Malones Dundee officially opened its doors this week, giving the city a new home for live music, sport and Irish hospitality, following a £300,000 refurbishment of the former BrewDog premises on Panmure Street.
Opening night, Thursday 12th November, was attended by hundreds of guests, celebrating the arrival of the Malones Irish pub group to Tayside, joining its existing venues in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Leith and Glasgow.
Combining the atmosphere of a traditional Irish pub with live entertainment, major sporting fixtures, Irish drinks and home-cooked pub food, Malones Dundee is now aiming to establish itself as a go-to destination for the city’s social scene.
The venue, which has created 20 jobs, will also be the only pub in Dundee to offer the fantastic four stouts – Guinness, Beamish, Murphy’s and Tennent’s – all under one roof.
Live music performances are planned five nights a week, with some evenings featuring more than one act. Following a strong response to its call for local bands and musicians, Malones Dundee is keen to give local talent a regular platform.
The new pub has also set about establishing links with the local community, with sponsorship agreements already in place with Abertay Football Club, Abertay Basketball Club and Dundee University Women’s Rugby.
Director of Malones, Simon Keane, said: “We’re absolutely delighted with how Malones Dundee has turned out.
“A huge amount of work has gone into transforming the venue, and we couldn’t be happier with the finished result.
“The turnout for our opening night was fantastic, and it was brilliant to see so many people coming through the doors to celebrate with us. We’re looking forward to building on that and making Malones a firm favourite in the city.”
