About this space

The Islay Inn is a traditional Scottish pub organised around a compact, neighbourhood-pub layout that favours close seating and conversation.

Design: Exposed stone and dark wood panelling sit alongside tartan-upholstered bench seating and freestanding round tables, producing a compact, traditionally furnished interior lit by low-hung fixtures and natural light from street-level windows.

Features: A PA system and speakers are installed and the venue permits own music or a bring-your-own DJ. Wi‑Fi is provided. Fixed banquette seating and freestanding stools and tables allow flexible small-group layouts. A step-free guest entrance and wheelchair-accessible layout are in place.

Ideal for: Small local groups and gatherings seeking a relaxed, conversation-focused evening around seated tables.

What sets it apart: An extensive specialist whisky selection that focuses on regional single malts.
