Bothy - Carte

Well kept and tasty Scapa Special. Pleasant and efficient staff. Good situation in centre of Kirkwall . Nice atmosphere.

Excellent seafood platter in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful. Gluten free bread/oatcakes not a problem. Very good value for money.

On a busy Saturday night in Kirkwall (where 5 other places had no availability at all to eat after 5.30pm) we found the Bothy Bar almost empty. No idea why as the food was great and staff were friendly. Highly recommended. Voir le carte

Excellent staff 1st of all in this bar . A decent and varied menu . I did think the starters were a little pricey especially compared to the mains. If you like duke box playing in pub atmosphere then you'll enjoy this place . Food was ok to good .

Good food, welcoming locals (even cheery local drunk! Went for an early evening meal, thought it might be the sort of place that goes quiet when you walk in but locals quite friendly and soon joined by various other visiting parties so good atmosphere.

Was really pleased to catch this place open (currently only opening Friday and Saturday). Black pudding and scallop starter had my name on it and didn't disappoint. Had a special of chicken stroganoff, which was good. Ale was Scapa Special also tasty. The food comes from the same kitchen as the neighbouring hotel. Voir le carte

I happened to be in Kirkwall on the day of the 2019 Women’s Soccer Final. I was looking for a pub with a tv and the match….the Bothy Bar fit that bill. A typical pub with all the accouterments, including drunks. All the local brews and friendly bar maids, made for a nice afternoon watching the match….and the US won! Recommended.

This bar is located in the outskirt of the old town, in a narrow passsage together with The Albert Hotel. They advertised they have the best selection of cask beer and Orkney Whiskey. We were tempted to enter and simply enjoyed a local beer and a local whiskey. The service was quick and friendly and we enjoyed our refreshing time at Bothy Bar.

A lovely Scottish pub with a warm friendly atmosphere, and super friendly staff. We went back two nights in row it was that good and memorable. If you want an authentic scottish pub experience with fantastic food to boot, look no further than the Bothy Bar. A short walk from our accommodation at the Orkney Hotel, and one of our best decisions that night, and to be honest I can't recommend this place highly enough. Voir le carte
