A Bar Steeped in History

Why Bar 1751? Well the original hotel building was said to have been built in 1751 although there are indications it may have been ealier. However, there is a beam in the lounge bar area with 1751 carved into it, so it must be true, mustn’t it?

Notwithstanding the history for our guests happily everything is now modern and efficient. The bar has recently been extended into what was a lounge with the addition of new tables and chairs giving spacious additional seating and dining space where customers can enjoy meals from our bar menu or just simply enjoy a nice pint.

The front lounge still remains a nice place to sit quietly and perhaps get on with some work or chat to friends while enjoying a pint. With our super fast internet business people can get on with their work efficiently without the drudgery of waiting for downloads.

With the installation of the Heineken dispense system and our chilled cellar our draught beers are beautifully kept and served to enjoy.

BAR1751

Bringing you the range of variety you want!

As the days go by, our range of drinks in the bar is slowly increased. With the arrival of Heineken, we have significantly increased the range of draft beers and cider as well as carrying bottles and cans. Our wine list is gradually increasing too with our house wines a real favourite at realistic prices by the bottle or glass. Sporting an Italian restaurant our range of Italian wines gradually increases. And of course as this is Scotland no bar would be complete without a full range of spirits including time honoured single malt whiskies!

The bar is fully open to non-residents who are most welcome. In the warmer months, the bar spills out into the lovely gardens where customers can eat and drink in the nice weather. With barbecues and hog roasts as envisaged for fine weather, what could be more inviting?
