Drouthy Neebors, St Andrewsback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This pub was redeveloped over the summer and its character has been completley destroyed. the other posts here all seem to make reference to before this unhappy occurance. Here's a heads up,
-The pub has been gutted
-old interior replaced by ubiqutous chrome/glass Westport-esque 'trendy' (allegedly) look
I actually met the designer of the new look and and told him how he could stick his new order up whence it came.

Most time whiled away in Drouthys is spent discussed how great it is! Perfect for propping up the bar in the afternoons with a pint, as well as for getting wasted on the sofas and always lively on a friday/wkend evening. Frequented by both locals and students, and also the odd celebrity!

Yea, its a decent pub. Of course, any pub is going to struggle when its in the same town as Aikmans Cellar bar, but Drouthys does it well. Not particularly good choice of beer though.
Can aquire blow up sheep (as well as other items) from vending machines in the toilet.

Bit dark and smoky for my taste. Weird glass panel in wall. Narrow room. Good beer selection - but a bit pricey. Are the walls brown with nicotine, or is it deliberate? Interesting ceiling decor.

Nice little pub with good traditional theme and great atmosphere. Staff are friendly and helpful and the food and drink are top notch - well worth a visit. Also has good music playing and a number of different events on during the week including happy hours, a good quiz and jazz evenings.

A cracking place, superb to hide in out of the cold! If you're looking for a comfortable, well kept pub in St. Andrews (without so many of the arsehole students), then this is the place. One of the few placed that isn't a bar, and isn't hideously expensive.
Local and national real ale is always available (pumps are on the corner of the bar, near the two seating areas at the rear of the pub), with some tasty food to boot. Lighter seating is available at and near the window, while the two back rooms are great for hiding away in, one with pew-seating & chairs, the other with a couple of sofas. There's even a Jenga game, if you're in the mood, and you can work out where you are with the local maps on the toilet ceiling.. ;o)
