  “Had a lovely experience when I was in for some drinks with my friends. The lovely Ilana served us at the bar who gave us some tasty drink recommendations which went down a treat. The service was quick and friendly, we will definately be back.”

  “The Rule is a pub that is kid friendly and has tons of options to eat located in the heart of St. Andrews. I had the sourdough pizza which was delightful and my wife had a double cheese burger. We will def be back when we visit St. Andrews again. Louise the manager was also super friendly and helped us navigate menu! From Kev of Black Birdie Golf”

  “I asked at the bar if the Iron Brew was a lager, and the lady at the bar said yes. I ordered it, but upon tasting it, I realised it was very sweet. My friends suggested I ask her to exchange it, since she hadn't mentioned it was a lager with a distinctive flavor. I’m not Scottish, so I didn't know a beer like that existed; I just wanted a standard lager. I politely asked if she could swap it for me, but she refused. I find the lack of attentiveness and effort truly disappointing. It wouldn't have been hard for her to explain that it was a flavored lager when I first asked about it. Terrible service.”

  “I LOVE THE RULE!!!! Today we were served by Scott, Pam, Mackenzie and Rachael and they are all fab (although all the staff are always fab hehe), we had a boozy brunch and it’s such good value for money, defo recommend downloading the MiXR app though to save a bit as well!!! Rachael made some fabulous cocktails, even going off menu for us, couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Food was yummy too! Every time I go in here it’s fantastic!!! (We couldn’t resist taking a sip of the espresso martinis before a photo whoops)”

  “I had an amazing experience here! The breakfast was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Later, I tried the smash burger and it was incredible: juicy, packed with flavor, and easily one of the best I’ve had in a while. The service was fantastic as well. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the whole visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for great food and excellent service!”

  “An absolutely outstanding experience at The Rule in St Andrews. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of character. The food was exceptional—beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and clearly made with care. What truly made the visit unforgettable, though, was the service. James and Taiya went above and beyond to make us feel looked after, with genuine friendliness, great recommendations, and attention to every detail. Their professionalism and warmth really elevated the whole experience. Can’t recommend The Rule highly enough and will definitely be returning. If you’d like it to sound more casual, more formal, or tailored specifically to food, drinks, or service, just tell me 👍”

  “An amazing place to spend time with your family and friends. This place has a great atmosphere and friendly staff. A beer garden is also available for bookings. The food was amazing. Cooked well, tasted well and was served in a decent time. The only things I did not like were the black, hard and burnt outer sides of the pizza. The cakes in the desserts too were very hard.”

  “Dog friendly. Awesome ‘Secret garden’ out the back with covered booths for a good Coronavirus safe drinking session. Food is fairly basic but tastes great and is super value. Great bar, lively atmosphere, full of students even in the middle of January. Get in early if you want a table! Great selection of beers and wines, disappointing cider selection though. Reasonably priced, will be back for sure.”
