The Phoenix Bar, 106-110 Academy Street, Inverness

The Phoenix Bar, located at 106-110 Academy Street in Inverness, is an early 19th-century building with a public bar added in 1894. The structure features rubble construction with a rendered ground floor and margins. Facing Academy Street, it has two storeys and an attic, with a later 19th-century bar frontage that includes chamfered openings at the ground floor. There are five windows on the first floor, one of which is tripartite, and the roof is piended. On Rose Street, the building showcases a Victorian ground floor frontage with four windows on the first floor, three of which are tripartite, and four piended dormers, three of which are also tripartite, rising from just below the wallhead.

The upper floors have multi-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, and the roof is slated, featuring coped ashlar stacks with cans and thackstanes.

Inside, the bar retains a good early decorative scheme, including a shallow vestibule with part-glazed timber doors and curved, etched side windows. The public bar has boarded dadoes, an anaglypta ceiling covering, an original island counter with a panelled front, a terrazzo spittoon trough, and three disused Dalex tall fonts.
