J Cheever Loophole Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Heading up on Saturday by train and before I Google a pub crawl route,I would be very much obliged if any KBers could recommend pubs to have pint in or pubs to avoid. I once had a night pubbing and clubbing in Dundee,when the wife was under the impression I was fighting off midges,fishing up at Loch Awe but that was many years ago though.

Frews bar near Dens park always lets away fans in through the back lounge. Also had pies on before the game too. As for Dundee centre im not too sure. Id say avoid the Centenery bar at the top of the hill at Dens park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambovambo Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 The Trades, opposite the big shopping centre, is great The Speedwell Bar on the Perth Roas (fair walk from the ground though) is great too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leginten Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 The Trades, opposite the big shopping centre, is great The Speedwell Bar on the Perth Roas (fair walk from the ground though) is great too The Speedwell is the best bar I know in Dundee by a country mile. It's also one of the few that has decent ales. By the way, for any aficionados of the remarkable Tay Bridge Bar (also on the Perth Road): it's currently closed for refurbishment, or at least it was a couple of weeks ago.

Manny1874 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 The Trades, opposite the big shopping centre, is great The Speedwell Bar on the Perth Roas (fair walk from the ground though) is great too If your getting the train then Trades is for sure your best bet, it also has a taxi rank outside it, its got a good selection of drinks. The Phoenix aswell is pretty good if a little small. Its on the same road as Trades but further away from the ground up near the University.

jambovambo Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Oh aye - the Phoenix - that's another good one. Last time I was in the Speedwell (or Mrs Mennie's as it is known to locals) it had Belgian fruit beer on draught. Mmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netherleejambo Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Speedwell is by far the best - although the last time I was in there was 1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_C Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 As mentioned Trades Bar is a good pub, Pheonix and I also like Braes on Perth Rd too. Tickety Boos is a decent boozer down toward Seagate as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
