The Tooth & Claw is the Highlands' only dedicated rock bar and alternative music venue, tucked away on Baron Taylor's Street in the heart of Inverness city centre (IV1 1QG). With a rustic interior of wooden beams and cosy seating, it has built a loyal following as a grassroots cultural hub — local bands rehearse upstairs and the upstairs gig room hosts energetic rock, metal, punk and tribute shows that regularly sell out. Signed and unsigned acts play most Friday and Saturday nights to a room of around 75–100. It's also known as a genuinely inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly space. Contact 01463 243000 / info@thetoothandclaw.co.uk.
