The Jigger Inn in Fife

Great themed pub at an iconic golf course. Situated alongside the famous Road Hole (17th Fairway). Decor, atmosphere was authentic with many pictures and paintings showing the history and legends of golf. Had a reservation for four but place wasn’t busy. Staff were very welcoming, professional, attentive and should be commended for their work ethic. Entire place was clean including the restrooms. We ordered 2 fish and chips, 1 fish with onion rings, 1 burger, cokes and tea. The chips on the fish and burger were a mixture of fresh and old from previous frying. The fish itself was tasty and cooked well, batter was light and airy but with no taste and could have been better drained of oil. Burger was fine but nothing special. Prices are steep but expected due to the location. Not overly impressed but not put off returning with other golfing enthusiasts.

Always enjoy the jigger however on my last visit I noticed drink prices were a bit more expensive a bottle of cider and a medium glass of rosie £15.50

Staff on duty were very attentive. Food was served promptly and quality of food was very good. Great atmosphere as always in the Jigger!

Fantastic food, outstanding service and great ambience. Staff are excellent and attentive in every way. Special mention to Bart, who went above and beyond to ensure our group were well taken care of. Bart was exceptional. A must “go to” if you’re in St Andrews.

Excellent ! Was the food a bit pricey ? Sure. But I would imagine that’s to be expected at the most famous golf course in the world. The food was excellent - had the burger and the fish and chips. Both great. I personally say get the fish and chips. The wait staff were very attentive and checked on us frequently. And again - you can’t beat the view when you sit outside (which you should).

Super cute little pub in St Andrew - easy to get to from the Old Course, great pub food and great service

Great location on the edge of the 17th of the old course. Wee bit pricey but it is a bit of a tourist trap

It's St.Andrews.....enough said.

We went here on a recommendation from a local tour guide for the ambiance (overlooking the old course) and for, purportedly, the best fish and chips in England. The fish and chips were quite good, albeit very oily / heavy and it was wonderful sitting outside.

Great pint of Guinness..staff friendly

I booked two months in advance and was a bit disappointed. Our food had a hair, and the waiter insinuated that it could be ours. 🙄 and after that it was just not fun!

We had made reservations well in advance and were looking forward to what was described as an iconic venue. The service and the attitude of the staff left much to be desired. Not a pleasant experience

Bit pricey, but food was nice,and lots of drinks

A must visit place while in St Andrews. Check out all the photos inside and try to get a table outside to watch the golfers.

I can't possibly say enough good things about this place. It was our first stop when getting into St. Andrews. We got to sit outside(first come, first serve seating and sit at your own risk) and enjoy the views. But definitely keep your head on the swivel!!! The blind tee shots hit from the 17th tee are known to venture their way over into the patio area. My husband and I almost got hit by one. But, the atmosphere is electric and so worth taking that risk...for us at least. The service and food were incredible. We kept it light with a side order of Chunky Chips to split, a bowl of Cullen Skink, a Diet Coke, and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. It was all delicious and we enjoyed every bite! Thank you to the whole staff for helping us make these unforgettable memories.

Unreal location, right along the 17th hole on the Old Course, the Road Hole. Great pub to hang out and have a pint/good food.

The Jigger Inn in St Andrews is a charming, historic pub with a cosy atmosphere. It offers a great selection of ales and hearty, traditional Scottish food. Perfect spot for a drink after a round of golf or a relaxing meal. Possibly the best pub in Scotland and definitely the best 19th hole in golf.

Jigger Pub. Excellent spot with views over the Old Course 17th fairway at the home of golf in StAndrews. For a special treat we have visited many times over the last several years. This year, during the women’s open in July we manage to get a table in the outside area. Again, excellent views and service. The food however was poor quality. I had a Anster cheese and pickle sandwich, that consisted of a very small piece of cheese n pickle, which was poorly presented with a small portion of crisps. My friend had the chicken burger which was over cooked, very disappointed. BEWARE, not the quality of food expected from Pub charging 5 star Hotel prices ☹️ Alan Mc Kirkcaldy

Popped in for a drink with friends. Got the distinct impression that staff wanted food sales and not us hogging the table with drinks only. About 5pm we were asked to drink up because they wanted the table

Perfect location for a sunny Sunday lunch overlooking the Old Course in St Andrews. Staff are friendly and very attentive. Beer and wine just right and pub food with an American accent hit the spot

The Jigger Inn is Iconic as it sits along the Old Course famous 17th hole. Great view of the drives and approach shots to 17. The service, food and drink were all excellent. If you visit St Andrew’s, you have to stop for One!

Será que vienes cansado de luchar contra los elementos en el campo de golf, pero qué bien sienta una Guinness y una hamburguesa en una mesita mirando al 17!

Hole 19 of any St. Andrews Course (same as Dunvegan). Must it.

Great staff and great service and welcoming atmosphere the food was amazing was hot and had short wait for the food I would recommend for people to drop ing and get a bite

The service was outstanding, louise the server was very friendly and helpful

It's St. Andrews. You're at the Jigger Inn. Not much to complain about. Sit outside. Enjoy the views. Have a pint. Fish and chips were great. Good stuff ...

Way overpriced. Not much taste in the food.

Very good and iconic place, which cannot be missed in St.Andrews. Thanks Jim, excellent service.

Attended The Jigger Inn for my auntie's wake and they did her proud 👏. The team were really friendly and the food that was put on was phenomenal 👌. Great place, always has been and couldn't think of a better place to say our goodbyes to my aunty.

Spectacular experience sitting along the Road Hole on the Old Course with a pint! Blankets and heaters on the patio were a welcome addition on a cold, wet July day.

Great pub food. Sandwiches. Great bartenders Great service Best pub in town

Great view of the Old Course while on the patio, and the OLD COURSE FRIED CHICKEN BURGER was delicious!

What's to say...a small slice of heaven...right on the old course

A fantastic view whilst you dine/ drink. We went there during our short break to St Andrews and would definitely visit the Jigger Inn again. The food was delicious, especially the desserts. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and without needing to be asked, they immediately brought over a bowl of water when they saw we had our puppy with us (dogs allowed outside). Wish we had had more time to visit again before our trip ended.

Come and sit in the beer garden and watch the approach shots for the 17th hole at the old course. Try the Jigger ale. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic setting. Great view of the 17th and 18th on the Old Course. Lovely atmosphere. A great place to spend an afternoon

Great pub food! I enjoyed the fish and chips and the charred broccoli (which seems random for a pub but was really good).

We came in late from a long and fun day of golf, hungry and worried they were closing. The service was amazing and the food was excellent. The salmon was the best my daughter has had, the burgers were excellent, and I think the fish & chips may have been my best ever. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, even while busy. Hope we get back to St Andrews soon.

Good food and friendly service. Lots of history.

Fabulous venue, wonderful staff, delicious food

Didn't have food but sat out the back looking over the Old Course, great spot. great service and great atmosphere.

Staff very friendly and a great vibe here no matter what time of the year it is.

Lot of fun after our golf rounds. Food was okay, but atmosphere is great.

Great spot for a bit of grub ⛳️

Dined here with family. The Jigger Inn has nice food, scenery, and atmosphere. But it is expensive, very overpriced for what you get. £7.20 for a pint!! The staff were pleasant enough, it has lovely decor inside and is clean, and it's within lovely surroundings, but we just felt that it was vastly overpriced and did not offer value for money whatsoever. We wouldn't return on that basis I'm afraid.

Brilliant location, but expensive on the drinks

The location is amazing overlooking the 17the hole on the Old course! It feels like it should be a cosy old fashioned pub but in reality its a very pricy theme pub pretending to be traditional old scots. Great for the views of the golf course though

Quaint little restaurant with great food and service. The views are amazing.

Great pub in a small historic building; the staff were a lot of fun!

Expensive for a mediocre venue.

Very cute and fun place for a drink and a quick bite after some golf! It’s got a fun atmosphere and a lot of history. Definitely a good stop

Ok like all places in St Andrews too expensive

New interior, feels a bit uncomfortable.

enjoyed the history and food was tasty pub food and a 5 star service very attentive and great to see the old pictures dotted around the pub

It is one of the most unique Pubs in the world. The view is so beautiful. It is next to the oldest Golf course in the world, St. Andrews Old Course. While you can see outside you can watch the golf tournament and drink you scotch. The staff are fantastic and treat you as if they have known you for years. It has food but it is just pub food. You feel so comfortable and content you just do not want to leave.

Really good atmosphere, had the haggis croquettes to start with then the fish, lovely. Reasonably priced, it is St.Andrews after all.

Ok service, planned for lunch but served undrinkable pint of ‘jigger’ so made a swift exit. Beware of the beer!!!!

The venue is a traditional pub like inside . But food is several points above pub grub. We had booked in advance which was not straight forward via the old couse hotel as its bolted on the end of the hotel.

Liked it but a little disappointed that we couldn't sit inside. Impromptu visit so I suggest booking if you want to visit. Decent pint and great views over the Old & New Courses.

We enjoyed our lunch. Food was good and service efficient. It was pricey for what we had including the drinks. They are on a winner as golfers want to go there do they can charge.

Was good a while ago. Too expensive now :( The outside is too windy and cold unfortunately

Great lunch and pint after a tour of St Andrews. My favorite beer in the world is the Jigger Ale and I've now had it at Jigger Inn and Horse & Plow in Kohler, WI.

Considering the location would have expected more seasonal local produce....the menu was usual not very local stuff....Scotch Broth would have been preferable to chic pea tomato whatever...although the Cullen Skink was delicious..,Jigger Ale VG... furniture was made for Hobbits...overall OK

Cute cozy pub with bench like seating and tartan cushions. Attentive and clear waiters- will definitely come back!

A famous old place. Part of the wonderful Old Course Hotel. I'd recommend dining or dtinking in the OCH itself as you're paying 5 star prices for fare you'd get in many other pubs like the Jigger Inn but cheaper and with more indoor space

Love this place It's a must if visiting for ghe golf

We were here for a drink. The ambience is very nice and the service was excellent. It is very quaint, but very well maintained and chic. Even if you don't play golf, you can sit here very nicely. It's a little hidden next to the hotel. The sanitary rooms were very pleasantly clean and smelled very hygienic. I can't rate the food because we only ordered drinks. However, the food that was brought to the other tables looked very good.

BLT was awesome..service was even better.

Really rustic pub with excellent views. Staff really friendly. Premises spotlessly clean and food was excellent.

Quick lunch - Pub full but we’re accommodated outside. Food was great, blankets provided for outside in the cold. Staff were great, Tom was very good to us 👍

Popped in after a walk around the Old Course. Had a lovely lunch, served by happy and friendly staff.

Nice to visit this iconic location. Had a drink and watched the golf

I think this place coasts on its being part of the prestigious Old Course Hotel and the fact that once you're on the hotel's grounds, you're a long walk away from any other non-reserved, pricey dining in town. My burger tasted like it was full of filler and awash in gooey sauce.

What an amazing piece of history and unbelievable atmosphere! The food and the service are outstanding. James is top notch!

Outside the staff provided blankets which is a great touch.

Cute little pub next to the Old Course hotel with views of the 17/18th holes. Friendly staff, quick service. We didn’t eat but the food looked amazing! You must try the Old Course gin - only available in the Old Course hotels and bars. Delicious!

Great views - best beer in Scotland, the Jigger beer!! Good snacks and food as well for the entire family including the dogs!

Food and drinks were both great! Awesome staff also.

The best drink and snack at the old course. The staff is incredible. Have the fish and chips.

Staff friendly and polite, nice relaxed atmosphere

This was a really sad experience. This place has become a dingy, unwanted little place. It smelt of urine. A far cry from the historic icon it once was.

Special place... the Jigger... friendly staff and great atmosphere with the Walker cup being on.

in the town of St. Andrews It seems to be the most popular Italian restaurant. But when Japanese people order I ordered less oil and salt. I think it's better. Originally, British cuisine was high in salt. I think there are many stores.

Our first beer and cider after arriving in Scotland. What a great place! Staff is cheerful and helpful. The food is great. Right next to the Old Course so you get to see the players making their way through 17 and 18. The best pub in St Andrews (for me at least). We came back another 2 times because we enjoyed it so much.

Amazing food, service and view! Indoor and outdoor seating was great and the whole place just feels welcoming. Highly recommended.

Wall to wall covered in golf history. Lovely garden to sit and enjoy the St Andys links

What better place to enjoy beer a d food than as close to the 17th road hole bunker as you can get. Tje fish and chips at the Jiggers where fantastic as was the golf being played in front of us.

A must visit when in st andrews, history on the walls, and the atmosphere is amazing, good staff, little expensive, but it's a treat worth having.

You get what you expect is a bar near the 17th hole. Nice ambiente good view to the course.

Popped in for a quick drink and sat outside beside the 17th fairway. Efficient staff in a unique position.

Stopped by for a drink, sat in the outdoor terrace where they had big cosy blankets and patio heaters. Friendly, attentive staff!

Only go in there if you are a golfer.

By far the best meal we’ve had in Fife this week and it wasn’t a rip off unlike some of the other places we visited. A special mention to the young chap by the name of Ruaridh who couldn’t have done more for us if he had tried this is what true service should be like in all restaurants/pubs it certainly won’t be the last time we eat at the Jigger a true gem in St Andrews with fantastic views of the Road hole!

Great pub. Brilliant if you get an outside table for drinks at the side of the 17th " Road hole " fairway and can watch the players as they go. Some sad faces among them after the drive going wrong. Food looks good too, heard a lot of praise, no complaints. Staff very professional and can't do enough to help or serve you, and this is what will make people come back Not all bookings it's a walk in, but unfortunately we never found it quiet enough to eat at. Always next time

Road hole,what could be better.

Part of golfing history and a traditional old Scottish pub with food from the Old Course Hotel. The 'beer garden' overlooks the last few holes of the Old Course. Dogs aren't allowed inside, but all are welcome in the beer garden. It's a lovely place for a long lunch, whether you're a golfing fan or not.

Beautiful small bar in St. Andrews Old course hotel friendly people. A must go in place. Very tiny but good

Great food, great service, and great location. I honestly couldn't fault anything. The staff were very attentive, and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back.

Didn't eat so can't comment on meals. Over from Australia and had a wander round to take photo's for my golf mad mate there. Not a golfer myself, but in Scotland so had to visit.

Nice pub with some great golfing memorabilia on the walls
