MacCallums, Inverness

Bucking Fastard left this review about MacCallums

We had to visit this bar as one of the crew shares the surname although in his case with the Irish Mc spelling.A traditional exterior,a one room bar like a scene from Rab C Nesbitt with a motley collection of older scottish drinkers,one with a pony tail long enough to wipe his arse.A maingy ,slobbering dog and regulars pertched on bar stools completed the line up.However the welcome was friendly from the barmaid.However there was an overwhelming smell of disinfectant,I think rather too many urinal cubes had been added to the bowls in expectation of heavy use by the regulars,who seemed well installed by our 11am entry.We sat at the long bench seat on the left wall,decorations were largely absent.
No cask ale,the keg selection was boring so we sufficed with halves of Guinness and Red Stripe.Even the whisky selection looked standard..Musicians will play here and there is a tiny booth area to the right,maybe once a mixing desk but these days where someone with a guitar or pipe could get a sing song going.
No need to visit,the smell hastened our departure .
