IRN-BRU in Docklands

It’s bold. It’s orange. It’s Scotland’s other national drink. And yes — we’ve got it at Invergordon Bar.

IRN-BRU isn’t just a soft drink — it’s a cultural icon. For Scots abroad, it’s a taste of home. For those yet to try it, it’s a fizzy rite of passage. Known for its unmistakable flavour and vivid orange hue, IRN-BRU is as woven into Scottish identity as tartan, football, and good pub chat.

Made in Scotland since 1901, this legendary soft drink was famously “banned” from using the word “iron” in its name — hence the stylised IRN. Sweet, sharp, slightly citrusy and with a flavour no one can quite describe (but everyone remembers), IRN-BRU holds a nostalgic place in Scottish hearts. Whether you grew up sipping it from a chippy or buying a bottle on the way to school, one sip takes you right back.

At Invergordon Bar, we proudly stock IRN-BRU for anyone craving that fizzy pick-me-up. It’s a brilliant soft option for drivers, teetotallers, or just those chasing something different. And if you fancy something a little stronger, it makes a surprisingly great mixer — especially with vodka or your spirit of choice.

We’ve had regulars bring in friends just to make them try it. We’ve seen expats get misty-eyed with their first can in years. And we’ve had more than a few locals fall in love with it for the first time. It might be an acquired taste — but once you get it, you get it.

Whether you’re Scottish born, Scottish connected, or just curious — a cold can of IRN-BRU is a must-try. It’s fizzy, fun, and full of that tongue-in-cheek Scottish energy that perfectly matches the spirit of our bar.

Pair it with some fish and chips, sip it over a long yarn, or just enjoy it solo. Either way, you’ll quickly see why it’s so loved.
