Groucho's Music Bar sits at 132 Nethergate, Dundee (DD1 4ED) — inside the premises of the legendary independent record shop once owned by Alister "Breeks" Brodie, whose name the bar honours. Reborn as a live-music venue, it has live music on every week, with a packed entertainment calendar listed via Skiddle. The bar trades long hours (10:00–01:00 Sun–Thu, through to 02:00 on Friday and Saturday) and quickly built a following after a successful opening weekend. A c. 100-capacity grassroots room welcoming both original acts and covers in the heart of Dundee's cultural quarter.
