Nether Inn, Dundeeback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Now has real ale. On yesterday were Hobgoblin and Flying Scotsman. Very pleasant barman.

Full of youngsters getting tanked up on cheap cocktails to a soundtrack consisting mainly of loud dance music. Nothing wrong with that (everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves) but it's not for me - I prefer a more thoughtful atmosphere. No beer to speak of (only the mediocre mixed-gas Belhaven Best on tap) but you can't knock three mains for less than £9. Five out of ten including one point for playing the sublime 'In These Arms' by the shamefully underrated Teddy Thompson.

As Yogbeer mentions, this used to be the Parliamentary. After laying desolate for a couple of years, it reopened as the Nether Inn around about 1999-2000.
Typical identikit Yellow Card student pub, akin to many you will find in any University city around the UK. Although completely refreshing and different a decade ago, it now feels bland and uninspiring. There are cheap food and drink deals, but nothing out of the ordinary, using the most basic of ingrediants. The sister Yellow Card pub, "The Bread" located by the Abertay Union is slightly better, although it too churns out the same dull fodder. Perth Road / Nethergate has plenty of great hostelries to frequent, this is not one of them. Do yourself a favour and cross the road to the Phoenix - a real pub !

Used to be the Parliamentary, back in the day.
Now, it's all loud music and huge-screen TVs, fruit and quiz machines, and the smell of �5 burgers. Student loans keep this place going, I imagine.
On the plus side, it does have a very nice selection of draught lagers.
Visit Groucho's Record & Tape Exchange next door instead, I say.
