An Awful Video About Some Of The Best Pubs In Dundee :) But Will We Drink In Every One This Time?

Continuing our 'Pubs of Scotland' series, here is our less-than-successful visit to Dundee! For many reasons it wasn't the easiest to pull together but we hope you still enjoy it :)

I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You may not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation and KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING :)

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up (in which case, likely to be Tuesday at 5pm)
WHY IS THERE A DELAY BETWEEN TRIP AND VIDEO APPEARING?
This is a result of doing all this myself I’m afraid. Editing takes time and I also like to schedule videos a bit in advance in case of any problems/illness/cancellations etc. Keeping my uploads appearing every Saturday morning is important to me, so I don’t want anything to get in the way of it. Also, I occasionally need some time off to recover from trips!
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc. I also have a DJI Pocket 3 (bigger sensor) for nighttime, although I’m still getting to grips with it.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman. Also my weekly upload schedule means I need to keep on the move.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature whenever possible, but she has her own life and a proper job so it can take a while for our schedules to match up. Trust me though, I prefer it when She is there too!
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free. Notice I don’t have mid-roll ads though!
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links in here for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for KZbin Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

I was very pleased to watch this movie. My great-grandmother was born in Dundee. See moved to Holland when she was 17 y old and where she married my great-grandfather. 40 y ago I visited Dundee and walked through the streets where she grew up. My mother told me that she drank a glass of whisky every day, till she died when she was 92 y old. Thanks Steve...this was a meaningful movie for me! Keep going!

[@Mat-eq8mk]

This is what I love about KZbin. No TV producer would dream of something so mundane, but it's a joy to watch. I think it's because the casual chitchat and first person angles give you a sense of being there. Thanks for the vid!

[@johnericneil2455]

I never thought I'd enjoy watching a couple on a pub crawl, but, I actually did. What was interesting was how, as the day went on your reviews became more and more enthusiastic. Can't figure out why that was ... hhmmm.

The smiling face of a tipsy Alicja makes all videos seem good lol . Its good to see the two of you out enjoying you time x

[@AndreaDE-ep1iq]

This video was hilarious. The two of you together and the banter made it even more enjoyable. A feel good vid!! I don't know how you managed to stay upright, I would've been under the table after the second pub. I just wish I could give you more than one like!

[@ACsPianoCorner]

Another great video. I regularly travel up to Edinburgh and Glasgow for work. Now you’ve given me a reason to stop by and spend a weekend in Dundee. Enjoyed your take on the pubs and the banter between you and Alicja priceless. Keep up the good work, you too 👍

[@wattpilot]

Awesome watch guys from here in New Zealand. I was born in NZ but went to Dundee (Wormit to be precise) as my Dad (Dundee born and bred) was in the merchant navy. Lived there until I was 5yo and returned to NZ where I have remained. 50 years on (this year) and I still haven't been back to Dundee 😞. It is my desire to travel back and find the graves of my grandparents and pay my respects. It is amazing from videos from Steve how many things remain vivid in my memory from when I was so young. The emotional attachment remains so strong. In the above video @2:05 I remembered exactly the building (recalled a tall glass facade) where Boots is where I used to get a wee Matchbox car when we went there like it was yesterday - probably been refurbished and modernised since then). Keep up the great work. I loved how organic and naturally flowing the video was too. Just for reference my grandparents lived in a wee village called Rait, then Monifieth, then Broughty Ferry until they passed. I'll need to check out some of the latter's pubs too when I get back....

[@alexandergemmell664]

Make sure you come back to Dundee, the best City in Scotland.

[@carbonnieferrous2689]

I just love Alicjia's laugh. Makes me smile. BTW. Start your pub crawls a little later, say 2-3 in the afternoon and it all fades into the tea time drinking which is the best time of the day. Feel free to ignore my advice as most folks do. Keep up the good work guys.

[@graemewilliams3212]

Now that I enjoyed! The Lemmings were a staple of my childhood in the 90s and I took a selfie with the statues when I was in Dundee over a year ago. I'm guessing Aberdeen pub crawl next? Best make sure Alicja has the next day off work just in case! 😂

[@wendyshort5972]

Another great video Steve. It was nice to see Alicia along with you. Nice to see the different pubs in Dundee. Glad you got back safely to Montrose.

[@ScotsMb]

I'm from Aberdeen, and you actually made me want to go on a pub crawl to Dundee! Great video 🍻

[@DSTWizz]

"Dundee doesn't have the choice of bigger cities", he says! Well, you two, you found some belters there! That's my kind of travelogue - a glorious pub-crawl. Mind you, that special moment when the glass jumped out of Alicja's hand- "Oh sh**", I shouted! I was astonished to see all the palm trees in the park as you strolled between pubs though; Costa Tay! And that lunch spot - what a bargain! You did well to stay upright long enough to catch the train home guys. That was fun to watch! It's Saturday night down here in Northumberland, and I fancy a dram after watching you both. Thanks for letting us all tag along with you!

[@TerryW696]

A lot of cities around the UK could learn from Dundee. It really seems the place has been tidied up since my last visit many years ago and the city centre actually looks quite nice and fairly clean too.

[@embee1983]

It’s honestly no. Trust me

[@arthurchinaski3736]

Yes, Dundee is a photogenic place and has a good variety of interesting pubs and restaurants. Worth a visit.

[@lisabeth2994]

Dundee is doing well, especially for food. A few decent wine bars and broughty ferrry is def the way to go

[@crawdad19141]

These pub videos in various regions of your beautiful country are so fun and very much appreciated! Thank you and please dont stop! One thing that i think would make these fantastic videos even better, is to perhaps revisit them and spend more talk talking to the locals. Hear their stories, in other words. We need to keep the history alive in these various locals and you could be instrumental in that regard! Love you both and love your enthusiasm for the country and its peoples!

[@nesleinf]

I'm impressed. In my younger days (in 1969) I arranged with a friend that we would walk from the suberbs of Copenhagen, where we lived, to the Town Hall Square in Copenhagen and stop at every bar on the way and have one beer. A tour of less than 20 kilometers. We did'nt recon there would be so many places, so it would be an easy task to do and youh'd probably get sober on the way walking to the next stop. In the beginning, there were some distance between the bars, so it went off quite well. But after a while the bars got more frequent and on around the 10 kilometer mark we were unable to walk or stand, so the project were cancelled. But we had a fun day 😀

[@ianhaines5788]

Great video, love it that you two go day drinking together. That's got to be a recipe for a great relationship.

Note to self- don’t go on a pub crawl in Dundee like Steve and Alicja because I might end up booking a trip to Newfoundland!!! What a shame that would be 😅. Just joking. Guys it’s been long time no speak from me but I’ve still been watching avidly. Another masterpiece from you’s two, looked like a brilliant day despite the 1or2 mishaps (personally they’re the days I always remember most fondly in the end); well done for lasting all day. Strangely just a couple of weeks ago I had an email reminder that I’ve booked to go on a group tour around Poland in September- and I’d forgotten all about it (no I haven’t constantly been drinking for the last 9 months since I last made a payment towards it 😅😅) and once again another one of your videos has given me more inspiration and probably yet more expense!!! Cheers 🍻 I think!!!

[@user-dx5kg1nu6k]

This reminds me a bit of The Longest Crawl by Ian Marchant, the account of his journey with his friend, to travel the length of Britain visiting numerous famous and not so famous pubs on the way. The plan was to start at the most southerly pub (Scilly Isles) and finish at the most northerly (Baltasound). It's a very engrossing and amusing book full of stories and history. I recommend it for a very good read. Bill

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks so much mate!!!

[@Grangeburn]

A great authentic video Steve. You were both beginning to slever away like poachers' dugs towards the end ! I have a confession to make, although I do not come from anywhere near Dundee I have visited all the pubs on your list, apart from The Tinsmith and Gunners. The Ferry is a nice wee place and The Royal Anchor just shades it from The Ship Inn. In Dundee, Phoenix Bar just shades it from The Speedwell and The Pillars. I like them all - without wishing to be compared to over-indulgent day trippers from Montrose !! The reason I am so well acquainted with the pubs so far from my home (the Glasgow area) is that I have been researching my mother's side of the family who came from Dundee and Kirkton of Auchterhouse (the family name was Fenwick). I do remember finding somewhere in my researches that Phoenix Bar got its name from the very first owner, who was also a Dundee wine merchant, called Peter Fenwick .... it was Fenwicks !!! Anyway, I couldn't find a link to him and my mother's family. Without bias, however, I would say that the overall winner was Phoenix Bar.

[@geoffdundee]

@Grangeburn ....my mothers side are from near kirkton of auchterhouse and a place called PITEMPTON (strathmartine/craigmill) .....many delaminated gravestones still survive in local cemetery at Craigmill....think some stones go back to 1700 or before ....before then from kettins/blairgowrie,cortachy and before then edinburgh.........current family still in same area hundreds of years later - we hate moving house :))

[@Grangeburn]

I found my great-grandfather's family gravestone in the graveyard of the Kirk in Kirkton of Auchterhouse. David Fenwick was his name and he was the village blacksmith. We are talking roughly around the years 1860 - 1890. His son Alexander married an Elizabeth Noonan from Dundee. My grandpa and grandma were shunned by both sides of the family as he was Kirk and she was Catholic. She gave birth to their son before being married in the Kirk at Logie? in Dundee. The Fenwicks are scattered all over the world, as are the Noonans. @@geoffdundee

[@geoffdundee]

@@Grangeburn ...there was a Fenwicks blacksmiths in dundee from 1905 until 2015 which went bankrupt due to loss of contracts......im sure there was a Fenwicks hardware store in Dundee around mid 1980s too......they were probably all related to you in some way....its an unusual surname too.

[@geoffdundee]

Fenwicks Blacksmith were at - 2 Fairfield Street Dundee. newspaper article from 2015.. A leading Dundee blacksmiths has gone into provisional liquidation with the loss of 14 jobs. Fenwick Blacksmiths was founded in 1904 and had an annual turnover of about £800,000, but was hit hard when fellow city firm and key customer Muirfield Contracts went into administration. The business has closed with immediate effect, with all 14 staff let go. The firm's assets, including property, vehicles and machinery, will now be sold off. Liquidator Tom MacLennan, of FRP Advisory, said: "Fenwick Blacksmiths was a highly regarded specialist blacksmith business with a good customer base. The administration of Muirfield Contracts meant that the company was unable to continue trading. "This is a difficult time for the staff and we will provide as much support to them as possible."

[@mcnab1383]

Nice video, but a little unfair on the Dundee pubs - expecting an atmosphere on a Monday morning. I was in Mennie's (The Speedwell) the day after you - as the painting had just been finished. It's the best trad bar by far - cask ales, best whisky collection I've seen in a city cente bar for years, no music. Funnily enough I got talking to a Spanish (or Portugese) guy next to me at the bar who was a beer afficianado, and he said he often travelled into Dundee from Broughty Ferry (where he lived), just to have a beer in Mennie's. Mennie was the name of the German lady who ran the bar in the 60s, 70s and 80s.

Mrs Mennie wasn't German. Her nephew Ian who was bar manager, his wife was German.

Thanks for showing us around these fine old pubs around Dundee. Guess I'm too old and burnt out to appreciate liquid spirits at 11am with no food. Videoing much quieter before ,say, tea time.

I have it penciled in to do a walk between them both. I'm glad to still have plenty options for the channel :) I certainly walked through Falkirk on my 'attempted' walk from Edinburgh to Glasgow video

Excellent. Remember to check out Falkirks oldest pub(The WheatSheaf 1797), for a nice hand pulled pint.@@steve-marsh

Always good to see you guys in my hometown, making me homesick🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😃. The phoenix was a haunt of mine 30 years ago in my youth only half way through the video so here’s to second half

[@stephaniekinal4921]

Steve, I loved this! No apology required....please! It was great fun.

[@almostthere3733]

A pie tour would be good

[@becsterbrisbane6275]

A bakery crawl? Oh hell yes!!

Dundee used to be Dumpdee but in recent times its really come on. Nice place nowadays.

[@embee1983]

Looks can be deceiving trust me

[@arthurchinaski3736]

Dundee is a nice place. Has its problems like anywhere but the people are down to earth and friendly with a self-effacing sense of humour.Look a bit harder and you might see it!@@embee1983

[@jenniferlevine5406]

I have to go to Dundee now! So glad to see you two out having fun. Hopefully a little advil took care of you the next day! Good job and fun video.

[@allanmorton6022]

No worries on the edit, it was a fun watch with you both in all those pubs. Some great interiors, especially liked the mirror with the tay Bridge etching. Great vid and hope alicja made it to work the next morning! Without a sore head!

Avoid Humza's brother in law. ;)

[@victorshackapopulus6078]

Also, avoid Humza.

The Dundee pubs seemed more like what we call "sticky floor boozers". We loved watching Steve getting gigglier as the day progressed! Cheers! 🍻

[@kerrys5540]

Great video. Liked the pub crawl one you did in Glasgow and Edinburgh too

[@highlandexplorer990]

OMG this video is EVERYTHING 🤣🤣🤣 You two are hilarious!! I'm definitely cracking up at you spilling your drink in the first pub. Classic! 😆 It looked like you had so much fun exploring Dundee's pubs! 🍻 I love your sense of adventure -Thanks for an awesome video!

[@iainbradley5646]

How could you have missed the chance to call it a Steak and Black Pudding "peh" when you were in Dundee? 😂

[@robbojax2025]

Nice video. I have been to Dundee many times but not a fan. Never stayed long enough to sample the pubs. Broughty ferry looks a better option.

[@gallovidian2151]

Great video :) Reminded me of all the great pubs in Paisley when I was at college in the early '80s - very different to country pubs, and always full of interesting folk.
