Even though Aviemore is a very small village, there's no shortage of places to eat out or have a quiet drink thanks to the tourist trade in the area. Here is a list of a few:
* The Cairngorm Hotel, Grampian Road, opposite the Railway station. "The Cairn" as it is known locally is home to a traditional style pub/lounge and restaurant. As well as the usual international beers they also offer a range of locally brewed beer and ales. Food is more expensive than normal pub fare, but is of a very high quality! Excellent service.
* The Old Bridge Inn, Dalfaber Road, behind the Railway station. Another of Aviemore's tradtional style pubs. Has an open fire in the evenings. Has outdoor seating area facing the river during the summer. Good food & beer, but a bit expensive for your average backpacker.
* The Winking Owl, Grampian Road. Semi traditional in style and a bit rough round the edges, but serves yummy pub grub and has a good atmosphere.
*
* The Skiing-doo, Grampian Road, near the Post Office. Theme bar with old signs, posters, skis and various other strange items adorning every surface, including a Griffins SC of Enfield swimming hat and a Gillingham FC mini scarf! Great surf'n'turf! Try their Garlic Burgers! YUM!!
* The Vault, Grampian Road, just down the stone steps near the public toilet/showers. One of two of Aviemore's night clubs. Plays mainly popular chart music however also has a electronic/techno music scene, with the club having various electro nights seeing such act as Cagedbaby and DJ Fergie play in this small club, it is probably the most popular place to go at the end of the night when all the other pubs close.
*Harkai's -- 45 Grampian Road, 5 mintues for the Youth Hostel on the way into town. Fish restaurant with connecting chip-shop take away. Good range of fish and good quality food.
