This charmingly classic Irish Pub/restaurant serves up great food, accompanied by fast; friendly and cheerful service. Truly a "find," when you're in Oban. They have an extensive beer/wine list; and the scotch's circle the bar overhead. My husband had two different Oban scotch; I stuck with a nice Cab. Their specials were sea bass and Langoustine cocktail, both of which our dining partners said were terrific. I had an appetizer portion of mussels, which were served with GF toast. The broth was creamy and garlicky, and lovely to sop up with the toast. My husband had the steak and ale pie, and was in heaven, I wish I had tried the mackerel pate! Our server, Arran, was delightfully warm; helpful; and sweet.... Absolutely darling. He let us know music was about to start just after we arrived - an older Scotsman playing familiar tunes on an accordion -- and that just made the whole experience better!

The piratish/sea decor might lead you to think there is lots of seafood- but not so many options. For seafood go right outside to the shack- affordable platters and mussels galore. This restaurant is more of a pub with Scottish/english options. They even have curry.

We just had items from the starter menu. I had the seafood chowder and onion rings. My goodness that chowder! Thick. Creamy. Mussels in the shell. Fish. Potato. Perfect seasoning. That was one great bowl! Onion rings? We've all had lousy ones. These were anything but that! Crisp. Not greasy. Done perfectly! My wife got the salmon pate. More of a smoked salmon spread. Delicious. Menu says horseradish is on the mix. Nether of us tasted it. Not a complaint at all. This was a great spread. She also got the soup of the day, tomato-basil. Luxuriously thick and smooth. Plenty of both tomato and basil flavor. It also has a slight spicy kick to it, which was really nice. Loud and busy place. Service a bit slow. We would come back tho.

We stopped in before heading out to dinner the other night. Lucky for out group of 6- we found a table in the back that perfectly accommodated our group. A quick trip to the bar and we were all set with our beers and yes, even one glass of wine! The atmosphere is loud and boisterous. Everyone just seemed to be out for a good time. And while we didn't eat, the food around us looked good with a wide range of offerings. Know that this is not a fancy place- rather a simple pub with wooden furniture and a smallish bar set into the corner. Great location overlooking the bay, especially if you are lucky enough to get one of the tables in the front windows. Prices are comparable to other places in the area. Given this place is just down the street from our hotel- it's definitely our place to stop and have a beer before heading in for the night.

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of our hike of the West Highland Way, and had the best time here! The staff was wonderful (although it's obvious that they were all horse thieves, pirates and highway men in an earlier life, they were so friendly and helpful, they made us feel very welcome). The food was great (I'm still dreaming about that delicious steak and Guinness pie). The atmosphere made you feel like you'd stepped back in time-- lamp light and muskets and stuffed puffins and a bear in a Drovers t-shirt and kilt. OK, maybe not TOTALLY historically accurate, but history mixed with wit and a sense of fun. They tell me this inn is haunted. It must be by friendly, fun-loving spirits. On our first night there was live music at the bar. We enjoyed the singer/ guitar & harmonica player very much, but it all kicked up a notch when he got the whole room to join in on the singing. Everyone was clapping, stomping and pounding the table, while belting out a rousing rendition of "The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond". I can't remember enjoying a meal more. On our second night there, the power went out (thank you, Hurricane Amy). The staff showed that although they are retired horse thieves and pirates, they take their current jobs in hospitality very seriously. They could not complete cooking of the evening meals, so it was a quick pivot to sandwiches for all. They handled it with professionalism and grace that made the inconvenience part of the adventure (as one staff member quipped, it was all part of the haunted experience). Breakfast, too, was pulled together with what was available and ingenuity, as they made instant coffee and tea with water heated on the wood stove, and we feasted on cold cereal and granola bars. But as the staff met the challenges with good humor and made the best effort to make it a good experience for the guests, we walked away with an abundance of good memories and an enduring fondness for the Drovers Inn (and its resident horse thieves, pirates and highway men).

It's such a great atmosphere with a cozy area to eat in front of a wood-burning cast iron stove. It's a very pet friendly place as well. We saw a cute doggie enjoying the warmth inside the bar. We ordered the chicken casserole special. It was good despite the price being a little too high for what it was. I'd expect to have a puff pastry on top of it for that price. Although, it was very tasty even though the presentation was not all that great. It was served with mash potatoes instead of chips. It was good. They have a big variety of local taps. I went with the Jock Pumpkinhead Stout from Loch Lomond Brewery while my husband had the Man O'Hoy from Orkney Brewery. We were very happy with our local brew selections. It was a very nice atmosphere for lunch. If you're a Harry Potter fan, then you may want to take that hike from here to the filming location of Hagrid's Hut. The pathway up to the hut is just a short walk from the inn. The inn itself is kind of unique with the ice ax and ski décor. It reminded me a little of Ketchikan for some reason. Maybe it was the 5 Points of Contact photo that I saw by Peter Daynes. There's also a display of ice axes designed by Hamish MacInnes. Our tour guide in Ketchikan was coincidentally named Hamish. Wow, everything does come around full circle. It all turned out to be a nice lunch experience in the Highlands.
