Craft beer-forward bar with standout wood-fired pizzas and relaxed Highland hospitality in central Fort William.

A favourite with locals and visitors alike, Black Isle Bar blends a strong craft beer ethos with approachable food, best known for its wood-fired pizzas, salads and shareable small plates. Set on Fort William’s High Street, its casual and friendly atmosphere makes it ideal for a refreshing stop on a Highlands road itinerary. The bar’s small but thoughtful menu pairs well with a range of Scottish ales and craft beers, and the outdoor seating is particularly welcoming on drier days. This laid-back Eat & Drink option adds variety to the Oban → Fort William segment, offering something beyond formal dining without sacrificing quality or local character. 

Good to know: • No formal reservations — walk-in only. • Dog-friendly and family-friendly. • Best for lunch or casual dinner.
