Nightlife in Dundee
Dundee is small enough that most of a night out can be done on foot, but the districts have different characters. The differences, and the journey home, are covered below.
A compact city
Dundee's middle and its West End sit close together, so you can pick one area for the evening or work your way along it. Nothing in the main areas is far from the station, which makes the late trip home easy to plan compared with larger cities.

Perth Road and the Nethergate
Perth Road and the Nethergate form a long line of pubs, bars and cafes running west from the centre. The crowd is mixed and includes many students, so weekends can be loud, but the area is easy to move through and has plenty of places to sit and talk.

The Waterfront
By the river the setting is more open and modern. It suits a start to the evening or a drink with a view, and it is the closest area to the railway station if you are travelling in for the night.

Broughty Ferry
Broughty Ferry has its own pubs and bars along the main street and seafront, and a calmer feel than the centre. It works as a separate evening in its own right, and a licensed taxi booked for the return is the sensible way to finish.

Home again
The last trains and buses leave earlier than the bars close, so look up the final service before you go out. If you use a taxi, choose a licensed firm, look at the badge the driver wears and the number plate, and send a friend the details of the journey if you are on your own.

Fitting around a booking
Where a booking decides the start time, plan back from it and allow a little extra for walking between areas. Entry to the site is restricted to adults, so anyone under 18 should leave it alone.

Frequently asked questions
The centre and Perth Road are lively on Friday and Saturday evenings, and quieter earlier in the week.
Usually, but queues form after closing time. Booking a licensed taxi for a set time avoids standing around.
