There's nothing gimmicky about Albar, the most subtly Scottish pub this side of the equator; a local favourite and the social hub of many. However, "being Scottish" at Albar is as natural as drinking whisky—a double of the 'Malt of the Month' is always available for $14 and bottles of 'Albar's Original Salted Caramel Whisky' are available for purchase over the bar.

With Albar being the hub of Emerson's, their beer is also the favourite on tap, and Emerson's Brewery will always launch a new or limited edition beer from Albar first. The extensive tapas menu at Albar is delicious and extremely affordable. Choose from the likes of hummus, meatballs and mussel pots alongside your more traditional Scottish favourites such as haggis and oatcakes.

Every Tuesday from 8pm a local Celtic band gathers around one of the cosy wooden tables and plays merry tunes for the evening, so come on down for a pint and a wee jig!

Dunedin, which is Celtic for Edinburgh, is the fifth largest city in the world in terms of geographical size. Home to the University of Otago, the only breeding colony of Northern Royal Albatross, the steepest street in the world, the only authentic Chinese garden in the Southern Hemisphere, the first public art gallery in the country, and more, ‘Dunners’ is a spectacular city. With friendly people and food and drink that showcases the very best of what the bountiful region has to offer, you'll find yourself wishing you had more time.
