Platform 8, Inverness

You want to visit - You have this in
Operator: Belhaven (Greene King)
38-40 Academy Street, Inverness, IV1 1JT (View on Google Map)
Real ale discount scheme

Platform 8 has morphed from The Exchange and now has real ale again on three hand pumps.

Before it was a bar, it was a bank, before that a school.

The large safe at the back of this high-ceilinged pub reminds you that the pub was once a branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

As a Belhaven / Greene King pub, beers from both sources feature, but also "non tie" such as Orkney and Spey Valley.

Situated between the railway station and bus station on Academy Street.

Why Platform 8? It is a nod to its near neighbour, Inverness railway station which (currently) has seven platforms!

Please note that although open from 8am, alcohol cannot be served before 10am.

[Update 21 Apr 2024: Hand pumps reduced from four to three. Only two on for the quiet season, currently serving house beer 'Platform 8' and GK's Hopping Special Amber. The pub confirms that all three HPs should be on for summer.]
