Dog Friendly — Pubs in Dundee

Jukebox

Originally in three parts, the 'Brig' has been refurbished into one large area, re-opening in December 2011 under the ownership of the Marr brothers. A welcome innovation was the introduction of 4 handpulls (real ale having not been seen here for many a year). Despite 2 handpulls on the bar, consistently no real ale from start of pandemic.

Dynamo

42 Union St, Dundee DD1 4BE

Re-opened in December 2018 after being closed for refurbishment as part of the Six Degree North Chain, this is a fine traditionally-furnished pub with a long bar, green leather seating, fine gantry, and decorative glass panels to the rear, giving the appearance of having not changed much for many decades. The exception being the 24 taps now along the bar with a large number of Belgian beers.

Evening Meals

Revived in late 2009 by Fuller & Thompson, this is now a smart establishment geared to live performances of music as well as food service throughout the day. A former school, the tables and chairs have a classroom feel about them. The unusual bar arrangement has 24 taps behind the staff with no fonts on the bar counter. The outside area is also much improved with tables, umbrellas and lights and BBQ feature.

Phoenix

103 Nethergate, Dundee DD1 4DH

One of Dundee's oldest pubs with sturdy wooden seats and tables and green leather benches giving the place character, along with a rare Ballingall Brewery mirror. Handy for the Rep Theatre, Dundee Contemporary Arts and Bonar Hall. Five ales on, and excellent pub food at conservative prices. Traditional pub, warm and cosy with great atmosphere and subdued lighting, like pubs used to be. Note that as food is fresh serving times may finish early in periods of high demand.

Pillars

9 Crichton Street, Dundee DD1 3AP

Real Cider Available

An institution for its loyal regulars, The Pillars was taken over by local character John Justice in late 2010, real ale then being introduced with one handpull. Orkney, Redcastle and Mor beers occasionally available usually at weekends. Interesting internal link behind neighbouring shop fronts to Salty Dog.
