Black Isle Bar and Rooms
What is it? A pub stocking local organic beer, with a secret garden out back.
Why go? Scotland’s national drink is whisky, and there are more than enough distilleries in the surrounding Highlands to have you rolling over the heather. However, perhaps not willing to let the Auld Enemy (England) pull ahead in any area, there’s an equally exciting craft beer scene. The Black Isle Bar has the familiar features of many hip London pubs – beer garden, exposed wood, sourdough pizza, beards. But it stocks local organic beer from the Black Isle brewery (tours are available) and even has rooms you can book for the night, if you feel the need to sleep off that local spirit. Visit during September for ‘Jocktoberfest’ celebrations.
