| L-shaped bar with several distinctive drink areas catering for a more affluent/old clientele. Has been carefully restored and is well worth visting on that account alone. Small range of beers - I had the Deuchars IPA which was in fine form. simontheeditor - 27 May 2013 12:16 |
| This pub certainly has an impressive interior. The main bar has a really impressive ceiling. The bar is long and has a fine selection of whiskeys. There are also 2 side rooms, with further seating. The bar and the front room also have nice etched windows. On a Saturday night, the atmosphere was a touch rowdy. One individual clearly wanted to make himself heard. The ale selection was slightly disappointing with only Holts IPA & Deuchars IPA available. I have to say that I preferred the Phoenix nearer the town centre on the same road into town. The interior was also impressive and the beer range was superior. blue_scrumpy - 11 Jul 2011 21:33 |
| The Speedwell, known locally as "Mennies" (after the former landlady, Mrs Mennie) is one of the best watering holes in Dundee, and certainly my favourite on the Perth Road. This traditional Scottish pub is owned and run by the Stewart family, who also own and manage the Royal Arch (and also formerly the Fisherman's Tavern) in Broughty Ferry, so if you have frequented either of those establishments you will know what to expect - excellent service, fantastic product range, clean and tidy environment and above all, the best real ale selection and quality on Tayside. The crowd is generally a mix of professionals and more well to do students. There is usually a good "buzz" about this venue, and you may well have to wait a few minutes to get served, such is the popularity of this bar. Bar snacks and toasties are available during the day, and there is usually a selection of newspapers to browse and an unobtrusive television set for those who prefer some sort of entertainment whilst they sup their tipple of choice. Worth a mention is the impressive copperwork in the gents cloakroom - someone has had the brasso out ! MountainMan - 17 Nov 2010 16:51 |
