Hootananny Inverness

Hootananny Inverness is a pub and live music venue right in the heart of Inverness and dogs are welcome inside. Whether you're stopping for a pint after a riverside walk or killing time before a train, you can bring your dog in for drinks and food while live music hums in the background.

The pub opens evenings only—Sunday to Thursday from 5pm until midnight, Friday from 5pm until 3am and Saturday from 4pm until 3am—so it's a proper late-night option when most other spots have shut. Food is served alongside drinks in the dog-friendly indoor area, meaning the whole group can settle in for the evening without splitting up.

It's hard to beat for location: less than a quarter-mile from the centre and ideal after a wander along the River Ness. No parking is confirmed on site, but the central position makes it easy to reach on foot or by a quick taxi with a damp spaniel in tow.
