The Phoenix in Dundee City

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.

Great food and amazing bar staff, after a few rounds the bar staff where telling me what the round was 👏👏👏

Great as ever! New owner behind the bar along with some stalwarts and new faces.

A great old pub with good beer and service to match.

Amazing food and a chilled atmosphere. No kids allowed. Small cosy pub been going here for years.

Drinks are full and food makes my belly full. Yum would recommend 😋

This pub is fantastic. The food was amazing, staff 👍 great.

My go to pub when in Dundee. Traditional old pub. Great choice of beers and (thankfully) the menu never changes . Would definitely be my local if I stayed here

A lovely pub with an excellent selection of ales, beers and other drinks. Great service. Friendly staff. Very kind with dogs. Ales well looked after.

Cracking pub. Good atmosphere. Good selection of cask beer.

Rude. What kind of pub doesn't know how to make a black velvet? Very disappointed. I was excited to visit this place. Oh well.

Brilliant few pints enjoyed. Timothy Taylors was exceptional. Brilliant service.

Great place, food always good and plenty of it.

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👍

Great service. Good choice. Lovely staff!

Great pub. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and good service

What a fantastic pub. Top service, great atmosphere. Highly recommend frequenting this place.

Was only in as a friend recommended it, had drinks only but food looked great, plenty of taps on bar, friendly staff. My first visit but certainly not the last.

Brilliant! Great Real ale beers. Great staff, great pub

Food was good, came out very quickly. Great atmosphere as always. Fantastic selection of draught beers.

Great pub. Great pub grub. And beer

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. :)

Probably the best pub I've been to. Good atmosphere, good food and a large selection of drinks that are not expensive at all. Kudos to Dundee and Phoenix for a great time. greetings from Croatia

warm cosy atmosphere and friendly staff

Lovely trad pub with excellent real ale. Noone was here to watch the football, it's a great pub, thats the draw. So why have the volume for the footie turned up to 11 when the pub is enough on it's own? Otherwise 5*

Great food, chilli burger was awesome 👌, great service also.

I love this bar. Old school, with booths to nestle in and tables to chat. Sports on and a lovely, homely, arty decor. It attracts all ages and does good food. The music is good and the staff are friendly. Exactly the kind of place to have as a Local.

Go here whenever I'm in Dundee. The best chilli burger ever. Chilli is spicey and extremely tasty. Perfectly matched with their "Ganga Fries"

Great wee pub with a good lunch menu. Dogs are allowed.

This is a go to pub for me when in Dundee on a day out, really quaint, old fashioned pub with a decent selection drink wise. Nice atmosphere and staff are usually pleasant. One of these days I will try to have a meal here.

Lovely corner pub with various seating areas, including 'booths', several real ales on handpump and Leffe on draught. Nice buzzing atmosphere, can get very busy. Friendly and helpful service.

An excellent night out location, we were celebrating.

Best pub I visited in Dundee for real Ales and atmosphere. The staff were brilliant, and I felt like a regular after my first visit. Highly recommended! I didn't try the food, but other people gave good feedback on it.

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.

Old fashioned pub with a fantastic atmosphere good food with great portions😋😋😄😄

Excellent pub with good selection of beers and spirits.

Great pub,took our friends who are from Aberdeen here,they loved it!

Always a great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Best pub in the town for a pint and food. Always a nice atmosphere whenever I go in and the staff are friendly.

Great food and brilliant atmosphere

In the top 2 best pubs in Dundee - chilli with ganga chips is fabby!

Best pub food in Dundee by miles .

Excellent pub, everything is very reasonably priced food is fantastic and the bar staff are very friendly.

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.

Spent a lovely few hours here surrounded by friendly locals, lots of drinks options, and the food was absolutely cracking. I had the plant based burger and a huge portion of chips to go with - really tasty and great value for money!

It's a nice pub, well decorated, it wasn't too loud, you could hear your friends even though there was music.

Cracking old school pub, never had food but, the menu looks good. Was in again yesterday, different bar staff than on previous visits, old dear behind the bar seemed to be having a bad day.

Fab old style boozer, just popped in for drinks but they have a huge food menu too

Fantastic beer and fantastic food

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.

Easily the best pub in Dundee! Great atmosphere, beautiful pub and great staff! Highly recommend!

Nice friendly place with friendly people

Fabulously dog friendly pub! Great staff

Really nice place to chill n relax....

Very much enjoy coming to the Phoenix at lunchtime for good!

Proper place to truly go back in time. It is such a friendly environment to sup a pint. Nothing beats sitting at the actual bar itself next to one of your pals and just talking for the rest of the night. In addition the chicken wings and food in general is stupendous.

Classic, old school Scottish pub. Great atmosphere, decor what you'd expect in a traditional boozer and prices reasonable. Burger buns way too dry, but the burgers still tasty. Could happily spend another afternoon there...🍻

Classic trad bar with great beer, food and service.

Great meals if you can get a seat had a beer ended up at old Jimmy chungs then st David's 😀

Best chilli burger and fries in Scotland. Great pint.

What a pub. Beer selection was great and fairly priced and the service was flawless, although the real highlight was the food. Possibly the best pub food I've ever had plus the atmosphere was great.

Great proper pub, great food had great banter with bar staff in Saturday past. Very friendly place. Love it

If only all pubs were run like this. Table was cleaned before we sat down and beers were served in the correct branded glasses. Understandably popular and great ales. Didn’t eat there but food looked good.

Great pub. Traditional, good beer, great staff and decent pub grub

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.

Busy busy as always.. Nice buzz about the place... Just great fun trying to weave to the toilets without spilling someone's drink!

No food, just beer's, whisky & gin, great service in a good old Dundee pub.

An excellent pub, good beers, good people, traditionally styled.

One of Dundee's best pubs with oodles of character. Good food and we'll kept cask ales. Never disappoints.

Enjoyed my lager, just about as good as the Crown

Always a pleasure to visit the Phoenix...Quality and Ambience first class

Cracking old pub - virtually unchanged since my late teenage years with a grand selection of beers and lager! 👍

The Pheonix Bar is a Dundee institution. It has a prominent place in the bar industry within the city. The original decor helps to add to the ambience along with the eclectic mix of clientele. Staff within the premises are always friendly and helpful. The food is proper pub grub and the curly fries are a must have. Dogs are also allowed 🐕

Beautiful old pub. It's a must visit if you are in Dundee.

Gracias por hacernos sentir muy seguros y bienvenidos. La comida, el servicio y la cerveza fueron todos de un nivel excepcional y esperamos volver pronto. Gracias por todo su arduo trabajo y le deseamos todo lo mejor. Rab y Gilly

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.

Visited this pub 18 years after my last visit and pleased to see it has kept all its charm. Will defo make a point of going again on my next trip.

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.

Simply how a pub should be, great choice of quality beers and good simple pub food menu. No fuss, but friendly and with an authentic pub atmosphere.Great place to meet and relax with friends. All our visitors love this place.

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.

We visited on a Tuesday lunchtime for a quick bite. Good choice of food at very reasonable prices and a very friendly atmosphere. Good old fashioned pub, would definitely return

We were with 2 couples and enjoyed lovely meals. The portions were good and come at a decent price. The beer was bra and the service was excellent.

Popped in for a quick pint and found it to be very friendly and excellent food. Good old fashion pub that are slowly dying off

Having visited with friends asked at 7pm Tuesday 30 April to order food. Fat male barman with dark greying hair and beard advised they were busy and no longer serving food. Then proceeded to watch as numerous customers came in afterwards and ordered and were served food. Having come here for lunch for years, worst customer service I’ve ever encountered!

Loved this pub when we visited Dundee - late on a Sunday night the place was hiving with a great atmosphere. Quite oldie worldly and authentic- it works!

Really good pub with a nice atmosphere. Great selection of drinks and a wide menu to pick from. Defo a pub I will try again

The Pheonix is a really down to earth little pub with big portions of tasty pub food. Before going I read some reviews saying the staff were unfriendly but they were nothing of the sort. The service was great and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the barman even told me the history of the building and showed me some old photos when I inquired!

Friendly Auld pub , enjoyed ambience and the layout of this wee boozer . The furnishings are nice and old and comfy with the little booths adding to the atmosphere . Good selection of drinks .

A great place for a pint with a good selection of beers and quiet corners for a natter. But you have to be able to get in!!!

A good choice of cask ales. The local brew Mor ticia which was deviously dark and delicious. Authentic original decor in a relaxed earthy environment.

Good value for money meal in quite a quirky but traditional pub. Bar staff very welcoming and knowledgeable about the beer. Burgers to be recommended- plenty of chips!

Fui allí el año pasado para un almuerzo de Navidad y el Steak Oie fue increíble. Tan bueno, de hecho, volvimos de nuevo este año y tuvimos el Steak Pie nuevamente. desafortunadamente fue una experiencia totalmente diferente esta vez. El pastel de carne estaba realmente seco, al igual que el enorme pudín de Yorlkshire. Ambos podrían haberlo hecho con un poco de salsa. Nueva sede el año que viene.

Salir a almorzar con mi esposa. Mi esposa pidió goujons de pollo con ajo y una porción de aros de cebolla y para mí una baguette de pollo y tocino y una pinta de papas fritas. La comida llegó después de unos 5 minutos y estaba delicioso. No hay problemas con el servicio, la calidad de la comida o la limpieza. En general una comida agradable, grandes porciones y nos fuimos muy contentos. Sigan trabajando bien el personal de Phoenix. ?

Visitamos el fin de semana, y después de registrarnos con el barman, ¡nos encantó descubrir que este pub ahora admite perros!

A great bar to meet up with friends and have lunch. Good service and good price. It was very busy at 15:00 which may have been due to the Rugby being on TV.

La persona con la que estuvimos había estado en el pasado y la había disfrutado. 1 calle nos detuvo en torno a la mesa que elegimos a continuación cuando pedimos agregar bebidas a nuestra cuenta de comida muy groseramente nos dijeron que no. Cuando pedimos comida, salió individualmente y nos tomó una edad para que todos obtuviéramos todo. El pescado y las papas fritas eran realmente sabrosos, pero la sopa minestrone era como una lata de tomates que se habían calentado y arrojado a un bol. No volvera
