Highlander in Highland

Highlander has great food and various beers & drinks to choose from. We had the steak and ale pie and the cheese burger. We happened to get there as the guitarist singer was setting up and enjoyed him selection of Scottish, Irish, and American ballads. Big thumbs up!!

Great atmosphere .... great pub with great traditional music ... lots of artists every hour on stage .... perfect choice to start your night in Inverness ....

Very good pub in Inverness. In the evenings with live music. The atmosphere was very good, the food was typically Scottish and the service was very friendly. We had an unforgettable evening here.

What a fun time! Great little venue for some local live music!

Good place to have a drink and listen to typical live music. Good atmosphere. They let me in with my little son.

If you like live bands then Highlander is an excellent choice. Recommended. S

Mac and cheese with “local cheese sauce” was actually just a microwaved nuked bowl of pasta and not sauced cheese at the temperature of the sun. So hot the grease left the cheese and decided to make its own continent of oil amongst the pasta.

Brilliant atmosphere, great company thank you. Cheers 🍻 🍷🍸🍹🥂🥃

Best Bar 🍸 in Inverness. Great live music 🎶 🎵 Every night 🌙 👌

Live music, decent food, good prices on drinks. If you go early you won’t need a reservation.

I would not recommend the food here if you have any dietary restrictions. I mentioned to the staff that my wife is vegetarian prior to ordering. She ordered a veggie haggis. She was served a beef dish. I made this known to the staff and got the equivalent of an eye roll. They made a new, correct dish with a rather lackluster apology.

Lovely looking place and always great atmosphere an music mostly scottish themed

Very friendly staff, great live music on the Tuesday night.

Wonderful atmosphere with live music at night. We visited once early in the day for lunch and came back in the evening to listen to the music. I had the citrus salmon salad and it was delicious with two types of cold salmon. It was very good and the music was fun.

Don't order food if you go here; they are liable to get your order wrong. This is highly problematic if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. Live music is good, but stick to the beer if you go.

The live music was fabulous. Had drinks danced and good times were had by all.

Great beer, great service, and yummy snacks.

Good beers, good whiskey and live music. You can't ask for more.

Very nice local with fantastic live music, very good food and friendly staff.

Fantastic pub in a perfect central location! Great selection of beers, amazing environment and we absolutely loved the live Scottish traditional music!! We would definitely go again and I recommend it 100%!!!

Nice pub with live music to have a great time in Inverness.

Can't wait to come back!! Staff.. food and drinks!!! And the music... chef's kiss Thank you. I will be back!!!!

Good welcome. Good food. Good beer and good prices. Toilets were nice and clean too.

Good location. Music was decent. Large crowd. Great for a drink or two

Place is very crowded and there is ventilation which makes the temperature cold inside. Portions are smaller compared to other places we tried, but this place is worth it. Live music and the atmosphere is amazing, also the draft beer was excellent!

Very good food in a great atmosphere. You can hear super authentic Scottish music here. We liked it very much.

This a great and fun place. The drinks are good and they have some whisky flights. The food was exceptional. We had the hagis and was tasty. They also have live music at night.

Nice place, live music and they cook the best fish and chips in Inverness!

Wow, there's a Scottish vibe here. It's loud, but just right.

Fun times, festive lively atmosphere. Great live music. Went there every night we were in town.

Excellent live music, whiskey tasting.

Amazing place with amazing music. Such a fun time

We ate very good fish and chips.

Excellent ce haggis ! With an Inverness pala ale

They did not get meals correct,forgot meals and meals that never came. Music was good, food poor to average. Would not recommend for food

Super nice pub where you can also eat. Live music every day. We went 3 times, we liked it so much,

We went one evening and we loved it! Live music.

Fantastic place and the atmosphere was pumping. Loved the Scottish music and the food was delicious. Would definitely visit this place again.

Good food and drinks, great live concerts, nice service,

Nice place to drink well and have fun in Inverness

RACIST BAR MANAGER AND BAR STAFF! Unfair treatment for being a person of colour is never acceptable. For the last two decades I’ve lived in UK I have never been treated like this at a bar. I even lodged a complaint with the bar manager to be laughed at, the minute I turn around. For context we only had one pint from another bar when we got there so we were very far from drunk, never rude to anyone and all we wanted was to enjoy the live music and have a good time after our work trip. I was very calm and reasonable even when discussing my complaint with the bar manager. It’s horrible to be treated differently than everyone else around you when all you want to do is have a good time. Keep your racist thoughts to yourselves and at least act professionally.

Phenomenal pub ! Traditional music was amazing. Food was very fresh and well done. We actually ate here twice in our three day stay in Inverness because we had such a great time.

Incredible atmosphere and band. The food was also delicious, highly recommend if you want to have a fun night out in a pub with Scottish music!

The Highlander is a super nice pub in the middle of Inverness. This is exactly how I imagined a traditional pub in Scotland. The food was really very good and there is an exceptionally large selection of local beer and of course whiskey🙌. We particularly liked the live music (Scottish country music) in the pub. We can definitely recommend the pub.

It was comfortable, but very cold. After saying something several times, it still remained cold. Pressing a button is probably too difficult. People are all sitting there in their jackets. Very unfortunate.

Popped in whilst in town. Great atmosphere great service. Good choice of beers.

Awesome food ! Good Drinks ! and the music was fun !

Great musicians, delicious food, especially the wings. Recommended for a visit.

We arrive at 6 p.m., the waitress tells us there will be a 1 hour wait to eat. No worries, she takes our reservation and notes our name. We tell him that we are waiting while having a drink at the bar. After an hour and a half of waiting, we went back to see the waitress to get some news. She tells us that the meal service is over and that someone should have warned us. Indeed, it would have been good to warn us. We waited 1h30 for nothing and left without having eaten. The atmosphere was good that said.

Great atmosphere and nice people also have a great food.

We were here for lunch and ordered the national dish Häggis with Highlander Lager. Order and pay immediately at the counter. The food was very tasty. The portion was manageable. If you're really hungry, you should order a starter. The waiter was incredibly friendly.

Great atmosphere as soon as the typical Scottish live music plays, which was yesterday at around 6:15 p.m. today at 6:45 p.m. Then it becomes difficult to get a table. So come a little earlier, or from 7:45 p.m. Food pub typical, quite okay. Staff was very friendly. Good overview when allocating tables! I would go here again in a heartbeat, a real experience!

Truly enjoying our trip here in Scotland

Fantastic place Wonderful live music

Great authentic Scottish music!!

If you are passing through Inverness, it is a must to have a good time at the end of the day! The food is really good with a wide choice of drinks, but it's clearly when local bands play on a small dedicated stage that the magic happens in this pub. I have rarely seen such an atmosphere with a nice mix of local regulars and passing tourists (like me). The staff is adorable, I loved it so much that I left with merchandising sold on site. Go there at the end of the afternoon to be sure to be at the table, it fills up quickly during concerts. Little advice: if you have the opportunity to go there when Calum MacPhail is playing, you will enjoy the discovery.

Fine food, good drinks and all with live music. Perfect

Pub with good beers and good atmosphere

Good food, cool atmosphere and great songs in the background. As a downside, I would say that it goes down quickly, it is a little small and some dishes need more garnish. I will return without a doubt. Also, the waiters are very nice.

Beautiful pub in the heart of Inverness, where for 34 pounds we had a good lunch of goat's cheese salad, breaded fish fillet sandwich and two pints of local beer. The service is friendly and quick, the bathrooms are clean and well kept.

Good food, great service and authentic live music. Additionally, a well-mixed audience (locals/tourists)

Great atmosphere in this typically Scottish pub. Tasty food, too bad it was a little cold.

Highly recommended with live music

Had a great evening here with live music, food was ok, unfortunately the service was pretty slow

Great place to listen to live music from talented local artists while enjoying a lovely pint. Mixed crowd (touristy eventually), friendly environment, also a nice place to meet new people. Totally recommended!

You have a good time with live traditional music well animated by the singer. People of all nationalities gather in the place (except Scots)

My wife and I had a few beers: lager, IPA.. all local and we loved it! Good food too and at a fair price! As for the environment, the atmosphere is incredible! Scottish music.. we love it! And we recommend it! Amazing night!

Hearty and fresh dishes, very good beers and a perfect Scottish atmosphere

What an experience and the food was good. The atmosphere was great with live Scottish music. Be on time because it fills up quickly. Unfortunately, the burger had become a little too black, but they resolved this without any problem. Order yourself at the bar and they will bring it to you.

I love this place. Excellent live music. Good choice of drinks and superb atmosphere

Always guaranteed a great night of folk music, banter and drinks. Always a hit when I'm in Inverness.

Good beers and a nice atmosphere. Live music made it a fun experience, truly Scottish!

Lovely place good food amazing fish!

Well worth a stop! Live music was enjoyable. Menu is limited to the usual but everything that was ordered was delicious and came out fast. Good drinks selection. Great atmosphere. But getting a table to eat was chaos. Despite the reserved for dining between certain hours, this wasn’t the case.

A great shop. Scottish music, Scottish food, a great atmosphere. Highly recommended 👌🏼

Went in for a couple of drinks and ended up staying all night. The live music was absolutely fantastic and the atmosphere was great. Best night of my trip to Scotland! Hopefully I’ll be back.

We visited the place on a weekday afternoon. A few guests occupied a few tables. You had to order at the counter, but the waiter brought out the food and drinks. Scottish dishes were also on the menu in addition to other specialties. The quality and quantity of the food was excellent, and there were several local beers to choose from. The place is cozy, a real Scottish pub. Local music awaits the guests in the evening. The prices are acceptable. I recommend it to those who want authentic Scottish cuisine and food.

A cool pub with good music and great service even when it's full, it's fun to be here

Stopped in for lunch while walking around downtown Inverness. Great food, good service, friendly folks. No live music at lunchtime, but I bet it would be fun in the evening. I will definitely go back should I find myself in Inverness again.

It is nice upscale Bar . It has good space to accommodate people and good no .of sitting . It has nice music selection. And Live Music performances .

The food arrived a bit too fast and upon having the first spoonful it was lukewarm, really could have done with being warmed up a bit more.

Normaly I would Score a 5 because it is a very nice Pub . We went there Yesterday ordered a Pint each everything great so far ( enjoied it very much) 30 Minutes later the Pint was empty and we wanted another one . There we're two very young Girls behind the Bar ignoring us for the next 20 Minutes ( busy talking to eachother, doing something on the mobile Phone and so on) so we went. We know you place the Order at the Counter by the tab, that was exact the place we were sitting. But apart from that a very nice Place.

Such an enjoyable experience that I had to go two nights in a row. The entertainment was top notch.. first night was the bagpiper and second night more acoustic. Great bunch of people in there. Fantastic for people watching. A lot of good banter and dancing. Large selection of spirits and beers. Doesn’t feel very old but still feels like a good successful space. Door men were very nice as welll as bartenders.

ITA The pub with the peggior service in assoluto, since when they arrived in Scozia. Entriamo and ci mettiamo al banco per ordinare, come da consuetudine da queste parti. The banco has 3 bars: one of them has an inside col menu in hand, a front of the person on the table, the third corre su e giù come una trolley. Io aspetto e aspetto, nessuno mi considera, mi passano davanti 4 or 5 clients and io aspetto with the portafoglio in mano davanti all spine, guardando intensamente the barista (the ogni volta gira lo sguardo dall'altra parte). After 10 minutes (senza che il locale fosse pieno), the mandati a quel paese e ho preferito dare in miei soldi altrove. Veramente pessimi. If you have excellent cortesia and excellent service, you will be on the other side of the road. ENG The pub with the worst service ever since we arrived in Scotland. We enter and sit at the counter to order. Behind the counter there are 3 bartenders: one looks around with the menu in hand, one takes orders from the people in front of her, the third runs up and down like a top. I wait and wait, no one considers me, 4 or 5 customers pass in front of me and I wait with my wallet in hand in front of the taps, looking intensely at the barmaid (who every time turns her gaze away). After more than 10 minutes (without the place being full), I told them to go to hell and preferred to give my money elsewhere. Really bad. If you want courtesy and excellent service, just go across the street. EN The pub with the worst service since we arrived in Scotland. We enter and sit at the counter to order, as is customary here.

Bangers & Mash was fantastic and we happened to have dinner on a live music night. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Great bar great night out live music

High quality live traditional music, friendly and helpful waiters*, vast choice of spirits and soft drinks, welcoming and festive atmosphere.

A great pub! We had a great evening with live music. Absolutely recommended!

Great for solo travellers. Fantastic local beer range, buzzing atmosphere. Recommend the bay window spots!

Not friendly or welcoming don’t like outsiders

usual classic Scottish food, but great pub for live music

Characteristic Scottish pub with excellent dishes, excellent beer, fantastic whiskey tastings and great live music. Friendly and efficient staff Truly a great experience. If you go to Inverness I recommend you go to the Highlander!

Good atmosphere and the burgers were good.

It was so crowded and so loud we gave up trying to order food from the bar. It's a great place for atmosphere but hard to measure service when you have to order from the bar. Live music was good but brutally loud for a venue this size. Maybe next time.

Delicious food, fast service. This evening there is also great live music (with bagpipes, violin, guitar and singing)

Great discovery! We passed this bar and wanted to have dinner there the next day hearing the music inside. We went there without a reservation and were able to get a seat after a short wait at the bar. The staff is very friendly, the food is very good and the atmosphere is great with live music!

A very wonderful pub in the Heart of Inverness. The People are very friendly, the dinners are delicious and the whiskey taste to drink more. Thank you for four wonderful evening's. Best Wishes from Germany

Lovely place to visit would go back agai

Great pub with live music, fish & chips and the veggie burger were great. Huge bar

What an amazing place to meet people and listen to different types of music. Had a lot of fun!
