A cosy pub/restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere, offering a great selection of craft beers, classic ales, and spirits. The food is hearty and delicious, with generous portions. Friendly staff and a perfect spot for a relaxing evening.

We attended on a Saturday evening without a booking and the staff were able to accommodate us. The food itself was ok. My steak was cooked just how I liked it but there was a fair size difference in my steak compared to my husband’s. I was disappointed in the gateaux as it was clearly a mass produced frozen one and for £8 per portion I would’ve expected better quality. Where this place is lacking in quality and quantity of food v’s cost, it makes up for in the drinks and atmosphere. It’s a very cool place and the cocktails and wine were excellent. I would definitely visit again, but would maybe eat elsewhere.

Cracking local bar with a big selection of cocktails and in house brewed lager, Bar tenders are chatty and friendly. I had the Panko encrusted chicken burger with house slaw and skin on Fries 10/10 💥 freshly cooked and really tasty.

We were travelling down to Glasgow from Aberdeen, and especially were looking for a place that wouldn't have overly long serving time, so that we can make the train before it's the last one. Ended up waiting for over an hour to get our fish and chips and burgers. Had to gobble everything up once it was finally there. Barely made it to our last train because of it. Not a great experience.

We came here on Saturday night. The staff were very welcoming and professional. The barman was excellent in terms of his knowledge of beers/lagers and also how to make a cocktail. The atmosphere was great because we could have a conversation in our group but still enjoy some background music. We will definitely come back again.

Went with Family had steak pie only had about 6 chucks of stew each, nothing wrong with the meat it was just a very small portion, the puff pastry was flat as a potato scone and weirdly tasted like almonds. The vegetables were over cooked and didn’t taste fresh to me. The waiter was polite and efficient but the food was not up to standard and I would not be rushing back!

Some of the food was ok. Others not so good. Dry chicken burger overcooked, sad salad (leaves only - still a salad?) past it’s best. Waited a far too long for it to arrive even though the place was very quiet. Some good reviews on here so I’d say it’s a gamble.

Meet up for a drink and food… the wine was nice, very small list to choose from but as this bar is set up the focus is on cocktails… the food… a disaster, complete disappointment… only went there because of reviews about food… turns out, new Chef… or someone who pretends to be one… my steak was more medium rare than medium, half of the ingredients missing, refried chips. whiskey sauce was more like heavy cream sauce, not even close to call it whisky sauce… not to mention the portion of salmon my friend had… zero seasoning, none. The truth is we should refuse paying for food, but didn’t want to be “these” people… however, after having a think about it, people should know what they are about to experience… Just a word of advice, change the chef ASAP or send him for training cos soon the reputation will be ruined…

Walked in from the rain to have a drink. Asked the Bartender what they had for red wine by the glass, he was making cocktails, but a good bartender should be able to answer a simple one like this, right? Drinks are in the menu he said. Menu was on the bar, so I opened it and asked my wife if she would like breakfast, lunch or dinner to drink. The bar tender moved down the bar and dropped a drinks menu in front of us and said, you can look, but I am not going to serve you. I did not cry, as this place was not special and told him to put the drinks where the sun does not shine. Don't waste time on this place, it's not special like they think it is. We are staying Malmaison, next door for 1 week. Customer lost and reputation? Good luck. Pompus pr**k!

The bartenders and wait staff were kind but overworked. We both really enjoyed our drinks and they are reasonably priced compared to cocktails in the U.S. We did order food but they warned us it would take about an hour because they were short staffed. We didn't mind since we were there to enjoy drinks and weren't in a rush. The food was only okay. I know some of these reviews say the space was dirty and/or worn but that wasn't the impression we got. We both liked it here. I am sure there are better places to go for drinks in Dundee but we were tired of pubs at this point so were looking for a place that had decent cocktails and we found it. If that's all you are looking for, then this is the place for you.

Visited on a quiet midweek lunchtime. Only a few other punters in. Prompt & friendly service, and we didn't have long to wait for our food. We had rib-eye steak and battered haddock & chips, both good. However, there were no "crushed peas" available as the advertised accompaniment to the haddock. Also no red wines were available. The house beer - Bear Necessities 3.7% - was light & refreshing, and reasonable at £4.70/pint. An enjoyable meal, apart from the surprising unavailabilities, which I hope were temporary.

Went here for lunch based on the positive reviews. What a disappointment... Service was terribly slow, and my avocado toast was covered in bacon, which wasn't listed on the menu. The tomato that was listed was missing (as was the humus, as the waitress had already informed me 20 minutes after we ordered). The toast itself was burnt and impossible to cut.

We attempted to visit this place for a light supper. After sitting us at a “clean” but very sticky table the server proceeded to tell us essentially half or more of the menu was unavailable. It isn’t a giant menu to begin with, which is fine, but they were out of fish, all salads, and nearly everything else. Many things seem to be going wrong with this place.

I love a wee visit to Dundee and this is my favourite place for beer, and now also cocktails. We had chicken kebabs with pita bread and they were delicious! It was a hot sunny day and it felt great to be able to eat and have a few drinks outside. However I hope by my next trip, the owners have found a few bob to upgrade the outside seating. Old, wobbly, and too precarious to sit on with any comfort

On a Saturday evening the chicken was gone, the salmon was gone, a certain brand of beer was gone and even more dishes could not be served. One of the dishes was so salty that we sent it back. Then it turned out that there was no more pizza. Tip: ask first what they do have.

This was an aweful experience. We had a reservation for a saturday evening. However when we came here the waitress told us that at least half of the menu wasnt available anymore. All of the beer on the menu was already out, so they couldnt give us that either. When we ordered food, half hour later she told us that the saus of the salmon was out as well. Eventually when we got the food the stew was so salty that we couldnt eat it. When asked if we wanted something else to eat, we could only order the burgers, because EVERYTHING ELSE WAS OUT. When we brought this whole weird experience up to the manager he just told us that we could write a review, but he doesnt really care.

We originally went for food next door at Abandon ship, unfortunately they no longer do food so we were down in here (owned by the same people). We were greeted by an eye roll from the waiter who obviously had better things to do than serve us food. He explained a number of items they don't have, so we set too deciding what we were going to have. I decided to have a spicy breaded chicken burger. My partner decided on fish and chips. When we ordered I was told the chicken burger wasn't in breadcrumbs. I thought, that's OK, should still be good. We ordered our cocktails and waited. Our drinks arrived. Not a great start, My partners tasted like off orange juice. My drink was missing a key ingredient, which I later found out was because they didn't have any. The food arrived. I had a grilled chicken breast on a bun with rocket. Very little seasoning if any. No sauce. Nothing. I thought, maybe there is spice on the chicken, I'll just have it as is. Wrong. Most basic boring chicken burger I've ever had. The redeeming factor was that the chips were decent thick cut bad boys. The barmaid was friendly too. I found out afterwards that it's 2 new Chefs in the kitchen so I will cut them some slack. Won't be rushing back though

This could be, and I'm sure it was, a real 'go to' place. I've been here several times and although I love the physical environment, it now needs a thorough deep clean. It's such a shame, because when we went in last night, if you're Scottish, you'll know what I mean, when I say it smelled 'foostie'. Wouldn't take much to smarten up, what is a real gem.

Great pub and our brunch was fantastic. Service was a little slow but the staff were very friendly and I suspect it was just a bit short staffed and perhaps they didn’t expect quite so many people that day as Dundee was very quiet, even for half term. That might just be normal as I am from Surrey everywhere is packed over half term. Anyway well worth eating here and dog friendly too so 5* from us!

I booked via telephone with a person who introduced themselves as the owner to host 80 friends and family after our graduation in the mezzanine. On the day of the event, we arrived at the venue and were told by the bartender that there was a ‘miscommunication’. I was told the mezzanine was for sit down meals only and we were not welcome to use it. I queried this, explaining my phone call conversation and was told that we could stand in the main bar area only. I glanced at the bookings sheet and could see my name with ‘X80’ written down suggesting that we were expected. There was no apology given and I felt that it was suggested that I had made the mistake myself. I told the server that I had spoken to someone who told me he was the owner, and the server said there was nothing further that could be done. We were squeezed into the bar and made the best of it. Throughout the evening, I could only see one table of 2 people upstairs eating. I have emailed and asked for an explanation, and have been ignored. I would avoid this place at all costs, especially for events.

Very odd experience. We had booked a table of 6 for 6.30pm for food, 5 days in advance and were happily booked in. We walked into the establishment 2 minutes before our scheduled booking time and were greeted with nothing. No acknowledgement from staff (3 of whom were behind the bar facing our general direction). A simple hello would of sufficed. After walking up to the bar and waiting for anyone to be bothered to stop gossiping, I was greeted with a less than friendly "yes?!" The music was oddly loud for somewhere that had a total of 9 customers (including the 6 of us). Some of the group were older and had hearing problems, and I asked politely if they wouldnt mind turning down the music due to the aforementioned hearing issues. The first staff member (who I presume was quite new due to their friendlier disposition) said very nicely "yes no problem" and attempted to turn it down, but couldn't find the controls. They then asked who I'm assuming was the manager for help, who bluntly snapped at me "No, were not turning it down, this is a bar so it's loud, and it's only going to get louder." I am very aware a bar is not a library but it is a place people drink and socialise which involves conversation, something that is quite strenuous if you're constantly roaring at each other over radio 1's top 40. After an awkward debacle, we were sent to our table which was a miniscule table for 4 (again we had booked for a table of 6, days ago) and it wasn't set up, which would be more understandable if it were busy and we were a walk in, but again, there were only 3 other people in the building and we had booked days ago. The waiter then moved us to a bigger table which we were grateful for. After enduring it for around 10 minutes I again asked if the music could be turned down, as now that we were sat upstairs, impaired or not, we couldn't hear. The supposed manager then made a final stand, pointing out that this was "NOT a restaurant," and the music should be loud, and the food was "a secondary thing" that just happened to be in the bar. Weird when it's openly advertised as a bar restaurant and they actively promote the restaurant/food aspect. Furthermore watching the staff rolling their eyes and mocking what anyone who went to the bar said, was pathetic. You would think they would be smart enough to know people can see you from the mezzanine. We chose to leave so I can't comment on the food or drinks unfortunately. Just some of the staff need some lessons in basic manners and decorum, especially the manager (shorter woman with blonde highlights and multiple face piercings) We went to Milas instead which was fantastic.

Wasn't going to write a review, but after reading some of the others below and no response from management, I might as well. We had lunch here yesterday, we waited longer than normal for the food to come out, then when it did, they were really small portions. I mean, really small!! £7 for a kids pizza looked like a small £1 frozen pizza I paid £17 for a 3 bean chilli and the portion was smaller than what I would feed my 4 year old. When I told the waitress, she said she would pass it onto the chef. No further food came out to top my sad little bowl up and it wasn't taken off the bill. Really poor service from a place that looks great, great decor, just s shame the service and food isn't matched.

Fairly underwhelming. We changed our dinner plans when we saw they had Carribbean food. So colour me surprised when we were served unseasoned frozen vegetables (carrots and green beans) and under seasoned rice (which seemed a lot like Uncle Ben's, not gonna lie). The brown chicken was actually not bad. My soup was £7 and I'll add a picture of it and my spoon for size reference. The dumplings I added to make it more of a meal were as expected and did the trick bulking out the soup. It was absolutely delicious though. The staff were very friendly and I have zero complaints there. Very overpriced for what you get overall and we won't be rushing back. Really disappointing trip in today but if you're just going for a pint they're okay.

Great little pub in Dundee with a fantastic atmosphere and lovely decor. Serves food although I haven’t tried it. Bar staff are very friendly, they’ll generally let you try beers before you buy. The house lager, Bear Necessities, is excellent.

Visited on a luvly sunny day, sat outside in their sitting area, benches with tables and umbrellas. Ordered a bottle of wine, friendly welcoming staff. Enjoyed sitting outside having our drinks, would return. :)

Very good service. We were quite specific in our requests and received a friendly response.

Ordered a beer and a cocktail from the menu but was told they couldn’t make the cocktail and the menu was out of date so the beer wasn’t available. Changed our order, but also added food with mussels as a starter. Most of the mussels were cracked or closed and only 6 were edible out of the portion, which was disappointing for £8.50. The manager refused to take this off our bill and instead only refunded a Diet Coke that we had ordered. Not sure what the logic for this is, but it rounded off a wholly disappointing experience.

Good selection of mixed drinks but the food is not good. Jerk chicken was super salty and the side of steamed veggies seems like a cop-out side dish not worth 14 quid. My mother had their chicken wrap, the lettuce was rotten and the chicken tasted off. Disappointed tbh because the interior decor gave off a great vibe but we shoulda noticed that everyone was there drinking and not eating.

Light lunch and a drink for 2 at £34.00 Bacon roll and chips what's not to love but Scampi and chips wouldn't impress anyone. 5 prices of tiny scampi bites ( tasted ok) not real scampi, the chopped and shaped version. Fries were OK. All on a small plate, no vegetables, no salad . Probably a child size portion but around 12 quid so not cheap but not filling either. Lacking finesse and value for money. Won't be back, many other city centre pubs doing a much better job.

From the minute we walked in the door to the time we left the whole experience was abysmal. It took 50 minutes to be served lukewarm, dry meat with some frozen fries and what looked to be salad leaves that were days old and browning....

Really nice place, very friendly and the person serving was a lovely guy :) Few vegan options, I opted for the Gnocchi, it was very tasty and so good to have something other than a burger on the menu!

I had a mai tai but it wasn't the right ratios for my taste and had a whole fruit salad for garnish. Staff were friendly though

We went in to have lunch. Met with “ table for 2, sit over there at 4” . We duly sat down. Ok. Food and drink. We had a tuna and red onion baguette and the cranberry, Brie and grape tart which came with salad and crisps, a cappuccino, a black coffee and a glass of water. The Cappuccino was ok, the black coffee ( filter coffee) came in the smallest cup I’ve seen in a cafe. Asked for a refill and was charged again. Food. The tart was ok but only taste was the cranberry, and the baguette was almost acceptable. The salad was just some shredded iceberg lettuce, one wedge of tomato, a slice of cucumber will some cheap plain crisps. Not value for money. Will not return.
