Ness & Thistle
On the station concorse, Station Square just off Academy St, Inverness IV1 1LE
Ness & Thistle does not serve real ale currently but as a licensed premise in the Highlands & Western Isles Branch Area is included for completeness. Although the facade is "austere" and in keeping with the stations corporate decor, once inside it is warm and cozy. If you are waiting for a train, or waiting for a passenger arriving on one, it is certainly handy for the station!
Gunsmiths Bar
30 Union Street, Inverness IV1 1PX
In a recent turn of events, Gunsmiths is back to being Gunsmiths Bar! Formerly Gunsmiths which closed its doors at the end of October 2016, Spirit Level opened at the end of March 2017 and keeps the same internal layout of a long bar at entrance level with standing room and bar stools, a balcony with tables looking down on the bar, and a lower level with comfy seating. With the DJ console on the balcony, Karaoke remains the major draw for not just the younger pub goer, but all who enjoy a good night out! Gunsmiths is also marketing itself as offering 30+ Gins, single malts and cocktails. The branch was advised that Gunsmiths Bar stopped doing RA on 15 October 2018. Times confirmed as 11 to 1am every day, and the intention is to offer food in the near future. Note disabled access to bar, but toilets are downstairs. However staff are happy to help! No web / email, but Facebook only. 29/4/17
Rose Street Foundry
97 Academy Street, Inverness IV1 1LU
After many months of being hidden behind scaffolding and protective sheeting surrounding 96 Academy Street – known formerly as the Rose Street Foundry and AI Welders building - restoration works on an 19th century building in Inverness is now complete and on 14 March 2020 the Cairngorm Rose Street Foundry opened its doors. Everyone is tight lipped about the cost, but those walking into the ground floor up the three steps to the bar will be impressed, and confirm the wait has all been worthwhile. The doors from Academy street takes you to more of a club with comfy leather chesterfield's seductively luring you to be seated - all day! To the left, there is the more rustic "Bothy" with its high stools and wall tables. The bar is three steps up from the entrance level with its up cycled tin roofing, offers the range of Cairngorm's regular beers via up to six handpumps, and a host of their font beers from Cairngorm, and other local / regional breweries and ciders via bespoke "font arches" which take the form of industrial piping. Rose Street Foundry will also showcase real ales from other local breweries representing the best, of the best of the Highland region. So, that is the ground floor! Upstairs are the kitchens and a separate room for meetings, but is mainly for dining, is accessible by a spiral staircase and also a lift for wheelchairs and those not too steady on their pins.

Platform 8
38-40 Academy Street, Inverness IV1 1JT
Platform 8 has morphed from The Exchange and now has real ale again! on four handpumps! Before it was a bar, it was a bank, before that a school! The large safe at the back of this high-ceilinged pub reminds you that the pub was once a branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland. As a Belhaven / Greene King pub, beers from both sources feature, but also "non tie" such as Orkney and Spey Valley. Situated between the railway station and bus station on Academy Street. Why Platform 8? It is a nod to its near neighbour, Inverness railway station which (currently) has seven platforms! Please note that although open from 8am, alcohol cannot be served before 10am.
