Highly recommended! great food and offers! they have a happy hour where you get free tapas when you purchase drinks over the value of £3.50. I especially recommend the chorizo, parsnip chips,aubergine fritters & peppers although all the food is fab.

trendy? pompous more like, waited too long cos some d*ck was trying to impress an ugly bird with flash pouring and shaking, would have been better staying as the moray, at you know what you are getting, left without a drink!

popped in for a quick pint, slow service initially, considering it was quiet but descent enough place. didn't like the kitchen door being open to view to the public, so didn't eat there.

in on sat for 5 seconds, as told was place to get an early drink, what a sh*t hole!!! full of alkies and bad attitude, beer tasted bad too, not that the clientelle they have there would care, they would happily drink beerline fluid from the look, and smell of them. Won't go back!!!

was in before and after the 1st game of the new football season, they opened early for coffee and breakfast, although all I wanted was a pint as I was rattling from the night before, excellent staff, and fantastic service, new chef knows how to put a breakfast together, the plate was as big as the table!!! After the game, decided to return. What an atmosphere! It was immense both sets of fans all drinking together and enjoying what I would call one of the best bars I have ever been to (and I've been in a few). Had dinner before I had to leave, proper homemade steak and ale pie, generous helping too I have to add and 'oh my god' if I had room left I would have ordered anothr- it's f****** tasty!!! Well done Phoenix (and flames) another maximum score 10/10 from me. P.S. My mate said your burger was top notch too!

I would just like to extend my agreement to the comments left by Laughaminute after a night cut short by being refused entry to Mavericks Inverness.
I too had a similar experience some time ago on an evening arranged to meet some friends as i dont get out very often these days.
Anyway as i'm not a big drinker and stick to my usual half and a half and only have the odd double on New year or family get togethers that these days are few and far between,i made my way across Ness Bridge to meet my posse in Mavericks,on approaching the venue i was flatly refused entrance due to the accusation of having difficulty walking straight and having blurred vision hence of having had too much to drink....
I tried to explain that my left leg is 3 inches shorter than my right leg and i suffer from a severe lazy eye.
Which pardon the pun fell on deaf ears much to my annoyance as i also suffer from a bad bout of tinitus,"some guys have all the luck"
It takes me a fair bit of effort from the bus stop on castle street to reach Mavericks and sometimes end up on Ness walk due to the camber on the pavement and my obvious difficulty to walk in a straight line.
Anyway my point is that maybe a level of customer care and sensibility on asscessing everyones case individually and just because someone takes a tumble or a swagger does'nt always mean they are too drunk for entry to a venue.Have you seen the size of the heels these girls wear these days
So laughaminute i wish you well and if you ever see a gammy legged cockeyed fella doin doughnuts on Ness walk point me in the other direction.....Glen ll do....

Oh dear! What should have been a fab night was ruined by the bouncers in Mavericks. We were all on a birthday night out that had been planned for a few weeks, bunch of 30/40 plus age range, married with children having a blast together, which doesnt happen very often. Headed over to Mavericks to be told by a bouncer that one of our group wasnt getting in. When questioned why, was told she had too much to drink and we were being watched coming over the bridge. Absolutely unbelievable - we were most certainly not staggering about drunk, yes we had a few drinks in us but who doesnt on a Saturday night?? Me, being me, tried to reason with the bouncers, the place was dead anyway, and was willing to accept full responsibility for seemingly drunk friend! They were abnoxious and rude and certainly did not have any people skills or doing their job properly. I thought bouncers were there to stop trouble not cause it! Should have been about 20 years younger, wearing skirts up to our back sides, maybe then we would have got in!! Wouldnt class myself as a complainer or trouble maker but really, really annoyed about the situation and how our night out was ruined by deflation!

Tried the food here once but I will not be back for a second helping, it was like trying to eat soup with a fork.

Went in here once during my holidays, it was quiet but it was early afternoon, the staff were friendly, would like to see it at night to get a better idea of what it's really like.

Went in here when on holiday, was sitting at a table just sipping my drink and I moved the menu out of the way, quick as a flash this geezer was at the table asking did I want to order a meal. Where did he come from? The place was empty and yet he appeared like magic as soon as I touched the menu. Will not be back there in a hurry.

Had a drink in here when on holiday, thought I might bring a friend here for a meal, that was until I saw their prices £10-95p for basically a fish supper, they don't advertise it as such but that's what it is, except they add some peas, no way, would I go there for a meal no matter how good they claim their food to be.

When on holiday, I took a friend along to this place, not knowing what to expect,we were both very pleased with our meals. The service and price for drinks and the meals was very good.

On holiday, a friend took me to this pub one afternoon for a few drinks, I didn't know this type of pub still existed, friendly regulars at the bar and great service as well, there is nothing wrong with a good old fashioned pub, like this one.

On holiday, was told to visit this place, didn't have time to try their food but the staff were very friendly at the bar, must try their food the next visit, as I have been told it's very good.

Whilst on holiday, tried a meal in Flames, very poor.
The service was slow, in fact I cancelled the sweet after waiting for a long time, the staff were nice though, might give it another chance.
