Once upon a time in Dundee we sat down for a cold beer and a glass of wine….. and that was how the journey to owning our own bar came about. From starting out having absolutely no clue of running a bar, to present day and guess what we still dont have a clue…… Well not quite but it’s been a steep curve from being silent investors to now running 3 Session Street on our own. We have been extremely fortunate to have many great friends and fellow hospitality owners who have helped us along the journey so far. Coupled with the knowledge we have gained over a lifetime of frequenting various drinking establishments across the globe this has stood us in good stead for the current journey we are on.

Fondly known as the guy with the shite shirts, Dan ended up in Scotland after falling asleep on a train to Newcastle; from there he got a job in a bar to pay his way, and quickly fell in love with hospitality, always working towards the end goal of eventually opening his own bar.
After managing several venues, and touring around Canada, USA, Japan, Australia, and Asia working (and drinking) in some of the best cocktail bars around, Dan returned to Dundee to open 3 Session Street and see his dream become a reality.

Starting his bar-tending career after getting bored of playing card in 6th year canteen, Chris headed out to get a job, he discovered "Broons" the uber trendy cocktail bar and restaurant in the heart of St.Andrews. Serving Mojito's by the pint and Tequila by the bottle he quickly moved up the ranks to management. Follow positions for Mitchell & Butlers, Fairmont Hotel's, G1 and years in the Aberdeen scene, Chris moved to Oxford & London to test himself.
A year out to Snowboard and work his way around Canada made Chris decide that owning a bar was the dream. After meeting Dan on his first shift, the rest is history.

While Chris & Dan were the first owner/operators, and Gordon and Alison have now taken the reins, its important to note that none of this would have been possible without all our original shareholder and investors. To Ewan and Iain - we really couldn't have done this without your support. We look forward to growing Mixing Glass Bars Ltd and who knows.... there maybe another venue around the corner.
