We had just driven from Keswick and needed to find a good place to get a hearty dinner. We came…read moreacross Benleva only a short distance from our hotel. Dinner starts at 5pm and even though we showed up early, they let us order. It was excellent. Clean, football on the TV, great selection of beer, excellent service and great menu selection. After a couple of Guinness and a very good meal, we were able to relax and enjoy our evening. Can't say enough about our bartender, would go back in an instant. The only thing I would do differently is stay at their hotel also, have a few more Guinness & shot some pool!

Pros: - warm atmosphere…read more- free parking - casual clothing - TV to watch sporting events - indoor and outdoor seating - live music starting at 9:30pm - moderately priced food, amazing whiskey selection from all regions of Scotland - Scottish and local foods on menu - This is perfect to escape from the rain, especially if you're looking for a down to earth and easy vibe atmosphere Room for improvement: - falafel burger is very dry, a nice spread on it would be an easy fix! Tip: the peanut butter and chocolate lava cake was so WARM and comes with a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream! SO. GOOD.

Lots of flavors to pull out of this dish, with the chowder, Cod and Smoked Haddock. Just amazing. My wife had the chicken salad which she enjoyed. I had the malt of the day which was a great choice. Atmosphere: we did not have reservations so we popped in and put our names on the list and went back to our hotel since it was raining and there really isn't much waiting room inside. But the place has a great bar and decorations, mostly of bottles of whiskeys. Service: excellent service. Tip: if you can get a reservation, but if the weathers nice there are tables outside.

His passion, talent, and story telling is unmatched! The roast dinner was delicious and the cocktails were so fun! They take great care with the details around the pub, giving nods to history while pushing forward progress within the re-adoption of traditional Scottish music. Come for a drink or a meal, and stay for the vibes, history, and immense talent on stage.

Re: Delicious Sticky Toffee Pudding…read more To the Greek couple we met in Inverness, with great apologies, we suffered confusion of which delicious desserts we had at various restaurants around the city, inadvertently directing you towards a place that did not serve sticky toffee pudding. We should have pointed you towards MacGregor's as having the most delicious sticky toffee pudding, now verified after having several others that did not perfectly balance sweet with salt as that of the sticky toffee pudding at MacGregor's. If the pub is full, please find your way to the end of the bar and the small door to the left that takes you to the cosy table service room where Jess and other wait staff, including little Nala, will take the best care of you. We also highly recommend the steak & ale pie and fish & chips, should you require something a bit more than the sticky toffee pudding. Again, apologies, and we are certain you will have a fantastic experience at MacGregor's!

They have Pub Trivia in Tuesdays at 8:30 PM (well, maybe more like 9 PM). It's £1 per person to play, and the questions are 1) British-centric, and 2) difficult, but it's fun and worth the price of participating. A great place for a drink or a meal.

We had out host's dogs with us so we sat in the side room with its separate bar. Plenty of on tap offerings and I went with the local amber ale.

Plenty of different types of fish and condiments along with some crackers and bread. A much more filling lunch than I expected but very good nonetheless. Staff was very friendly and the decor is classic pub decor. I'd be a regular here if I lived close by.
