Golfer's Corner Lounge Bar at Dunvegan in Fife

This pub is truly a cornerstone of any visit to St. Andrews. You can not beat its location, especially the small patio, and the atmosphere is so golfer-friendly I can't imagine a more golf-centric pub anywhere in the world. A good selection of beers and OK, but not the best, service. Sadly, the food was terrible. My first order, the mac and cheese, was so bad I had to return it. I then asked for the chicken baguette. It was terrible too. Sadly, the menu does not have much traditional Scottish pub fare, which is what one might expect when you are 100 yards from the Old Course.

What a fantastic spot. Full of history, great people and absolutely buzzing with atmosphere. The service would put any place through it's paces, the kind of watering hole you never want to leave! And - the foots spot on.

Nice pint of Guinness but barman Repeatedly pours the Guinness too fast resulting in a big head although a nice pint but not a full pint

Golfers choice of pubs/pubs at St Andrews! Pictures galore of pro golfers, celebrities and politicians as well as movers and shakers! Beer is cold, rowdy atmosphere at times, and a little better then your average bar. We actually went there twice! A must place to go to tell all your golfing buddies🏌🏼

It’s a must do when visiting the home of golf for my friends and I. Great atmosphere lively but staff excellent and engaging. Didn’t eat this time, but wish we had once we’d left as other bars lacking the atmosphere or were too ‘student focused’ for us. See you next time

great place packed to the gunnels when there is an event on - reasonable prices for drinks and food is ok - great atmosphere and most of the time the staff are fabulous - recommended

I’ve eaten here in 2013, 2014, and now again in 2023. It’s a pub. Expect pub food and drinks. Their signature drink (“The Phillips”, I believe they call it, but I could be wrong) went over very well with my daughter and wife. I had the steak and ale pie and overall the food, drink, and service were all good. What really brings people here is the fact that it is just a tad over 100 yards away from the Old Course and all of the photos of famous golfers, actors, etc. who have been here. I understand that “new” owners took over from Jack and Sheena (from my previous visits) and the photos do seem to have new characters in them now, while many remain from Jack and Sheena’s days as well. There’s history here and it’s worth stopping by for at least a drink, if not a meal as well.

Our foursome went to the Dunvegan restaurant for dinner. The setting is small with four or five tables but we found ourselves sharing the only room with a table of 12 golfers and another small table occupied by a family of six with two teenage girls. The table of golfers was extremely loud and there was considerable swearing (F word often shouted). I spoke with a woman who appeared to be the lead server to complain. She said that this was a golfers' pub and what I was hearing was "atmosphere." It's important to note that we weren't in the pub but in the restaurant. After completing a so-so dinner, we retired to the pub as we were tired of waiting for our check. The other table did the same. They complained about the noise also to no avail. In the pub both parties were given our check by the lead server and we each paid but again complained about the shouting and swearing. The woman offered a vague apology and seemed happy to see us leave. While paying the bill, two individuals from the table of 12 approached us to apologize for their group's behavior. There staff needs to understand the meaning of the word "atmosphere" and the definition of proper decorum--especially among teenage girls. The restaurant is for the benefit of ALL customers.

We simply stopped in for a few pints and the place was hoppin and the small deck was perfect for people watching- bartenders very friendly and lots of paraphernalia on the walls to make you feel like this has been the place after a round- and it is-!

Stopped for a drink and a lunchtime meal . Great quick service even with it being very busy. The waitresses were very friendly and very efficient. The food was all good. Would definitely go back.

Visited this establishment and was very disappointed in the food that we received. I know that in the current financial climate all things are expensive but we paid £5 for a side of macaroni which would probably cost pennies. Chicken wings that were not advertised as spicy and to hot for my taste and could not eat was close to £10.

It's a tradition to go to the Dunvegan after your round at the Old Course. Especially your first time. Do it. But do it for the experience to see all of the pictures and enjoy the camaraderie with your partners. The service was OK, teh beer was cold but the food was blah frankly -- an expensive over done burger and US fries for too many pounds. The only so so meal in our 21 day trip around Scotland.

Poorly managed during the open and just full of very drunk people. Seemed no control over entry and even worse inside. Such a shame

Every visit must include a drink and meal here. We beat the lunch rush on graduation week - three years in three days. What a celebration. After that I think there is always an open table. Get the chili Mac. Well maybe chili and rice. Delicious.

This is a great place to eat and relax after a round at the St. Andrews links. It's just a wee walk from the 18th green. The food is basic pub food, but it was filling and good. They have several brews on tap. Can't beat it if you're a golf fan. Friendly staff and good service.

Ist eine Institution in St Andrews. Tolle Atmosphäre Studenten genauso wie Golfer. Muss man erleben. Wir haben nur einige Pints genossen und die hatten einen angemessenen Preis.

Great atmosphere and friendly. Great food and if there’s a Pro golf event anywhere close, at night all the players are in the pub.

Whether you prefer Caledonian Best or Dunvegan Lager, this is the perfect spot to chill out after golf and 'rehydrate'. The staff work the COVID rules really well and without fuss so it is a great place to go.

Great service, great location, good wholsome bar food with a busy passing trade most suitable for American visitors

While the connection to Texas A&M is a bit mystifying, don't be alarmed. The Golfer's Corner is an awesome spot, and at least in March, not overrun by Americans. We spent an enjoyable afternoon watching the first round of the Players (before it was cancelled due to COVID-19) while having lunch. Food is typical pub grub, but it's a fun place to hang out. The atmosphere is golf, golf, golf. The pictures are amazing. Decades worth.

Tanto para celebrar una buena vuelta en el Old course como para ahogar en cerveza un fracaso, es obligado el paso por Dunvegan, a unos pocos metros del ultimo green, el del icónico hoyo 18.Comida poco sofisticada, buena cerveza y una estupenda carta de whisqui. Golf por doquier. Buen sitio y pintoresco.

If you like a quiet evening this is not the place for you. It is a vibrant busy pub We found the service to be excellent, the food basic pub grub. The pub is all about golf, golf and more golf.

Close to the course, this classic pub is extremely popular with golfers. The fish and chips are awesome and with a good selection of beer on tap and whiskey, you can't go wrong. Reasonable prices as well.Locals and staff are friendly creating a very inviting atmosphere. I was staying two doors down, so visited on several occasions.

Barra sólida con una muy buena selección de cerveza. Comimos aquí ya que mi prometido quería verlo después de nuestra ronda de golf. La comida era decente; las alitas de pollo eran pequeñas e increíblemente picantes. Venía por bebidas y por el ambiente, no por la comida.

Ok it’s October, it’s St Andrews and it isn’t “tropical” but there is always a warm welcome, a friendly atmosphere, chatty staff and fab clientele.The sun was shining and we visited The Dunvegan, as part of our day out. It is always great in here and their own beer/lager is very good. Not an extensive menu but what there is is tasty, yummy and good value for money.Apart from the totally awesome decor of photos everywhere you look the fellow clients, often American, just add chat, laughs and fun. If in St Andrews please give this great place a try.

Recently I have been meeting friends here quite frequently ... whether it’s for Drinks or Food we always receive a warm welcome from the Staff and they sure do take care of us all. Food is delicious, quick efficient service & always made to feel welcome. The bar is always extremely busy but nothing is too much for the staff, they are all happy to help. Great bar with ideal Golf atmosphere ⛳️

If you are in St Andrews for golf and don’t visit here for a least one pint, you are doing it wrong. To do it right, have a few! The time spent here will be more than worth it.

After playing the Old Course we went to Dunvegan. I sat on the veranda smoking a big stogie sipping on my Belhaven watching the golf world go by.

St. Andrews tappa obbligatoria per chi come me ha ben tre golfisti in famiglia ! Questo pub è la mecca del golf ! Le pareti sono tappezzate di foto di tutti i golfisti più famosi al mondo da quando è nato il golf. Collage moderni si alternano a stampe antiche. Merita di essere visto, il cibo e regolare ma l’atmosfera pazzesca !

Crowded and I mean PACKED- a golf watering hole quite clearly with tall tales and stories of rounds and holes in one etc. Tatty and run down - difficult to get served- as staff dont seem that interested. Lots of baseball caps and sunburned people...

Amazing seats outside where you can have a drink and watch the world go by. Its near the golf club and is patrionised by many different cultures.

Good staff who always cleared the tables of glasses and would bring your drinks to your table. Great for golfing enthusiasts, didn't have food but plenty of folk did....cleared plates, not expensive.

Just because there is “vegan” in the name, DON’T be fooled. There is meat galore here and a full and complete bar. You want spice, you got it. You want mild... that too. Main courses and starters, take your pick. And there’s a special place for Texans here. Walls and ceilings adorned with autographed guest photos.

Excellent choice for dinner! I had salmon, my wife had filet mignon. Both cooked to perfection! Nice atmosphere. Was privileged to meet the previous owner, Sheena. Wow! Does she have stories. Awesome experience!

Je pensais faire découvrir un endroit sympathique et typique de St Andrews.

Stopped here after walking the town of St. Andrews. The soup was tasty as was the steak pie. Service was a little slow but the bar was very busy. Reasonably priced.

Nous avons appelé et au téléphone on nous donne rendez-vous pour dîner en spécifiant bien qu’on aurait aucun souci

A strangely hot day in June and the town was jumping with tourists. There is no place better to soak up the atmosphere than this super bar, so golfy, but just so good. Everybody chats to each other, the staff are fab, and the selection of fine whiskies is great. Their own lager is excellent too.

A riesgo de parecer realmente estadounidense, esta fue mi comida favorita de toda la semana en Escocia. Tuve el Beef Beer Pie y mi amigo tenía Mac y queso. Ambos eran excelentes y las personas que nos rodeaban parecían estar realmente disfrutando sus comidas también. El ambiente era muy animado y nuestra camarera fue muy divertido.

Great service and nice lunch at a reasonable price. It is worth taking the time to view the fabulous golfing memorabilia

Paré a almorzar después de visitar el curso. Está a la vuelta de la esquina. Tenía un gran almuerzo. Staeknwrap y pastel de carne estaban deliciosos. El personal fue muy amable. Las paredes y los techos están cubiertos por fotos de jugadores que han estado allí. Gran historia como se ve en las fotos.

Bar scene was good, apps were fine but the main courses (3 burgers of various types and a fish and chips) were by far the worst we had in St Andrews. Service was pleasant if a little slow.

Llegamos a la calle. Andrews es demasiado temprano para registrarse en nuestro hotel, mucho antes de la hora de salida de la tarde y ya habíamos visto a los golfistas en la calle. Andrews Old Course # 1 y # 18. Era hora de comer.

Piccolo tempio del golf. Perfetto per una 19sima buca respirando ancora l’aria dei green. Buonissimo l’hamburger.

We phoned the pub as we were walking up the 18th fairway and by the time we finished a table was waiting for us. The service and attentiveness toward our needs was outstanding. The golf memorabilia was worth the visit itself. You could spend several hours just sipping scotch and enjoying the memorabilia. Definitely a must go place for golfers. The food was good but basically your normal pub food which adequately satisfied our needs. The selection of whiskeys and beers was fine. I will definitely return on my next St. Andrews pilgrimage.

We were there during the Master's. It was amazing to be in a place where everyone appreciates golf. The bar drinks and food matched their excellent service. An experience not to be missed.

I have been to this spot a few times before but that would never stop me from coming back. The beer is always cold and my sandwich was very filling. Plus, the history of the place with all the photos of past and current TOUR players makes for an entertaining visit.

Enjoyed walking over after closing hole on the Old Course to knock down some pints ... the place breathes golf and staff are super cool & always in for a chat.

This is the place for a beer and maybe some nachos after golf (or any other time, actually.) I come to St. Andrews each year; however, this was the first time I have tried the Dunvegan. The fish and chips were very good and the nachos were unique and outstanding. Highly recommended.

If you want designer food this is not your place. If you want good fish and chips or good post golf comfort food this is your place. The talk of birdies and almost birdies and tales of walking over the Swilken Bridge fill the air with golfers from all corners of the globe. Fun place if you can find a seat

El Dunny es un lugar que debes visitar si estás en la calle. Andrews! El pub está ubicado justo al final de la calle desde el lugar más grande del mundo, el tee de la calle 1 y el green número 18 de The Old Course. Un montón de carácter y un gran lugar para una hamburguesa con queso y una pinta!

Había visto historias sobre este lugar en el Canal de Golf, así que era una visita obligada. Estuvimos allí en un viaje Make - A - Wish para que nuestro hijo juegue el Old Course. Él tenía el filete que amaba y yo tenía el Cordero, que era una golosina muy buena y rara. Su madre había pescado. A nuestro hijo le gustó tanto que quería comer allí cada noche, pero solo lo hicimos 2 veces. Fotos geniales de profesionales famosos y otros visitantes en las paredes y el techo.

Food was so good we ate here every night of our stay at the Dunvegan. We only had lunch out but only because we ate at the golf courses we played.

Este es nuestro décimo viaje consecutivo a la calle Andrews para jugar al golf. Nos dedicamos a visitar The Dunvegan cada vez, este año no ha sido una excepción. El bar y las habitaciones contiguas están llenas de recuerdos de golf. Es un lugar especial para visitar para sumergirse en la calle Andrews. yo. mi. golf. El bar ofrece muchas cervezas y cervezas, sin mencionar las grandes opciones de whisky. Bien vale la pena una visita

If you want to be in a tourist trap with lots of drunk, loud, and obnoxious people this is the place for you! There are so many wonderful cozy pubs within walking distance of The Old Course pass this one up! It's not worth it.

Fair food in a perfect location. The staff was fun but it was full of other tourist. It was a great place to organize our walking tour of St. Andrews.

The world famous Dunvegan is too well known and loved for me to even need to write a review but I love her too much not to do so! The food is great and the beer is soothing (just add Innis & Gunn please). Couple this with the fact that you never know who you might bump in to. And there's always good conversation to be had and golf is constantly on the televisions. I could spend a day just studying all the photographs.

Everyone must top by and have a pint of beer and fish & Chips. People from all over the world will be there!

The fish and chips are delicious, as is any food I have had here, but it is all about the atmosphere. You are surrounded by the history of golf (at least The Open) and fellow people silly enough to travel from around the world to play golf in a pasture. The servers and bartenders are friendly and efficient.

I had a lovely afternoon at the Dunvegan. A great variety of cold beer and the food was served in a very efficient way. They pride themselves on fast service. They did a wonderful job Thank you to all.

There are two things every golfer should do at St. Andrews: play The Old Course and stop for a pint at the Dunvegan. It has a quintessential Scottish pub feel - small, crowded, great beer - and it decked wall-to-wall with golf photos. The atmosphere is busy and bustling with golfers and it the location is a very short walk from the 18th green at The Old Course. I didn't have any food there but the Dunvegan Lager is a smooth tasting brew that tastes even better after a round of golf. The Dunvegan is right up there with the Jigger Inn as a must-visit pub in St. Andrews.

Friendy, busy bar, good beer and whisky. Food looked good, service good. If you want to watch sport, plenty of TV screens but volume turned down so you can chat.

I had heard reports that since the Dunvegan had been sold it had got its act together with regard to food. But alas not.

Inside or outside this is a must visit. Food is very good. Definitely try the Haggis Bon Bons. The Fish and Chips are really good too and we tried them at every restaurant that had them in St Andrews.

A strangely hot day in July and the town was jumping with tourists. There is no place better to soak up the atmosphere than this super bar, so golfy, but just so good. Everybody chats to each other, the staff are fab, and the selection of fine whiskies is great. Their own lager is excellent too. It is so quirky with all the wonderful golf related photos which would certainly need the assistance of a few beers when pondering there historical past of golf glories in the past. Don’t forget to look up to. Always worth a visit no matter where you are from.

Stopped in for a pint and some food. Great fish and chips and local singing. There are a couple benches out front to have a quiet pint or join in the fray with the rest of the lot.

At the airport, we spoke to a group of guys also going to St Andrews and one of the guys insisted we go to the Dunvegan Bar. So glad he mentioned this place. Not that we wouldn't have found it anyway as it is just off the 18th green at The Old Course, but we may not have gone in, if not for the recommendation.

Great place for drinks and appetizers. Iconic post-golf, not to miss spot. The atmosphere was jubilant. The service was spotty. Hard to get the attention of servers and they were a bit crabby. But worth going for the overall experience. Smoking is permitted on patio, so don’t sit there or near there if that bothers you.

We stopped at Dunvegan's a couple of times while in St. Andrews. It's a great place to meet lots of golfers (and some caddies) after your round. It was incredible to be there watching as Fleetwood attempted to break the US Open scoring records. The locals were cheering every shot (except the penultimate putt.) Food was typical bar fare but reasonably priced. Theme seems to be "welcome Americans." Several of the waitresses were US citizens who were studying at the university in town.

Exciting history on all walls. Pictures of golfers and room of winners. Staff friendly. Food good. Alittle cramped. Food and location was no good that we returned the next day.

This is a gem of a bar-restaurant. Roughly one hundred yards from the 18th green of the Old Course at St. Andrew's, the walls and ceiling covered with pictures of just about every great golfer who ever played, and celebrities galore.. Great service, really good food, in fantastic atmosphere.

I visited some 12 years ago and loved the ambiance in the pub, so I thought it would be nice to take the 7 people I was with this year to visit.

The staff is warm and welcoming and the pub exudes charm and history. The pub is a part of golf history with great memorabilia and photos of pros visiting the charming establishment.

I stepped into the pub and was hit by a wave of nostalgia for my years in the UK - it may have had something to do with the mixed aromas of beer and malt vinegar!

Wonderful place right by the Old Course and first time I was there about 13 years ago met Arnie's old caddie. He had a favorite table and would tell the good tales.

Fuimos movidos por las críticas y cabe decir que es un sitio digno de ver por lo curioso que es. Todas sus paredes llenas de fotos y anécdotas del mundo del golf así como dos televisiones emitiendo constantemente este deporte. Tras visitar el old course hay que ir sí o sí. La comida es buena y el personal muy amable. Casi todo el mundo pedía hamburguesas aunque el pastel de carne también está muy bien

Visited this establishment several times during my week in St. Andrews. Both after rounds with my Caddie, then late night for Masters viewing. As the Masters Tournament is on TV from 6 to midnight in Scotland. Lot's of golf fans in this fun little Pub! All cheering for this guy, or rooting against that guy! But all in a good natured and fun way!

I come to St A’s often and, in any visit, usually hit the Dunvegan a couple different times. This past week, I came three times, twice for cocktails and once for a meal in the Claret Jug Restaurant attached to the Dunvegan. At the Claret Jug, you get good food in a quiet setting that will keep you very full. I love their lamb chops.

Good Local Pub just a block from the Rusacks Hotel. Servers well prepared Pub Food and a wide variety go ales and mixed drinks at a very reasonable price. Service is fast and friendly. Ate there 4 times during a recent trip to Saint Andrews - Highly recommend you visit.

After spending nearly two hours in Auchterlonies Golf shop getting my new 5 wood , it was only fitting to cross the road to Golfers Corner Bar @ Dunvegan to wet the head of my new club!!! Great service and great wine , love all the golf pictures , walls and ceiling. A must go to for all visitors to St Andrews.

Go for the atmosphere. The food and drink are pretty standard pub fare. Nothing too outstanding. The pub is located near the 18th hole of the St Andrews Old Course. There are pictures of hundreds of major golfers throughout the years lining the walls and ceilings. Many of the pictures are taken with the owner of the place.

After a fine round of golf at St Andrews went to the Dunvegan for a beer and a feed of Haggis Balls and Crumbed chicken wings whilst reading all the photos on the walls and roof - great spot if your a golfing nut like...

This is an atmospheric pub a wedge shot away from the 18th green of the Old Course. It has a...

Excellent Lindsay is fantastic!!! The food is well worth the price. People are very friendly and accommodating!

Just visiting the Old Course and stumbled on this little Pub. Staff were friendly and the walls and ceiling are...

Perfect bar to visit from our hotel. Staff was great. Drinks and food superb. If you are in St. Andrews,...

Although this is a busy restaurant the quality of food is extremely poor. Remember we are in the best area...

Excelente bar, no se puede dejar de ir si se visita St Andrews, bar típico del lugar a solo una cuadra del hoyo 18 de la Old Course

Ideal stop after a long day on the links and in the clubhouse. Staff friendly and place full of male golfers.

I've been to St. Andrews several times over the last eight years. Each time, I've made a point to stop for a pint and a steak & ale pie at the Dunvegan. It is usually always crowded with happy patrons and golfers. The food, drink and atmosphere have always been good. I would say it continues to be good.. it's just not great anymore.

It was our first night. We didn't need anything too pricey or fancy. The place was packed but we got a table for two. Staff were excellent, helpful and we hadn't to wait too long to be served. We were happy with one course and our choice was excellent and hit the spot.

Its small, noisey and crowded after golf - Some great memorabilia - great old pub. Just not great food unless you are with a bunch of Buds. Steaks are firm and just OK and burgers were disappointing. But we had a good time drinking beer. Not recommended if you looking to enjoy the food and have drinks. It's drinks first and tell stories. Guess you have to say you were there. I prefer the Jigger INN or Playfair.

Bar-restaurante situado muy cerca del campo de golf. Es un local pequeño y ruidoso pero el servicio es amable. Paredes llenas de imágenes relativas al golf y pantallas de televisión retransmitiendo. Comida razonable, raciones abundantes, sobre todo de pasta y arroz. Muy bueno el salmón. Precios medios.

Great place for a beer and a quick bite after golf. The beer was great and the lively place had great chili. Mostly golfers in there and it seemed like most were American tourists. In fact we met some folks in there from our home town on the East Coast of the US.

Stop by for dinner after playing a wonderful round of golf at The Old Course… The food was good, not great… And for the most part, the service was also good. They had one waitress who was unhappy and expressed herself poorly to the customer. So, 3 stars...

I was part of a group golf trip and ate lunch in the pub which was quite nice for a reasonably priced lunch and drinks but my review is regarding our overpriced dinner. Our driver booked the Dunvegan restaurant and it was apparent when walking in, the dinner area was aimed at golf group trips. Not sure if our driver got some type of reward for taking us here but the only other diners were another group of golfers. The entrees were about 30-35 lbs and although the meet quality was good, the sauces and other condiments were not as described. The lamb with peppercorn brandy reduction was more like a brown gravy. We did have a good time but if I were to return, I would stick to the pub fare in the casual section and insist your driver stop somewhere else for a nice dinner.. Another annoying part of the meal is the 90's o music that repeated over and over. When I asked about the choice of music, I was informed they only have one cd and they play it over and over and over again.

Appetizers in the bar were awesome. Definitely a must-have. Drinks were plentiful and service was outstanding. Three cheers for Lindsay who served our large group of 12 hungry and belligerent golfers. She dished it out and kept everything coming just perfectly. Absolute best.

We spent every night of our 5 day golf trip closing down the Dunvegan. It is has a fantastic vibe and its location is a dream. What makes this please extra special are the staff. Lindsey was our favorite, and she was sharp and witty as an caddie we encountered. Her banter was spot on. We had business guests and she made all of the laugh and feel included. Some even remembered her from a few years back. Only unfortunate incident was when I told the owner she was being rude as a bit of a joke. I think he may have taken it to heart and I hope it was explained later sorry Linz.Also I wish I would have purchased a Dunvegan polo while I was there. Any chance you ship to the states? You guys are the best and I hope to be back soon.

What a great little pub with great food. Mac and cheese were amazing. Stayed hot from the time it arrived at the table, until I couldn't eat any more. Great portions.

The food and drink here are as great as you have heard, along with the service. not a three minute walk up the hill from the 18th- do yourself a favor and head there!
