The Bank Bar

Reviewed By AnnaC667

Our first outing back here since lockdown. Four of us and a dog, we booked a table in advance. Staff were great, food was great.. even the dog ate most of his sausages (which we didn't expect - chosen from the main menu without mash, just for him) so a thumbs up from him too!! We will be back! We stayed longer than anticipated and had a few more drinks too.. all good!

The Speedwell Bar

Reviewed By johnhouston2 - Knaresborough, United Kingdom

The Speedwell is a beautiful, traditional pub with pleasing, dark wood fittings that include a superb gantry that displays their famed selection of fine whisky. The curved bar is split in the middle by a charming wood and glass screen that effectively creates a snug, and there are also two separate, ultra-cosy snugs off the bar. Service here was smart, friendly and efficient, and I thought that the three young people behind the bar exuded pride in the job and sheer professionalism. They are a credit to the business. This bar is probably a mile from the city centre, but as it is undoubtedly one of the finest bars in the city, it is well worth seeking out. Highly recommended.

The Wine Press

Reviewed By MeghannT - Dundee, United Kingdom

The Wine Press is one of my favourite places in Dundee for a night out at the moment, I’ve always had a brilliant time whenever I’ve been. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, the wine selection is enormous and the food platters are so good-the cheese in particular. I also love the modern-rustic decor of the venue. If you’re looking for somewhere classy and a bit different that doesn’t smash the bank balance then this is the place!

The Bookhouse

The Bookhouse is a family-run independent Bookshop and Coffee bar. Our aim is to provide a welcoming atmosphere where people can go to relax with a barista coffee and a cake and browse a wide selection of new release, adult and children's fiction books. As well as a book ordering service we run 7 monthly book clubs, run scheduled music events and have regular book signings and "meet the author" events.

Stopped off here for coffees on what was a freezing cold day. What a lovely warm and welcoming place. The coffees were delicious, and, although we didn't have anything to eat this time, the home bakes looked very tempting. Then of course we had a browse round the bookshop too. Great ambience right on Monifieth's High Street.

Draffens

Reviewed By R9766QLchristines

Down a very insalubrious-looking alleyway, with no sign on the door to let you know you have come to the right place, you really need to know where you are going! But the surprise inside is brilliant. Old wooden “elevators” show there are two ways you can go; up or down. We went upstairs first to The Blue Room, where Alice, the quirky Australian bartender, fixed me a gin fizz that was out of this world. Followed by two more! The decorations are excellent, dark walls, potted plants, shell-shaped chairs, funky tiles, impressive gantry. Jazz and cool music choices give this bar a fabulous atmosphere. A very warm welcome from the staff and a friendly group of customers made this a brilliant experience. We also popped down to look at the other bar which has a speakeasy feel and again friendly staff to explain the history of the building and the plans for the future. If you are in Dundee, this place is well worth a visit.
