Picture this. You’re touring Inverness with your furry companion and only one thing is going through your mind – where to stop by for a foodie pitstop.
Luckily for you, the city is full of hospitality venues that not only serve a line-up of tasty dishes and refreshing drinks, but they’re also dog-friendly.
Whether you’re keen to soak up the sun or shelter yourself from an outpour, here is a list of my top recommended dog-friendly restaurants, bars and cafes to visit whilst in Inverness.
Scotch & Rye
Scotch & Rye is the perfect place for meeting friends for a coffee and catch-up, a lazy lunch, a bite after work, or something a little more indulgent. Oh, and for stopping by with your dog, of course.
Tuck into everything from burgers and hot dogs to great craft brews, and unique (and award-winning) cocktail creations.
Address: 21 Queensgate, Inverness, IV1 1DF
Heathmount Hotel
Heathmount Hotel is a dog-friendly venue that allows your four-legged friends to join you in the back bar or heated terrace. If you were to ask us, we would recommend the terrace area.
Its focus is on providing stylish surroundings, day and night, with an abundance of great food and drink, both sourced from local suppliers and independent breweries.
Address: Kingsmills Road, Inverness, IV2 3JU
Black Isle Bar & Rooms
Black Isle Bar & Rooms has two great bars in the Highlands – one in downtown central Inverness and the other at the west end of Fort William.
Both serve the brand’s own craft beers, as well as a line-up of others from around the UK to complement the freshest, homemade wood-fired pizzas.
They also boast a great atmosphere for not only you to enjoy but your furry friend too.
Address: 68 Church Street, Inverness, IV1 1EN
The Snow Goose
Another popular Inverness establishment that welcomes four-legged friends – and has water and treats available to ensure they’re as comfortable as you are during your visit – is The Snow Goose.
Dogs are allowed in the pub’s bar area as this is the most friendly environment for the pair of you to feel relaxed, safe and happy throughout your stay.
Address: Stonyfield, Inverness, IV2 7PA
Wild Pancakes
Do you love fluffy pancakes? Well, Wild Pancakes will be the venue for you.
The dog-friendly Inverness cafe has a following of more than 7,500 on Facebook alone, which would come as no surprise to anyone that has tried one (or multiple) of the menu items.
Address: 17 Inglis Street, Inverness IV1 1HN
