Oot The Back An new outdoor covered bar experience in the heart of Kirkwall

12/08/2025

What started as a socially distanced beer garden during covid quickly turned into one of Kirkwall's most loved bars. From DJs, live music, and theme nights to visiting us in all weathers - you have supported us through it all.

So this is a final thank you to all of our customers over the past five years - without you OTB wouldn't have been the success it was 💙

Love, Team Oot The Back ###
