Bar Rio
About
The bar or nightlife venue Bar Rio in Isle of Mull is listed at North Pier, Argyll Square, Oban PA34 5QD, United Kingdom, which puts it on the mainland side of the water that separates the town from the island. The venue trades as a restaurant, so food sits alongside the drinks rather than drinks alone. Its website is published at sgehotelgroup.com/columba/bar-rio.
A rating of 3.7 out of 5 has come in across 400 reviews, a large body of feedback for a bar of this kind and one that places it in the middle band of drinking spots on the island. Tobermory, Craignure, Salen, Dervaig, Fionnphort, Bunessan, Iona and Pennyghael are the settlements on and around Mull that feed custom toward the Oban waterfront. The venue does not trade on a listed programme of live music or DJ nights, so the draw rests on the setting and the food.
Since opening hours are not recorded here, the sensible move is to ring ahead before making the crossing. Photographs and the menu are published on the venue's own site. The Isle of Mull sits within the United Kingdom, where island shops and harbourside cafés sell smoked fish, island cheeses, fudge and bakery bread.
Puffins, guillemots, razorbills and Manx shearwaters nest on the cliffs and offshore islets around Britain's islands, which makes a ferry crossing a birdwatching trip in itself. British islands were fortified in both world wars, and concrete coastal defences still stand on several of them. Ferries link Oban with Craignure, the main village on Mull, and the crossing is short enough to combine a meal here with a day on the island.
