Drouthy's in Dundee City

He estado aquí varias veces con mi pareja, siempre estamos encantados con el servicio y la calidad de los alimentos.

Visiting my son who's at uni here with my 6 year old nephew and my dog. Lovely place, food was delicious, especially the pork and chirizo burgers. Very friendly, welcoming staff and also my dog was welcome too. Highly recommended

Comimos una especie de croquetas de quinoa algo picantes, una ensalada de queso bastante simple y una hamburgers de cordero pequeñita y patatas precongeladas. Está bien,pero para un brunch. Es algo caro para la cantidad que ofrecen.

Queso macaroni era insípida, apenas cualquier salsa de queso y parecía que era de una mezcla de paquetes. Completamente diferentes a la caliente, directamente desde el plato de horno me han servido en ocasiones anteriores. Servidor amable, pero no muy rápido para platos o postres claro teniendo en cuenta que era tan ofrecen un tranquilo día. Un poquito decepcionante.

Following on from the stodgy microwaved lunchtime offering today I will no longer be raving about Drouthy's fab Mac Cheese. It was quite an unpleasant surprise - and very disappointing. It used to be so amazingly good. I won't be going back.

Un gran servicio, no, realmente, un gran servicio. Las hamburguesas son deliciosas, hay bastante variedad de cervezas y otras bebidas y si pides una taza de té y te sale un recipiente con real, no sólo la antigua bolsa de té - cosas

Disfrutamos de una comida encantadora con un grupo grande de amigos. El personal era tan amable y servicial. Estupenda comida. Me encantó las patatas fritas de camote (aunque un poco fría a la llegada). Disfrutamos probando los diferentes de cervezas con la linda wee tablas de degustación. Me encantaría volver. Muy buena manera de pasar un sábado por la tarde-noche.

Mi compañero y yo fuimos a drouthy y no quedamos muy impresionados. Tuvimos que esperar más de media hora para nuestro hamburguesas para finalmente llegar a mi las patatas fritas eran más de hecho, faltaban y coberturas de mi hamburguesa. En general, no es una buena noche y lo recomendaría.

Llevé a mi hija y a mi pareja con hijos tener un regalo de cumpleaños para su cumpleaños.

Bonito Gastro Pub de la misma gente que maneja el restaurante en el DCA. La comida es muy sabrosa y muy buena. Las porciones son generosas y mientras mi favorito es el chili de mi pareja juran que hamburguesas. Animado bar que cuenta con espacio para fiestas privadas de abajo. Bar muy popular lleno así que reservar con antelación si va los fines de semana para garantizar una mesa. Los cócteles son geniales también.

Back again for burgers and beers. The food was great and the selection of beer, gins, rums etc is excellent.Service was top notch too, the staff clearly know their beer.

Tipico pub scozzese, con nota di merito per gli hamburger gourmet con ampia scelta di birre sia locali che internazionali. Il locale inoltre aveva un'atmosfera molto accogliente.

Was in with friends recently for a few drinks. Whole the cocktail selection is fairly small, they are very well made. I recommend the coconut daiquiri. Atmosphere is very nice and the staff are very friendly. Not had food recently, but when I had it in the past it was always good.

Friendly efficient staff are a highlight of drouthy's. Food is reasonably priced and filling. Good selection of burgers. Hit the spot and helped with my hangover.

Very welcoming, knowledgable staff, very hospitable to dogs including water bowl & treats. Wide selection of local & craft beers. While the food is nothing flash, it was fresh, tasty, fast & enjoyable... ⭐️

Great food, place is warm and inviting. Good location. perfect for an evening out with friends. reasonable price

Nipped into Drouthy's for a drink and something to eat with friends. Food was excellent, well priced and tasty. Good selection of beers on offer. Tegan was very friendly and helpful, nipping over to see if everything was OK, and checking to see if we needed anything. Will definitely be back.

About to give up hope of a decent drink and meal in Dundee on Sunday evening (with dog) when we were directed to Drouthy's. What a great find! They have a fantastic selection of beers (draught and bottled), and if you're not sure which beer you want you can sample three draught beers in one-third pint glasses. The burgers were excellent, moist and with good flavour, while the sweet potato chips were worth the small additional cost. The staff were so very welcoming and efficient, making it altogether a most delightful occasion.

Arrived here quite late on a Saturday night after being completely let down at another restaurant. Place was very busy but the staff were amazing & asked a group of guys if they would give up their table & mind sitting downstairs so we could eat. They did without any hesitation which was greatly appreciated. Our waitress was lovely. We all ordered burgers. Mine was the shroom which was roasted red pepper & mushrooms with sweet potato fries. Delicious! One of our group wanted a dark ale to drink so the waitress allowed her to taste before she decided on one. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating & friendly.

Prices were quite expensive, bar area downstairs cold sat with a coat on all night.asked for a Drambuie told none in the bar but they had it upstairs.....won't be back , plenty off other pubs to choose from

Great food, friendly staff.Enjoyed our meal, their own special burgers are really good ! Will be back soon for some more :)

Been to Drouthy's with work, with my partner and even with my dog! Never disappointed and hubby loves the choice of craft beer. Their sweet potato fries are to die for!

First time in Dundee, was recommended this bar as a great place to drink, and also have great food. Not disappointed, try the CHC burger. Also, the Red Kite. Friendly and charming.

Went for lunch, it being dog friendly and found this to be a very nice, friendly place. Staff were friendly and efficient, big thumbs up for the music! Any place that plays Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen is worth visiting. We all had burgers and the burgers themselves were very good, though personally I'm not sold on the brioche buns, though others in the party liked them. The big disappointment was the accompanying chips. Skinny, pale,pallid and generally tasteless. With a burger you want chunky, well fired chips and let's be honest, that's not too difficult. Overall it's good, but not great and what's wrong could be easily fixed.

Nice little pub enjoyed the atmosphere. Loads of art students was a great night!! Will certainly be going back again for more sometime soon

Back again for another pub lunch. Quickly becoming our go to place if stopping for a bite to eat in town. The menu is good, food always nice and a great selection of beers.

place itself is nice enough and the service was fine, bar staff friendly etc but the food was very disappointing, the way the menu describes the food we were expecting very tasty satisfying meals but they were quite the opposite, both meals very measly portions for the money and were very bland in taste, wouldnt go back as there are far too many lovely places to eat in and around the Dundee, Broughty Ferry area to be wasting money on this!

Student daughter took us here and recommended the burgers.Nice place, good menu, large range of beers and made welcome.When the food arrived we were short of the only burger we ordered for hungry daughter and the waiter said it would be "two minutes"....The food that did arrive was ace and we suspected that they had cocked up the order and after the rest of us were finished (about 15-20 minutes) there was no sign of the burger. After two trips to the bar it finally arrived with a meek apology so I told the waiter that he could serve it but we would not be paying for it and he put it on the table.A few minutes later the manager came over about the "issues" we had had and said that he would agree not to charge us for it!!The conversation went downhill from there and the bill was duly presented minus the cost of the burger and we almost parted friends.

I played there with my band, the basement is often crowded with good local and international bands you can enjoy if you love live music. If you just want to hang out you won't be bothered anyway and could spend your time upstairs with a good selection of beers and food. Try the sweet potato chips, really tasty!

Visited Drouthy's this evening for a pre-theatre meal. Had parked the car along the street and stumbled across this pub/eatery by accident en route to Dundee Rep. Myself and Other Half got a table at the window straight away where a delightful young server (very pleasant young lad with an Irish accent) came across immediately and asked us if we would like a drink or to look at the menu. He brought menus across to us and went to get our drinks. Our meals were brought to us in good time - a 'small plate' of macaroni cheese with red onion and tomato for me and a 'sharing plate' of nachos with chilli beef for OH, oh, and we can highly recommend the sweet potato fries with house seasoning we enjoyed on the side! Superb! Our food was excellent, very tasty and served piping hot. One small gripe is that there could have maybe been a wee bit more chilli beef on OH'S nachos but it was good all the same. We ordered desserts, Belgian chocolate brownie for me and Oreo cookie sundae for OH. Again, both were most enjoyable. Bill (including a soft drink each) came to just shy of £30 - good food and excellent, attentive service - well worth it. Will visit again and recommend! :)

I used to drink here years ago when I was a student. Stella Artois was as fancy as the beer got and the food was bowfin'. I’m happy to see it’s a totally different place these days. There’s a huge selection of craft beers which the knowledgeable staff were only too happy to talk me through. The menu had loads of interesting options and the dishes we were served were faultless. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be heading back again.

Visiting daughter at uni so popped in one evening. Food and service good. Busy place for the younger generation. Would pop back but at a quieter time.

Admittedly didn't try the food but the beer was week served and there is tonnes of choice. Not cheap mind so don't expect wetherspoons prices. Service was fine with knowledgable staff.

Not normally one to complain, I've taken to TA to express my disappointment with our trip to drouthys this evening (5th September). We used to be fairly regular customers in drouthys but recently we have been a bit disappointed in their changes to the burgers and drinks menu and so have been less frequently of late. Nevertheless tonight we decided to head to our old haunt to mark one our friends leaving dundee for a new job. We first tried to ring to book a table (3-6pm) but were unable to get an answer. The phone just kept ringing. We decided to head on over anyway and were lucky to get a table. However we just sat there for 20minutes or so while the waitress ignored us. Eventually one of our party went to the bar to ask for menus. Eventually we ordered our food. However when we asked the guy who took our order if they'd stopped doing table service, he claimed that drouthys had never done table service, it was something that staff just liked to do for customers. This seemed very odd as we'd always had table service every time we'd been. Anyway we ordered our food and it arrived in good time. It was then that we experienced out second irritation of the night. The waitress told us that if we wanted some there was some on the table next to us. Thankfully the women sat on the table must of overheard her and passed us the condiments. Moving on, we finished our food and decided we might like deserts so we asked for the dessert menu. Again another twenty minutes passed while the waitress folded napkins and tended to the bar. In the end we gave up and decided to leave and pick up something sweet in tesco on the way home. Then came the final insult. We went to the bar to pay, seeing as there was no point in waiting for the staff to come to us. We stood waiting while the bar man attempted to make the couple in front of us two drinks. He seemed to be have a nightmare, reading the cocktail menu, dropping a lemon on the floor and ultimately dropping the lemon squeezer into the empties bin. He did apologise for the delay and said he'd be with us in a minute. Incidentally that minute never came and another five minutes passed and we were still standing there getting pretty hacked off. Meanwhile a queue had formed at the bar. When our waitress finally appeared at the bar, we had to interrupt someone to get her to acknowledge that we were before them and we wanted the bill that she hadn't brought us. Only at this point she apologised for not bring us the desert menu because she'd been busy. We finally paid and were relieved to get out of there and probably with an extra £30 that could have gone to Drouthy's if we'd had our dessert menus and subsequently ordered another round!Drouthy's staff are usually great. Tonight was the first time we have left without tipping them. We'd like to think this is a one-off due to a shortage of staff and a function booked downstairs but surely management would consider staffing in these circumstances, especially on a Saturday night and the first Saturday that students are back in town as well.We hate to say it, but between the changes to the food menu (the burgers are good, but not as good as they used to be!); changes in availability/stock of some beverages and now serious understaffing/ lack of training staff Drouthy's sadly seems to be going down hill rapidly.

We chose to try this place as we were out and about with the dog and it was listed on a dog friendly website. It is indeed dog friendly and the dog got a plate of biscuits and a bowl of water before we were served. The menu is mainly gourmet burgers and the choice is very good. I had the halloumi burger which was really delicious. We had the children too and while they enjoyed it there wasn't a separate menu for them. This wouldn't prevent us from going back though

Here they make some of the best burgers in town. The vegetarian options are great as well. You might, however, give the salads a pass, since they are small and contain mainly one ingredient. On some evenings it can be crowded and you might get a seat where they serve food.

Really enjoyed our lunchtime visit to Drouthy's today. Thought the menu was fab for vegetarians and meat eaters. Had halloumi salad with puy lentils with a side of sweet potatoes fries. It was delicious. Really fab food, good service and an extensive selection of craft real ales. Two members of our party tried the craft beer tasting tray which is a great option to try some new beers, stouts or IPAs. We were extremely impressed with the choice. We will definitely go back soon.

Go here atleast two times a month with my partner, service and staff are always so friendly and inviting, food is always up to standard and tastes amazing. Would recommend to anyone wanting a great meal and a friendly welcome!!

The young staff and comfortable decor give this establishment a trendy yet warm atmosphere. The team on-hand were attentive and happy to help. The food was brought out at a fine speed- not too fast to arrouse suspicion as to the quality of the cooking, and not too slow as to start the thumbs twiddling. The food was impeccable. I was served possibly the best burger to ever have grazed my gub and the sweet potato fries were a thing of majesty. I highly recommend the 'Scotsman' burger. Will definitely be back and will definitely be recommending to anyone I know who loves food and craft beer/ales.Tip o' the cap!

Went here for a quick meal with my family. Food was excellent, staff were very friendly and chatty. Atmosphere was very relaxing. They also have a good selection of drinks! Service slowed down a bit when it got busier which is fairly understandable. Treated myself to pudding as well which was amazing! Would visit again!

Relaxed atmosphere and great selection of beers on tap. The Scotsman Burger was also fantastic; a tasty 600g burger with cheddar cheese and Haggis served with sweet potato fries.

Very friendly staff, reasonable prices, very good meatthe perfect place to have a home-made burger with chips in a nice atmosphereGood choice of beers

Good beer but doesn't change very much staff don't always know enough about the beer they sell. Good food a little limited for veggies more like pub food. Good service all round though.

I have been going to Drouthy's for the past 8 years and if I'd written this review a few years ago, it would have scored 10/10 on everything but unfortunately they have changed some things around and it has not been for the better. The food menu changed drastically about 12 months ago and I'm pretty sure they changed where they were sourcing their food as the quality dropped dramatically. The food went form being high end pub grub to barely above fast food. The service however, has never faltered, 10/10 for a warm, welcoming and knowledgeable staff. They regularly change what they have available on tap, allowing you to try an assortment of ales, lagers and beers throughout the year.

Fine for drinks of an evening but don't bother with the food, poor quality and overpriced.We had macaroni cheese, which was heaped into a bowl with no panache and was watery and overcooked. The halloumi salad was okay, but pretty bland and far to many unseasoned lentils.It wasn't disgusting, but completely uninspiring and considering the competition, overpriced and underwhelming.

I've ate here a few times now, while on solo business trips. It's a lovely place to eat alone as the atmosphere is very relaxed, and the staff are very natural and friendly.And of course the food is lovely. Good sized portions at decent prices. My first choice whenever I'm in Dundee.

Great friendly staff and an excellent salad. Peaceful and convenient parking would recommend this place to enjoy a meal and relax.

I've been going to this bar since student days. It's changed a bit over the years, but it still has the same great atmosphere and friendly staff. They do the best macaroni and some great burgers too. They have actually just re-done their menu with some interesting sharing platters and some really excellent salads. Nice choices for vegetarians and lots of interesting craft beers and ciders on tap.

Terrible communication through the telephone when was only booking tables. booked for 30 and they only reserved 20 and my party had to squeeze in these terrible tables that were falling apart. Barmaids were really nice and consistent. Over expensive drinks for what you get. Not enough choice on the drinks menu. Could only choose between two shots! The shots were over expensive too.Health and safety hazard walking up and down the stairs as my party had to use the upstairs bar all the time...when there was actually a bar downstairs. Nearly fell with drinks in hand!

Having visited this pub/restaurant numerous times in the past, I found myself here with my husband and sister in law for a very late afternoon/early evening drink then dinner. We were served quickly and professionally by a young waiter and we then decided to stay for food. It was charming and the manager paid us a visit to our table to check on our visit- which is unusual for a pub/restaurant. I am a fan of the taster board which the staff were of a particular help and they guided us on our choice and favourite ales. I highly recommend this place especially when management take an interest in their customers (I think his name is Ewan?) Excellent ales and good choice of food for a relaxed, cosy and casual evening.

We had popped in for a bite to eat. Had seen nibbling board elsewhere but never given option of choosing yourself. Loved the choices had roast veg, chorizo, mackerel and the bread. Husband had burger and sweet potato chips, which was yummy! I had to try. Big thumbs up all round

We always make a point of heading to Drouthy's whenever were in Dundee which is on a regular basis. There is always a good mix of age groups and a lovely warm welcoming feeling.The menu isn't extensive, but what they serve is really good. There is a wonderful selection of beers, spirits and wines, something to suit all tastes.What makes this place extra special is the super friendly staff who go out of their way to make you welcome. On our last visit, we enjoyed a meal and some drinks then explained to the guy who served us we needed our bill, as we were off to see a show at the Whitehall Theatre.After the show we headed back to Drouthy's for a nightcap and were asked by the same pleasant chap if we had enjoyed our show.It’s these little things that make you want to return time and time again. Thanks guys. You’re worth the journey from Aberdeen. See you soon.

We come to Drouthys a lot, whether it be for a drink or to stop and have some food. We most recently had our work's Xmas meal there and today brought our dog in with us after our walk where she was spoiled with treats and a bowl of water. We love the atmosphere here and my other half likes exploring their craft beer selection. We'll certainly continue to be regulars!

I go here often, most of the time with friends for lunch, dinner or just drinks. Welcoming and smiling staff. Best Mac and Cheese in town! always have a selection of new beers to try, Food always fresh and very tasty. Warm and relaxed atmosphere. One of the best pub in Dundee!

Recent discovery in Dundee . Very warm welcome , good food , great beers and dog friendly ! Nothing else to say ...

Visited here on Saturday for lunch. Staff were really nice, we were seated quickly and drinks arrived quickly. Menu was good, with a nice range of meals. They don't do kids meals but do a selection of small meals so my daughter was able to get something suitable. Two of us had burgers which were excellent, I had the sweet potato fries which I could have eaten a bucket load of!! Another of our party had soup and a salad which was again very nice. My daughters macaroni was given the comment of best ever and her plate was cleared so good review there!! Overall, the service was very attentive but we were also left to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. I will definitely be visiting again.

I went to Drouthy's with a group of friends for a late dinner after watching the fireworks. From the minute we walked in the staff were welcoming & friendly. Something that cannot be said for every pub or restaurant, often when you walk in looking for food after 8.30pm the staff are quite frosty!!Anyway, there were 7 of us and the staff were more than helpful from start to finish. We sat down stairs in the cellar area & we had it to ourselves which was lovely. The portion sizes are immense. I ordered the Nachos as a small, even then the plate was full & I could not finish it! I really enjoyed my meal, it had full flavour and was definitely worth the money. I would say though the menu is a little bit steep, around about £10-15 for a burger. All of the food came out together and with a minimal waiting time. The staff were on hand checking on us and taking more drinks orders. They honestly made the experience 10 times better just by being friendly & making us feel important i suppose!Definitely be back!

Dropped in one Saturday, managed to get a table. My partner and I ordered a beer and a cider, both were exce3llent. My cider has to be one of the nicest I have ever had. Plus the burgers were so good that we will definitely come back soon

A friend and I went here for dinner on a Friday night. It was lively but not too crowded and we were warmly welcomed. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. I ordered a squash salad which was absolutely delicious; it was refreshingly creative in its ingredients, too, which pleasantly surprised me seeing as it is primarily a burger joint. I also had the soup of the day - sweet potato and courgette - it was nice enough although nothing special in my opinion (not like the salad). My friend had a chicken burger which she rated highly. Drinks weren't expensive, I had a glass of the house wine which was fine. Overall, I would certainly recommend it for food and a relaxed atmosphere.

We had our dinner here on Friday allows dogs and children we had a lovely meal staff were friendly don't do kids meal but do small or large portions of some meals

Without doubt one of the friendliest bars in town. The staff are excellent and so professional. For a beer and a burger and service with a smile it can't be beaten x

Nipped in on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed the garlic mushroom burger and a macaroni cheese both of which were very tasty. With a Williams lager and a Lindemans framboise to help them go down from an extensive selection of craft beers. Friendly, attentive staff and a nice atmosphere (with great background music) made it a pleasant afternoon.

A bright and modern pub selling rare to the UK Premium Craft (keg) beers from European brewers plus up to 4 (seemingly all Scottish on our visit) real ales at around £4-£5 a pint.The ambiance on our visit (a Wednesday night) was couples and small groups of "twenty somethings" out for a chat and something to eat . I surmise that is its target customer base given the University area location. The service was attentive and conversational and we were unusually offered a jug of water at the time of our food and drinks order and the water jug which arrived with coriander and other herbs in. We opted to avoid the plentiful gourmet burger options on the menu and found the rest of the menu was not very inspiring. We shared a large portion of the deep fried haggis bites with a dip as a starter. Followed up with chili and Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni mains respectively (with a side order of chips to pad out the portion sizes). The chips disappointingly turned out to be skinny french fries type offerings and with hindsight the main courses were ample sizes and thus made the chips superfluous anyhow. We both found the meals to be tasty and just about reasonably priced but not memorable - Were I to be in town again I would maybe hunt out Drouthy's to see what beers were on offer but I doubt I would go back to eat as there is better value to be had.

I wrote a review a while back expressing my discontent on the changes to the 'gourmet burger', well they have taken note by the looks of it-probably due to a drop in custom and rise in complaints!Glad to now give 5 stars as it deserves!Looking for a delicious burger? Get to Droughys! Best in town bar none!

Drouthy's is probably the main place I go for food in Dundee.The service is excellent - they have some of the cheeriest staff in Dundee.Food is always great and the prices are good. The burgers are excellent.I'd definitely recommend Drouthy's and this is the place I usually take visiting friends for dinner and a drink.

Just love Drouthy's - menu is good, food is tasty, portions are large and staff are really great. Table service, quick and friendly.

I've lost count of the number of Sundays I have come to Drouthys hungover for a fry-up.I've never had a better one and can't stop coming back.I've also been a couple of times for dinner - the menu isn't all that extensive but it's reasonable enough and the food is nice.

I'm not the kind of person to give negative feedback, however myself and my friends we're left very deflated after eating here. The table was booked for 7:30 for a party of 9 and we were quickly asked our orders - all was well until the starters came out and one of us was seriously unimpressed with his chicken goujons as he deemed them definitely not worth over £5. All was well when we were eating our main - they we're regular pub meals, just what you'd expect in an average pub. (The spiced carrot soup was nice though...) HOWEVER, when we were finished as the staff had forgotten about us, we had to go upstairs to the bar to get the dessert menus, only to be told that the kitchen was closed!! - Why book a party of 9 if you know you're not going to give them the full meal that they are looking for?

I had the halloumi burger and my partner had the chicken burger. Neither of us were very impressed. There was hardly any halloumi and way too much pepper which made it slippery and very messy. Overall felt like i was eating roasted peppers in a bun! The pub itself was nice and the staff were great. Beer selection cant be faulted either. I would warn vegetarians though that they have labelled several non vegetarian items as vegetarian!

Drouthys tends to be always busy in the evening which says a lot for how many people like the place - it's in a great location on the Perth Rd across from the art college, and there is a nice atmosphere inside. I went with my partner and a friend for some dinner; they opted for the massive burgers while I settled for a spinach and ricotta dish. The burgers looked great and were well received. I enjoyed my meal, but there was lashings of cheese and little spinach. The waitress was very attentive, and they have a wide range of drinks to choose from. Drinks are quite pricey, but that reflects the choice on offer and the location of the bar.

Visited with a friend last week, we both ordered burgers as we'd heard how good they were! We definitely were not disappointed, great portion size, really don't have a single complaint. Staff were really good too, friendly and chatting away. Will definitely be back!

Easily my favourite bar in town. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, wide choice of beverages and delicious food. The only downside is the shortage of seats/tables, but this is to be expected as it's so well loved. Downstairs is great for an open mic/live music night, and all in all, I can't fault good old Drouthys! Highly recommended.

Having regularly frequented Drouthy's both with my girlfriend and with friends, I must say it is a fantastic all round venue. Whether you are after a few pints or sit down with the missus you are definitely in the right place. The choice of drink on offer on tap or in the fridges is sensational and the engaging bar staff are always able to offer their own recommendations and knowledge when you are just too spoiled for choice. I must say even with the huge choice of drinks on offer, it is the food bringing me back. The poppyseed bagel filled with the three C's of chicken, cheddar and chorizo is mindblowingly delicious supplemented with a generous salad portion and a choice of fries (parmesan for me). They also have a fantastic range of burgers with the haggis topped Scotsman being my personal recommendation.Top notch venue that I can't not recommend. You won't be disappointed.

It has a really welcoming atmosphere to the place and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I go here regularly and whether its for drinks or a meal I'm never disappointed in the quality of products and service I receive. I really recommend going here-one of the best eating establishments in Dundee.

We had a table for 5. Most of the food was ok for pub grub, however the macaroni cheese was very runny and flavourless, more like a soup, it was as if the attempt at a sauce had curdled, there was no topping that may have helped the overall flavour. We complained and they took it away. After a couple of minutes the same dish was returned with some pepper sprinkled on it. When we complained again we got a shoulder shrug and were charged the full £8.

just ok beer can be poor though.Had a decent meal and a couple pints. The food was decent and surprisingly healthy! The atmosphere was great and the staff very friendly. Willwould go back but beer is letting the site down

Beer was a tad lifelessWine costlyBurger was bland, very blandFries a la McDonalds (how difficult is it to peel and cut up a potato, fry and produce a plate of chips?)Most expensive Peroni in townBut atmosphere was good and service was fine. May pop back in for a drink but avoid the food.

Before I complain I want to say that I used to love this place for its burgers, best in town bar none, the kind of place you want to show friends. The staff are great and the chef is talented, the bar itself is really cool and has a welcoming vibe, good drink selection and great place for a coffee, however I'm really disappointed in the recent changes they have made to their signature burger. This may sound trivial but hold on!The gourmet burger...The burger I used to regularly enjoy was fresh, high quality and prepared with their own blend of herbs and spices,it tasted amazing as the chef is good when he gets good ingredients; fresh flavour, juicy, lingering and memorable, just fantastic. The meat now used is a pre-made burger, tastes rubbery, bland and reminiscent of a burger van. A clear cut in quality... Yet not price strangely enough. Both my friend and I noticed upon our last visit, it just isn't the same. Buns changed in recent months too which was the first blow but was forgivable as the meat was still the star. Along with the fresh cheddar, salsa and spicy mayo.I wish they would get the old burger back, get this place back to 5 star for me and my friends. Real burger lovers. If it wasn't for the awesome staff, chef and atmosphere then it would be 1 star based purely on the new burger (but still known as their gourmet burger) for me!Shame. Please fix it. Avoid the burgers till fixed, ask!

Had a wonderful meal and a couple pints while visiting Dundee. The food was fabulous and surprisingly healthy! The atmosphere was great and the staff very friendly. Will definitely go back!

We were two couples looking for an interesting pub with good food. This was it! We brought the average age up on a saturday night, haha. The place was full but the staff were able to find us a great table. Very friendly staff here, stopping to make us feel welcome. Thanks!

Cracking bar food, sensibly priced and the atmosphere was relaxing. I had the fish and chips which was well above average. The burgers looked great so I will sample one of them on my next visit

I have eaten here on a few occasions now and each time I've had one of the many different burgers they advertise on the menu, the meat is of the absolute best quality. All of the burgers are supplied by Simon Howie Butcher and you really can't go wrong with any of them. I had the double last time and it was a mammoth task to finish it off but so good, the salad to accompany was really fresh, fries were great and the service was perfect. It was relatively busy when we were in so I was surprised how quick we got our food.....oh and the coffee is reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyyyy good!! First class food and a decent pint, can't complain!

Four of us recently went for a meal here to celebrate my dad's birthday. The waitress explained the head chef was off so food would take a little longer than usual. Fair enough. The food arrived and it ranged from ok to appalling. There was no salad at all as they'd run out. (Tesco is just up the road!) My dad's burger was served with a bun, some grated cheese and fries. That was it. Honestly, I've never seen such a depressing meal. The presentation was appalling. My girlfriend had the nachos, which came with two bowls of salsa. (They'd run out of guacamole and sour cream.)They gave us some money off the meals but this was ridiculous. A kitchen shouldn't fall apart because one member of staff is off. Such a shame and a disappointment as the food is usually great. Make sure to ask if the head chef is in before placing your order!

Yet another lovely meal here, 4 of us went for their guest burger, but by the time we'd placed our order they only 2 left (the server warned us this may happen) so they offered us their next guest burger which actually worked to be a great idea! We all had half of each guest burger!It's good to see a creative & fresh menu with adaptability!We were served by various staff & they were all friendly. The two brunette girls (one is the manager or supervisor & the other foreign) were great! They let us try out a couple of beers & helped us to choose the best one suited to our taste!Reading some of the comments below about beers being over priced & being able to buy them for £2 in the shop... firstly I challenge them to find Mikkeller in a shop in Dundee & to get a bottle for less £8. Good, low volume, craft beers cost (deservedly so) quite a bit, but you shouldn't be drinking pint after pint, have a half, split a bottle with a friend. If you want to be a larger guzzling sheep then head to the Counting House in town! Drouthys is up their with the best pubs/bars in town - I think we should respect the fact it's not another chain pub serving the same menu in every city form frozen...

This pub/restaurant has recently changed ownership and as such no longer stocks certain alcohol and could not provide an alternative to my liking so ended up with water. Food was nice and staff were lovely

So good love the natchos and such a good time everyone is lovey and the price is excellent!!! I love it!!!!

Had an appointment on the Perth Road so had a short amount of time for food - miscalculated the distance to some of the other places, so actually ended up at Drouthy's by chance. And what fortune that was as I got to taste the best burger in Dundee (couldn't choose between the chilli burger or the bbq burger, so had a combination of both!)The waitress was really attentive and pleasant. Food came quick.

Great selection of meals and snacks. Drouthys is great for functions too. It's got a good atmosphere, clean and right next to the art school

Have been frequenting Drouthy's with friends and my girlfriend for quite some time now and thought I'd try and neutralise some of these poor reviews they've been receiving.My girlfriend and I went along to Drouthy's yesterday for lunch and, as usual, everything was perfect. We ordered large Nachos with beef chilli on top and it was excellent. The portion was perfectly sized for two and no expense was spared on all the toppings. Our server was polite, well informed and very friendly which was a nice change from most places in Dundee.The menu is good, comprising most things you'd expect in a pub, many dishes having a Drouthy's/Scottish twist and everything is very competitively priced.The atmosphere is a nice change from most places, it tends to have dimmed lights and candles on each of the tables throughout the day which makes for a nice place to take a spouse.There's a reasonable selection of different beers and I'm led to believe the cocktails are very good, though a bit pricey.I'd go as far as to say that Drouthy's is one of my preferred places to go for a good feed in Dundee and wouldn't hesitate suggesting it to any of my friends.

Visited here with some work friends for something to eat. Was gonna have the nachos as I know they are ok, but decided to go for a burger as the menu made them sound good. Food came, started to eat my burger but noticed a really weird smell. It genuinely smelled mouldy or something along the lines of that, was a really weird funk coming off my food!Alerted the waitress, who kind of looked blankly at me when I encouraged her to smell it for herself. She agreed it didn't smell right. Another server came over and said sorry and he would take something off the bill. Didn't eat my meal, got 10% off. JOKE!Can I not just get food with no issues???The food looked ok as well, the fries were ok....just this god awful smell from the burger!! I've gave this place countless chances, fed up being disappointed now! Good for a drink but eat elsewhere.

Unfortunately a lot of these reviews seem to be about the old style Drouthy's that has changed hands since. Droughy's isn't all that bad but it could be a lot lot better. The drink selection is actually quite limited and very overpriced. You may find that there isn't one reasonably priced drink that you'll like (unless you like Tennents lager... I mean come on sort it out). The staff were NOT pleasant to me at all on my last visit. I used to drop in there on a night out over the last few years but not any more. I would recommend that they sort the drink selection, lower the prices a bit, get some more friendly staff to replace the ones that are rude... hope that's enough to bring the pub back tbh.

Love drouthys! We often go for drinks and although not a huge cocktail menu the ones that are available are all very enjoyable. Staff are lovely and although never had a meal we have snacked during drinks. The goats cheese bruschetta is fantastic, so tasty, and the hummus and olives with pitta is a great choice with a glass of wine or two. Portions are a great size too! Can become very busy at the weekend but that is to be expected. the only thing i would say is downstairs does not smell very nice at all, however this is limited to the downstairs and the upper main bar is always clean and nice. we will continue to come back, would recommend for a quite drink amongst friends or family.

Drouthy's burgers are easily the best in Dundee. The food, across the menu, is all really enjoyable. The beers are exceptionally good, a great range. Probably cost a little more than average but the quality shows. There's a really fantastic range of spirits, particularly rums and gins. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, the staff are especially pleasant.As someone who has frequented over a good number of years, there've been some changes. The food, formerly served on good old fashioned plates has recently found itself rest on what are essentially wooden planks. That's the only annoying thing really, the wood platters seem needlessly pretentious and it can make certain dishes a messy eat.On the whole though, the food is a really good and well-priced for the standard of the meals. The range of beers, wines and spirits would keep even the most seasoned dipsomaniac busy for a good couple of nights. So, if you're looking for high-brow pub grub (if that's even a thing) and a nice drink, you'll find it at Drouthy's.

we had our works xmas night out here just before xmas. from the start of organising it back in august right through till the end of the actual night the service was faultless. Really helpful and friendly at each contact. On the night we were really well looked after. We had downstairs booked out and they had made it look very pretty, cosy and christmassy. We were given our own barperson, who was brilliant and friendly. Food was really good quality and value for money and unlike some places at christmas time it appeared as though the chef had really put thought into it. There was a small misunderstanding re numbers of orders but this was quickly and professionally dealt with and the cost was removed from our bill without any fuss. Cheers to all at Drouthys!

I went with a friend for lunch but it was a disaster from start to finish. We only ordered 2 main meals and the kitchen or the waiter managed to get them mixed up. He took them away and when he brought them back they still were not right and the waiter said that the kitchen were in meltdown ( I don't know why as it was not particularly busy when we ordered). By the time this all got sorted out the horrible thin fries were stone cold so had to take them back to the bar and by this time the burgers too were cold but I decided to eat the centre as this was the hottest and when the fries returned they were decidedly limper than our first offerings which I took to mean that they had been zapped in a microwave although not long enough to make them hot, they were still lookwarm, I gave up. One girl came past asking if everthing was okay, I replied no, she apologised then said she would inform the manager. The original waiter guy was wandering past and I asked him for a repeat drink (which I never received). After 15mins or so my friend and I had decided to go to the Tay Bridge instead for our next few drinks. When we went to pay at the bar it turned out that the waiter had added the extra drink to the total but had forgotten to give it to me. The manager took 10% of the total balance with yet more apologies. I appreciate that mistakes and errors can occur but I think what annoyed me the most was the amount of mistakes for 2 simple meals and the lack of follow up. Might I suggest that the person who takes the order, see through the process until the customers are quite happy. Shame as it is a nice place to sit and relax but there are plenty of other bars serving food on the Perth Road so I doubt that I will return to Drouthy's.

called in one sunday to an empty pub oredred a drink for my wife and myself what a shock the prices are to high for a pub no wonder this pub was empty

I live and go to school within walking distance of Drouthy's and its one of my favourite places to go. It's cosy, warm, the food is amazing (an excellent selection of burgers) and they have free wifi. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Its my favourite afternoon spot in Dundee.

Drouthys has become one of my fav bars because it's got the best burgers and to top that the beer is always pretty outstanding. Great selection of Craft beers on every time I head along which is about once or twice a month. I don't know what they put in their burger mix but just wow all the time. The deserts aren't too shabby either, warmed choc brownie with Ice cream if I can fit it in is always pleasant.Bar staff and Management are great, always very welcoming and are always keen to let you sample the beers before you try them.This is a place I tell everyone about and they always agree, it's awesome.

Droughtys became in the last years our best place for a drink and burgers! The choice of beers is great, can't complain. i always said good things about the food and recommended it to friend , but our last visit made me wonder if I will go again... or not! The burger has changed, meat is not as good as before, the burger buns is definitely a let down! the seeded bun was definitely better. The fries: but noooooo! why those thin fries, oily and tasteless? And the dessert: a chocolate brownies: it was just warm up in the microwave I guess, the white chocolate ganache was just a decoration on top of the cake made from cheap chocolate... a real let down! Please Droughtys, we want the good stuffs again!

Recently came in for some of my beloved nachos...only to see that there have been some changes. Ok,change is good. But I'm not so sure if this is the case with Drouthy's. I'm not loving the new plates. The old one's were much nicer and felt more "gastro pub". The new one's look like they should be in a fine dining establishment. Secondly, I HATE the new salsa. It's awful, really really awful. It tastes too sweet :( The old stuff was great guys, why change it?Also, there was a very small amount of jalapeno's on my large nachos :(My friend was pleased with the new chips, as she hated "fat" chips. Please change the salsa back :( If it's not broke, why fix it??
