Fisherman's Tavern, 4 Bell's Lane, Dundee

The Fisherman's Tavern is an early 19th-century public house located at 4 Bell's Lane, Dundee. Originally a vernacular two-storey, three-bay house in an irregular terrace, it was converted into a public house in 1857 and has been extended to the rear in the mid-19th century and again in the 1980s. The building features a painted, rendered exterior with lined painted margins, while the elevation facing Bell's Lane is harled. It has a base course.

The elevation facing Fort Street is asymmetrical, with a panelled timber door and flanking windows to the left at ground level. To the right, there is a larger stone-mullioned bipartite window and a part-glazed timber door further to the right. The first floor has three regularly disposed bays. The windows are primarily timber sash and case with a largely 4-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar and squared rubble stacks with cans and evidence of thackstanes, along with ashlar-coped skews featuring block skewputts.

Inside, the public bar and snug are well-preserved, separated by a low, part-glazed panelled timber partition that extends behind the bar. The public bar has low-ceilinged tongue and groove boarded timber walls, with lincrusta covering parts of the ceiling. It features a modest back gantry, a bar counter with a 1950s/60s plywood frontage, fixed bench seating, and a small rectangular ship's table with wooden sides. The snug includes a 1930s tiled fireplace and a modern bar counter. The later bar area has an imported decoratively-carved back gantry, and there is a restaurant with a cast iron fireplace at the rear.
