Gellions Bar

Gellions Bar is a traditional Bridge Street pub right in the heart of Inverness and dogs are welcome inside. Long opening hours (11am to 1am most nights, till 3am Friday and Saturday) and a central spot make it a handy stop when you're both ready to settle in with a pint and your under-table supervisor can stay firmly on duty.

Known for live music and a lively local atmosphere, Gellions suits dog owners who want a proper pub rather than a polished gastropub. The focus is on drink rather than dining, so it's one for a quick round or a longer session while your dog keeps tabs on the footfall from beneath the table.

CAMRA marks Gellions as dog-friendly and the pub's straightforward layout means you can duck in off the street without fuss. If you're walking the city centre with the dog and need a break that doesn't involve sitting outside, this is a reliable, friendly option.
