After a lovely walk along the beach my partner and I decided to lunch at the Jigger Inn. The ambience of the pub is lovely, quirky layout and nice fire which was indeed welcome on such a cold day. We found a nice little table and ordered some drinks. My partner opted for a pint of 'St Andrews Bitter' which... More

This is such a cute old pub. Very dark, with different little hidden rooms and private areas, and really nice outdoor seating overlooking the golf course. We went in November, but the weather was nice enough that we sat outdoors for lunch (so I guess they keep the outoor aarea open even in some winter months). We had drinks indoor... More

Our concierge at the Fairmont recommended this place for pub food. We are golfers so the location right off the old course was fantastic. The pub itself is very intimate (ie small) but we were lucky enough to get seated for dinner right away. The burger was AMAZING, not like the burgers we had throughout the rest of our stay... More
