Lauders claims it is the "Friendliest Pub in Inverness", and the H&WI branch would welcome that you test that assertion. Whilst it may have had a "dubious past" under previous PubCos, since 2014 Stonegate have turned Lauders round from the "boozer" reputation it had to a must visit "wet" pub. Inside, 10+ screens show sports in the high ceiling "L" shaped bar, which has a mixture of high and low table seating, and displays of painted kegs at high level. Situated on Church Street at the corner of Baron Taylor's Street, the pleasant (real) floral displays reflect the congenial atmosphere inside. No food other than "nibbles" available. Watch out for the revolving door (only one at a time please!) seems to run on greased bearings - easy to get in, but unlikely to be tested that hard on leaving - if you want to leave at all! [Update Oct 2024: report of no real ale and therefore no CAMRA discount scheme.]
