It's quite a unique pub in Dundee I think. I'm willing to bet it hasn't changed much in the last 50 years, very traditional. Great pub grub, I mean, where else are you going to get a pint of chips? Well worth a visit, give our a go. Oh, and it's walking distance from the new, world class, V&A.

Popped into The Phoenix at lunchtime before going to the DCA to watch a film. A nice, traditional pub, friendly, professional staff, very welcoming. Background music was a good mix of music and not too loud, just right. Bar menu was quite comprehensive, good selection to please everyone. I had a filled roll with a side of chips and a glass of red. Nae issues, well made, well presented and a good price. No fuss, no frills, perfect. Will definitely go back and recommend, local pals also recommended The Phoenix as a decent place for pub grub and a drink. 10/10👍

Looking for a pub to have a drink after taking in some of the sites of Dundee and found the Phoenix. So glad we did. Lovely old pub. Full of locals who didn’t mind a couple of tourists enjoying a pint in their great pub.

Been years since i visited here, luvly friendly welcoming staff. Place hasn't changed since the last time I was there. But sadly now needing a bit of TLC, decor, furnishings, seating ladies. etc. Owner has now seemingly sold the pub so perhaps not willing to update before selling. Still a great pub tho, great atmosphere and tasty food, we njoyed scampi and chips, garlic mushrooms and a pudding, food was delicious and plenty of it. Hopefully the new owners will manage to retain the atmosphere and still have it as a great warm friendly Dundee bar. :)

First visit to this pub just a short walk from the railway station. Quite busy on arrival and a very pleasant cheery Barmaid to greet us . A fairly extensive menu with some specials on a board to tantalise our tatsebuds A nice Mushroom & Leek and garlic soup. Excellent. An array of chips were on offer ...to accompany a lovely Chicken Maryland. Finished off with a lovely Sticky Toffee pudding Very competitively priced ... Will definitely return.

I have been a patron of the pub for over 30 years and the food has always been fantastic especially the burgers, but today one of our party ordered a pizza and OMG the dough and crust were so tough and hard they couldnt eat it, the fillings fell off the pizza and the whole thing was not cut to be able to pick up the slices, very disappointed with the pizza.

A great man once said "decent boozer". He couldn't be anymore correct. Great ales and a wide selection of lager. Reasonably priced. Toilets are great for hiding in (if you're blind) and if you find yourself in here on a Friday, you have the pleasure of watching at least one bloke pass out on account of their liking of decent ales.

Very strange place. Proper old fashioned boozer which normally I love but this place just did not hit the spot. No option to taste an ale before buying and seemed set in the dark ages. Dark and dingy and could do with a refresh especially the toilets. All that I could forgive if our custom was appreciated. Iconic place apparently but missed the mark for us.

I had some time to kill so I dropped into the Phoenix for a pint. About a half hour later, I finished my drink and started to put my jacket and hat on. The bartender and his companion were at the far end of the bar at that time. They saw me getting ready to leave and by the time I got my jacket on, they both scurried down to my end of the bar and ganged up on me. They aggressively started to mock me in front of a room full of patrons for only having one pint. I have never been treated this way in a UK pub before by the management. It was shocking and disgusting. They were very aggressive towards me. I will never go back.

This pub has a great selection of real ales and excellent food at good prices - the ganga curly fries were especially good (and as spicy as advertised!). The service was quick and efficient despite the fact that the pub was full up almost from opening time.There was a bit of a shortage of ciders on tap so if that's your tipple you'd have to go with a bottle.Interesting decor and appeared to be nice and clean too. Would definitely come back here if in Dundee again.

From the outside, the Phoenix is the archetypical old fashioned Scottish bar, and looks as welcoming as a punch in the face. Please don’t let that put you off however, because the Phoenix is everything a pub should be.This place has a wonderful, traditional pub decor. It also has exceptionally good service and a great atmosphere. You really couldn’t ask for a better pub.

This real old traditional pub never changes, it is just as it was decades ago. A proper, traditional pub with all the stained glass, long bar, booths to sit in, wooden floors. Filled with character. Good selection of Scottish drinks. Very close to the centre of town. Normal bar prices.Well worth a visit for those who enjoy real pubs.

Este es un pub tradicional adecuado. Un montón de madera oscura, asientos de cuero profundos para banquetes divididos por pantallas de snob de vidrieras, una interesante colección de decoración de cerveza y cervecería entremezclada con piezas más eclécticas como ciervos rellenos y cabezas de bisonte y un magnífico servicio de bar adornado con espejos de vidrio grabado.Oferta de bebidas variadas que incluye cinco bombas de cerveza real que funcionan, lo que hace que Phoenix sea uno de los mejores pubs de Dundee para elegir para el bebedor de cerveza. Junto a un par de regionales en forma de Deuchars IPA de Caledonian y Timothy Taylor's Landlord había tres de cervecerías escocesas más pequeñas en forma de Redcastle Brewery Nobleman, Strathbraan 80 bob y Wooha Brewing Porter. El 80 bob estaba bien cuidado, al igual que el Porter, que era excelente.Solo estuvimos aquí por la cerveza, así que no puedo juzgar la comida y los niveles de servicio que experimentamos fueron perfectamente buenos y corteses.Esta fue una muy buena visita de pub para nosotros, así que calificaremos en consecuencia.

Tan bueno, de hecho, volvimos de nuevo este año y tuvimos el Steak Pie nuevamente. desafortunadamente fue una experiencia totalmente diferente esta vez.

We only called in for a meal on a Thursday night, early evening. We were made very welcome and the service was excellent. So much so we went back on Friday. It was heaving on Friday but food and service were exemplary apart from our rice in the curry which was a touch undercooked.
