Fort William · Nightlife

Traditional alehouse on the High Street with cask ales downstairs and a Tex Mex restaurant upstairs. Usually the busiest pub in town.

High Street bar in an 1806 drovers inn, open from noon until late, with live music and a terrace over Loch Linnhe. Walk in only in summer.

Barn bar at the Ben Nevis path start in Achintee, noon to 11pm daily in summer and Thursday to Sunday in winter. Real ale and live music.

Climbers bar in Glencoe, half an hour south, with cask ales, a long malt list and regular live music. Over 18s only, and you need a lift.

Restaurant, small hotel and art gallery in an old manse on Achintore Road. The quiet option for dinner rather than a night in the pub.
