The Bush Bar is a traditional Scottish pub trading since 1884 at 30 Seagate, in the heart of downtown Dundee (DD1 2EQ). It bills itself as Dundee's premier bar, restaurant, music and live sport venue. Entertainment runs five nights a week (Wednesday to Sunday from 7pm) with karaoke, and there's a Tuesday-night open mic hosted by Andrew Acoustic that invites local musicians to take the stage, plus live music across the weekend. Recently refurbished, it's praised for its friendly staff and lively atmosphere — a PA-equipped grassroots room for Dundee's open-mic and covers circuit.
