Real Ale, Real Food, Real Pub!

The tantalising aroma of freshly prepared hot food and the sound of friendly banter emanating from its terraced beer garden are certain to be the first signs that greet you when you visit Inverness City's well known tavern by the Castle. This is a favourite haunt for discerning visitors and locals who appreciate a well run hostelry.

Along with the serving of fine food and drink, the tavern is characterised by an essential aspect that some establishments the world over can often lack - atmosphere. The Castle Tavern has a tangible, heartening, social buzz, which is more than stimulated by the friendly disposition of its staff.

Positioned opposite the Castle entrance, and ideally situated for convenient access to the city centre just minutes away, as well as being an ideal meeting place for events such as The Inverness Tattoo or The Highland Games. Its also the ideal place to begin or end your walk along the 79 mile long Great Glen Way.

Many thanks to Castle Tavern for supplying the images on this listing.
