What people said
White Goose. Great food and atmosphere and lovely staff. Will definitely be back for repeated visits.
What the venues said
The Dundee Cocktail Week definitely put a spark in hospitality and tourism for the days though which it ran. There was higher footfall, higher energy and the excitement was a good break from the everyday routine.
Dundee Cocktail Week invites new customers to visit venues they haven’t been to before. Not only did it increase foot fall in my venue but in venues throughout the city. It also creates a lively atmosphere as customers are excited to try all the creative new cocktails in new venues!
Really enjoyed being apart of Dundee cocktail week and it was great to see lots of new faces in the bar trying our cocktails and staying in to have dance in the club later on.
I love DCW as it gives business' the chance to get creative and welcome guests they wouldn't usually receive.
