About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
Our style is industrial prohibition with a splash of steampunk thrown in for good measure. Find us on Queensgate and enjoy craft beers, vintage cocktails & some incredible comfort food!

Let us transport you to the speak-easy world of 1920's Chicago. Where the streets were ruled by unrelenting gangsters, and the drinks were inspired by the minds of geniuses. Scotch & Rye is our homage to the hard working, harder drinking people of that era, delivering our signature New York & Chicago inspired burgers and home-cookin', all washed down with great craft brews, unique (and award-winning) cocktail creations and a service team with an unmatched personality! We are also a dog-friendly bar! All well-behaved dogs are most welcome at Scotch & Rye.

Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult and vacate the premises by 10 pm.*
*Table with under 18s must book in for a meal and all be eating.

We look forward to hosting your safe, enjoyable dining & drinking experience.

    I had a bad experience here this time. The kitchen mixed up our orders and I got a normal burger instead of a gluten free one. I have been unwell as a result. Such a shame as our previous visits have been great

    Booked a table for food/drinks to celebrate a 21st. The service was great. So was the food. They presented the cake we brought along with sparklers without be asked

    Absolutely amazing food, and wonderful staff! The environment is fun and energetic, but still able to have quiet conversations with those sitting around you. This is my third trip here over 2 years and I will definitely be coming back in the future!

    Been in Inverness for a week and ended up here 4 times, first night for a drink and other 3 for food. The Sunday Roast Burrito with Tater Tots is amazing and I’d thoroughly recommend it. The buttermilk chicken used on their dishes is amazing. Cheese and bacon dirty fries are incredible! The Pink Panther cocktail is truly delicious! The ambience is really nice and the staff really helpful. On our last night there I had the Katsu Chicken burger which was my least favourite. The Katsu flavour was destroyed by an overwhelming amount of pickled red onions which made the whole thing very wet and unmanageable to eat unfortunately. I would suggest that a full blown Katsu sauce used to intensify the Katsu flavour, as opposed to Katsu mayo and the red onion is removed. Other than that an amazing place hence maximum scores overall!!

    Thank you for your fantastic review Rebeca, were glad you enjoyed your visit, we shall take notes on the Katsu!!!!!
