CAFES, BARS & CLUBS
An
award-winning
pub
with character to match,
Hootananny is at the heart of
Inverness’s live music scene.
From folk to rock, music can
be heard emanating from the
characterful nightspot most
days of the week. The music
starts on Mondays, with
sporadic gigs through the
week, but Friday night is when
Hootananny cranks things up
a notch. From ceilidh to cover
bands, the tunes come thick
and fast, with the pub crammed
to capacity. Squeeze your way
to the bar, fill your glass and
join in the merriment. The bar
serves traditional Scottish
food that’s accomplished yet
unpretentious. Its popular
lunchtime sessions allow
diners to linger over their meal
while a soundtrack of live
Scottish music sets the mood.
A good range of ales and
craft beers adds to the bar’s
unique charm, but ultimately
it’s the music that drives
Invernessians here in their
droves. The city is proud of its
musical heritage, and many of
its local artists have cut their
teeth on Hootananny’s well-
trodden stage. When night falls
and the bar fills with the rise
and fall of chatter, Hootananny
assumes an intimate aura.
