Welcome

The Gabbro Bar is the local pub of the Broadford Hotel, on the Torrin road at the edge of Broadford, and it is the plain, friendly counterpart to the hotel's own cocktail bar.

It is a pub to make yourself at home in: a drink at the bar, a game of pool or darts, and all the favourites from the snack bar menu, with last orders for food at 8.30pm. There are regular quiz nights and live music, posted on the hotel's social pages. Dogs are welcome. Inside the hotel, Spinnakers bar mixes cocktails built on Drambuie, and the hotel restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner from Skye produce. The Gabbro Bar opens from 4pm on weekdays from Monday to Thursday, from 2pm on Friday, from noon on Saturday and from 12.30pm on Sunday, until 10pm, or 11pm on Friday and Saturday.

Scotland, in print.

We want to show you the best that Scotland has to offer. The makers and the creatives, the enduring experiences, the evocative tales, the concealed corners. The roads less travelled that take you to places that matter. The adventures that gather you up and sweep you away. The blend of the wild and the artistic that makes Scotland what it is. We’d love for you to join us.
