Revolution
11-19 Church St, Inverness IV1 1DZ
Revolution is a cocktail bar which opened its doors on Friday 22 December 2017 and is the latest of a growing chain comprising of about 80 venues across the UK. Previously a departmental store which has been unoccupied for at least three years. The downstairs is a labyrinth of seating areas, two of which have bars and can accommodate about 100 diners offering tables for 2 to 20, with loads more seating at the bars. Do not be put off by the minimalist look of the walls and ceilings, stripped back to the old brickwork which sets it apart and is an attraction of the venue. Upstairs there is a second bar with loads more seating including three "horseshoe" sofas which can seat 8 mates on a night out. The upstairs, with its own DJ booth and dance floor, can also be used for private parties. Although a wide selection of drinks are available, Revolution specialises in the "trendy" cocktails, including a selection of gins and vodkas, however it is popular with the whole age spectrum, 18 - 80+. Note the rest rooms are downstairs from street level, and there are a few steps up to the ones on the first floor. The local CAMRA branch are doing their very best to get at least one hand-pump in offering a real ale, but interesting bottled beer is available which may, or may not be RAIB (real ale in a bottle)
Three Witches
Aginish Drive, Inverness IV2 6ET
When it opened in early 2018 The Three Witches pub had four hand pumps on. Marston's have decided that none of their 21 pubs in Scotland will have real ale and sadly the hand pumps have been removed. However, you can still get two of the "keg" versions of their real ale. Speaking to the Manager, David, the BAR normally stays open until 11pm, however food is only available between 11am and 10pm (9pm in the winter) with a choice of three meats along with a vegetarian option, and "pub grub" favourites such as fish & chips and lasagna, and of course childrens meals. Located next to ASDA on the Inverness ring road. Please be advised, may close early if there are no customers.
Glen Mhor Hotel (Nicky Tams)
8-15 Ness Bank, Inverness IV2 4SG
An attractive riverside hotel that is adjoined by a former baker's stable, which mean locals can still refer to the place as Nicky Tams. The cosy lounge bar is close to both Inverness Castle and Eden Court theatre making the restaurant and bistro, which have extensive menus, popular for pre-theatre diners. Beware of Tuesday nights if you want a comfy seat as the live Jazz (9-11) is very popular! Summer trade normally means another hand pump is in service. Its sister hotel is The Boat in Boat of Garten.
WoodWinters
Bow Court, 74 Church Street, Inverness IV1 1HB
It is easy to miss this little off licence tucked away behind a columned walkway. Although specialising in wine and whisky, there is a good selection of "interesting" bottled and bottled conditioned beers just inside the door, and is worth a look.
Number 27
27 Castle Street, Inverness IV2 3DU
Alongside the four handpumps, this popular city centre bar/restaurant offers a large bottled and keg range including continental brews and bottled ales.

The single hand pump was replaced by fonts, however, a good selection of bottled Cairngorm beer is still avaialble, albeit not Real Ale in a Bottle (RAIB) The very comfortable lounge area offers dramatic views over the river Ness and the mountains to the west. The Arts Bar is a convenient meeting point in Inverenss, and only a short distance from the bus and train stations.
