Criterion Bar, Stornoway (Crit)

REAL ALE not available
32 Point Street, Stornoway, HS1 2XF (View on Google Map)
No website available

Temporary description from the CAMRA Historic Pub Interiors website:- Small single-room traditional bar in a two-storey building that remains unchanged for many years. The gantry, bar counter and fixed seating all probably date from the 1930s, and there are some good window screens. As with many places on Lewis, closed on Sundays. Thanks to Michael Slaughter for the description. Its one of the few places in Stornoway where you can still have a good yarn in Gaelic. Caley 80 on draught as well as a few good malts Regular Irish music from "The Critters" which a band formed from whoever turns up!

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Small single bar with a narrow frontage that is the only pub or hotel in the Western Isles with an historic interior. It was refitted in the 1930s and retains the bar counter which curves at the left / front end. The gantry mostly dates from the 1930s but the third bay has some modern tiling. A couple of fridges have replaced lower bar back shelves. There is 1930s dado paneling around the room and fixed seating which may date from the 1930s but has been re-covered in modern times. The window screen looks modern and frosted ‘Bar’ glass in the two inner doors looks replacements. Toilets were modernised in c.2000.
