Rose Street Foundry, Inverness (Foundry)

*** Highlands & Western Isles pub opening and food service times currently vary nearly on a day-to-day basis, mostly dependent on establishments' access to bar and waiting staff. Hence you will almost certainly see different times than those published here. Please DO NOT send updates to either opening or food service times, as trying to hit a moving target is a waste of our very limited resources. Instead, overall opening and restaurant times will be updated at the next full survey. Your understanding is appreciated. We welcome notifications of 'dog friendliness' however four legs good, two legs better. As you might imagine for a website called WhatPub, the main aim is to highlight the quality of ales. Thus, please include an assessment of a pub's beer(s) when you notify us of its cynophile status! ***.

[Update 12 Mar 2025: Closed, awaiting new tenants.]

The Rose Street Foundry is owned by the Cairngorm Brewery but is independently tenanted by two Inverness businessmen.

The doors from Academy street take you to more of a club with comfy leather Chesterfields seductively luring you to be seated - all day!

To the left, there is the more rustic "Bothy" with its high stools and wall tables.

The bar is three steps up from the entrance level and with its upcycled tin roofing, may offer a range of real ales on three hand pumps, and other local / regional craft beers and ciders via bespoke 'font arches' which take the form of industrial piping.

That does it for the ground floor...

Upstairs are the kitchens and a separate room for meetings, but this floor is mainly for dining and is accessible by a spiral staircase or a lift for wheelchairs and those not too steady on their pins.
