The Taybank
About
The Taybank is a historic riverside pub, restaurant, and hotel nestled in the picturesque village of Dunkeld, Scotland. From the moment you step across the gleaming River Tay, you’re welcomed into a warm, inviting atmosphere that blends local heritage with contemporary hospitality. The restaurant showcases a menu crafted from the finest seasonal produce grown in the nearby walled garden, with dishes that celebrate Scottish flavours and local ingredients. The bar offers a wide selection of fine beers, whiskies and craft cocktails, and often hosts live music, ranging from traditional folk sessions to modern jazz performances. In the summer months, the Taybank’s expansive beer garden becomes a vibrant gathering place, complete with long table dinners, open‑air cinema nights, and colourful lanterns lighting the riverbank. For those seeking relaxation, the Braan Sauna provides a wood‑fired sauna and cold‑plunge experience overlooking the Tay, while guests of the hotel enjoy comfortable rooms and private apartments with river views. Whether you’re after a quick pint, a leisurely lunch, a family dinner, a romantic evening, or a restful getaway, The Taybank offers an unforgettable experience for locals and tourists alike.
