Johnny Foxes in Highland

I am man of colour. I walked in here with my girlfriend after a long day of travelling. We had been hill walking (Ben Macdui) so I was wearing cargo trousers and a hoodie. I had put this on as my other clothes were soaked through. As we approached a bouncer (rather large and with glasses) shook his head. He asked me to lift my hoodie up to show him I had a belt on, then told me to find somewhere else to go. He then mentioned we don’t appreciate ‘your kind of clothes in here’. Make that what you will. I have given 3 stars as the place is normally great, but you need to sack this bouncer. He’s a lonely bully.

A fantastic experience! The service was lightning-fast and extremely attentive, which made our visit so pleasant. The food was an absolute highlight – incredibly delicious and prepared with great attention to detail. A place we will definitely visit again. Highly recommended!

Terrible I went in with my friends went and asked the dj for a karaoke song he said no problem then waited for about 20 minutes asked if I was just called was told not I said no problem then 10 minutes later a bouncer told me I was to leave I said why he said I was harassing the dj which I wasn’t! I left and went back and asked for a manager she basically said I don’t want to upset the dj which ruined my night terrible service! I would really like an answer to what went on but she said you will be ok tomorrow but my night was already ruined!

Great food, good beers, friendly service, Scottish patience with us Germans when ordering, simply perfect

Great food great service great bar great music great location...just great!!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Jonny Foxes! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of energy — the perfect spot for a relaxed evening out. The place has a great vibe, with a cozy interior and just the right level of background music to keep things lively without being too loud. We started with both the plain garlic bread and the cheesy garlic bread — hands down, some of the best we've ever had. Freshly baked, packed with flavor, and just the right amount of crisp. For mains, we had the Margherita pizza, which was super cheesy and satisfying, and the salmon fillet, which was beautifully cooked and absolutely mouth-watering. To top it off, we shared a slice of cheesecake for dessert, and it was divine — rich, creamy, and just sweet enough to finish the meal on a high note. A special shoutout to the staff as well — they were friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Service was quick and smooth, and everyone we interacted with had a smile and great energy. Highly recommend Jonny Foxes if you're looking for amazing food, a great atmosphere, and wonderful service. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely pub in Inverness The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the food very much and we liked that the whisky menu is divided into the different regions of Scotland

Fab Came here with my son for lunch except for the bill I had thought it was bit expensive as my son had the chilli burger with chips & 2 lagers & I had 2 wines & chicken with haggis mash potatoes carrots just didn't understand how it came to 94quid. Was never that high before. Anyway apart from this food, service was great & j.foxes is a great place to be at & I'd highly recommend it to all my family & friends. As it was a Saturday maybe book it as it can get busy later esp after 5pm. Best place

Excellent restaurant ! C'est très chaleureux et la musique est sympa. Le personnel est agréable et disponible. Nous nous sommes régalés !

We go here every time we come to Inverness and the food never disappoints. Food here is very good and very reasonably priced considering the location.

Food is basic pub food, no frills. Steak pie was just ok (couple of bits of meat were chewy), "seasonal veg" was a pile of peas. There are better places to eat in Inverness for the same price. However, staff were really helpful and friendly though and live music is good.

Nice gaff: efficient bar staff, interesting decor and local bands. Decent night out. Reasonable prices accounting for the aforementioned. Just try not to let the bouncers ruin your night who quite literally swarm this place like SWAT 😂 After spending most of the night with one practically breathing down my neck & seeing one on a stool peeping over a board, you'd be forgiven for thinking you're in a drug den in Croydon. No idea if this is a normal occurrence here. Also, there was a lass getting in everyone's face trying to engage them into spending more who was quite blatantly on the books, officially or unofficially. Nice try.

Cool location. Good music, good food, nice types of beer and wonderful service. We felt super comfortable.

Good pub with live music and good beers

A bit of a disappointment tonight. I ordered the margarita pizza, onion rings, and a pint. The food came out promptly and the onion rings were very good. But the pizza was definitely not a margarita pizza. Everywhere I’ve ever ordered a margarita pizza it’s been fresh mozzarella with fresh basil. Just counted sourdough crust tasted more like a Bisquick crust, the sauce on the pizza tasted like tomato soup, and it was basically a cheese pizza. I politely brought this up to the waitress and was informed that “ oh yes, our pizza is a cheese pizza” … clearly not what was mentioned on their menu. I ate two pieces of the pizza, but it was so bland and tasteless I couldn’t eat any anymore. I did bring this up to the waitress at the time and I was also clearly charged for the pizza I did not eat. She was very polite though. Just disappointed they didn’t do better for customer service.

Nice pub, wide range of whisky and crafted beers. The food is excellent. You should definitely visit this pub during your stay in Inverness.

Amazing pub! We went here almost every day during our 6-days stay in Inverness. Many options to eat, food very delicious, in general sizes, staff very friendly and helpfull every time, good vibes and the tables outside are spot on to stay when it's sunny (although they are also suited for staying in the evening for a drink, due to the warming lamps that really do the trick).

Best bar ever with live music, free entry

Good vibes, good food, friendly staff

Absolutely fantastic food service and atmosphere 👌 loved this place. From entering we was made welcome waitress was foreign and so helpful. Place was mobbed I can see why. Definitely be returning again when in Inverness

Lovely staff, had late night drinks here. Live music good place to let your hair down. Also visited Sunday early evening staff again great and a nice vibe

Fuimos al pub a cenar cuando estábamos en Inverness, fue una experiencia encantadora. Maravilloso pub, muy buena comida excelente cerveza y whisky y precio muy honesto 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I had the salmon crostini which was one of the best starters I've had. The Nessie burger was very nice too although the bun did not seem to be toasted and it was soggy on a small part of the edge. The chips were fantastic.

Went there Feb the food is really good. Great choice of beers whisky realy nice friendly place rlaxed. The staff great would go again. Has kareokie one night live music other nightsjim

Great little find on the banks of the Ness.....fantastic atmosphere and service.

I was disgusted with the behaviour of the bouncers. Letting people in that where clearly very drunk, them denying people in that were more than capable to continuing the night safely. The attitude from the bouncers were absolutely shocking! This causes people to become defencive, cases more issues and arguments. Always seem to be the same with foxes! If the face fits!

Typical Scottish pub along the River Ness which offers excellent food, in my opinion one of the best also for quality/price ratio, served by friendly and welcoming staff. Highly recommended.

Group of 4, food well cooked and served by a really friendly professional member of staff

乘过年假期来英国旅游，途径苏格兰因弗内斯，酒店附近搜到这家餐馆。西海岸青口贝很新鲜，奶香四溢，野生蘑菇烩饭很好吃，菜品量很大，两大一小完全吃到饱。推荐来这里旅游的小伙伴尝试一下。

Had drinks here and loved the atmosphere and service! Alcohol is quite reasonably priced and you get a generous serving size. We were lucky enough to get a table, however, if you want a table for a group, I suggest coming early

Ate here on probably the busiest night in December. Staff welcoming and food great. Genuinely dog friendly.

We were looking forward to the experience here with what we read online , but unfortunately it was really disappointing. I’d recommend calling ahead to see if the kitchen is open, as while the kitchen website says 2am, the kitchen closed shortly before 9pm. Which I can understand because there wasn’t much of a crowd. But might have changed our plans so not to be so rushed. The food was mediocre at best. The waitress seemed annoyed with us, thinking about what we wanted to eat. Next, I had ordered the risotto, and it really didn’t taste good, something was off. When she came by to ask how the dinner was, I mentioned it didn’t seem so fresh, and she was defensive. And when she returned to tell me that the chef, manager and her all tasted the meal and said it was delicious, and seemed bothered. She did remove the meal from the bill, but was short and curt to tell me the kitchen was closed. I wasn’t intending to order anything else, but her attitude was just unnecessary. She didn’t stop by our table anymore and send who I am assume was the manager, who was delightful, to close out our bill. We only had one night here in Iverson and were excited to try a local eatery. I wished we he’d gone somewhere else. Live music doesn’t start until 9:30, we didn’t feel welcome so we headed out.

Great food and service, highly recommended. Good selection of drinks and a nice place to eat and watch the river flow past.

In a group and in need of decent food while socialising then Johnny Foxes is great. Everyone starts, ends up here and it's pretty decent. Food was surprisingly good and decent portions. Table service made eating and drinking too easy

Very friendly staff. Brilliant choice of beers and lagers. Our food was nice and hot. I had the chilli burger, and my wife had a cheese and onion flan, which was served within 5 minutes from ordering

The best nightclub from Inverness!

We went here on a Sunday, and it was pleasantly quiet. Service was quick and very pleasant.

Really nice place. The food was delicious, (though I had only the soup of the day tbh). Then I asked a Whisky, it was the first time I tried the water of life hehe. I loved their Whisky menu with the map of the five regions of distilleries in Scotland. I chose Loch Lomond 12yo, really good.

The food was good , clean and friendly staff

Having been in Inverness many times and visited lots of pubs and always loved them. Tonight we ventured here for the first time and were met with extremely rude staff. Actually I am in disbelief as to how rude they were. Never experienced anything like it. And yes i have to admit I was rude in return but I was fuming . Avoid! Loads of better and more friendly places. Having just had the reply I expected from you I would urge you to take some time to read more negative reviews and you will see most are about rude staff. Zero people skills. Your staff member caused the whole situation with her manner which wasn't necessary.

We didn't eat hence the fact I didn't rate the food! Atmosphere was fabulous especially for a Thursday evening!

They’ll show racism and not allow the people other than Scottish.. if you fight for your rights then you’re out

Lovely pub meal at Johnny Foxes. We shared the mussels as a starter which was a giant portion and very delicious with sweet chilli and cream. Would highly recommend visiting.

Beth was an amazing waitress definitely want to come again! I ordered the chicken ceaser salad and it was beautiful crunchy lettuce with a beautiful sauce over...to die for! If you come here definitely ask for beth, she's the sweetest funniest waitress I've ever had!! Love this place 100% recommend.

Beth is absolutely top class made my night with all the friendly and funny patter 😂😂 the food also live up to the first expectation and high standards. I had the ribe eye steak and was perfect, I personally would recommend the place to anyone visiting the area without a doubt!!!!!!

Delightful staff beautiful food 😊

Fun bar to stop for a drink. Good prices, nice staff

Enjoyed a night using the function room, open late, great food and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Good food, and good selection. Cozy restaurant with decorated walls. Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere.

We were only here during pub times and didn't eat anything, very nice atmosphere and every evening there is a program from 9:30 p.m. For us this was karaoke on the first day and live music on the second day, both very good and very organized. Is worth a visit!

Bar person great , made to feel welcome

Great food and friendly service. We all enjoyed our food and would highly recommend if visiting the area and looking for a relaxed friendly atmosphere with good food.

Surprise yourself with the food! Exquisite local flavors. Good atmosphere. Good background music with terrace and views of the River Ness.

It's a pub and as such we can't be surprised because the food wasn't of high quality. The pub has a typical pub atomosphere and for those who like it, like me, it's fantastic. The food is average and the service is very friendly and functional. It is not an extraordinary or refined dinner; But it is a place where you can socialize, have fun and eat at the same time.

Great atmosphere and excellent vibe 🍺🍷🍻

Gutes Essen in stimmiger Location. Es ist von der Lage sicher nicht an der besten Stelle, aber das Essen und die Atmosphäre sind einfach gut. 4 Sterne locker..

The Shawns are AMAZING The food was excellent and the atmosphere perfect- highly recommend

Johny Foxes, Inverness, yes, excellent! I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Irish Pub, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional, with the hostess, bartender, waiter, and waitress all working seamlessly together as a team. It felt like they genuinely enjoyed creating a great experience for their guests. The food was delicious, with authentic flavors and generous portions that really hit the spot. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, exactly what you’d hope for in a traditional Irish pub, and the cleanliness of the space added to the comfort. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food, drinks, and friendly service. I will definitely be returning!

Friendly staff and the food was delicious.

A wonderful local place to spend nicely time with friends and have a Scottish dance.

Nice pub to visit and good food👍👌

Although the place was very busy the staff went out of their way to find us a seat whilst we waited for a table (they even brought chairs out from a back room) The food was excellent and the service continued to be of the highest quality and friendliness throughout the evening.

Nice pub in Inverness, scotland

Typical Scottish pub on the banks of the Ness. Great selection of beers and whiskies. The typical food is also very good, generous portions and prices adequate for both quality and quantity.

Das Essen war unglaublich lecker. Bester Burger den ich seit langem gegessen habe. Die Gastfreundschaft ist auf sehr hohem Niveau und total auf Augenhöhe. Das Pub Feeling, perfektes Essen, toller Service. Was will man mehr

Great food .friendly staff.lovey atmosphere will be back next year again

We were so lucky to find this on our first night in Inverness. Busy Saturday night but they squeezed us in and great food and great staff and service. The next night we looked around for something better! Couldn’t find it so came back to Johnny Foxes! Don’t fix what ain’t broke! I’d go again and again etc🤣

Great restaurant/bar with friendly waiters and very tasty food. The food came very quickly. Service was great. Prices are even cheaper than in Germany. Plus the great location. Clear recommendation!

Good place for food, drinks and live music in the evening.

We to Johnny Foxe's yesterday to celebrate my partner's 70th birthday. What a good choice. Such lovely staff, good beer and superb meal, couldn't ask for more. Thank you so much. Would recommend.

Good steak n kidney pie with pastry

We got a tip from an American to try the Haggis & Neep Spring Rolls here. So, we went there for dinner. Almost all the tables were reserved, but the waiter, who greeted us very kindly, showed us to a table. The pub offers a good selection of various dishes, so everyone should find something they like. The waitstaff do their job cheerfully, and our drinks and food arrived quickly. The food is delicious; the recommended Spring Rolls and the "Foxes Steak & Guinness Pie" and "Foxes Chilli Burger" were top-notch. The atmosphere is cozy, even though the place is quite large and quickly filled up during our meal. Overall, highly recommended, for a good meal and a beer.

I can’t rate on food as I didn’t actually eat there, but as a visitor to Inverness over two weeks I kept finding myself coming back to Johnnys. The staff there are incredible, especially the doormen. Karaoke on Wednesdays was a blast. Next time I’m across the pond, I’m definitely stopping back in.

Absolutely loved our food. We had a bit of a wait so they came to fetch us at the bar. The Hostess was incredible - never once lost her patience with anyone despite being a busy night. The food was also incredible - haven't been so happy about a meal in ages. Now, one thing - there was a £2.50 charge to split a tiny little £7.50 slice of cheesecake which we were not made aware of and I happened to see on our bill. We'd already had a drink each waiting to be seated, starters and mains - I don't find it particularly appropriate to eke out an additional £2.50 from us if you're not even making the portion a bit bigger just because I wanted a bite of my partner's cheesecake. Doesn't cost £2.50 to wash a spoon. At the very least it would be kind to make folks aware they'll be charged. I won't knock down the rating for £2.50, though. The food was incredible and so was the service of both our hostess and our bartender. No complaints about wait staff either, they were run off their feet. Thanks for a great experience, and hope the feedback is helpful. Edit: we've been informed a split is a drink (essentially)! It's great to have this clarity, but as I recall having settled our drinks at the bar I believe this may have been added mistakenly, leading to our assumption that it was from splitting the dessert. No harm done, like I said above, it's £2.50 - and it's good to know what that really was!

We entered this place by chance, but as soon as we entered we were immediately won over by the good atmosphere. We were well received, and always well attended to by the Staff, who were 5*. Food was tasty, well prepared. We ate the Aberdeen Burger with Angus, drank a local beer and also ordered one of the children's menus, the chicken one. All very good. To finish, we ordered an espresso... And here was the only negative point. It looked like coffee from a coffee maker. But other than that, everything else was worth it.

So far only enjoyed beer outside. Cozy. Good mood.

Visited this bar many times when in Inverness. Always lively and good fun BUT huge negative here. The Zero tolerance drugs policy is a complete and utter joke. We were in on a Sunday evening and the male toilets was not a nice experience. Said to a bouncer about what was going on and off he went but how this wasn't noticed before hand is inexplicable the only reason can be that it was deliberately being ignored. Felt intimidated in the toilets and promptly left after speaking to bouncer. Shame as this really is a good bar but so much more needs done to make customers feel safe and comfortable.

This was my 3rd time visiting here in the last 3 years in a row, food never fails, reasonably priced, staff friendly and would you look at the picture, this is the road out of where I live! Ireland I adore Scotland .. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I had such a wonderful time eating at this pub while on vacation to the Scotland. The food was good and the selection of beer was local favorites. The services was friendly and timely, I would definitely visit Johnny Foxes again.

Very cozy pub right on the water. The food was very tasty and there is a typical atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I particularly like the little niches by the window where you can have something to yourself

Quaint pub with very attentive and friendly service and good food, worth a visit!

We had to wait some 30 minutes to be seated, but it was worth it. I liked the Cullen Skink.

Food, atmosphere, place, service, music, emblematic place in Inverness (Scotland) not to be missed.

Good place for socialising, live music, good atmosphere.

Had the nicest waitress and the food was great. Unbeatable atmosphere and very lovely decor.

Not a bad place for a quick diner. Nice view, well situated. Price ok

The food is very well prepared and is of quality and fresh products.

A nice mix of pub and restaurant. Very kind staff, clean, good beer and food. Menue of Whiskeys with explanation for beginners.

I was visiting there with my sister and we really felt very comfortable :) we ate a burger which was really good and the soup of the day was also great! The condition was very accommodating and friendly! Gladly again, greetings from Germany🙏🏻

Is there any other place to end a night in Inverness? Always great music and a great atmosphere!

Very tasty food, the burgers are highly recommended. Very nice service and a relaxed, rustic, beautiful interior. The restaurant is highly recommended. The restaurant is also very well priced. For 2 people only paid about 56 pounds each for starter and starter. Gladly again.

Very generous portions, even from the kids' menu. Lovely and accommodating staff.

Very cozy and super friendly service, nothing was too much for them, top notch

Inviting happy ambiance from the first hello to the last! The staff is stellar. We engaged with 3 different servers and all were fun. The food and drink excellent. Genuine customer service! We'll be back.

This is a popular place. Has both inside and outside seating. So outside was nice and relaxed to sip on beers. But even munching snacks and finger food wasn’t allowed in outside sitting. This server lady was rude, not just once but twice. She could have talked politely too but she was very arrogant in answering. We wanted to have dinner but because of her, we chose not to. It just feels overall in Scotland hospitality is not the first priority in restaurant business.

Friendly staff, great food, and decent price's. A good choice of music too.The waitress me and my friend had today was fantastic! I believe her name was Ebby or Isla, a must stop by if you are in Inverness! Will be back again.

Exactly what you would expect in every way (food, whiskeys, service, atmosphere, etc.).

Very cool ! Live music.... A pub...
