Stopped by for food on a Wednesday in September but was fully booked. Had a couple of drinks, and its a small bar but great vibe, staff shaking cocktails and busy. I had one of the 5 local beers on draught, Scapa, a nice hop light ale hand pulled for just over a fiver.

Myself and my friend visited Helgi's twice in a week while on holiday on Orkney. Both visits were great, the beer and the food were very good and the staff were very friendly. A special thanks goes to Jenna for looking after us very well and for the recommendations she gave me for different local gins to try. I would not hesitate to return.

We dined here two nights in a row during our holiday. It was a very comfortable environment with a varied menu and really good, tasty food. The service on the first night was excellent especially as it was quite busy and the girls on staff were constantly on the go. There were different staff on the next night and service was much slower - we had to wait a considerable time to order food after sitting at the table and then again to order dessert at the end of the meal. Would definitely recommend booking as it is a very busy venue and several walk-ins were turned away on both nights we were there.

Tremendous service. We asked for some good whiskey and thoroughly enjoyed our 18 yr old Scapa and 18 yr old Highland Park. A very lovely young lady helped us to make the right choice. Very friendly and would highly recommend.

Quaint inside with great upper room that has wonderful views over the harbor. Tomato pepper soup was incredible! Fish and chips - wow!Cheese board - great presentation. Large portions and great prices. Service initially slow but improved as we sat.

Good pub in a nice location. Food is good quality and lots of locals. You won’t get in without a reservation. Also they had non alcoholic beer - a plus for us.

Food here was amazing! The staff were friendly & we were sat in a booth by the window upstairs with a great view of the harbour. We had a jug of pink mojito (mojito with cranberry juice) cocktail too which was nice too. We had the cumin cauliflower & halloumi fries to start and then fish and chips for the main. The fish and chips were fantastic!
