The Tooth & Claw is Inverness's dedicated independent rock and alternative-music bar in the city centre. A free open mic has been associated with the venue, but its current music open-mic slot could not be reconfirmed on the venue's own listings — the clearest recurring open-mic activity found is a comedy open mic hosted by The Comedy Bothy. Check the venue's social channels for the latest music open-mic schedule before relying on it.
