Nicely situated between the flat and the town centre, it's nice to stop in for a drink on the way into town for dinner. Or to stay there for dinner as the food is really good too. An Inverness classic, popular with the locals who have more refined taste!

Irish bar with a Scottish spirit. Along with Hootananny, probably the most popular bar in Inverness, with a nightclub section attached. Inverness isn't great for nightlife to be honest, but this is probably where it's at!
