Seating is also available outside. This place is also one street above the main street that runs along the shore. So if you're a tourist (like me) this is a great place to avoid the tourists. The beer is cold, the food is hot, the smiles are warm. - did I mention this place is clean and well lit?

This is a great pub in the ground floor of the Argyll Hotel. Decent prices, friendly patrons and…read morestaff. Food was quite good, prices were fair. They have Pub Trivia in Tuesdays at 8:30 PM (well, maybe more like 9 PM). It's £1 per person to play, and the questions are 1) British-centric, and 2) difficult, but it's fun and worth the price of participating. A great place for a drink or a meal.

It is usually absolutely packed and far too hot and guys think its ok to grab you walking past as well. The drinks are cheap but you struggle to find seats and tables after 9pm over the weekend. The music is usually so loud that you often have to shout as loud as you can to talk to your friends. Although this is one of the better pubs, once it starts filling up you know its time to move onto another place!

The clachan's reputation has taken a dive recently due to them stopping live music at the weekends…read more If there's any music it's a little boy or girl sitting with a laptop on the stage, not what people want on a night out. The pub has an upstairs and downstairs, though upstairs is usually only busy during the summer. The place was refurbished a few years ago after a fire but it's very grubby and dingy and the toilets have to be given a miss. What was once a place for a great night out in town has lost a lot of clientele and is now empty at the weekends with only a handful of ned-types being the regulars. One to miss I'm afraid

This charming and cozy place is situated in a magical part of Scotland. After a really long drive…read morelate into the rainy evening, my partner and I came by this place. Their kitchen was just about closed, and a lot of food was already sold out completely. They managed to prepare some sandwiches for us, which was really kind as we were starving and everything else was closed. It was the perfect end to a rainy and chilly drive in the dark evening. We returned the following day for a proper dinner. This time we had a delicious meal, with good ale, and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Everything was delicious. I think the atmosphere of this warm inn amidst the wild and roaring space deserves some merit as well. The establishment itself has this cozy, communal, and quite bustling atmosphere, which everyone seems to gravitate to in such a mystical and sleepy place. Outside, there's this beautiful, ancient, raw nature, that's so dormant and old, that feels so past civilization and humans, and then you enter this place and reacquaint yourself with people and interaction once again, in a communal, close-knit space. I loved it. I'd really recommend for anyone to just visit the area, walk around, feel its old, natural, and magnificent power, and then stop for a delicious and hearty meal here after. You definitely won't regret it. Try to get there not too late, however, or you might end up with no meal like we almost did!

The Heb is now know as Era after a recent facelift…read more Upstairs is now seperate from downstairs and since the reopening is available for hire for functions and parties and now a firm favourite for hen nights! Downstairs is the main area which has a fair sized dancefloor with a small stage area and there's a small door fee to get in on Friday/Saturday nights. The walls are covered with newspapers and magazines from bygone days and there are a few small flat screen tvs around the main area that sometimes show films, though you can never hear the sound they're a nice distraction when waiting to get served at the bar. Theres seating in one area of the dancefloor where the dj booth used to be and more couches and tables up on the split level. The bar serves a wide range of spirits, shots and alcopops though the prices are slightly higher than other pubs in town. Friday night is now Kiss N Kill night which is a very popular music night with a dj set and then a live band playing. There's nearly always a live band on a Saturday night too. Who's playing is advertise in the local paper The Stornoway Gazette on the Thursday previous. The main downside to era is the toilets, there was a lick of paint and a new sink during the revamp but the ladies is still very grubby, not a pleasant experience Quite often they get world famous dj's up, Lange is a favourite and goldie has been up too. Open till 1am on a Saturday

Oddly, all four people in our group ordered paninis, but at least we each picked a different kind of panini sandwichs. They came with a small salad and coleslaw (I could have eaten a whole bowl of the tasty slaw). My chicken salad panini was spot on as to what I was hoping for. For dessert we shared a sticky toffee pudding. The dessert might be a lot for one person but it's always best to share. The service was pleasant and immediate. This is the place to stop for lunch in Uig! They also have an excellent view of the bay from some of the restaurant's windows. I definitely recommend Bakur Restaurant for whenever you find yourself in Uig.

Definitely give this one a shot!
