The Artic Bar in Dundee City

very dark & dull place to go for a drink, however the staff & most of the clientele are welcoming and friendly

Ended up here as was bursting for the loo. No words to describe - Luke some out of deliverance! Could get the antibacterial hand gel on quick enough as we left!

Como Dundoniano viviendo lejos de Dundee 4 casi 30 años. . Me da vergüenza decir que no descubrí esta pequeña joya escondida hasta este año. . el sábado pasado como una mujer solitaria que disfruta de una copa de vino después de ir al centro de la ciudad por una ganga. . Participó en una gran copa de vino tinto. ? o dos a las 4 pm. . Personal muy acogedor. . y para un pub en el centro de la ciudad. . muy hogareño . y para colmo, comenzó una gran banda en vivo (Not in your face loud). . ¿Muy adecuado para los compradores que solo quieren tener algunos antes de ir a casa a un sábado por la noche mirando estrictamente? y para eliminar la culpa de las compras que han realizado. .

El Arctic Bar probablemente se describe mejor como una vieja escuela, pub de hombres de trabajo. Es muy realista y parecía haber un buen número de clientes habituales cuando visité. Es un pub que se remonta a los días en que Dundee era famoso por la caza de ballenas, yute y mermelada. El interior es bastante básico, pero estoy bastante seguro de que puede obtener una pinta decente allí (conducía en la noche cuando lo visité, así que no puedo decir con certeza). En general, es el tipo de pub que me gusta. Está lleno de personajes extravagantes y sin pretensiones, ¡y eso está bastante bien para mí!

Afuera muy desagradable pero bien adentro! Muy buen menú y buen servicio selección justa en el pórtico y un montón de cervezas. ¡Pub centralizado en un callejón con algunos personajes poco fiables que podrían disuadir a algunos clientes potenciales!

Wont lie , I have used this pub fer years, anytime I'm in town an in need of a small libation , this is always front of mind.

The bar person made no effort to make us welcome. No smile or anything. Afternoon clientele a bit scary. A drunken man sat next to us even though the pub was almost empty. Read the previous reviews. I wouldn't entertain eating here.

were badly let down at a previous bar prebooked for hen party,,so trooped of in search of somewhere to accommodate 26 of us at short notice,the manageress Theresa was brilliant,very accommodating,rustled up a few nibbles at short notice,started karaoke for us,had a dance etc,altoghter a good fun evening

Went on a coach tour and we were booked into the Arctic Bar for dinner at five o'clock. The meals were cold and more or less chucked at you. Had read the reviews before we went but it was worse than i imagined. The place is dull and dingy and smells .The barman was surly and had a could not care less attitude. Never again!!!!!

Dark and dinghy pub. Greeted with bar man asking "what you want" as if we were annoying him. Pint of lager was ok but clientele and state of the pub was up there with the most unwelcoming I've ever came across. I will remember but all for the wrong reasons. Avoid.

Visited for lunch, menu for seniors available at good price, also good for quick snacks. Friendly staff, good portions

Was extremely disappointed in the meal, my friend had steak pie and I had the curry, my friend left more than half of her meal which is unlike her as she always eats everything, she said the meat tasted as if it came out of a tin and my curry was very bland. Would not go back for another meal.

The individual who started this topic can't spell - the name is ARCTIC, and believe me, it's well named - the big wall heater I sat beside for warmth surely hadn't been switched on since Prohibition. Having perused the menu outside, in I went. Miserable looking place although the eaterie was clean. Friendly staff; breaded fish, peas and chunky chips were piping hot and tasty. I do prefer my chips to be a bit browner, but at least they weren't greasy. This came with bread and Flora, a pot of the worst tea I have EVER tasted - or in this case, NOT tasted - and an enormous thick mug which should be used only for coffee or hot chocolate. The Tudor Rose tearoom this ain't! There was light-hearted banter between staff and a few young mums, which helped take my mind off the decor. Will I return? Unlikely - unless I'm dressed for the Real Arctic! .

One of the very few places one can still get a pie and a pint. Home cooked food at very reasonable prices. In my husband's opinion one of the best pints of 80/- in Dundee. Very friendly staff.

interesting bouquet as soon as you walk in the door....had to go to the toilet for a breath of fresh air...

Taken here by locals later in the night who apologised in advance - karaoke on offer, occasionally live music, there is a pool table - older pub, personally we loved it!

El hotel de cinco estrellas es crítica, lo admito, más porque mi amiga y yo a menudo frecuentan este lugar al final de una noche y hay una cierta cantidad de nostalgia al lado. Las bebidas son baratos y el ambiente en general es agradable (excepto por un par de veces nos asustaron y mi amiga fue perseguido por la calle fuera por algún chico que quería matar después de que él estaba charlando con su hija después de una dura sesión en particular un martes por la noche). Sin duda probarlo al menos una vez.

You're guaranteed a good night at The Artic.Friendly welcome.Cheap and great pint of Heavy.And a good sing song.

Well folks... I can't give an honest review regarding the Bar meals in the Arctic Bar because i haven't had a meal there since it was taken over but what i can say is the pub is one of the best places to be. Myself and my friend drink there every weekend. The bar staff are very friendly and the regulars are nice. We only started drinking there about a year ago and were accepted as a regular when we started going in every weekend. We go in for the karaoke which is great fun. Sonia does a good job with it. You have a good old sing along with the regulars who come in just to have a good song and a banter with others.It's a cheery pub and well worth a visit.I certainly enjoy my nights in there and would recommend it to anyone who likes a warm atmosphere with friendly bar staff and friendly customers.... Way to go Arctic Bar.

i went there with my partner on our first date and we were served fish and chips and the chips were half frozen in the middle and lights were out so very dark think they didnt have lights on so couldnt see what they were giving you as a meal

The only fault that I have with the artic bar is its location, its out of the way, so not so easy to find off by heart, it could do with some interior update, but they do amazing steak pie

Me and my wife went to the artic bar for our lunch on Saturday 4 may ,we had the best lunch we have had in a pub for a long time the service was excellent the food was hot and it was well priced I had breaded mushroom with salad for a starter then beef olives with chips and carrots/peas and a can of coke my wife had soup/roll scampie with chips pees/carrots garlick bread and black currant/water we also asked for an extra pâté off chips all really hot and all for £18.55 the staff where really friendly I will definitely be going back to the article for lunch

food was burnt on outside but frozen inside, tinned vegetables used, you could see the staff bring in farmfoods bag with the frozen food, bar staff a disgrace, "jackie" or whatever her name is, most vulgar,big boobed, ugliest barmaid in history! her chest kept falling out of the low cut top she was wearing, it was the worst bar lunch in history, had half a dozen chips then left, pint glass was dirty as well, when i asked for a clean glass , i got a dirty look from the scrubber behind the bar, honestly save your money , walk round the corner, get a macdonalds or a kfc,plus if you buy a happy meal from macdonalds you will at least come out with a toy and a smile!!

Busy central pub with o.k food and cheap prices. Problem is it attracts cheap drink clientele. Good atmosphere though.

The meal was of a very poor standard, cheap frozen products were used. Will never use this establishment again.

we visited the artic bar and ordered 3 steak pies. when the food came it was unedible. pastry was stone cold beef was warm and dry, veg was tinned peas & carrots.The only thing that was hot was the chips. The waitress kept walking past and she could see our plates were full but completely ignored us until i asked her to come over. She said she would speak to the chef and came back and said he would be out in a couple of mins. In the meantime my friend and i went to the toilets and they were disgusting and my friend was physically sick. In the meantime another 15 mins had passed and no sign of any chef. I then went up to where the food is ordered and said i couldn't wait any longer. While i was waiting i noticed the dust was thick on the wood. The chef eventually came out with an attitude and said he had sold another 4 steakpies that day and no complaints. There was no refund given as you have to pay when you order and he actually tutted at me when i walked away

Full of wonderful interesting characters who would make anyone feel at home.

In the town centre so easy to get to and great for lunchtime snacks and family friendly

The Artic Bar has been open for as long as I can remember, hidden up the end of a fairly dingy looking pendy. Inside things look quite run down though the place is tidy enough. The kitchen side more resembles a greasy spoon that it does a pub to be honest. I've eaten here a few times now and I can quite happily recommend the food. Quite standard pub menu, nothing fancy, but it's bloody good stuff. All tastes home made, very reasonably priced and the boy behind the bar is brilliant. Would definitely go back. It's exactly what you're looking for when you for a 'pub lunch'.
