Thanks to the £200 million
redevelopment of Dundee’s
quayside, waterfront properties
are set to become very
desirable indeed. Number
57, on Dock Street, is one
nightspot that stands to
benefit from the revival as
the city’s waterfront enjoys a
long-overdue renaissance. As
Dundee’s newest live music
bar, 57 can be relied on to
showcase the best up-and-
coming local bands as well
as touring rock, indie and folk
artists. Step inside on any given
night of the week and there’s
usually a singer-songwriter
running through a few acoustic
numbers; pull up a seat at the
bar and nod along while you
sip a cold one. During the day,
the bar does a roaring trade in
express lunches and hot drinks,
with the hot chocolate – served
with cream, marshmallows
and a handful of decorative
M&Ms – highly recommended.
When evening falls and it
becomes socially acceptable
to get stuck into the harder
stuff, 57’s cocktails are well
worth investigating: generous
measures, shaken, crushed
and stirred to perfection. By day
the bar feels like a continental
cafe; by night it’s a vibrant
bar and diner, complete with a
cool soundtrack.
