A charming and very traditional village pub with a low ceiling and a nesting of rooms,and a useful bus stop right outside.You enter into the tap room with the small counter to the right,and two sports flatscreen and large fruit machine.There is a green banquette below one screen,a bench seat with small stools and a chalk board list of pub grub options,small snacks also available.
Heading towards to beer garden,there is a snug room looking unused but with two darts boards,while the rear lounge has fitted bench seating,more sports screens and more dartsboards,although you would have to shift furniture to play them.This then leads to a paved beer garden with fine views of the Caledeonian Canal sea lock and the Beauly Firth beyond.A single track railway funs below the beer garden.
The welcome was friendly and the ale choice on my visit was TT Landlord and Fyne Jarl (NBSS 4) with a third ale still settling and "coming soon",a sign I hate to see .So a GBG 2026 entry but just two ales on a Thursday afternoon but the traditional vibe and fine setting make this pub well worth the visit.

Excellent service there when I visited it with friends on 11 September 2025. If you check the pub’s website & Google, the address is 17-19 High Street, Clachnaharry, Inverness IV3. Please change the address above once you’ve checked. Still waiting for my photos to be published.

I fully agree with Will's comment below that standards have slipped here since the landlord of that time moved down to the Castle Tavern. I gather there may have been another change of landlord since then, but I have not seen an improvement. This 18th Century roadside inn has wonderful views from its patio across the Beuly Firth, and it is architecturally very quaint. Previous CAMRA awards were well deserved, but in the last 5 or six years it has gone downhill. The food is pretty awful and is overpriced. The tv was really annoying and completely wrecked the atmosphere. The staff were not welcoming. The beer was good,however - 4 ales on, I had the Kelburn Red which was really quite good. I will continue to come here out of optimism as it was excellent once and could be again.
