FOOD & DRINK REVIEW
ban’s newest bistro and bar has opened it’s doors as a Scottish themed lounge bar and entertainment venue. The Creel, part of The Woodside Hotel in Oban, has been totally refurbished by new owners Alan and Mary McKie and now offers live en- tertainment, a fabulous bar menu and, with the enclosed beer garden, is now even child friend- ly. Dogs are welcome too!
The bar is warm and welcoming and designed by Alan himself with an authentic nautical feel, from the creel baskets on the walls, the nets and buoys on the ceiling to the ships wheel and - men and friends, keen to help Alan and Mary out with their new project. Well known local head chef Archie McIntyre brings his 35 years experience to creating some fabulous dishes at The Creel. Why not
The Creel O
pop in and try one of Archie’s famous steaks served piping hot on a sizzling platter or have a look at the specials board to see what else is available that day. All The Creel’s seafood is locally sourced, fresh, every day, which means the menu also changes daily according to what is available. Food is served between 12 noon and 2.30pm and 5pm until 9pm from Monday through to Friday and all day Saturdays and Sundays. And being child friendly, there is menu for the wee ones too! There is a good selection of malts, as you would expect from a good Scottish bar but The Creel also offers real ales from the classic favourite Old Speckled Hen to the lesser known St An- drew’s Ale. However, like the menu, this chang- es regularly to offer both variety and choice. Both bars at The Creel are open all day. There is live music every Friday and Saturday night to enjoy too, with both local bands and - providing some fantastic music until 2am. Alan and Mary are offering the use of the bar and huge beer garden at The Creel free to lo- cal charitable groups for fund raising events, particularly on Saturday mornings so please do contact them if you are involved with a local charity.
So for some great music, tasty, fresh cooked food, a lovely friendly atmosphere and service with a smile, why not relax and chill in this cool, newly refurbished venue.
