Since 1876, The Old Clubhouse Pub has been a place of warm welcomes, great stories, and memorable occasions. Originally serving as the clubhouse for Machrihanish Golf Club during the era of the legendary Old Tom Morris, it remains deeply connected to the rich golfing heritage of the area.
Open daily, 12pm-1am (food served until 10pm)
The Old Clubhouse combines history with genuine Scottish hospitality, creating a relaxed, old-world-style golf pub where visitors and locals feel equally at home. The meticulously restored interior has been thoughtfully crafted to recreate the character and charm of the original clubhouse, complete with a roaring wood-burning fire that provides the perfect setting for long, cosy evenings.
Outside, the pub’s beer garden offers one of the finest views in Kintyre, where guests can enjoy spectacular sunsets over Islay, Jura, and, on a clear day, the distant tip of Ireland.
Renowned for serving some of the finest food and drink in the area, The Old Clubhouse menu features hearty pub classics, freshly prepared favourites, and seasonal gourmet specials, all served in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
Behind the bar, guests will find local ales, premium spirits, and an extensive collection of malt whiskies, including rare and sought-after bottles from some of Scotland’s most celebrated local distilleries. Whether enjoying a dram by the fire, a leisurely meal with friends, or a pint while watching the sun disappear beyond the Atlantic horizon, The Old Clubhouse delivers an authentic taste of Kintyre.
As regulars and first-time visitors alike will attest, it is not only the food, drink, and views that make The Old Clubhouse special, but also the genuine warmth and hospitality that have defined this historic pub for more than 150 years.
