Oban recommendations (from a local!)
Drinks & Nightlife
Oldest pub in Oban. Lovely little traditional pub with cosy corners for drinking upstairs, and warm lounge with fires and eating options upstairs. Usually live music on Saturday eve’s. Also good for inexpensive, Scottish pub grub.

Local drinking haunt. If you want to mingle with the locals in Oban this is the place to be! Be warned, once they get talking you could be there for the night. There are 2 doors to enter bar - “Gents” area on the right with Darts board and live football, rugby games etc on TV. One not to miss.

Another must visit in Oban! Awarding winning chocolate served from this amazing little cafe/ shop on the Esplanade.. You may have to wait for a table but it will be well worth it for the chance to sample the sweet hot drinks and desserts available. Shop also on site for gifts to take home, which will be hard to resist.
