Star & Garter

You'll find yourself on one of Dundee's most characterful stretches when you push through the Star & Garter's doors. It's the kind of bar that doesn't need to shout about itself—locals know where to find a decent drink and conversation that actually matters. The place has that lived-in warmth you get from somewhere that's earned its regulars over years, not months. It's straightforward, unpretentious stuff: good pours, no faffing about with molecular cocktails or Instagram-bait presentations. Just what you want when you're after somewhere to settle in for the evening.
