Justin Bieber filmed his latest music video in a Dundee pub<\/p>\n

When you’re working in a Dundee bar on a Saturday night, a visit from Justin Bieber is the last thing you’d expect.<\/p>\n

Manager Rae Wright had to do a double-take when the pop superstar and his entourage “waltzed in” to the Abandon Ship pub.<\/p>\n

The Canadian singer was so impressed with the venue that he filmed an impromptu music video.<\/p>\n

The video has now been viewed more than 3.7 million times, and footage of locals drinking with Bieber has been circulating widely on social media.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old, who flew into the city by private jet on Thursday, was also seen over the weekend playing golf at St Andrews and Gleneagles.<\/p>\n

Justin Bieber was spotted in the Abandon Ship at the weekend<\/p>\n

Bar manager Rae Wright said the superstar came into the city centre pub asking if there was DJ equipment he could use.<\/p>\n

She said: “It was just a standard Saturday night and then he waltzes in with three or four people.<\/p>\n

“He put his speaker on, set the place up, put a couple of lights on and then he just started filming.”<\/p>\n

Rae was initially unsure if it actually was the singer.<\/p>\n

Bar manager Rae Wright said the singer happily chatted to staff and customers<\/p>\n

She said: “I’m used to the baby Justin Bieber with the hair flick and stuff, but obviously I’ve followed him a little bit.<\/p>\n

“But no-one walks around Dundee in a green beanie looking like that.<\/p>\n

“And then my manager gave me the side eye that said, no this is really the Biebs.” <\/p>\n

Rae said Bieber was “lovely” and happily spoke to the bar staff and customers.<\/p>\n

She said: “He chatted to the bar staff like we were actually people, which a lot of people don’t seem to do.<\/p>\n

“It will be nice when we’ve actually processed it all and think, wow, Justin Bieber was here.”<\/p>\n

Bieber has spent several days in Scotland<\/p>\n

Bieber posted the video to his social media channels<\/a> on Monday night with the message “Bad Honey video for your headtops”.<\/p>\n

The bar shared the video on its Facebook page<\/a>, posting: “You might have heard we had a special visitor over the weekend. <\/p>\n

“Enjoy Justin Bieber laying down a new video for Bad Honey live at Abandon Ship right here in Dundee, Scotland.”<\/p>\n
