While customers may not be able to catch up for a glass of wine or a pint indoors, venues have adapted to offer up comfortable outdoor experiences.
For those gasping for a pint at their local or looking to catch up over some drinks at their favourite restaurant, the only way to do so from Friday at 6pm is to book yourself a place to dine al fresco.
With new restrictions coming into play this weekend, venues across the area have once again reinvented their outdoor spaces to be able to retain custom to keep their businesses afloat.
To help you figure out where you can go to enjoy a drink or two, we’ve rounded up the outdoor hospitality venues now open and offering al fresco dining and drinks outside in the area.
From the trendiest bars to cutesy country pubs, not to mention lavish hotels launching new concepts and restaurants transforming the outdoor space they have, eateries across the north-east and the Highlands have been working tirelessly to provide a safe and welcoming space where everyone can have a good time responsibly.
Check out some of the places you can now grab a pint and a cocktail.
Just remember to bring a blanket with you and wrap up warm!
Please note: this list will be updated as more venues announce their status over the next couple of days.
Our beer garden is now open! Woohoo! It’s been a long time coming. We are accepting cash payments but would prefer contactless where possible. See you soon.
In line with new restrictions, we will unfortunately be unable to serve alcohol inside from 6pm on Friday night 😢We will be able to serve food and soft drinks inside up until 6pm. Unfortunately after that we will have to stop serving refreshments. We will still be operating the bowling until 10pm, however you will be unable to purchase any food or drinks inside. Alcohol can still be purchase between 11am – 10pm but only in the beer garden. We’re aware that the weather is turning a bit chilly, so we are working extremely hard to get all of our benches sheltered and we have purchased patio heaters to go throughout. That way you can still have a fun-filled night at Lane 15 without worrying about the questionable Scottish weather 🥶 We’re still waiting on the gazebos and patio heaters arriving so I can’t guarantee they will be here for the weekend, so wrap up cosy just incase. In the meantime we will keep everything crossed that they arrive on time 🤞🏼As always, track and trace will be done on arrival, there’s hand sanitising stations throughout and we do temperature checks on arrival. We ask that you wear your face masks on entering. Please only take your mask off when seated at the lanes or your table. If you need to go to the toilets etc, please put your mask back on 😷If you plan on visiting us, booking is advised. Please give us a call on (01343) 541444 to book 📞
