The Speedwell Bar in Dundee City

Visited with friends after eating nearby. Friendly staff, managed to get a seat, in wee lounge, nice atmosphere, nice pictures of bridge and harbour area, njoyed our drinks and visit. :)

Very busy place but nice and pleasant staff clean nice little pub

Fantastic traditional bar in Dundee with a friendly mixed crowd and a lovely buzz about the place. Bar staff were great and I thoroughly enjoyed my glass of Porretti.

A true gem of a pub. Just dropped in for a drink after work, and my heart was warmed. Fab atmosphere, one of the locals was having a birthday. The efficient, dedicated bar men served me a pint of Tim Taylors ale that was so good it took me back to my youth. Felt welcomed and comfortable. If only this was my local!

Never had food! However, drinks were served quickly even though the bar was fairly crowded. The beers were reasonably priced and there were several different draft beers on tap to choose from. There was also a few different Rum options.

Have real ales, not the best range in the area

Best pub in Dundee. Was always a bar and has kept the Victorian features with a wide selection of beers and shelves well-stocked with single malts. A firm favourite with Welsh people.

A great pub. The best 80 shilling I've had in a long time!

Amazing little gem. Great selection of beers and whisky. Friendly staff great prices. Would come back in a heartbeat defiantly visiting next time I'm in town

This is an excellent bar dating from the Edwardian era. A brilliant range of beers are served and well kept here. Good place to watch sports and sit in good company. Genuinely one of my favourite bars anywhere. Staff are superb. Can't fault the place Also great on a sunny day. You can sit outside and watch the Perth Road go by.

Great old bar. Super busy and lovely inside. Everybody is happy and friendly inside.

Good atmosphere and usually some good well managed real ale

Dundee's best pub, beautifully traditional looking both inside and out with wooden panelling and in the lounges which are cosy rooms off the main bar. The pub appearance is trad however the beer choice is vibrant with modern craft beers alongside the cask ales. There's is food too which was fresh/ hand made. Atmosphere excellent with a good mix of young and old people.

I am never disappointed by this bar. Great beers, friendly and efficient staff, buzzing atmosphere, and reasonable prices.

Great venue for watching football, we were in the room through the back a couple of Sundays before Xmas and had a cracking afternoon.

Great real ale bar with good beer, friendly service, good clientele & cosy snugs.

Great selection of beers and spirits. Lovely atmosphere and friendly welcome

Traditional pub with very good selection of drinks and good service. Excellent choice of malt whiskies. Small selection of excellent toasties with tea or coffee if requested. Can be busy but bar area is reasonably large with two room off to sit in.

Very busy on Sat evening but very friendly

Great pub. Excellent staff, wide selection of drinks.

Busy old bar on the Perth Road with emphasis on busy and old. Proper old school pub known by everyone as ‘Mennies’ after a former owner. Professional staff, tons of TVs, live music and little snugs. Full of locals and maybe the odd student. By far the busiest pub on the Perth Road during the week.

First time been in this pub and really friendly reminds me of my local pub in stonehaven. Hopefully will be back soon 👍

Best pint of 80 in a long time.

Fab traditional pub not far from Dundee centre. Massive whisky selection so worth a visit if you are in one of the local hotels. Also has some great tourist pamphlets, make sure you pick up the Dundee art walls one.

Amazing, favourite Bar in Dundee

Always a great experience here!

Great place to meet up with friends and have a catch up and a few beers. Always a very busy pub with a great atmosphere 👍

Great family pub. Properly good staff and the owner is class. It’s got a classic interior and is a Dundee staple. Taps are really good and the local taps are well worth checking out!

Atmospheric pub with charm in the west end of Dundee. When it is half full, it has a lovely buzz. The separate rooms and TVs with the sound down means that it’s good to just sit about and talk. Sensibly small selection of real ales that are really well kept; can see why the bar has won awards. Seems to always have one local beer on (and often one from Hales based south of the border). Their ham and cheese toastie is also a step ahead.

Very nice surroundings, lovely and quiet no noise! Staff friendly.

Always a good pint, and such a nice pub to sit in

Really nice traditional pub, pop in of you're passing

Different types of Ale's every week. Depending on popularaty & reasonably priced

staff are brilliant, lighting is exceptional, lovely venue

Friendly staff nice atmosphere.

A institutional bar on the Perth Road.A huge selection of drinks always busy.

Always a pleasure to step into Mrs Mennies and enjoy a pint or two of 70 shilling ale.

If you want real pub experience, with is regulars, and old original architectural features, this is the one... The only pub in Dundee I really enjoy going to! It's a nice atmosphere, good, mix crowd of people, friendly staff...

If you want the quintessential Scottish pub experience it’s a must: fiercely loyal customers, cosy snug and bar, massive selection of beer, whisky and gin.

Excellent pub with an excellent, varied, clientele. Been drinking there for many years and the present Landlord has worked very hard to maintain the pub's past high standards. Friendly staff who treat everyone with respect and make them feel welcome. Dundee"s best pub by a mile. 29/12/2022 - still going strong.

Very busy but very friendly and fast service from the team last night

Popular bar showing sporting events. A couple of JW Lees (Greater Manchester) beers were on offer on hand pump. I would visit again

Best pub on Perth road! Beautiful interior, attentive staff and welcoming clientele

Great pub and a nice atmosphere

Friendly staff and patrons, large whisky selection.

Absolutely lovely pub definitely worth the walk 🤗

Just as good as ever, fantastic 80shilling and a good choice of Glendronachs. Sitting outside, one of tables looks straight down a street to rail bridge.

Jumping, good atmosphere, friendly staff

Good view of the Scotland game :)

A really nice place to have a drink olde world e with a lovely atmosphere

Friendly staff, great beer and great selection of drinks

Great atmosphere and live music on a Tuesday night

Best pub in Dundee. Great beer and friendly service

A great bar with great service and drinks

Too busy. No mask wearing and foul smell from toilets. Won't be back.

Recommended as THE definitive old-school Dundee pub by a cabbie. Good call. It’s everything you’d want from a proper boozer.

It's a bit of a walk out of town but we'll worth it. Lovely bar, good prices, excellent bar staff. 71 brewing is not too far and can be on way back in to town. Do both and enjoy your fitness regime.

I visited the place with a friend who had not been in the bar for 40 years. She described it as a real pub. Indeed it was. Excellent service and reasonably priced. The side room, we were in had beautiful oak panelling and was occupied by about 6 young men on their way to London for England v Scotland football. They were full of fun. A great pub. I hope to be back

A great bar with a great selection of whiskues

Service was fantastic in such challenging times. Very COVID complaiant whilst staff maintained a high level of service, well done.

Company great! Weather variable.

Very safe and controlling the virus , both staff, test and trcace registration and good barrier separation.

Great pub brilliant atmosphere, nice bar staff

Old world vibe. Staff are very attentive

Wonderful old fashioned whiskey bar with dozens of different whiskies and a very welcoming old fashioned feel to it. Divided into different bars like the old days; cosy and atmospheric; excellent staff. A little gem.

Currently shipping in this long-established bar in the West end of this beautiful city which is a very popular drinking spot with very friendly knowledgeable staff and packed to the gunwales at the weekends. A great selection of spirits and beers.

Classy old pub with great staff. Edwardian bar and great atmosphere

Fantastic architecture, original fittings and great proper beer. XX

Worth seeking out to see a traditional Edwardian interior... slightly spoilt by the fruit machine. Quality ale on offer.

Vast selection of liquors and the staff are friendly and attentive

Mennies is the BEST bar in Dundee. It just goes to show how successful a place can be when it's freehold, and properly managed!!

Essential part of the Perth Road "crawl".

My experience of Mennies is always the same, always brilliant. Dumb question😄

Nice atmosphere and prompt service make this bar a Perth road must visit. Cheers!

Great atmosphere, pleasant staff with a friendly welcome.

Deservedly busy pub on the westbound road, a mile out of Dundee centre. Near to university too, so it benefits from that trade as well. The building and its interior is of national importance, so you will be able to admire many original features and fittings from the mid 1800s. The beer offering is no piece of history however, as six or seven cask beers from across the country are usually served. Get here early as the place is often packed. Highly recommended.

Popped in for a few beers on a Tuesday . Cracking old pub.

Lovely bar, good choice of beers, quick service although it was busy, Edwardian style interior which has been looked after, well worth the visit.

Warm friendly good beer and exellent choise of spirits especialy whiskys well known for them.

A great Dundee bar 1 of my favourites

Still a great pub selling superb mcewans 80 shilling ale!!

My favourite bar in all the world!

Always a real treat to visit when we're in Dundee. Great atmosphere, such a brilliant variety of drinks and superb staff.

Great beer good service and at a good price

The Speedwell, or 'Mennie's' is a Dundee institution! A very atmospheric bar with good trad music sessions on a Tuesday night. The whisky selection is superb; if you're a gin or rum drinker you're well enough catered for too.

Good bar. Couple of side rooms and good cheap beer.

Great wee pub, good service, good pint.

Lovely traditional Edwardian bar that is worth going out of your way to sample the huge variety of spirits and ales delivered with superb service.

A Dundee institution but a pub I am can never make my mind up about.

Friendly. Wide selection of malt whisky and beers. Very good staff.

Great relaxing bar with an amazing whiskey list.

Like any other pub nothing special

I tried a few, but this was my favourite pub in Dundee! Good selection of beers, amazing collection of whisky, friendly staff and a real authentic feel. Worth hunting down!

As always, friendly service, good company, bring your own food and share. Thanks again Karen.

Great classic pub with lots of whisky and some proper cask ales.

Great traditional bar... Huge range of whisky, gin and decent range of rums, vodka and mixers. Great range of beer including real ale and craft beers on draught and bottled. TV showing football, rugby. Always busy.

Traditional Scottish bar with various snug rooms and long bar . Good selection of craft beer and extensive choice of whisky. Good atmosphere mixed age groups . TV for football but not intrusive.

Busy traditional pub with good selection of whisky and beer

Great wee bar. Lots of craft beers on tap & in bottles. Fantastic atmosphere.

Great pub, gets really busy over the weekend
