The Courier & Advertiser (Fife Edition)
cocktail/ wine bar of the year
Bird & Bear
Bird & Bear is famed for brunch and carefully crafted cocktails. The last year saw bartenders enter and win national cocktail competitions, accept internationally famed, market leading bartenders, host country-wide events such as North Hop, while developing their bar team to a national stage.
Draffens
Being Dundee’s only true speakeasy, folk might struggle to locate the lair of luxurious libation that is Draffens. Hidden on Couttie’s Wynd just off the beaten track of the city centre, Draffens bar can be found behind a seemingly innocent-looking alleyway door, denoted by a single lit lamp for those curious enough to step inside.
Its interior pays homage to the roaring ’20s era. A true one-off, vintage experience.
The Wine Press
Located in the heart of Dundee’s exciting waterfront redevelopment, The Wine Press has been serving quality wines from all over the world, award-winning local spirits and beers, and offering casual dining since 2015. The innovative Enomatic wine machines allow the customer to sample and enjoy an ever- changing range of premium wines in relaxed and stylish surroundings.

As Dundee’s only late-night cocktail bar, offering full table service until 2am, 3 Session Street delivers a relaxed atmosphere for visitors and locals alike.
