The Riverside Inn

You're after a straightforward pint without the pretence, yeah? Head down to the Riverside Inn and you'll find yourself in one of those pubs that just does what it does without trying too hard. The location's the real winner here—crack open a window or grab a seat outside and you've got the Tay in front of you, proper restorative after wandering around Dundee's city centre. The menu's solid Greene King fare: burgers that won't disappoint, fish and chips done right, Sunday roasts if you're feeling it. It's the sort of place where you bump into people you know, where the staff remember your order, where a pint tastes exactly like a pint should.
