Ben Nevis
Send us more details about this place.
Inspired by its designer's West Highland ancestry, the Ben Nevis is a cramped, quirkily assembled pub that indulges the celebrated Ranald McColl's fondness for 'natural' materials, from the 'Highland faultline' along the floor, to the organic angles and found qualities of the metal, stone and wood. The Nevis serves good traditional food but does two things rather better: folk music and the water of life. There are over 180 whiskies available at any one time and the threat of a fiddle bow or even a harp in the ribs is very real three or four rollicking nights a week.

Apparently free speech is not allowed when reporting the facts of a none-too-welcoming reception by a member of the bar-staff at the Ben Nevis.
The comments that were removed were accurate and i am dissapointed in The List for removing them. But clearly the fact that they have "a number of fiddlers all playing in unison with a sqeeze box player or the occasional piper" outweighs the rude service served up by the staff.

Its rather a pity that unmoderated reviews like the two previous appear here. The Ben Nevis is a unique and contemporary Scottish bar where you can enjoy a great whisky from the hundreds on display behind the bar.
Mid week and on Sunday there can easily be found a number of fiddlers all playing in unison with a sqeeze box player or the occasional piper. Yes I was there that night and it was really fun. Our friends from Sweden thought the place great as well.
Go to the Ben Nevis and make your own mind up. They also have some good real ale and some german beer from The West Brewery in Glasgow.
10 out of 10 in my book.
