Wow what a venue, will surely return, the band was epic, the mood was class. No ways I will not go back on my adventures.
Authentic pub, good beer and prices, Karaoke twice a week and local bands playing Saturday evenings. Full of great Dundee characters, never a dull moment in this boozer. As with most pubs nowadays the prices have gone up for drinks but it ain't the most expensive for sure. Pool table is popular. Good location for buses and taxis.
Old skool Saturday night. Sons 'stag' night so we're doing a tour of bars. Artic was my choice. Most if the young crew had never been in. Band were on so the guys had a great night.
Tucked down the alley off the main high street. The artic bar serves as the gateway to the Kilier centre around the corner. Both contribute to the location. The artic bar. I have walked past many a times and at times sometimes slightly judgmentally have thought to stay away. After braving myself through the door. I need not worry. The bar itself is smallish but can fit enough around. A scoped a pool table and and deceptively open space at the back for event entertainment. Enough room to fit several people comfortably. Disapotinly there were only two drafts available and the choice between tenants or carling is a debate non challengabale. Regardless I was welcome by Theresa who was very pleasant. Made me feel welcome and I sat down at the quieter end of the pub. I was interested to see the history of this place. It obviously been well established and it's still a bit rare to have a long running independent bar to drink in. Compared to the wetherspoons or bank bar up the road. Unfortunately I would say the decor really needed to have an update. It's obviously a well loved local and needs a bit TLC to bring it up to a better shape. The toilet didn't have lights on and there was no switch to turn them on. (I know I should of asked). The locals come and a go and I observed a small disagreement breakout. Nothing that wasn't resolved in a about 10 muns and then forgiven and fogtton about. Nothing I would consider negatively towards the pub and it running. So times people make trouble and it could be anywhere. All in all I will return and give it another go. I shouldn't of been so indecisive in the first place.
Love this bar. So much history, ask Theresa about the coffin windows if you visit and the history and connection to whaling. The bar is friendly and welcoming, serves a great pint at great prices. What's not to love.

Until the early 1980s, this popular, good-value bar was a branch of the Bank of Scotland.
