Ales

The Ferry Inn has always had a good reputation for local ales.

The bar at The Ferry Inn is open from 1230pm daily. Recognised in the Good Beer Guide and multiple winner of the CAMRA Northern Isles pub of the year, the cellar has racking for up to 10 local cask ales, with up to 4 handpulls on the bar as well as bottled local beers from the fridge or shelf showcasing the best of brews from our local Swannay and Orkney breweries.

From Rob Hill's Swannay Brewery, among others, Scapa Special, Orkney IPA, Orkney Best, Orkney Blast, St Magnus Ale and Orkney Porter all feature strongly while from The Orkney Brewery in Quoyloo come Dark Island, Corncrake Ale, Red MacGregor, Raven Ale, Northern Light and the fearsome Skullsplitter.

If you are into your local beers and are looking for some of the best conditioned cask ale in the north, then The Ferry Inn is the place to be.

But if beer is not your thing…don't rule us out, because at The Ferry we also have one of the best stocked back bars in the islands, where fun cocktails sit easily with great wine, premium gins, interesting rums including a number of overproof specialities (to be handled with care) and a fine selection of malt whisky from the length and breadth of Scotland.

Our local festivals have bounced back over the past couple of years and for 2024 we will again be looking for opportunity to get our ‘outdoor bar' going where grilled fresh local seafood can be chased down with local ale under the (occasional) summer sun!
