Local record

History of this pub

Dundee's Beefeater stood at Discovery Quay off Riverside Drive on the Tay waterfront, a family restaurant with the Premier Inn Dundee Centre attached. It closed on 10 September 2026 along with the rest of the chain.

Christie & Co’s sale particulars describe Dundee Centre as a purpose-built restaurant with around 230 seats, arranged in linked dining spaces. Open areas and more private sections gave families and groups different places to sit, with a bar and waiting area near the dining rooms. Outside, a paved terrace faced the River Tay, with wooden tables, picnic benches and festoon lighting. Large windows connected the indoor seating with the waterfront setting. The particulars describe the building offered to buyers; they do not establish a completed sale, a new operator or a reopening date.
