My Sister raved about this Bar great Cocktails ,live music, great atmosphere…read more Well I did not find any of these here, as we were entering the Bar some people were leaving and commented to us that we should turn around as it was not worth staying. My Neice had reserved a table and paid a £5.00 deposit for each of us when we arrived our table had been given to another party with the proviso that when we arrived they would vacate it but they had just bought a round of drinks it would be rude to oust people. We got another smaller booth and ordered some drinks, my Sister does not drink alcohol so asked for a Mocktail list, the Server told us that they do not have a Mocktail list but do any Cocktail without alcohol. We had ordered Ruby Ruby Ruby, it had Edinburgh Rhubarb & Ginger Gin, Rhubarb bitters & Victorian Lemonade over crushed ice, my Siste was handed a bottle of Victorian Lemonade no crushed ice no Rhubarb bitters that was our last drink there. On top of the fact no live music lots of Hen Parties shrieking in a very small place sorry Jam Jar you are not for me.

I LOVED the Jam Jar Bar! I had heard about this place and…read moretook the opportunity to go on Saturday night with the girls. It is next door to the True Pizza Company (same owners) and we went there for dinner first. Dundee is my home town and having not lived here for a few years, I was really pleased to see such a cool cosmopolitan place that Dundee has been crying out for. Table service makes it that wee bit special and the events manager asked us for feedback to see what we liked and wanted. They had a live band playing upstairs and they were really fantastic. The cocktail menu was really original and each time our drinks were brought to the table, there were squeaks of delight. Highly recommend this place.

Having decided on my last visit we wanted Italian, we ended up here. Great, central location in the City Square it has plenty of outside seating for sunny days. Inside is modern and fresh with private dining available (when I say private, it's just a glass partition so I use the word "private" loosely here!). The menu follows suit and has a modern Italian feel and while we browsed we were brought complimentary bread and olive oil/balsamic...3 pieces of bread...between 2 of us...grrrr this really frustrates me! Thankfully we've known each other yonks so didn't fall out over the last piece lol. I eventually opted for the Wild Mushroom & Mozzarella Arancini (fried balls of risotto, sooo tasty but sadly only two which looked a bit odd) followed by Prosciutto, Rocket & Parmesan Pizza (proper authentic base I was really surprised how good this was, would have again in a flash! And only £9.95!). Service was attentive throughout, if a little too attentive, especially when I was still eating my last piece of pizza and my plate was being cleared while asking how it was, eh hello, mouth full, can't talk right now! My numero uno pet peeve I'm afraid, just leave it a couple of more minutes, THEN clear, OK? Pet peeve aside, food was tasty and I would definitely go back next time I'm up that way :-)

Last Sunday there was a queue out the door here t the back of 2pm. By the back of 5pm, when I…read morestepped in to see if I could get dinner, it was silent and practically empty. Odd but the queue was possibly to secure tickets for an upcoming gig as the place seems to host those on a regular basis. There was also possibly a quiz on later that night & I'd just wandered in during an odd lull. Needless to say I can't comment on the place's atmosphere. The staff were pretty good and the baked potato I ordered was decent & came with a large side salad. Alcohol-wise there were two real ale handpulls but neither seemed to be in use so you'll likely have to make to with keg beer if you want a pint. The bottled beer and cider selection helped out here & Williams Joker IPA was available from that, at pretty much the same price I'd expect to be charged in Edinburgh but hey ho. Spirits covered the usual gamut.

Dundee University Student Union is pretty much the go to place in Dundee for Students looking for a…read morenight out, its location centered in the middle of the Dundee University district is ideal for the students who live on campus and it couldn't get closer to Perth Road and all the pubs that come along with it. With 5 floors it's a pretty versatile place. The bottom floor known as Mono is the most popular of the 5, playing mostly chart pop music and dance, whilst not being to everyone's taste it's usually where most people end up by the end of the night. The third floor is home to the "liar" bar (named after the Stephen Fry novel of the same name due to his time as rector of the university) which is mainly the area that people tend to pre drink in before heading either up or downstairs later on in the night as it is a comfortable environment to have a drink in due to comfy couches, the liar bar also has plenty of screens to watch sports on. One floor up there are pool tables and the air bar which has karaoke regularly and serves cocktails. On the very top floor sits the aptly named floor 5, which is usually the alternative to mono by the end of the night, it has a dimly lit feel to it and usually plays music that wouldn't normally be played downstairs (hosting genres inducing specialised electronica all the way to the now sadly defunct rock and metal night). In terms of a cheap night most students usually go to what is (in)famously known as "Skint" on a Tuesday night where entry is a pound and (selected) drinks are usually the same price. Weekends tend to be a bit dearer in terms of entry at the door and drink prices are usually a bit more expensive too (but nothing wallet stretching). The only real negatives about the place are that as it is a student union the busyness of the place really depends on when the students are about, exam times etc, the place can be absolutely dead during summer and during exam time and almost too crammed to enjoy at the start of each term. That and the selection of alternative nights on floor 5 is dwindling to the point that all that is really left is an indie night and a cheesy pop night which seems to play the same playlist every weekend.
