Traditional, city centre pub.

A former bank, celebrating 25 years as a bar in February 2024; it features a bare-board floor, wooden furniture and a series of alcoves with tables in the tradition of older Scottish city bars. One of the nearest cask ale pubs to the railway station; mobility access guide provided by AccessAble.

Four handpulled ales are usually on offer, with at least one local contribution from MòR Beers or Seventy One Brewing. Darker ales & stouts prove very popular with changing beers regularly from Robinson (Trooper), Theakston (Old Peculier) or Titanic (Plum Porter).

Food is served noon until 6pm every day, unless the kitchen runs out of food earlier, and then live music events are performed most evenings, showcasing the excellent local Dundee musical talent (details on Facebook). CAMRA Tayside Pub of the Year 2022, the Bank Bar can be very busy especially at weekends.
