Crinan Hotel's Mainbrace Bar and the
Panther's Arms are located on the ground floor of the hotel - the ideal place
to find that longed-for cup of tea, coffee or refreshing drink following a day
out in Argyll. Our chef has been busy preparing a new menu for
the Mainbrace. On our many beautiful sunny days guests
tend to sit on the patio of the Mainbrace and enjoy
the hustle and bustle of life at the sealock of Crinan
Canal.

Enjoying a large bowl of mussels and a tipple
from the bar is a favourite way for travellers and
yachtsmen to end their day. The Mainbrace menu is
available at lunch-time and also in the evenings.If you are keen to meet the locals and fishermen why not join
them in the Panther's Arms, our public bar, stocked with a good selection of Scottish
beers, whiskies and spirits. |
