Very tasty pizza and beer and friendly staff. The secret garden area upstairs was nice in the mini sheds. But it can be quite busy even on a weeknight. We got a half and half pizza and enjoyed both halves. read more

As our forefathers said - pizza is life is pizza. (I may be paraphrasing, and possibly made that up...) We love good pizza, and even on a trip where we're focusing on local cuisine, if good pizza is available, we're willing to forego a meal of local culture to put it in our mouths. Black Isle Bar is located on Church Street, in the main couple of blocks stretch of bars and restaurants in the heart of Inverness. After a day out exploring Speyside whiskies, it was exactly what we needed for dinner. You order at the counter and find a table where they will deliver your food. The pizza menu has a handful of good vegetarian options, and there are plenty of beers on tap. My wife and I shared the Broccoli and Stilton pizza...It had a good, light, and chewy crust and overall good flavor, though I didn't taste much of the honey listed as one of the ingredients. We also shared a salad, which was quite fresh. They've got a nice rooftop garden-like seating area too (though it was too cold for us Californians to enjoy that space) Great pizza in a lively atmosphere with very friendly service. We'd definitely get it again if we were in Inverness. read more

I think that was the best wood-fired pizza I have ever eaten. The crust was perfectly cooked; not burned at all!! The Spider Monkey IPA I had was delicious too! A large street level area with lots of seating but definitely checkout the roof top garden. Friendly and helpful staff; we walked so not sure about the parking. read more

A great selection of beer and pizza! If you time it right, you are able to snag a table when someone is leaving, then invite others to join you. So us Americans met some Canadians and made new friends as we are on our respective trips touring beautiful Scotland. Service was excellent for a very busy pub with great ambiance! read more

Fantastic pizza and beer. You order at the bar then find a seat. Just what we needed on a snowy day. We got in just in time around 3:30. As we were leaving the place was packed. read more

We ate in the restaurant. The pizza was okay and the beer good. This was an over crowded and busy restaurant. Service required waiting in line and ordering from the bar. read more

Black Isle was recommended to us by a local we met on a tour. There are several large community tables inside. Menus are on the tables. Once you decide on your selection you order and pay at the bar where you pick up your drinks and wait for your pizza to be delivered. They offer a nice selection of beers and interesting pizzas. We got the anchovies and olive pizza. We like a crisp crust and asked for the crust to be on the charred side but were advised they come one way. The pizza was good and has a lot of cornmeal on the crust which helps with the crispiness. I would have preferred Kalamata olives to the canned black olives but it was still enjoyable. My husband liked his beer and my wine was fine. read more

Recommend by our hotel staff. Was very busy and had to walk around awhile to find a place to sit. Ordered a delicious pizza and two side salads. The staff were very friendly and quick. It's a bar as well as restaurant, so a tad loud and busy! read more

Good food. Great atmosphere. Order downstairs and they'll bring it up. We sat inside the wood huts which was a lot warmer than sitting straight outside. Pizza was thin and delicious. Next time I would try different toppings. Salad was great and had like a pepper in oil dressing. Friendly bartenders. 9/10 would recommend. read more

We got back in town late from a day tour and were on the hunt for dinner. Most of the pubs' kitchens were closed when we found Black Isle. It was packed so we opted to order their black pudding and goat cheese pizza with a salad for takeaway. The pizza was delicious! Savory black pudding and tangy goat cheese atop crispy wood fire crust drizzled with wild scottish honey. For those that aren't afraid of black pudding, this one isn't to be missed read more

Great service, beer & pizza. Estimated 30 min wait for pizza, it was out in 16!! We ordered a plain cheese for our 7year old, they mistakenly brought out a pesto margarita and immediately let me know the chef is remaking the plain cheese, as they made a mistake. Awesome service! Kids cheese pizza was out minutes later and all was well!! -they let us have the pesto marg, it was delish too! read more

Pizza was awesome!! Ordered a simple pepperoni pizza, a mushroom and - we came at the perfect time - because right when we were sat, and got our drinks and pizza there was some kind of a rush. People there were stellar - service was on top. Definitely recommend! Ambiance was casual and simple. Urban fun! read more

3.5 stars. I found the pizza to be fine. Although I wouldn't have a problem returning, I would hope there are better pizza places in the area. I did like their selection of beers. read more

Outstanding food, beer,service, and ambiance. Had the venison salami pizza and it was scrumptious. Be sure to get the chili oil. Yum. Highly recommend. read more

Best pizza I've ever had. We had the Goat Cheese pizza. Highly recommend. Service was great too.

Checking out the better pizza places in the world is an important part of our travel. That doesn't always work out, but is certainly did in this instance. The sauce and crust is so critical in a good pizza, and Black Isle succeeds in both. Their sauce is rich and flavorful with a very good texture. The crust thin and with cornmeal (or equivalent) underneath which helps crisp the bottom and imparts additional flavor and texture. All of our pizzas (The Hebridean, Goat Cheese and Balsamic, and Venison Salami) were well-topped with fresh, locally sourced ingredients - all balanced and delicious. My mouth is watering just thinking back on it. The bar itself is comfortable, but since the day was warm we took advantage of the Secret Garden, the Black Isle's rooftop patio. The vibe of the bar is repeated in the Garden, which includes several "beach houses" for more private dining (or in our case, to escape the rain shower that rolled through) as well as a variety of tables open to the sky and under shelters. Things to know: * If you are not from Inverness, be aware that street parking is limited is not free and is of limited time (the stated time and no more - you will have to move to a different spot). * The brewery is not (currently) on the premises, but is open to visitors. Worth a visit. read more

Great location, fun yet family friendly setting. The pizza was also good! Great travel stop.

Craft beer snob states the beer selection is outstanding. Pizza crust is nice and crispy, not too impressed with the pepperoni, chili and honey pizza overall. read more

WOW, did this place hit the spot. We had the longest travel day from Edinburgh to Inverness and after a long day of covid test and walking we were looking for a place to eat. Unbeknownst to us we stopped into this bar hoping for some comfort food and a good drink. And they delivered! This little pizza place is truly one of a kind. The crust was not to thin nor thick and burnt to a crisp perfection. Red sauce but not to much cheese on top with green and red peppers drizzled with honey made this pizza one of a kind. And truly one of the best I've ever had. No ranch in the U.K. But we did dip this delicious meal in olive oil and red pepper flakes. We paired this delicious pie with a lite cider from the Highlands region of Scotland and a refreshing beer from the region as well. The location was perfect. As is everything in Inverness. Right in the center of the city. A short walk from the Inverness Castle and if you're lucky you'll run into the cutest little bookstore right up the street. We can't wait to go back! read more

We loved the location in Fort Williams so much we were excited to try this location. It did not disappoint. I would say the atmosphere was not as nice and the service was not as friendly, but the pizza and beer did not disappoint. They also had a much larger selection of pizza and salads than we found in Fort Williams so that was nice. read more

Terrific pizzas (had the Hebredian and the Pepperoni/chilli/honey). The cheese plate was good but not great. The beer was exceptional. Ended up having the Colonel Custard's, the Scotch Ale and the Coco Van Porter. All were delicious. Bartender provided samples to have us decide and all we tried were great. Absolutely great experience. Tip: get the chilli oil to dip your slice and extra cheese to sprinkle. Delish! read more

Noticed by now that I guess Europe isn't big on Yelp reviews. Happened to look around and find this place a few blocks from our hostel. Interior looks like it seats about a couple hundred. 4 long benches, one long table, and about 8 smaller tables. The restaurant boasts to have over 100 craft beers on tab. Their menu primarily consists of fire oven pizza and other Italian like appetizers and sides. We ordered the bruschetta, mushroom and salami pizza, and a side of salami. The pizza was very good, came out in about ten minutes. The bruschetta was not. The bread was barely toasted, there was a lot of tomatoes but almost no basil and absolutely no cheese. The salami would have been fine with other things, but for about 4euro, 5 slices of salami didn't seem worth it to me. I would say for the beer and pizza, this place is great. Everything else on the menu, you can pass . read more

Phenomenal pizza, beer and sustainable business plan. We've been to the brewery and the bar. The pizza is amazing, there's a quiet beer garden upstairs to have a peaceful beer and eat food if the tables are too busy downstairs. Highly recommend. read more
