The Balmoral Bar
Independent pub, serving quality food using fresh local ingredients, craft beers, lagers, real ales and wines in the centre of Ballater.
Since 1994…
We are a vibrant bar, with an ongoing atmosphere that is created by our customers and staff. We are family-friendly - yes, that includes four-legged, furry members of the family too!
We take pride in offering service with a smile.
FOOD
We are proud to offer a varied menu that has been specially designed by our head chef Trevor. With a frequently changing specials board, you can be assured to find something to your taste. Some of our customer favourites include our homemade Cullen Skink, North Sea haddock and chips, homemade pizzas and our ever-changing “Curry of the day”. All menu items are available for takeaway.
DRINKS
At the Balmoral, we are certain there is a drink for everyone. In addition to our selection of craft beers, lagers and real ales, we have a wide range of whiskies and gins, including local specialities. If you are short on time, we have a variety of shots too, including an ice-cold Jagermeister machine.
ENTERTAINMENT
We don’t just serve food and drink either. At the Balmoral, you can enjoy a live performance by a band or if you fancy taking to the stage yourself, you can come along to our infamous karaoke. Please check our Facebook for details about what’s on. We also have a jukebox, dartboard and pool table.
DOG FRIENDLY
We are dog friendly at the Balmoral bar and will always ensure that we have water and a tasty snack for your furry friend! It always makes us smile when we have a four-legged walk in.
“A gem in the centre of Ballater. Fantastic local knowledge from the bar staff and a great Scottish warm welcome!”
