Campbeltown -- Pubs, not surprisingly, are the nightlife here, including two that host live music. They're in the center of the village, next door to each other. The Feathers Cross Street (tel. 01586/554-604), with stone walls, wooden floors, and hanging lamps, hosts bands playing a range of musical styles on Thursday nights. Open daily from 11am to 1am. The Commercial Cross Street (tel. 01586/553-703) has a variety of live music on Fridays and alternate Saturdays. A specialty here is real ale. Open Monday through Saturday from 11am to 1am and Sunday from 12:30pm to 1am. You'll find a quieter evening at the Burnside Bar, Burnside Street (tel. 01586/552-306), open daily from 11am to 1am. Conversation and local single malts are the preferred distractions here.
