The Winking Owl, Craft Ale Pub

Such a great place. The bothy bar downstairs has live music on Fridays and Saturdays and has a real bothy vibe. The staff are incredibly friendly. Great selection of well kept and pulled local real ale. We didn't eat but the food looked good. We stopped in for a few drinks on a night they were incredibly busy and they should be praised for how they handed it. They were all rushed off their feet but still gave everyone a great experience, and discounts off food if late etc. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful evening meal it was really delicious. The customer service was amazing. Staff that received us were very friendly and kind and we had a lovely table looking over the Cairngorms! Fantastic place but you must book in advance.

Stopped there from our way back from Aviemore and had beers . The one I had was Cairngorm Gold. Good interiors and plenty of outdoor seating area which you can enjoy on a dry day. The entrance to the pub was a bit confusing as there are two. If you climb up the stairs it takes you to the restaurant. And the rather back door entrance is to the bar and beer garden. Overall a good pub and for a quick stopover if you are in that area

The food here was very good and the portions were large. We got the chicken burger and the beef roast. The roast was massive and perfectly cooked and the chicken was charred just the right amount. The only thing I wasn't amazed with was the golden margarita, but they have plenty of good beers and other drinks to choose from.

Food was seriously, genuinely lovely. The haggis was another level, and for someone who doesn't eat or even entertain the idea of mashed potato, this dish was fantastic. Beers were great and from the local brewery too. Dessert was very good. The only minor let down was waiting time between main and pud, but that is me being overly critical! Overall, a great experience and would definitely go back if I find myself in the area again!
