What a job Dale is doing on The Great British Pub Crawl traveling the length and breadth of the UK visiting and documenting pubs and bars across the country! Some of which sadly won’t be around in 10 or 20 years time the way things are going.

If you’ve not seen Dales Dundee video you should give it a watch. What an amazing advert for Dundee and the local people of our beautiful city.

Pubs are brilliant places for meeting and socialising and perfect for anyone feeling lonely or looking to improve mental health. You don’t have to spend much, you can get a soft drink or a half pint. You’ve got around 42000 of them in the uk and the vast majority are ready equipped with customers and great folk behind the bar who are always up for a chat.

Thank You Dale! long live the peoples palaces which have been and still are such an important part of our culture and our history.

Long live the local! ♥️

Dale Harvey, who hosts The Great British Pub Crawl, visited the pub last November during a Scottish tour.

What a credit to our customers, staff & The Speedwell Bar to be shortlisted here and in the same sentence as The Cafe Royal in Edinburgh.

What an amazing advert Dale is for our beautiful city and the locals of Dundee!

It’s humbling and an absolute honour to hear thoughts and comments like this from someone who is experienced and highly qualified to speak on the subject.

All the best to Dale on the rest of his travels on The Great British Pub Crawl

Good pubs are worth their weight in gold to the community and the economy.

Looking forward to checking out some of the gems Dale’s visited over the years!

It was a pleasure to meet Dale in Mennie’s a few weeks back when he came to Dundee on The Great British Pub Crawl.

Dale’s knowledge (and memory like a computer) of pubs and bars across the uk is incredible! It was brilliant speaking with him.

What an amazing advert for our beautiful city! 👏 He was loving all the great pubs, the city and the people.

What Dale is doing is interesting and great to watch but he’s also documenting what are not just pubs and bars but the heart of communities, people’s palaces that have been such a huge and important part of our heritage for so long.

This really hit home the other day when a customer at the bar told me his grandad came into Mennie’s for a pint before he left for the 1st World War, and his grandad was lucky enough to return home as not many people did.

All the very best to Dale on the rest of The Great British Pub Crawl and hopefully see you again soon! 👏 👏 👏
