City Drinking | Dundee
Where to drink in Dundee
With its thriving arts and cultural scene and cosmopolitan nightlife, the City of Discovery is home to a growing range of drinking establishments - so whether you are looking for a chic cocktail, a refreshing real ale, a warming dram of Scotch whisky or the perfect frothy cappuccino, Dundee has plenty of bars, pubs, cafés and watering holes to enjoy.
Student haunts tend to be found in Dundee’s cultural quarter, the popular west end, although cocktail bars and wine tasting rooms are tempting a more mature and affluent crowd into the area.
The nearby coastal town of Broughty Ferry is a scenic haven, ideal for enjoying a brisk walk to breathe in the fresh sea air before enjoying a well earned beverage in charming ‘olde worlde’ inns and pubs. Look out for a great selection of real ales and great views of the harbour.
