Pierhead Restaurant & Bar

Shetland


This pub near the harbour in Lower Voe opens year-round but does food in summer only, with hearty home cooking supplemented by daily local seafood specials. Eat in the convivial bar or the upstairs restaurant. Hours are very prone to modification, so call ahead.
