Just returned from a trip to Scotland with my golfing group. We stayed at the nearby Brownlee. The pub at Greyfriars quickly became our go-to place for a pint (and occasional meal). The Flint Eye lager was top of the line, and the food was quite good. If I ever find myself in St. Andrews again, I will definitely pop in for a drink or two.

Family room was cracking with two tv's, massive bed in one area and two singles in a further part. Food was excellent both nights. Plates special kept us both happy.Fabulous pub to catch Ryder Cup in the home of golf.Special mention to Craig and Jade who kept us well watered and Fiona for excellent breakfast

A fairly centrally located Hotel/Bar on one of the main streets. Popped in here for a bite to eat after a visit to the nearby cinema. The service was excellent - a very nice waitress who was chatty and pleasant. It was a nice warm atmosphere and a reasonably busy bar on a cold wet evening. The menu was very limited but food was fine and was delivered quickly.
