Overall Rating

Pub 5 of the second day of my accessibility pub crawl in Broughty Ferry. Doc Ferry’s is a level access pub off the main street.

Disabled Access In and Around

There are two entrances to this pub. One of the entrances are labelled as the disabled access and has a bell to ring for assistance but, I don’t know why this was here. There was no step at either door and I feel the door that isn’t labelled as the disabled has better access. Although throughout the whole pub I don’t really feel it is very spacious, I did visit on a Friday night and it was very busy. So maybe on a quieter day it would feel more spacious.

Parking & Transport

There are council car parks/on street parking close by and taxi rank is also nearby. There are also plenty of buses that pass through Broughty Ferry on regular basis. A train station is also situated in Broughty Ferry although I don’t know anything about how often they stop, I know it’s not that much though.

Accessible Toilets

0

There is no disabled toilet in this pub and there is a sign to say this at one of the entrances. Down at the beach in Broughty Ferry there is a changing place although, it is only open till 5pm in the Summer and 3:30pm in the Winter.

Staff

0

I did not interact with any staff when I visited this pub as someone else went to the bar.

Additional Information

I was surprised that this Doc Ferry’s Bar was accessible as I have not visited it before. You can see how I entered this pub in my video linked below (skip to 5:32 to see this pub).
