Market Bar in Dundee City

Busy place, will return and est next time

Why do you state on website food served until 9.30pm when that is absolutely not true? No food available at 8pm. At least be honest!

No butter on toast bacon half cooked eggs couldn't be eaten as they were brick soild the time changed twice on delivery ate sausage and beans on dry bit of toast as I was starving not happy at all will not be ordering again thanks

Great food but forgot to include chips with meal

Lovely student style bar, welcoming staff but limited selection of alcohol free drinks.

Food was terrible arrived cold. It was either undercooked or overcooked.

Fui a reunirme con unos amigos y pedí un pastel de carne mientras me moría de hambre, las patatas fritas estaban demasiado cocinadas, pero también frías. El pastel de carne estaba literalmente fuera de una lata de frey bentos, la corteza se quemó y la verdura estaba cruda. También tenía un poco de salsa fría helada para verter, ni idea de cómo podías arruinar algo que cada abuela hace todos los domingos, no debería permitírseme vender comida, habría pedido mi dinero de vuelta si no tuviera que irme justo después de eso.

First time using this place,every thing was top notch,will definitely be back 👍

lentil soup was defo out of a tin. Carbonara very bland and tasteless, chips were cold.

Not good experience. Waited over an hour for food. An hour! After 40 mins one of our group asked staff "how much longer?", silver-blond tattood server said:"we're very busy" and didn't give any indication how long- then when I asked her 10min later: "we're really busy, and some of your table ordered starters first (not correct, was all same time) but your food's being plated up now". 15m later (plating up?) it all arrived at once (starters & mains). my burger was rock solid & dry, indeed, half of it was inedible. As in pic, it held a fork upright securely! We weren't even asked if all was OK, as every similar place does. I raised the issues after with another staff member & was refunded for this one item. Later found out one of our Group had similar dry rubber overcooked beef for her meal.

Ordered 2x macaroni and chips. The macaroni had no sauce and had gone to mush. Also ordered steak pie - the steak was chewy and the gravy was gloppy. Ended up in the bin, would not recommend

absolutely terrible, I ordered 2 burgers and I got only 1 and there was ingredients on it that weren't advertised, total shambles, I won't be ordering again that's for sure

They refuse to heat this massive space so it's not convivial to a relaxing time. Wont be back, it's not comfortable sitting in thar temperature

Good place. I have just enjoyed their Chippy Thursdays offer which can come for £12 with a pint (April 2025). It wasn't too busy on a Thursday afternoon but there were enough locals in to confirm our good choice.

Solíamos comer aquí bastante a menudo, pero en esta ocasión fue un mal error, dos scampi pedidos ocho pedacitos, luke patatas fritas calientes lo mismo, guisantes almizclados calientes. Pedí el eglefino rebozado, si hubiera capturado este pez lo habría tirado al agua era tan pequeño y parecía que lo hubieran cortado por la mitad con un rayo lazer, el rebozado era unas tres veces más grueso que el pescado no estaba muy caliente lo mismo con papas fritas. También pedimos salsa de curry que tenía más grumos que una bolsa de frijoles. Me quejé del pescado y me dieron un reembolso. Noté que no estaba ocupado para la gente que come comidas y ahora puedo entender por qué. Sé que no es Cordon Bleu pero esperas algo parecido a la calidad, no vamos a devolver clientes, dale una falta

Got the steak melt and pulled pork nachos with chips and it was SO good. Chips were cooked perfectly, steak melt was SO tasty and the nachos were amazing. docked 1 star for missing drink though :/

Absolutely amazing will order again Thankyou ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Was really disappointed with my food from here today, having been told its great food big portions my friend and I received a cold burger and chips and a veggie burger you couldn't get your knife through. Drinks were fine but that was the only thing.

Cold. Refused to give refund when charged for drinks they didn’t come.

Worst food I’ve ever ordered on here. Meat was unrecognisable, over cooked to the point it literally could have been used to make shoes. Veg was worse than your granny’s boiled to mush state. Potatoes didn’t fair any better. Gravy was tasteless

Always had great service and really nice friendly staff

This bar used to be the ABC cinema no converted to fantastic bar eaterie The food was excellent we had home made steak pie chips and vegetables best I've had in a long time The prices of the drinks also were also cheaper than Edinburgh only £4-25 for pint of MADRI. £3-50 for 35ml capt Morgan and cola The staff were very friendly and helpful and when you finished your meal or drinks the dishes and glasses were cleared away promptly The bar staff served you quickly didn't leave you waiting standing about . We returned here after the game which we (Hearts won 6-0 ) it was really busy but this didn't seam to matter to the bar staff who were excellent the service was top class . All in all a totally wonderful place to visit one of the best bars I've visited can't wait for Hearts next game in Dundee so I can revisit this fine establishment Thank for making or day that bit better Donni

Waited nearly 2 hours on the food for the food to arrive inedible, the food has clearly been sat the whole waiting time on a heated plate making the food turn brick solid and unable to eat!!

Food good. But can of juice i ordered was not delivered. Poor.

Nice staff, reasonably priced. Good crowd.

The food looked delicious but the all day breakfast was very unpleasant for some reason the black pudding tasted off the egg was rubbery and so dry I ordered 4 cans of coke and I didn’t receive 4 cans I get that it was a mistake but there was just much wrong with this order for some reason the potatoes and cake was the best thing we ordered

Lovely cocktails at a great price.

Nice place staff and service were good. No complaints.

Desastre de un día, la mesa no está preparada. Una hora para esperar la sopa, el gerente perdió comidas reservadas. Una hora y media y todavía esperando comida. Ahórrate problemas y vete a otro lado. Absolutamente un desastre de una gestión. 🤬🤬

Atmosphere in the Market bar is very good therefore Saturday afternoon is very busy and they are not able to take your order for food if you didn't book a table in advance.

Good traditional food. Very good price. Good central location. Just spoiled by ubiquitous TV screens showing football football football. Is this really necessary on a Tuesday lunchtime?

The staff are miserable, the bar is miserable, and now I am, unsurprisingly, miserable.

The food was okay, but was served on cold plates which made it go cold very quickly, a bit disappointing.

Absolutely terrible. I could go into detail but it would take too long. Once is an off night but twice-to receive substandard food is just a no go. I dont know what has changed in the Market but we wont be ordering again.

Food was cold , delivery driver could not understand me had to give the code over and over again to the point I had to go show her the code

Had the special roast beef for two on the Monday. Absolutely fab!

The portion of peppered steak was disappointing and the potato skins were very small and the dip container had melted and sauce was over other containers, overall disappointing

The quality of the food was excellent, the best I have had from the Market. The delivery was very quick and a huge improvement from the previous order.

had a steak pie from here a few weeks ago and it was godly so decided to try it again for a wee late lunch today. Ordered myself a cold meat salad and chips and my partner a macaroni cheese. Cold meat salad was missing the chicken (tried to let just eat know but they only let me selectthe whole meal), the chips were stone cold and soggy, the roast beef tastes, looks and smells off and the egg on top had turned blue which really put me off the whole thing. mac n cheese bland. Stick to the steak p

Enjoyed breakfast. Bit puzzled that the wheelchair lift has a big toy grabbing machine in front of it, couldn't get my husband up to the bar area so had to stay near the door which was a bit soulless.

macaroni cheese was very dry and no flavour chips where hard ...all went in bin!!!!

Just want to say been going here for years I usually love it but have noticed the last few times it’s went down hill anyway this visit I ordered a draft coke I didn’t like the taste of it so I asked if I could swap for a can of coke and I’ll pay the difference the bar man handed me the coke said £2.20 I said yeh can I swap that as I didn’t like the coke he said yeh £2.20 like being sarcastic I was like right whatever paid it and just walked away ordered a steak pie it came the chips looked well under covered the person I was with a chips were crispy but tbh I was starving so started digging in, to my surprise I pulled a big piece of plastic out my mouth spat it out I called over the waitress she was lovely said she will get someone to come down about 15 mins past no one came I saw her walking past I said to her is someone coming she was surprised no one had spoken to me yet went away came back and told me I could have a replacement I said can I get a refund as iv been put off now not really wanting to take my chances, anyway went to bar asked for the refund same guy that served the coke he just gave me the refund didn’t apologise or nothing I assume he’s the manager he just seems like he’s raging or something, this is the bit of plastic I did get my refund it says takes 3-5 days. Hopefully just a one time mistake and bad day for them, but anyway

Absolutely amazing breakfast 😋

Its a brilliant pub. Staff are all really nice, food is brilliant. Plenty TV Screens showing football. :) Superb 👍

chips weren't the best but well worth the money

The Naan was burnt, the pakora was dry and tough and we had to wait longer for what was the worst meal I have ever had from the Market! Over £20 spent on an awful meal

Tuvimos frijol antes y era bueno, pero esta vez la comida estaba fría y el juego en casa tenía mala diarra después de esto, así que no volvería esto sucedió el 7 de octubre

piping hot delivered on time Kids loved it 👌

Quality of the food seems to have dropped severely, the hotdog bun burnt, chips soggy, haggis bites looked inedible, the batter greasy and dark.

Great pub food and very inexpensive. We had haddock and chips which arrived at the table piping hot. Lovely big fresh fillet of haddock in a crispy batter (not greasy) and chunky chips and a glass of wine all for £11.99 on their fish supper night (thursdays). Sports bar so tv around room showing 2 different sports channels. Clean and the staff were very polite.

order is usually 10/10 but this time it was 1/10. missing items, cold food and very poor customer service. I was promised a call back but nothing until kitchen was closed. really disappointed. won’t be back sadly.

Llegó la sopa y pudimos ver que se veía fría así que mi amigo la probó y estaba fría, la devolvieron y volvió mucho más caliente en platos de sopa calientes. Mi amigo pidió el panini de carne y queso que solo tenía 3 trozos pequeños de carne, yo tenía el panini de jamón y queso que estaba bien. Hemos estado antes y siempre fue bueno, pero después de esta visita no volveremos.

Food not as good as it used to be. 3 weeks ago had steak pie pastry poor and slightly burnt 28th September ordered 2 fish suppers batter soggy. Have had many meals there will now give it a miss

food was unedible, pastry rock hard, steak was burnt (black) chips and veg undercooked

lovely chicken tikka and accompilments. sticky toffee was excellent. very well packaged too.

best breakfast in Dundee, arrived piping hot, loved it 😋

A kind of sports bar. Lots of TVs. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lots of beers on tap including a few cask. Decent menu with a couple of vegetarian options. Food was fast and good. Kitchen open till 8:30pm if i remember right.

Sausages were weird. Also you need a code upon delivery and Justeat doesn’t tell u this! Bit of a faff

ordered extra chips with one of the meals but did not get. still got charged

Didn’t get any chips with my meal and steak was really chewy

salad ordered was fine but the potatoes that came with it were brown all the way through like they'd been in gravy. soup was OK, kids macaroni arrived minus the chip and it was well overcooked and dry. fudge cake was ok. delivery time kept changing and we waited longer than we would have thought

Great for a casual catch up. Food was good and arrived quickly.

Actually quite good, we always end up here first and always have a great time.. staff friendly

Great homemade food. Service is excellent. Large area so not too noisy.

Plenty of available seating for a Friday night. With lots of internal stairs. Order at the bar and service was relevantly speedy. The food portions were very generous, cooked to our liking. Quick to clear away between courses. Attentive staff asking if anything else was required after bringing each plate. Fresh cutlery for each course and fresh napkins too. Toilets were up even more stairs from the bar however there was a disabled toilet on bar level one flight of stairs up so not a good place for people with mobility issues. Place was lovely and clean and had a lovely open airy feel.to it. TVs were on and had no volume may I suggest putting subtitles on for anyone who wishes to watch the TV as different people socialize in different ways.

The steak pie is the best I’ve ever had. I’m wary of getting meat but there was no fat or grizzle. Best ever. Staff are really friendly no matter how busy the pub is

Yes really nice pub and food 5 stars ...regular customer ......

Dishonest drivers saying they delivered not the restaurant fault useless delivery driver never againg

All day breakfast was great. The lamb tikka masala - sauce tasted amazing but the lamb was really poor. Far too many fat rubbery bits making majority of the lamb inedible.

I went there to kill time. Had a date somewhere else later on. Can't believe how good a time I had. The staff were great, the locals were even better. I was there for only a couple of hours, food was good enough but the big thing was the people, they made me feel like I'd been one of them for years. So friendly. More than friendly. Awesome. I even sang a song. Love ❤🧡💛💚

Went for a meal last night 4 of us. First class service and food was amazing.

food normally good here but this time all the veggies were off gone bad

Burnt pasty, rock solid burnt steak, piddly amount of chips and peas. You’ve raised the price but not the quality. Poor.

market bar was amazing when i was in firat time being there food was awesome and service was awesome aswell will be back again

Always happy with my order. Good is delicious, the bacon and cheese potato skins are perfect. The macaroni with bacon bits is also very delicious <3

delivery was very quick food was hot but the taste in the food was very bland no flavour at all in the pepper steak melt

Overall a good place however I feel that they really need to update their menu as it has not really been changed in years in fact the menu has actually got significantly smaller over the past few years as they have completely removed their full breakfast and entire steak menus, i have actually messaged them on SM to suggest they add items to the menu such as gammon steak , ribs seafood ECT( which I got no response). Also they have has the SAME four desert choices for years which does not include pub favourites such fruit crumbles or pies. on the plus side the food they DO serve is good quality their Steak pie is delicious. the staff are are always friendly and helpful but the clean up of tables for next customers can be a little slow and the place settings are not laid for the next customers and are just brought to you after ordering. like I said previously a good place just needs the menu updating and to be run more like a restaurant with tables set and cleaned ready for next customers and the carpets need a good cleaning too. Also the disabled lift for wheelchair users has been broken for at least two years with NO prospect of it being fixed anytime soon so much so they have actually put an arcade machine in front of it leaving wheelchair uses NO access to the toilets at all

Food is good however missing a portion of chips we have to share the 1 portion that was sent

delivery was appallingly slow - I waited more than two hours from ordering and the estimated delivery time was put back NINE times. Needless to say, the chips - wrapped inadequately in a brown paper bag - were cold, limp, soggy and tasted of brown paper. Yuck. I am so sorry I ordered at all.

Food was excellent and hot . Perfect

Table 70 at 2:30 8th June. My wife ordered a steak Sandwich.. Came with no steak or cheese. The manager came over and agreed it wasn't good enough and would refund.. Never received a refund and walked out. Staff not interested

Just been in this place for lunch. Table 70 @ 2:30 7th June. My wife ordered a steak Sandwich. It came with no steak or cheese. Manager agreed that it wasn't good enough and we'd get a refund. Never received the refund. Staff unhelpful so walked out.

Always fresh! Always excellent service

Been ordering from here for good few years now and love it. The cheese & bacon potato skins are delicious, same with the macaroni with bacon..... Onion Bhajis and also sticky toffee pudding are very nice, definitely plenty of it :)....... only had an issue once in the 3 or 4yrs and was rectified quickly...... This is why I prefer to get from here, less mistakes. I've had to order more regular with not being able to get about much atm, so I like some place I can trust, Definitely recommend. :)

The steak pie the pastry was hard and burnt and some of the steak was burnt and I didn’t think the macaroni was worth 9.99

ask for no veg cot peas and carrot ruined my me

First time in there soup could have been a bit hotter apart from that will go back again

Food normally great here but tonight it wasburnt but somehow barely warm meat dried out and pastry tough didnt even eat dessert

Good food,nice drink selection,very good prices

Curry was great. Nan bread wasn’t cooked all the way through

That was the best Rogan Josh curry and rice I have ever had, and I've used many restaraunts in the Dundee area. Complments to the chef.

My carbonara was tasteless for me, plenty on the dish My wife asked if there was celery in the soup, she was assured there were none but, it had that taste so, she couldn't eat it.

Chicken was very dry and tough to eat. Fries looked like they were cooked and reheated. Not the best meal I’ve had from here. Disappointing

Visited twice recently for Monday lunch. Good menu choice, chose special Monday deal £6.99 for 2 starters (lentil soup) & baguettes, followed by 2 main courses £14.99 (scampi & macaroni cheese) food excellent, great Service. Worth a visit, definitely recommend. Other lunch deals available for seniors.

Definitely one to return to. Food was very good and competitively priced. With real ale and comfortable surroundings and pleasant staff it was an enjoyable experience. Arrived before midday when it was quite but within half an hour it was well filled.

2nd visit here for lunch, this time for a friend's birthday celebration. Super food with fantastic smiling service. Exciting specials too. Accomodating for a large group and would definitely visit again 💜

My partner and I had finished a shopping trip and understanding that this bar was "cheap and cheerful", before making the journey home we visited this establishment. While here, an individual called Sean approached us, who was evidently more than familiar with the young woman who said she was the manager. He openly told us that he frequently sold cocaine on the premises, showed my partner and I lewd images of 'partners' of his on his phone, and when he attempted to sell cocaine to us on the premises, I asserted that we did not wish to engage with him any further and we made a complaint to the young woman who was the manager. However, when we alerted her to the fact that 'Sean' was openly dealing class A substances on the premises, the young woman (apparently) in charge threatened us, was abusive to us, and both set her bouncer on us (who seemed sympathetic to us), and called the police on us (just to be clear: she did NOT call the police on 'Sean' who was openly attempting to sell cocaine in her establishment). My partner and I waited for the police to arrive. We remained on the premises and explained the situation, the abusive and aggressive nature of the manageress, the fact that cocaine was openly offered to us on the premises, and once we had filled them in we continued on our way home. This establishment is clearly corrupt to its core. What was meant to be one quiet drink before heading home in the early evening turned into an extremely ugly and disappointing situation during which my partner and I were not only targeted without provocation, but targeted for attempting to raise awareness to the management that class A substances were being sold on the premises. This was an unbelievably poor experience. I would recommend avoiding this establishment, not only because of the blatant acceptance of illicit activities on the premises but also due to the fact that the manageress behaved in a thuggish and entirely unprofessional manner.

Good meal, Nice to get water at the front desk. Would have loved if the tables were cleared for the next customer

Good food and a great place to watch sports.
