| First of 7 Dundee pubs I visited. Sadly only one of the others is listed on this site. I will review that separately. This is a large unremarkable Wetherspoons. I'm not quite sure about the blue and purple walls. The beer selection was good - Greene King Abbot Ale, Caledonian Deuchars IPA, Harviestoun Born to be Mild, O'Hanlons Yellow Hammer, Strathaven The Counting House & Stewart Steve Stewart's. There is no real cider. A disappointing start to my Dundee tour. But far busier than the similar Town bar around the corner. blue_scrumpy - 11 Jul 2011 21:27 |
| A drab place very much in keeping with Dundee which I have never taken to. In terms of decor, it is probably one of the worst Wetherspoons I have visited (and I have visited a few). It is badly in need of a facelift/refurbishment. All that said, it has a good range of ales - far better than Wetherspoons other Dundee outlet - the Capitol. aboukir - 22 Jun 2011 10:39 |
| Very stuffy open plan pub,quite drab and tired looking from outside too. Only £1.59 a pint for my excellent Cairngorm "Sheepshaggers ale" and quick service helped it redeem itself pretty well, 7/10 fat_beer_badger - 10 Jul 2010 21:59 |
| The beer and spirits are good (and reasonably priced) and the toilets are clean. However... you can wait ages on being served, the carpet is dirty, you'll be lucky if you can get a table and the food is dreadful. Yogbeer - 30 Oct 2009 22:40 |
| One of the few pubs in Dundee to sell a range of reasonably kept real ales, so it has that in its favour. It is of course part of the Wetherspoons chain, and it is pretty much middle of the road, but perfectly acceptable in the food, drink and value department. As previous reviewers have stated, it tends to attract a "mixed" crowd. During the day, it is not uncommon to see large groups of retired men, whose language and behaviour can at times verge on uncooth. Also tends to be busy of an evening, but luckily, this place is large enough to have plenty of discreet places to sit away from the madness. Although I would not normally sing the praises of Wetherspoon's outlets, this is one which generally doesn't disappoint. MountainMan - 5 Aug 2009 22:48 |
