Glenalbyn Bar, Inverness

The Glenalbyn as per the review below has been on this site since the 17th century. One of the signs on the wall shows "We are the oldest hostelry on the west side of the river". There is no real ale available. The lagers include Maltsmiths, Fosters & Heineken, beer is John Smiths and their available stout is Guinness. Pleasant enough pub and the nearest on this side of the river for the town centre.

Situated beside Ness Bridge over the river, there has been a pub of this name on this site since the 17th century, although the present building dates from the 1950s. It’s a traditional style Scottish pub, with a separate bar and lounge, although they are divided only by a wood and glass panel with a wide opening leading through from one section to the other. A pool table, unusually, is located in the lounge area and the walls of both are decorated with pictures of well known Scottish sights. My pint of McEwan’s 70 Shilling cost me £3.00 and John Smith’s bitter, Caledonian 80 Shilling Ale, Guinness, Strongbow cider and Amstel, Fosters and Heineken lagers are also available on draught.
