The Liar is named after the novel by our beloved former Rector, Stephen Fry. The Union's cafe bar, Air is so named because it has floor to ceiling windows giving you the impression of being outside whilst sitting inside.

Duplicitous and deceitful, the Liar offers the agonising choice of four distinct areas all served by one of the longest bars in Dundee and a plethora of plasma screens and video projectors. Whether it be the comfortable and bijou lounge with its leather sofas and low lighting; the sun-drenched, double height, window-side with private boothes large enough to seat you and all your new friends; the busy bar area with standing room only; or the raised seating booths – we guarantee that you will find an area to suit your taste.


But more importantly the Liar is the cheapest bar in Dundee - for both food and drink. Shots of spirits, alco-pops and bottled beers can be bought for as little as £1. As well as being the Union's busiest bar at night, the Liar is always packed at lunchtime when we serve a selection of baked potatoes with fillings, homemade soup and panini. In the afternoon you can find students relaxing with a coffee that more often or not turns into a cheeky afternoon pint; that will turn into an insolent teatime pint and likely as not, a thoroughly debauched all-nighter.


As we all know, you should never drink on an empty stomach and so in the evening the Liar serves pizza which is perfect for either sharing with your mates or scoffing all yourself.


The Liar is also THE venue to watch televised sport in Dundee – no other pub has more plasma or video screens. In general if sport is on terrestrial/ satellite TV and you want to watch it – it will be on in the Liar. (Please bear in mind that we will not be showing those 'specialist' channels that you are not allowed to watch at home.)

Air provides a higher standard of product and service than available in the Liar, however this doesn't mean that Air is still not great value.


Air operates as a café bar during the day, serving a selection of speciality coffees and the best value pub grub and snacks in Dundee. Air's legendary cocktails are perfect for a post lecture wind-down or for kick- starting that all night session. Air is also the only bar in the Union to have an extensive wine list.


Air offers some great free entertainment during the week playing host to Karaoke / Singstar nights on Tuesdays and the Live Lounge open mic nights every Thursday. At the weekend Air becomes an intimate pre–club bar featuring local guest DJ's playing the very best in bar soundtracks.


All events are free and start at 9pm. Air also features a five metre wide video projection screen and sometimes shows major televised sporting events.
