Bucking Fastard left this review about The King's Highway (JD Wetherspoon)
A large functional 'spoons with a seperate hotel entrance,you enter into a long selection of high tables with the bar midway on the right side.To the left beyond the dividing wall is the area for dining style tables,with a front snug below a large exterior plate glass window,while towards the rear and some large banquettes in blue.Despite the strong tourist nature of the city,the ale pricing here is modest and CAMRA tokens are only taken on Thursday- Sundays when dynamic pricing puts up the stickers price a bit.We used it every day for breakfast and for at least one ale per day during our three day stay.
The ale selection will always have the Trip of Doom but the guests tend to be either Highland brews or decent English real ales from respected brewers so generally you will get a better range of ale options than in virtually any other pub in Inverness hence the 2026 GBG entry is more than justified.
Over our trip we sampled pints of Thornbridge Jaipur (NBSS 3.5,NBSS 3 and NBSS 3.5 ) and Cairngorm Highland IPA (NBSS 3.5 and 4 ) on sussesive days.I would certainly return.

A typically spacious Wetherspoon's establishment with bouncers on the door for our Friday evening visit.
It was the usual bland Wetherspoon's interior with its normal clientele for a weekend evening.
Greene King Abbot & Sharp's Doom Bar were available, as you'd expect. Caledonian Deuchars IPA is also a regular beer. Guests were Elgood's Greyhound & Blackberry Porter, Daleside Old Legover & Adnams Old Ale. In addition, there was also a real cider, which seems quite rare for Scottish pubs - Weston's Old Rosie.
I used a CAMRA voucher to order a pint of the Blackberry Porter and despite only paying £1.49 for the pint, soon wish I hadn't. The sour taste was a little offputting and I couldn't work out whether the beer was genuinely sour or whether it was off. I concluded it was the latter, but still can't be 100% certain.
You know what to expect from a Wetherspoon's - bland interior, a noisy atmosphere, cheap drinks, Abbot, Doom Bar, cheap food. All of those boxes can be ticked here.
