Drop by, chat up the locals, enjoy some music out back in the summer.....or find a corner and stare out the window awhile. Either way, a classic Iocal Irish pub, in the best way possible.

This is the most amazing pub in the world, unless it's just when we visit!…read moreOn our first ever visit ti Islay, we were staying in a boarding house very close to the pub so we had to try it out. On entering we found a local guy singing Elvis songs to the jukebox with a broom in his hands as a mike stand! We thought the usual - Here's a drunk!, but, no. He asked us very nicely if we had any requests and proceeded to play, and sing, them. After a few drinks it was our turn to request, and sing! By the end of the night, a singing group, booked to play in the nearby hotel had found they had no audience and come into the Ardview to join in! The selection of drinks was excellent considering the problems of getting stocks (apart from malt whiskies, of course!) and we were accepted as part of the family within a very short time. The next day, locals were stopping to talk in the street and say how much they'd enjoyed the night - yet it was down to them! Magical!

The mussels were locally harvested so the6 were really fresh. A great deal! My wife had a vegan curry rice dish which was excellent as well. Forgot exactly how much it cost but it was good value as well. We were pleasantly surprised they actually had a vegan dish on the menu.

We arrived at 7pm the bar was buzzing but restaurant empty…read more We weren't planning on a three course meal but the menu was very appealing. Setting: Very nice, spacious with bare stone walls and tea lights everywhere which was very cosy! We had intended only to have a starter or light snack but the bar was full (buzzing) and no available seating for our party of 4 so we tried the restaurant-It was a Sunday evening and we had the whole place to ourselves- I love it when this happens, it makes me feel like a celebrity! :) Food: Very difficult to please all four of us as we have such different tastes but this restaurant was fabulous. Lovely range of foods and extensive wine list catering for a wide variety of tastes- all well priced. (Two courses for 25€ ; three courses 29€) My main was salmon and hake - well cooked and flavorsome, sides came included (veg, potato and chips) Staff: Waiting staff were helpful but not intrusive. I'd have liked more help / recommendation with the wine choice.

The scenery in the surrounding peninsula is stunning and the local people will make you feel very much at home. If you go to Ireland then you should not miss out on visiting this gem.
