Argyll Vintners Ltd. - Dunoon

What a fantastic wee bar! If this were in New York City or the Northern Quarter of Manchester it would still be a great bar. In any company. And I write this as a bar and restaurant owner myself. I love this place. Fine and interesting wines, some quite exceptional. Lovely local food. Great design, with a very personal touch. And even better staff. Credit to Scott, Andy and Louise for creating something really special on a little back street in Argyll. Times are tough. Search this place out, please support them and have a great time yourself. It’s a hidden gem. And it’s worth the trip.

Excellent range of wines, whiskies and gin. Friendly and knowledgeable service. And then they opened a wine bar - it’s fantastic and very popular.

There isn' much you can say about Argyll Vintners that hasn't already been covered in previous reviews, but, It's worth repeating that what makes this hostelry unique in Dunoon, is the staff, and the atmosphere they create and manage. They actually take an interest in everyone who walks through their door and engage immediately in making sure they have a memorable experience rather than just another 'nice' experience.

The concept, either by accident or design, is brilliant. We walked in, looking for something to eat after progressing along a series of mundane food offerings elsewhere. The atmosphere was immediately welcoming and different somehow.

We were seated at the window to Hillfoot Street beside other, seemingly seasoned customers and were shown the procedure for ordering food and given a clipboard with a plethora of drinks choices, all quality stuff. After ordering drinks, we were shown the superbly stocked fridge with a choice of locally and UK sourced delicacies. Having made a selection, a large platter was prepared and place on the table to enjoy.

The surprises continued with the bill as we prepared to leave. It was so reasonable that we felt we had been undercharged.

If you are in Dunoon, don't miss if you can. The staff, owner, food, drink and ambience are faultless in the whole offering. Argyll Vintners bar is worthy of an award and should serve as a model in towns like Dunoon, which so desperately need footfall.

This venue came highly recommended. It didn't disappoint! We managed to get in at a quiet time. The owner/host was very welcoming, offering attention yet without being over-bearing. It carries a ridiculous range of wines and, to a lesser extent, spirits. We chose to try the charcuterie board. It is entirely personalised. Once items are selected, the board is put together and presentedly very tastefully. Any downside? Well, no, other than I chose a fairly expensive red wine option and consumed two glasses. Result? Doubled the final bill 😒 As a treat, once in a while, recommend this venue. Just choose carefully!
