Cactus Jak's

Attached to Bakoo this bar is open later than a lot of the other pubs in town. It plays a mix of cheesy pop/indie (Razorlight, Killers are seen as edgy to these punters) most of the time but becomes more mainstream dance later on a friday or saturday night.

The customers are a pretty strange mix of desperate old men and neds (a lot of neds). What they've both come to stare at are the nervous (and highly un-classy, how old are they??) girls who are paid to dance on the bar. Most of them look like they're either early school leavers or making some money on the side for their hairdressing/makeup course at Inverness College. For the most part it just made me feel uncomfortable.

Obviously this place cause a lot of controversy as the first Inverness bar to to have dancers and this is still the main reason it is packed out so much. Cactus Jak's also has a bizarre "jail" section at the back which I never ventured in to.
