    This place has a serious morale problem. It may start with the portly kilted man at the bar -- very rude.

    Like another reviewer mentioned, the wait for food was quite long. I think we waited about 45…read moreminutes, possibly longer for our dinner. That being said, the food itself wasn't bad. Nothing amazing. I'd call it Scotland's (or wherever it's from) version of Applebee's back in the US. Breakfast was better since it was a buffet but even then a lot of things ran out and I had to ask for them to be replaced because the staff were not doing it right away. Again, food was decent. Don't think I will visit again next time.

    This restaurant really needs to get its act together…read more We were staying at the attached Premier Inn, so naturally, this restaurant was to be our go-to when we needed meals. What a huge disappointment. This place is so horribly disorganized. It can take 20-30 minutes waiting in line to order your meal from the bar, because it can take up to 10 minutes for one person to be rung through. Why, I would imagine, is because they seem to have the same person taking orders, pouring drinks, answering the phone, and seating people. Either they're horribly, horribly understaffed or they really poorly plan where their staff are placed during the day. The breakfast we'd bought for them from the Premier Inn was good food-wise, but again, poor, poor planning. One of the days we stayed there, breakfast started being served at 7 and we got there at about 7:05. By the time we got there, all of the meat was already gone. We suspected a really selfish table of dudes with a giant bowl of sausages in the middle of the table, but this place should know by now that, being so close to amazing hiking opportunities, they're going to get a lot of hungry early-risers. It seems they don't even start cooking more food until it runs out, and it takes quite awhile for it to be refilled. The woman working there in the morning was kind to us but seemed to dislike people in general, which made the experience a bit unpleasant. I hate to say it, but while we loved the Premier Inn, I don't know if I'd stay there again knowing their attached restaurant is such a mess. I can't even begin to imagine how much business the Brewers Fayre loses every day due to their poor service.

    I'm giving this a four star rating, but it's very much a back-and-forth between different concerns…read more First, it's cool that there's a local brewery on Skye and that's probably a full star bump. The beers themselves are just so-so although some of that is just because the local styles aren't exactly my jam. British pub ale (which is what most of their beers wind up being close to) is just not my jam. That said, they have a few better and more complex beers. The Cuillin Beast (scotch ale) and Black (stout, but not too heavy and closer to a less creamy Guinness) are both pretty decent. Nothing mind-blowing though. If you're a craft beer person, this is a "fun because it's local" more than "fun because they're really good" stop. There's a few bottles of stuff you can find in the shop (including a smoked beer, an ESB, and a lighter ale) that aren't available in the restaurants around Skye, but mostly it's the same beers which you can (impressively) find for sale in almost all the restaurants on Skye. The brewery shop itself is disappointing. It's basically a bottle shop with a bunch of merchandise near the pier in Uig. There's a small coffee shop, but you can't do tastings, there's no food. There's attempt to make a space to hang out and enjoy anything near the pier. Even a few picnic tables with a view of the harbor would be really nice. This all rounds out to a four star for me, but it really depends what you're looking for.

    Nice little shop with nice staff, but there isn't a tasting room to try before you buy(I'm not sure…read morewhat the UK's laws are regarding this.). So there is some risk on buying something you might not like, but all the bottles were reasonably price anyway. I paid a reasonable £3.30 for a 500ml bottle of tasty ale.

    Means "meeting place" in Gaelic, its an interesting Highlands Single Malt brewery where you can…read morejoin tours or go for samples and flights. Interestingly, its now owned by Diageo which is known for their Johhnie Walker Blended Whiskey. The distillery is located near fresh spring water and abundant peat from the nearby bogs. It is also the highest distillery in Scotland, sitting in the mountains of the Highlands. The history dates back to the late 18th Century and though its changed owners multiple times you still get a deep sense of tradition. They have aging barrels stained black from generations of whisky sitting around as decoration. 30 Year Old: 11 quid a dram, they told me they are never going to use the specific combination of barrel, temperature, timing so this batch was very special. I finished it so much the glass looked like it was brand new when I gave it back. There's also a large giftshop with clothing, accessories, home goods, foods, and of course a multitude of different Whiskys. They also had an interesting "bottle your own" 12 year with custom label for 130 pounds.

    As you embark on your journey towards the Highlands, a stop at Dalwhinnie is worthwhile. We weren't…read moresure of our timing so opted to just drop in rather than book a tour. This was a good decision as you never know how long your journey will take while traveling throughout the various parts of Scotland. They have a tasting room inside and many interesting offerings to explore. The prices may seem high at first but it's because they are pouring a lot more than the usual 25ml pour. While they have a lot of flight options, we chose to build our own with options that are only available at the distillery. Why try something you can get elsewhere. I love that they were paired with chocolate. That really set the experience a part. I wish they served smaller portions so you could try more, but it was a good experience and we appreciated the knowledgeable staff!
