-> InvernessNightlife and entertainment
The liveliest nightlife in Inverness revolves around the pubs. The far end of Academy Street has a cluster of good pubs; the public bar of the Phoenix is the most original town-centre place, though Blackfriars across the street has a bit more going for it with entertainment seven nights a week, including ceilidhs popular with Australian backpackers searching for their roots. The local folk music scene, always lively and authentic, is still recovering from the closure of the widely respected Balnain House. There are normally gigs happening somewhere in Inverness during the week, and particularly at weekends: look out for local adverts or check with the tourist office to find out what's going on.
