What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the excellent craft beer selection and delicious wood-fired pizzas, often highlighting the unique toppings and good value. The atmospheric converted church setting and friendly staff contribute to a positive experience, though some find the pizza sauce too dominant or cheese sparse. The self-service ordering and potential for crowds are noted.
"Huge array of 🍻beers on offer, the staff are friendly. It gets busy pretty quickly once they open I would recommend just asking to sit with other people to ensure you get a spot and enjoy a good pizza and a beer. I highly recommend 😁"
Pete
"Had spotted the place the previous evening and thought it looked worth investigating and very glad we did.
Pizzas were absolutely fabulous and the 3 different beers I had were all very good too.
2 seating levels plus outside area. Beer wasn't cheap but it's not mass produced and the quality was well worth it. Service was good and would have no hesitation recommending it."
Steve Prentice
"Fantastic little find in Fort William. Excellent value - for 2 pizzas & 2 glasses of wine only £41. Food came really quickly & really nice pepperoni pizza with a tasty passata base. I don’t like cheese on a pizza - no problem. We went around 5:45 on a Wednesday night. Definitely recommend a visit & the prices are extremely reasonable. Park near the marina & it’s a 5 minute walk."

8 Dog Friendly Restaurants Fort William
The Black Isle Bar in the centre of Fort William is a top pick for a dog friendly restaurant. It is a lovely spacious restaurant in a converted Church (I think) serving a range of incredible wood fire pizzas. They have a range of their own incredible beers (brewed in the Highlands) and ciders on tap.
