Moulin Inn & Brewery

The Moulin Pub has been the most popular choice of locals in Pitlochry and Moulin for over three centuries.

The past 15 years have seen many changes at The Moulin, most noteworthy the setting up of the adjacent Moulin Brewery, the provision of Ales from our very own Brewhouse added a unique ingredient that quickly saw a steady stream of new visitors to the Inn. To their pleasant surprise they found a busy but peaceful Inn, with great tasting beers and a variety of locals to tell them stories, give directions and recommend visits to local attractions.

They added lots of cosy niches using wood and beams from the old Coach House ( Now the Brewery), and spread cushions with soft fabrics. The immediate area of the Bar, most popular with the locals, has been refloored, memorabilia added along with a large range of malt whiskies, but otherwise remains as comfortable as ever. The No Smoking rule doesn’t apply to the Log Fires, but has certainly made the Inn a cleaner place to enjoy your food.

A great place for coffee, lunch or dinner.
