   Had a great time listening to music and enjoying some dinner and drinks. Busy on Thursday night and saw many without reservations turned away. I was so glad I took recommendations and made them months in advance.

   2eme soir dans ce pub, même table sans vue sur le groupe live, impossible de changer de table. Serveuse pas aimable, pressée de nous servir pour que l'on libère la table, aucun effort pour nous comprendre. Très déçus. Dommage.

   The meal was great and the Sticky Toffee Pudding was magnificent. Also make sure you go on a Monday or Tuesday to hear the great local group Calum Macphail.

   I looked so forward to this place but it didn’t live up to my expectation, unfortunately. The fish and chips tasted like old oil. Curry soup was good. I had to search for server. My husbands small seam if whisky was picked up and taken before he was finished snd she was gone with it before we noticed.

   Superbe ambiance hier soir lors de notre soirée à Hootananny! Réservation online facile, personnel très aimable et hyper efficace malgré le monde. Très bien placé à l'étage (merci à la serveuse), nous avons profité de notre repas ( bon repas typique d'un pub, et bonne bière😋) tout en profitant de la scène et de la musique live. J'ai particulièrement apprécié Louden Mackay, qui a mis le feu au pub🤩

   GO HERE. I’m always skeptical of reviews. No idea why. Maybe my Mapquest youth? Trust me when I say this is where you want to be any day of the week for dinner. Incredible local Scottish music. Lively yet warm atmosphere. Incredible food (steak pie and chicken balmoral). Quick and welcoming service. What else could you want?

   What a fabulous place! Glad we reserved 8 pm table because we saw the last of the trad session and the electric jam of the 9 pm band. Food and music were both great!

   If you’re in Inverness and like great food and music you have to eat here! We weren’t sure what to expect music wise but the young lad who was on whilst we were there was terrific. The staff are lovely and the food and beer was the best we’d had all week. This is a popular venue so make sure you book a table if you don’t want to be waiting around for one to come free. I’d definitely recommend Hootenanny and will be back if we’re ever in Inverness again.

    We had a great time at Hootananny listening to music and enjoying great traditional food. Reservations are a must! We watched many people get turned away.
