blackfriars highland pub in Highland

Truly the best experience!!! We stayed in a lovely room that was stocked with scrumptious snacks, had a cloud like bed, and the most amazing rain shower (I didn't want to get out). We had a Sunday Roast dinner downstairs in the pub area (so moody and lovely) and it was arguably the best meal I've ever had. The gravy....! Oh the gravy...! To top it off, Graham was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay and we couldn't have asked for a better person to connect with. 10 out of 10 recommend. Will absolutely come again.

We were a large group arriving near close, seated without fuss and served by Graham and his team - great food and would strongly recommend a visit if you're in the area

Excellent! The food is very very good and the attention of the girls is unbeatable!!! Highly recommended!

Not worth it! We went for lunch. It is overpriced with small portions. But the worst part is that the food is sub par. Too many other good places where the food is delicious and well priced.

Just went in for a pint of cider lovely decor

I am 64 years old and eaten out in a lot of places in that time. I have never had to wait as long as I did tonight for a meal. Obviously very inexperienced staff, although they did their best. We waited 1hour and forty five minutes for our food with very little explanation for the delay. When I eventually lost patience and asked if we were getting any food this evening the girl said she would ask the chef, I said we were told 20 minutes ago that the food was on its way, she replied that's what the chef told us to say. Never again.

We ate lunch at the Blackfriars Inverness. Lovely atmosphere, great fish, and chips. The drinks, both cocktails and beer, were fantastic. I believe the proprietor waited on us, and he was a delight.

I just went for a meal. Staff was friendly and approachable. Enjoyed my experience.

This review is for the Pub only. One of the few places with good food open on Sunday and for Lunch. Wait to be seated sign and had to get someone’s attention. Seated at a filthy table. Took another 5 minutes to get someone’s attention. Staff is nice enough but painfully slow. When we ordered our appetizer we had not chosen our main dish. Took another 5 minutes to find someone to take that order. Orders were delivered in a reasonable time. The food was good without exception and served hot. We began with Cullen Skink and my DW had Fish and Chips while I had the Smoked Haddock & Applewood Fishcakes. Then it was time for dessert. Nope, could not find a server anywhere. Finally the boss came out to do some paperwork so I intercepted him and asked for the check. Too bad as we really wanted to try the Cranachan.

We dined at the restaurant, and did not stay at the hotel. The staff was lovely, however we had to wait a long while for our food to arrive. The staff was apologetic about it, which we appreciated. They serve big portions and the food was good.

30 minutes to be served, without having been offered the dish of the day. Steak way overcooked, inedible!

The is a review for the Pub which should have a separate Google Listing. Great service friendly staff and the food is excellent. The steak sandwich with fried onions and the carrot coriander soup were amazing. Definitely worth having a meal while in Inverness.

Very nice pub with live music. We have only been to the restaurant with very good results!

Only went for drink. Good service

Stopped in for a drink didn't stay

Good selection of drinks, but felt it was a bit pricey

We were walking past on Friday evening and heard some nice sounding live jazz music so popped in. We were immediately greeted, shown to the bar and offered a choice of seats. The bar staff were friendly and helpful, and there was a wide selection of beers, wines and whiskys. This was our first visit since Blackfriars was remodelled and we were impressed with the layout and design, which is very comfortable and spacious, but still has character. The quartet (keys, bass, drums and sax) playing jazz standards really enhanced the pleasant ambience and at just the right volume so that it was still possible for those dining to talk quietly. Next time we will try the food too.

Wonderful place for lunch - the potato leek soup was especially delicious. Can’t go wrong with a pint of cold Tennent’s Lager, too. Our server, Niamh, was great and very efficient.

The food and the service was very good, Catriona did a very good job. We ate Fish n chips and were very happy with it. It was also very hygiënische

Catarina was very kind and helpful! We ordered the wrong plate, but it was not a problem for her to bring the right plate. She also gave a good sugestion to drink and tourist information. We had an amazing time!

Stopped in for soup and beer. Evie brought us delicious sweet potato and red pepper soup along with some Cullen skink. Marvelous! The bread they served was outstanding. Evie patiently pushed tables together for our party of 5

Jenny and Jess were great! Had the tomato soup and it was so delicious, plus the chocolate cake was amazing per Jess’s recommendation!

Did not stay there, only ate in the pub.

Super cute hotel in a great, walkable location. Our bed was so comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and clean. Breakfast in the morning was simple and delicious! Staff were all friendly.

Only dined in restaurant. No guest beers, which was disappointing. 5 in party and unfortunately non found the food exciting or anything above average. We respect the fact our tastes will differ from others but the steak pie toppings were anaemic. I’ve never had white puff pastry from an oven baked pie that I would have expected to be golden brown. Obviously some people like it here - but it’s not for us.

Very decent rooms with access via a narrow staircase above the bar. Well located.

We are not guests of the hotel but stopped in for an early evening meal. The dining room aesthetic was comfortable and the back ground music was pleasant but we had the most disappointing dining experience we’ve had since arriving in Scotland. The food was fresh and hot but the batter on the fish batter on the fish and chips was undercooked and served with regular rather than mushy peas. The pan fried salmon was well prepared but the paprika mash was just odd, in my opinion. I ordered a side salad which I never got and we were never asked if we wanted to order anything additional, including beverages. If the restaurant had been busy it would have been understandable but there were guests at only 3 other tables. We tried to get our server’s attention but a group of employees were more interested in chatting and my husband finally went over to them to pay.

We only ate here.. And the food and service was great.. Table was a little small for 4 people.. We would return to this location anytime..

Friendliest staff in whole Inverness, thank you for the great experience, nice girl in the glasses 🩷 food was amazing, huge portions loved it!

The hotel room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff kindly allowed us to store our bags before checkin so we could explore. We ate breakfast two mornings for a good price, and coffee was delicious and included. Location is great! Walking distance to everything made it super convenient. Another reviewer said it was loud in the room but we didn’t experience that at all—perhaps because we were up a couple floors? Our room was quite peaceful.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The restaurant downstairs is really good and there is little reason to eat somewhere else. The breakfast they have is amazing as well. The rooms are really cozy, but the floors are really squeaky. But the rooms are spaced enough, so that you won't hear your neighbors that loud. Overall amazing and would definitely come again

The interior design does not match such an old tenement house, there is no atmosphere.

Only visited the restaurant, food was great and had no issues. They were busy as hell so had to nudge them a bit here and there but again, no problems.

A real shame - local money has gone into renovating this place but not a single local beer on tap. Alright inside but if this place isn’t serious about being local I don’t want to go. mcgregors next door will sort you out would recommend there for a true highland experience

This review is solely about the restaurant. Unfortunately we did not get to try tbe food. We arrived at 6:20pm, and were told we would have to wait 20-30 minutes for food. we had our daughter who is one and a half, and this was fine for her. We tried to order but were told we had tk wait to 7 till order. At his point, all was still ok. They'd had a lot of people beforehand and having worked in catering, I understood. However at ten past 7, another waitress came and asked if we wanted anything else, to which we said we hadn't ordered. It would be ten minutes from ordering. She took our order. At 7:45, the food was still not here, and other people were eating that had arrived after us. After another 15 minutes of nothing, we left. Our daughter had been very patient but there was only so long we could wait. The staff were apologetic, but I think there could have been a lot more communication to avoid this happening. It was my father's one night away from home the whole year and it was sad that it ended like this.

I spent a couple of hours here together with my family and friends. We had coffee, juice, beer and a great time! I'm sorry we didn't book our stay in Inverness here. Maybe next time :)

Wouldn't recommend over priced mediocre pub food with a lack of atmosphere. Expected a lot looking at reviews and was sadly disappointed. They advertised showing the rugby but no atmosphere. We seen that they have live bands at times and we expected something on a Saturday night but sadly not. I ordered fish and chips and the fish was drenched in oil, was soggy due to the amount of oil still on it. My wife had chicken Fajitas, wraps were burnt and hidden under the unburnt one. The chicken we counted 6 small chicken strips (less than half a chicken breast) not enough for the price. Sour cream and guacamole was not fresh.

Great atmousphere, craking staff and lovely food, thanks folks 😁

A good hotel in the center of Inverness, the rooms are large and luxurious, the pub is full and the breakfast is delicious. Access is not easy when you are transported because parking is expensive and the lack of an elevator does not help with a baby or large suitcases.

Friendly staff but parking is a nightmare, the food was literally inedible and the noise above our room kept us up at night. Cute place but we won't be back.

My partner and I had a great time! We stayed at Blackfriars for just one night, the room was spacious, clean and very well furnished; we stopped for dinner and the food was also excellent and of good quality, we absolutely recommend it!

Really beautiful hotel and restaurant. The wings are really good.

Popped in for lunch, lovely food and good portions. Staff lovely.

Great location, nice rooms. I was planning to give 5 stars, but after having breakfast and get charged for something It was supposed to be included in the breakfast I changed my mind. When I realized about the "mistake" and I informed the guy in charge, he refunded us the extra money was charged (Thanks!), but he didnt say anything... Not even sorry It was a mistake. We planned to have dinner, but obviously cancelled...

Wonderful. Excellent service at the hotel and at the bar.

The location is excellent, right in the center of Invernes and close to everything. But I have to say that the hotel is wonderful. Super clean, great room service, great service. The staff are super polite and helpful. The rooms are well heated, comfortable and very cozy. I loved my stay there and I definitely plan to go back.

Golf trip and wanted a mid week dinner in Town. Selected Blackfriars from Tripadvisor and was not disappointed. There was a quiz night on that night (which we didn't know about) but we joined in and that was fun. New Owner could not have been more welcoming and attentive. A VERY acceptable wine list and good food. All in all a very acceptable dinner and will return when next in Inverness.

Went in on the Tuesday evening after eating elsewhere for drinks and watch the Scotland game. Started noticing the food leaving the kitchen for tables and had major food envy! so quickly grabbed a staff member to book for this evening. Neither my partner nor myself where disappointed the food was exceptional, the staff are very tentative without being to intense and if you enjoy cocktails they were also good and pretty fairly priced.

Recently refurbished to a great standard. We all enjoyed our meal. . Good portions and reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Went here for a meal with fantastic friends. What a meal!!! Absolutely fantastic!! Service was great, food was great! Such a brilliant experience and not rushed. Attentive staff with no over the top attention. Recommend 100%!!!

We stayed here on the final night after walking the Great Glen Way over the week. It was a fantastic stay-nice atmosphere, very welcoming staff, great food, lovely well appointed and spotlessly clean room. The hotel and eating establishment are pet friendly and couldn’t have been more welcoming. Excellent music playlist in the restaurant/bar area. It was a great way to end our walk and I would highly recommend a visit.

Came for a Drink stayed for dinner, Great drink and happy staff, made for a good meal and good laugh

I can only say how disappointed I am as soon as it’s in Blackfriars did sushi I was very excited as I am a massive sushi lover and I always like to try different places food as everywhere takes a different Interpretation on certain sushi is but this sushi I got here was very disappointing I personally do not feel like it can be call fresh sushi I can only compare it to prepackaged sushi you get I. the likes of supermarkets Personally I think save your money

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish!! Check in friendly & informative. Room was immaculate & perfect! Housekeeping lady was lovely.... Drinks in the bar was so nice & cozy. Loaded fries we will return for!! Breakfast waitress was really nice too. Cannot fault Blackfriars and we will definitely stay here again!

Find find find Blackfriars Hotel Inverness- lightly pickled beetroot, beautiful trout, squid ink crisps, horseradish snow & cream OMG main course perfect langustines - finish with amazingly good whisky menu don’t pass their door ! Also rooms & brekkies superb - the premises operators understand hospitality- great welcome, lovely room , all staff offering friendly and efficient service - only negative aspect breakfast coffee was dreadful

First time in after refurb etc. I was impressed! I'm a fussy bird, but I would definitely go back after this visit. They've done a great job of the refurbishment, friendly staff, clean, good food, fresh and plenty of it. Great service. Good job folks!

This small hotel was amazing from arrival to departure,the food was superb as was the staff we will return again thanks to billy and all his staff.

Had another meal here and would recommend for food and drinks. Definitely one of the best in Inverness. Not the cheapest place but I believe you get what you pay for.

What a place! The rooms are immaculately clean and the food is outstanding. Couldn’t praise the staff enough, especially Billy who was so personable. We loved it so much we extended our stay (something we have never done before). Thank you Blackfriars, we will hopefully return (and spread the word!).

The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was incredible. We felt incredibly safe covid-wise and never at any point felt hurried. 10/10 will recommend and can easily see myself eating here again.

Excellent food, good beer and great service. Nice relaxed atmosphere, 5 min walk from the station to catch the Caledonian sleeper.

Stayed here for an evening and the room was beautiful. The bed is big and everything was so clean! The shower was also amazing. Due to COVID restrictions we ate dinner at the restaurant and the food was great. The girl working couldn’t have been nicer and they even let us take a glass of wine up to our room to have with our cheeseboard which made the evening extra special. A continental breakfast was delivered to our room at our choice of time in the morning, there was plenty of selection and it set us up for the day! Wish we could’ve stayed longer and will definitely be back!

We stayed here one night on our way further north and wish we could have had more time here. Spotlessly clean, one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in and the bathroom was amazing - huge shower, really modern decor and a roll top bath. Breakfast was brought to our room and it was continental (came with the price) - it was fine if in with the room charge but the restaurant food was very good. We came back to the hotel a few days later on our way to the train, and had dinner. Really excellent. Had the cod rissotto, one of the nicest meals I have had in a long time. They've spent money making this place look good and it shows, the staff were friendly and I'd definitely come back here without a doubt.

Blackfriars es absolutamente encantador, el personal es fantástico y la comida deliciosa.Nos alojamos en una habitación familiar que tenía una habitación separada con literas, televisión, mesa y sillas para los niños. Nuestra habitación tenía una cama individual extra, así como la cama tamaño queen y ambas habitaciones eran muy espaciosas.Teníamos un desayuno continental en la habitación, que era fabuloso y nos convenía mucho mejor que sentarse en el restaurante.Cenamos en el hotel, que estaba delicioso, el personal fue genial con los niños y sus peticiones quisquillosas.Sinceramente, no me puedo quejar del lugar y definitivamente regresaré, gracias a Billy y su equipo.

Llamado por casualidad, y muy contento de haberlo hecho: personal encantador, ambiente muy agradable y el pescado más delicioso (con la mejor masa que he tenido en años) y papas fritas (con piel, suave en el medio y oh ... tan - sabroso). Buena llamada en un día triste, ¡volveremos! Gracias.

Un poco caro para comida de pub, pero la comida es realmente deliciosa y el personal es encantador y servicial, así que realmente vale la pena visitar este lugar y, a pesar de mi comentario de apertura, no romperá el banco. Los precios de los bares son muy competitivos y también hay una muy buena selección de vinos.

Stopped here on our first and last night evening of NC500 and they were the most accommodating place we have been. The food was amazing and the whiskey advisory’s were the best! Had the beef cheek and it was incredible. Highly recommend

First pub visit of 2020. Had to sign in but not an issues- staff were friendly, table service was quick and several decent beers on tap. Doesn't have the choice the old Blackfriars has, but the new decor is far more appealing.

Lovely cocktails and friendly staff! We came here twice during our trip to Inverness would absolutely recommend

We fell upon this restaurant when were were having trouble getting into other places, and we're so glad we did! The maitre d' was very accommodating, even though we didn't have a reservation, and from the first moment the service was friendly and competent. What really blew us away was the excellent and sophisticated cooking. We had the ham hock terrine and venison tartare as starters; both were delicious and elegant. For the main, we both had the melt-in-your-mouth beef cheeks served on a bed of tasty mash. We split the cheese board for "dessert" and could hardly believe they were all locally produced. All-in-all, a wonderful and surprising find that we would happily visit again if we ever return to Inverness.

We were staying at inn but decided to have dinner as well. I had the hake risotto my fiancé had confit duck leg both were really excellent. Restaurant felt fresh and trendy, staff were attentive and friendly.We had read some reviews on this place which said food was good and i can validate this as well!

Great place- decor, service, drinks and food. My wife said that her bramble cocktail was the best she'd had. South African guy serving us was also very helpful. Uber clean as well.

Ate at the restaurant with a friend. The place was very clean - certainly covid secure. The food was sensational. We ordered the mussels as a starter - the cream sauce was beautiful. You must order the lingoustines - they were incredible and the potatoes were also lovely. Service from Billie was great too - highly recommend this place!

A lovely visit with very helpful staff. Billy was extremely helpful and accommodating will definitely visit again.

Popped in for a drink during our 1 night in Inverness after it was recommended to us well all I can say is it was NOT friendly we were not made to feel welcome albeit the place was half empty no manners we did not have food had 1 drink and left

Visited here on the second of our two nights in Inverness for a drink as I had seen from other reviews that it was dog friendly. Double checked before we entered if we could bring the dog in and he was welcomed with open arms - lots of fussing over him, a water bowl provided before we'd even sat down, and some tasty treats were even brought out from the kitchen for him! We were pleasantly surprised by the nice interior decor and enjoyed a couple of drinks. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the cocktail I had was nice as well as reasonably priced compared to the options in some other bars. Had we been staying for longer we definitely would have returned here to try the food!

We dined for lunch during August, I noticed on their social media pages they had a new chef with a exciting looking menu so we gave it a try.We were not disappointed, fantastic food beautifully presented and now one of our favorite places to dine in Inverness, we will be recommending it to family and friends.The dinner menu also looked great and they obviously have a very capable chef at the helm with lots of interesting ideas!! (Something Inverness is in desperate need of.)Thank you and well done to the new kitchen team!My only criticism is there was no background music playing during lunch - we arrived just after 12pm so not sure if they forgot or maybe aren't allowed during covid to have background music? But the restaurant was a bit quiet. I'd imagine later in the day the atmosphere would be better. Nothing major though. Great service!

We ate at Blackfriars the other night,I had a burger that was priced at £12,which isn't alot,I mean I know some places try to promote fine dining,but come on,a burger,and not a very large one in a roll stacked which was hard and ,I swear 4 chips,is just ridiculous,sweets that were priced at £9-50 for a tiny bit of cheesecake.

This hotel would’ve been ok as the room was clean and comfy but the fact we were not told about half the hotel being closed before we travelled was a disgrace, restaurant was closed as was pub, which meant we had to go looking for food which was difficult as everywhere was booked up ☹️ And just to mention we were charged the full price. Won’t return here

We arrived in Inverness late and looked for somewhere to eat that was listed on the “Eat Out to Help Out” scheme. Chose this one because it was closest to our hotel. Found an absolute jewel of a venue.The maître d' was on top of his game, but also communicating with the bar & waiting staff - no detail was lost. The food and service belong in a venue the next price bracket up, but that would make this place up itself, and it isn’t. We were charmed, seduced even, into having an evening meal that fitted a perfect day in Scotland.Don’t ignore the starters. Actually, have all of them. And for the mains, go for the langoustines. We opted for a liquid pudding so I can’t comment on that part of the menu, but can say that a 15-year-old Dalmore and the undisturbed privacy of a table after a meal is a rare treat.For a random find, this place hit top marks in every category. It’s just a shame it’s 7 hours drive from home.

We stayed at this amazing place with our two dogs, The room we stayed in was lovely and decorated to a high standard. All the staff went out of there way to to make our stay a very pleasant one. Our dogs loved all the attention they receive. Breakfast was lovely delivered to our room every morning. I can’t recommend the Blackfriars enough. We will definitely be back. Thanks James , Murray And pups.

Walked by and was surprised by the great looks of the interior. We were treated great by all of the staff and the food was great! No simple pubfood but just a nice little menu and the dishes were great. Hats off to the chef!

Had a delicious lunch here at a reasonable price. Cocktails were amazing and the staff very attentive. Would highly recommend - in my top 3 of places to eat/drink.

Lovely time away from home. Billy the owner/manager is the perfect host. Stayed here for 4 nights , first trip into the highlands . A very clean double room- 202 . Fantastic shower after a long day walking . Covid restrictions prevented a lot of services , but Billy organised in house dinner on 2 nights for us , was perfect. The breakfast served to the room was more than generous, plenty to make sandwich lunch for the walks as well. The rooms facing the main road can be loud for light sleepers . Over all a most pleasant stay and experience . Will return

Incredible hotel. The room was stylish, super clean, comfortable and just lovely. The location was perfect, downtown Inverness. The room is over a pub so when it is open it is very convenient for food/drink. Due to COVID, there were restrictions that prevented the normal opening hours. This place is a gem. The bathroom was great and had a large shower which I loved. Special little things made the stay perfect - full length mirror in the bathroom, teapot, wall mounted soap, extra comfie duvet and it is close to a Starbucks. Veggie breakfast was great too! Would highly recommend. We stayed in Room 203.

We booked this last minute to get away for a few days. We got a really warm welcome and shown to a wonderful room on the second floor. It was spacious and had everything you could need. The decor was very modern, lovely bathroom and spotlessly clean. Although there is no view we enjoyed sitting at the window in the peace and quiet. We had breakfast delivered to the room and couldn’t fault. The staff are so friendly and hope that they continue to thrive through this unusual times.

We booked the Blackfriars & we weren't disappointed. Harley our dog was fussed over, the staff are very friendly & helpful, the chef's food is excellent & very tasty.Our room was bright & well decorated & the bed was super comfortable. Definitely highly recommended The Blackfriars.

We arrived at the restaurant and it took a long time for someone to see and seat us as the restaurant was very busy and seemed disorganised. We ordered a nice drink in this time. When we were seated we were told we couldn’t order cocktails at table only wine and beer which was inconvenient. They seemed to be under staffed and service was pretty slow. The set menu we had for Valentine’s Day was £55 per couple but the steak was tough and chewy, the rest of the food was okay but seemed over cooked and of poor quality which was a shame. However the espresso martinis were delicious!

We arranged to meet up with old friends in here for a few drinks and a trip down memory lane. Blackfriars had been closed for around two years but re-opened a few months ago. The place has had a major upgrade and is now a much more modern establishment which also has 9 rooms as well as the redesigned bar/restaurant. Cannot comment on food as we only had drinks but staff were friendly and service was good. We would visit again when next in Inverness.

I've been here for both drinks and to stay in one of the rooms, having taken part in the first Thursday quiz night they held, and more recently staying in the lovely room 101 for a night out in Inverness.The place is beautiful, and has been refurbished to a high standard, right down to the glasses your drinks are served in. The room we stayed in was also beautiful, and had a wonderful roll top bath in the huge bathroom. Do expect a few quirks from the old building though, the floors were sloping in some places, but it does add to the character!On both occasions we met the manager, and he's very welcoming and seems keen to take on board feedback. It's a very new business and I appreciate that the team will still be settling in and finding their feet, and there have been a few wee niggles on both occasions we were in there, but the manager is working to improve things.I did find the booking options quite confusing, as nowhere (direct, booking.com etc) could I see what I was booking. The rooms all have different names, but when it come to booking you are just booking for instance a Deluxe Double Room, which is quite a generic term. I had speciafically wanted to book room 101, "Blackfriars", as it looked so special.Certainly go in and give the place a chance. Enjoy a drink, they even serve non-alcoholic Hineken which isn't half bad and gives some choice to the designated driver. If anything isn't spot on, let the manager know. It's lovely to see such an old building, and former dive bar, receiving such a makeover.

We booked to stay in the family room on the second floor for one night in February. Check in was quick and easily completed in the bar and we were handed the keys to our room. The place has just been extensively refurbished and we couldn't fault our room at all, clean, spacious, comfortable beds and lovely bedding and great shower. We ate downstairs in the restaurant on the Saturday night and the hosts could not have been more accommodating, giving us a huge booth table even though it was just me my husband and my three year old as it was more practical with the little one on a busy Saturday night. Breakfast was included and was great - a good choice and a nice start to the day. Our flight home was cancelled so we booked back in for a second night at very short notice and the room had been cleaned and was perfect again on arrival. We will be back for sure.

We went here on Friday night and had a meal which was fantastic and the music that was on was really good. We also went here on the Saturday for a drink and the band that was on was really good and played all types of music

...bár úgy ajánlotta a taxisofőr, hogy hozzátette, hogy ő még nem volt a felújítás óta. Na én voltam! És aznap este ezt tettem meg kedvenc helyemmé! (Igaz, másnap találtam még jobbat)Emlékszem, nagyon finom levest kaptam és sok odafigyelést - az is igaz persze, hogy gyakorlatilag egyedüli vendég voltam az étteremben :DEzúton is köszönöm a vendéglátást!

Bellissimo pub, molto gentili. Abbiamo provato i piatti del giorno compreso il dessert. Molto buoni, caldi, abbondanti. Visto per due £40

I went with a group of friends and had a pleasant evening. There was an excellent fiddler who played a range of music. The bar has recently re-opened after a refurbishment.

Haven’t been in since the refurbishment so decided to try here. Went in for some dinner food was average, we finished and asked for dessert menus but told we couldn’t have any as the kitchen was closed. We wouldn’t have minded if we had been told this at the start of our meal and would have just ordered everything at once. Due to the lack of communication and feeling as though we were being pushed out we decided not to stay for drinks. The decor is absolutely beautiful but unfortunately we won’t be back, there’s plenty of option when it comes to food and drink in Inverness and this one unfortunately won’t be our first choice.

Had another great visit to this bar.We took my dad for lunch and drinks for his birthday, we had a lovely lunch nice selection of drinks too.The man ownerci think played happy birthday on his bagpipes to my dad when he was playing them for a group that was in for burns lunch, what a locely touch my dad was delighted.Staff all very nice, my husband was talking to the toung lady behind the bar who discussed whiskies with him , very knowledgeable helpful young lady.We enjoyed the balvennie and the loch ness gin.Thank you all very much for makibg our visit most enjoyeable.Lorraine x

Nice decor, good beer, good food, but I'd advise the owners to be careful with the selection of music. Traditional music is good , and Irish trad OK (Scottish is better in Scotland though surely, unless you're trying to be an Irish BAR), but Irish republican/anti British songs would put off many people, regardless of their point of view. The selection we heard included some of these and a friend also commented to me that they'd heard some of these on another visit. Maybe best to check first?

Great place. Rooms are perfect. Beds comfy, ski TV, hot powerful showers. Great host. Brilliant value.

With a new refurb and a good interior I was very much looking forward to my first visit to Blackfriars however left quite disappointed.
