Reviewed By Rantinrover

Centrally located, just along from the popular Hootananny pub, this bar has an open plan style and a very large selection of their own and other beers.Not having tried any of their brews before I asked the barman for advice and once he had narrowed down the options he was happy to provide small tasters of three different ones for me to try. The pint I selected was very good.The crowd at the time of our visit was mostly male dominated and there were plenty of pizzas being delivered to the tables to soak up the beer however the atmosphere was pleasant enough and my wife felt quite comfortable having her G&T.Looks like it would be a good place for a drink and a blether... and a pizza if you're peckish.Hi there,Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I'm really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your visit to us. It's great to hear that you found the atmosphere to be so pleasant, and I'm happy that our bar staff managed to help you find a delicious pint.We hope that you will come back to visit us, and maybe try the pizzas too.All the best,Cat

Reviewed By Lindatee

We were in Inverness on a Monday night and it seemed that a lot of restaurants were closed.We crossed one of the pedestrian bridges over the river and found McBain's.What a lovely stylish place. We were early so we were able to enjoy the pre theatre menu - two courses but you can add a dessert. The food was fabulous and the staff were excellent.The menu was great value even if you miss the 'earlybird'.Suitable for couples, friends,solo but probably not for young children.'

Reviewed By William-Angela

Service was a bit hit and miss the day we went in but not altogether shambolic - I guess being next to the bus station they get a high turnover of customers and some want away quickly. Ordered the pastrami, gherkin sandwich expected a ‘reuben’ style but was a bit let down by the pastrami, gherkin and cheese ‘toastie’. The soup bowls are really big portions so careful ordering more on top of soup unless going for a combo. Lesson of the day - if it’s not a Reuben on the menu, it’s not a Reuben on the plate. My bad.....

The Star Inn

Reviewed By DennisLHopkins1

After a long 30-hour day of travel, and evening arrival, our B&B host recommended Star Inn. Simply superb! Wife had very substantial Veggie Tart Salad. Never had something so good and unique. I had macaroni bake. Great portion size, all homemade, glorious on a cool night. Located about 7 miles from Inverness airport. Get off beaten path and try this pub/restaurant. Reasonable prices, great service and food! Located in town of Ardersier.

Went to celebrate my fathers 80th today...I ordered the roast leg of lamb with mushrooms and rice.Oh my!! What appeared on my plate was so similar in looks and taste to a microwave mushy meal...the rice was full of the mushroom liquid and the mushrooms were overlooked and rubbery. There was plenty of them...probably to compensate for the tasteless lamb...disgraceful.

On our most recent visit to Inverness in October 2019 we were able to enjoy having dinner twice in this magnificent restaurant. The service again was superb and all the meals were just wonderful. On the two nights, a Monday and a Wednesday, the restaurant was forced to hang a sign in the door stating “we are full”, primarily of local Inverness residents, and therefore could not take any more reservations. If this is not a recommendation for excellence, we can’t think of a better one.

Popular cafe in the heart of inverness. We focus on speciality coffee, breakfast and brunch, using nothing but the highest quality ingredients. We use the stunning Victoria Arduino Black Eagle alongside some unforgettable coffee roasted by Square Mile.

Reviewed By SVTillman

Been quite a few times but only for coffee (and occasional cake) both are delicious, and they even do oatley for those who don't take dairy. The food always looks good so will need to come back one day for a lunch, based on the reviews I won't be disappointed. Great location, in town centre, yards from train station. A must!
