About Us
Experience the Magic of Hootananny’s
For over two decades, Hootananny has been the beating heart of Scotland’s vibrant grassroots music scene. Established 20 years ago, our venue has become a cherished platform for both emerging and established artists, hosting iconic performances by Mumford and Sons, Sam Fender, Jake Bugg, Russell Crowe, Dougie MacLean, and Skerryvore, among others. As a family-run business, we’re proud recipients of Scotland’s Best Live Music Venue award in 2019, a testament to our commitment to exceptional live music experiences and community spirit.
Recognised as Inverness’s Best Pub of the Year for eight consecutive years by the Inverness City Advertiser, we are dedicated to providing top-notch hospitality and serving as a dynamic social hub. At Hootananny, we believe in the transformative power of live music to unite people, create lasting memories, and support artistic expression. Join us in celebrating Scotland’s musical heritage and enjoy a memorable experience at our venue, where the magic of live music continues to thrive.
