Hootananny: live music venue with soundproofed rooms above the pub in Inverness city centre
Rooms Above the Live-Music Pub
Hootananny has rooms directly above its live-music pub, including Superior King Rooms, Deluxe King Rooms, and Superior Double Rooms. The soundproofed rooms keep the live music from reaching the guest floors. Each room has a private bathroom, and room options include city or river views.
Dining and Live Entertainment
Hootananny's bar and restaurant host live music performances every night, with local artists playing traditional Scottish music. Hootananny's restaurant serves dinner, and dinner reservations are recommended during busy weekends. Guests can book a table when reserving a room, and the pub also offers a selection of drinks on draught.

Guest Experience
Hootananny's rooms sit directly above the live-music pub, so guests can go downstairs for a performance and return to a quiet room.

“It's remarkable how thoughtfully the newly renovated rooms have been executed, presenting a surprising, high-quality finish that feels truly contemporary. The energy from the live music downstairs is palpable, yet the rooms manage to remain a peaceful retreat, a testament to their quietude and comfort. This establishment certainly understands how to marry convenience with a vibrant, engaging atmosphere, making it a standout choice in the heart of the city.”
