Eagle Barge Inn in Highland

Utterly fabulous place, very friendly, such a novel and cozy place. Absolutely loved it!

Well worth the ride down the Great Glen from Fort Augustus.

Great pub, loads of whiskies to try. Lovely atmosphere, great setting.

Small but good menu....meals cooked on premises....quirky but good atmosphere and lovely owners. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening there

Where to start with this curates egg of a venue? Outwardly nice enough, once you descend into the bar /restaurant the decor is good and nautical, the bar area has a comfy looking sofa and the restaurant tables, few that there are, are clean and tidy.The lamb shank was delicious, the steamed fish was a bit bland and lacking a sauce. The draught beer was very palatable, however....The chef and waitress/bar tender were dressed in the tee shirts and shorts that we had seen them wearing all day long from across the water. They own a dog which has free rein to wander wherever it wanted including the kitchen.They don't have any ice because 'they have nowhere to keep it' and the wine list is virtually nonexistent. We all felt that it is a fantastic venue with potential but very badly managed and under achieving currentlyPersonally I wouldn't go back.

Great little gem. Food was fantastic, well priced and plentiful portions. Has a really good vibe and quirky feel. Definitely visit if you are in the area.

Well worth a visit for some food and refreshements. Cute barge pub and lock. Wild camping spot on the south bank penisnula pass the glamping pods and access to toilet ans shower facilities (key required)

Had researched this on the internet and arrived at 14:30 hoping to book a table for that evening , knowing orders had to be placed before 15:00. Unfortunately they were fully booked and we were advised that bar meals were available from 17:30 on a First come, first served basis. We went back at 17:00 and managed to get four bar stools. Enjoyed the local beers. At 17:30 ordered four chilli con carne with rice and bread. Two of us had it medium which is the standard strength here, however they also do hotter and you can have it as hot as you like. Two of us asked for the next strength up. It left our mouths tingling and we both agreed we wouldn’t have wanted it hotter. Still, we enjoyed it and have booked a table for dinner when we return. The lady behind the bar was polite and chatty despite being busy. There were lots of boaters and hikers passing through. Local resident dog comes around although is timid. Customers dogs were welcome too. I’ve never been in a barge before so was a unique experience and very homely with a fire going and lots of artefacts around the place.We returned to Eagle Barge again last night and were served by Michael who was very pleasant. Three of us choose the Peat Smoked Salmon from Mallaig and one Honey Glazed Salmon Steak. The Salmon was delicious and we only wished there had been more of the Pete Smoked Salmon. The fish was served with a side salad and boiled potatoes, peas, carrots and green beans which were well cooked (not overdone). We all found room for dessert which is homemade and available with cream, ice cream or custard. I choose chocolate fudge cake, two had syrup sponge pudding and another the cheesecake. The syrup sponge pudding is recommended. We had reserved a table for 19:00 but having arrived early we we asked if we wished to be served early, which we did. Well worth the second visit for the evening meal.

We had a couple of pints here after a long day on the water, great atmosphere although quite quiet. Lovely place to relax 👍
