Arriving by private jet, he also visited St Andrews and Gleneagles for golf. Bar staff described him as friendly and down-to-earth, interacting warmly with patrons.

Justin Bieber recently made headlines during his visit to Scotland, where he filmed a music video for his latest single in a Dundee pub, much to the surprise and delight of local patrons. The Canadian superstar was spotted at Abandon Ship, a popular city-centre venue, over the weekend, and the video for his song Bad Honey was shot entirely within the pub, capturing an intimate and spontaneous performance.

Arriving in Dundee on Thursday via private jet, the 31-year-old singer spent several days exploring the area. In addition to filming the video, he was seen enjoying rounds of golf at some of Scotland’s most iconic courses, including St Andrews and Gleneagles. His visit has attracted attention both for his music and his leisure activities, with the Bad Honey video already racking up more than three million views on his Instagram account shortly after its release.

Bar manager Rae Wright recounted the unexpected visit with enthusiasm, explaining that Bieber asked if he could use DJ equipment for the video. “It was just a standard Saturday night, and then he waltzes in with three or four people,” she said. “He put his speaker on, set up the place, added a couple of lights, and then he just started filming.” At first, Rae admitted she was uncertain whether the visitor was really Justin Bieber.

She recalled her initial disbelief: “I’m used to the baby Justin Bieber with the hair flick and everything, and I’ve followed him a little bit. But no one walks around Dundee in a green beanie looking like that. Then my manager gave me the side eye that basically said, no, this is really the Biebs.” Despite the initial shock, Rae described the singer as approachable and friendly, highlighting how he interacted warmly with staff and customers alike. “He chatted to the bar staff like we were actually people, which a lot of people don’t seem to do,” she said. “It will be nice when we actually process it all and think, wow, Justin Bieber was here.”

Bieber himself shared the Bad Honey video on his social media channels on Monday night, captioning it: “Bad Honey video for your headtops.” The pub also posted the video on its official Facebook page, noting: “You might have heard we had a special visitor over the weekend. Enjoy Justin Bieber laying down a new video for Bad Honey live at Abandon Ship right here in Dundee, Scotland.”

Footage has circulated on social media showing the singer enjoying drinks with local patrons at the pub over the weekend. In addition, Bieber posted images of himself enjoying a beer on the streets of St Andrews on Sunday morning, adding to the impression that he was keen to experience Scottish life beyond his filming commitments. During his trip, he was also seen at the Gleneagles Hotel, where he was filmed playing the piano and performing his song Walking Away, further showcasing his spontaneous and down-to-earth approach to his visit.

The visit has left a lasting impression on locals, many of whom are still processing the fact that a global superstar appeared unannounced in a small city-centre pub. The combination of Bieber’s casual demeanor, willingness to interact with fans and staff, and the surprise filming of a music video has made this weekend in Dundee a memorable one for everyone involved. His presence not only brought excitement to the local community but also highlighted how celebrities can connect with people in personal and unexpected ways, creating moments that are shared widely across social media and beyond.
