The Arctic Bar, which was acquired by Gordon & Marjory Bruce in April 1990, is situated just off the High Street  in New Inn Entry. One of the oldest pubs in Dundee the Arctic Bar is convenient for all city centre shops, Caird Hall, Discovery Point, Museum and all public transport facilities. The Arctic Bar is a family run business with Gordon, Marjory, son Raymond and daughter Kirstyn all involved one way or another.

The name of the Establishment is believed to have originated from the fact that whalers used to collect their wages from the bar. A main feature of the pub is a centre-piece in the floor of the old bar depicting a polar bear on top of an iceberg. Six doors in the bar area have coffin shaped windows (see pictures below) and the story passed down through the years was that they were fitted to commemorate six local whalers lost at sea.

New Inn Entry is one of the oldest thoroughfares in Dundee and until Reform Street was opened it remained the principal street leading northward from the High Street. New Inn Entry is also a main access to Dundee's busy Keiller Centre and many shoppers like to stop off at the Arctic for a meal and refreshments.
