The food is excellent for pub fare; it's traditional and packed with flavor, offering a great variety of options. The dessert was even more impressive—I enjoyed the cheesecake, which was absolutely delightful.

The pub is divided into two areas: the Sports Bar, which includes a pool table, darts, a jukebox, and a quiz machine, and the lounge bar, which hosts various events like quiz nights, karaoke, and poker tournaments. While the regular crowd tends to be older, there is a decent mix of younger patrons from the nearby Hilton and Drakies neighborhoods who often start their nights here. In the lounge bar, you'll find a restaurant with a tasty menu offered at reasonable prices. The Thursday night poker tournaments attract even more guests, adding to the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

The beer is reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is fantastic (I haven't run into any troublemakers, so perhaps I've just been lucky). The pub food is surprisingly good for what you’d expect. I’d say this is the best pub in Inverness for watching football, even though other venues might have more screens or be larger.
