The Rule Pub Diner in Fife

The Rule is great! We came in for drinks and ended up on the Boozy Brunch(£33 for a large brunch dish and 6 cocktails!) deal which is amazing value! Great food-pub grub done really well and Beverly big portions. Cocktails were fab-potent and came with the garnishes you don’t always get on deals like this. Above all the service was outstanding. We were asked frequently if we needed anything, if we needed our next drink and the girls who served us were all fabulous. Friendly and helped with choices too. We were attended by Iona, Rachael and Louise. Thank you girls-you made our girly brunch brilliant!

We were there on Saturday 27th September. As a family of 11 we had a great time. The 2 guys are brilliant at there job and a asset to the business. So friendly and accommodating, called in a few times while we stayed for the weekend. Keep up your good work.

We went for the boozy brunch and it was brilliant. Drinks, food and service was really good couldn't be faulted. Definitely be back.

My friend stumbled as she was wearing heels and was refused entry after we went in unaware she was left standing outside.James wanna be manager was on 1, power trip. Not great was 20 mins before realised she was missing. Sore feet no where to sit. She was probably most sober out of all of us . Apologies james prefer teenagers to woman over 30.

Cool vibe with older and younger crowd mixing it up. The only place we could find with a pool table. We drank our dinner so we can't recommend the food. The staff had a bit of attitude but we enjoyed ourselves.

Great place to eat. The triple threat burger is great and definitely worth a try.

Decent little student pub. We didn't eat but all the staff were friendly, drinks are reasonably priced and the dogs were welcomed.

Drinks only this time.Always included this on our pub crawl in St andrews. But £5.20 for a pint of tennents and 7 quid something for a bacardi and bottle of coke.!Have a word with yourselves.Wont be back

Had a really nice pizza and a few drinks , unforchantly our remembrance outing was interrupted by a member of the bar Staff who would not accept the official young Scott card from our 19 year old member the group. We dicedied to go onto soft drinks but when we walked past the bar several members of your group heard the Bar staff saying nasty things about us at the bar to fellow bar staff and when caught was embarrassed. Will not be back , didn’t feel welcomed at all and as someone with severe anxiety I felt extremely uncomfortable. Unforchanit experience

the food is incredible, especially the wings! also, the staff is really friendly!!

My must go to place when i visit St Andrews great cocktails at reasonable prices,always look forward to it,would be 5 stars but on this occasion only one person serving well done to him loved my cocktails.

This was our 4th visit to the rule for dinner. Usually the food is decent, however, paid over £30 for two burgers and chicken for my daughter and it was awful. The portions were tiny and basic and not worth the money. The burgers were rubbery and a handful of hard crispy chips had been thrown on the plates Not sure what’s happened as it used to be nice. We had to clear our own table and move plates and glasses and wipe it down with an antibacterial wipe before our meal was brought out. Won’t be back.

Absolutely positive experience!

Amazing service and staff at the rule

Dog friendly, nice food with plenty of TVs to watch sports on. Would come back again

Food is amazing, staff are lovely and always have a good time in here. Highly recommend, best pub in the town

fast service great vibes lovely drinks and food and staff

Brilliant service Food was out in great timing on a very busy night CLASS

Been for a lovely meal out with the friends and the food was brilliant!, class venue aswell. Best pub in St Andrews

fast service, great food and drinks.

Went to watch the England football, found a good table in the "sports" section. Good TV coverage, every seat could see a TV. My husband had the Triple Threat burger...it came out burnt and severely overcooked, sitting in a puddle of melted cheese. He ate it because he was hungry, but did not enjoy it. I had grilled chicken, which again, came in a puddle of marinara sauce. It was a barbecue based chicken, so these two flavours did not compliment one another. My chickens top layer was dry and rubbery. After removing that, the rest was OK. Super Cold Guiness and lovely crispy fries were the saving grace. The staff were very friendly. The atmosphere was good. England won! It emptied out pretty quick after that. 3.5 stars only.

Fabulous food in a great venue!!! But of confusion re the menu & the offers but all sorted. Cheers

Lovely services from James. Great cocktails especially margaritas and aperol spritz!

Lovely food with lovely company. Great portion sizes. Value for money

Amazing food, staff and service

Amazing place to watch the euro! Awesome atmosphere with quick service and reasonable prices for students! Recommendation for a big night out!

Really great place to have a drink after work, very friendly staff as well

A very welcoming place in the center of St Andrews. Had lots of fun. Definitely a favorite.

I have been in St. Andrews for a summer school and I got drinks here on discounted rate. Watched football matches on awesome big screens and had best time with friends on a big night out. Highly recommended!

This place has a beautiful atmosphere with great pricing for drinks (especially if you're a student and it doesn't matter where you are from :-) )

Great place to enjoy drinks and watch sport. Multiple TV’s greatly placed so you can enjoy all the action and the staff are brilliant. 10/10 would recommend to come with family and friends.

We organized a group lunch at St Andrews and the team at The Rule were very accommodating with our request and friendly. The atmosphere was good, varied pub food at reasonable prices. A nice pub centrally located in St Andrews. We would consider this place again for any future group gatherings!

My friend was in there and the bouncer wouldn’t even let me wait outside. The bouncers are terrible and they don’t respect women or want them to be safe. Terrible bouncers 13/6 it’s 2024 respect women.

Been coming to the rule my whole life & never had any issues until recently everytime ive been coming I’ve been refused be served from the minute I walked in the pub. Spoken with a number of others who seem to have had the same issue with this member of staff, Tried to resolve this issue with the manager but getting no where. Obviously it’s normal for bar tenders to leap across the table and snatch a glass from your hand.

Brilliant wee place, food is nice a tasty and staff are friendly xx

Boozy brunch was great value and amazing food and drinks. Special shout out to James and anna for great service

One of the best pubs I've been to in the whole of St Andrews, quick service, friendly staff, great atmosphere, would recommend to anyone who's looking for a nice drink or a bite to eat.

Boozy brunches might just be the best thing of 2024 period

Very good service. James was great. Thank you everyone at the rule 👌

Lovely place to come for drinks with friends and family, favourite place in St Andrews.

great bar in st. Andrews. All the staff are awesome. Big up Corey for talking me through Mixr 🙏

I’m here every week for Wing Wednesday and it’s always great vibes. Not only that, but they have a wonderful beer garden for sunny days and a great selection of drinks.

Nice food really good service from two young ladies . Popped in for something to eat really nice x This place looks pretty good for a night out great atmosphere 👌

I had (and continue to have) a great experience at the Rule this afternoon. They have a great selection of beers and a lovely outdoor beer garden to enjoy the sun and summer weathers! Always a pleasure and will definitely visit again 😊

Great service, popped in one for pint and was made to feel very welcome by the manager. Great wee place with great atmosphere and staff. Awesome beer garden too!

All right if you like your pub rough and ready, tables are never cleared, and if they are they're never cleaned. Sorry not for me. If you want a nice beer garden, go to the Saint.

We stumbled by accident this place . So glad we did . Staff were very pleasant. Had a glance at the menu everything sounded great . I opted for the fish and chips , my husband had the meat feast pizza with slow cooked burnt end . Food arrived soon after and oh my the fish was just fantastic slight crisp and juicy fish also the chips were delightful. The pizza looked amazing just like a proper Italian pizza . My husband said it was one of the best he has had . Two cleaned plates

Food is class, staff are great (James in particular) and the student deals are worthwhile

Came in a month ago and wanted to say how great this place was. Fantastic food and fantastic service. Standout person for us was Omar the manger. We will be back!

Was quite impressed when we came in for lunch and Omar was able to find out what our daughter who has two allergens could eat. Food portions were good and service was fast! Enjoyable for all the family

Arrived with Family. Staff were great. Food was great. Drinks were great. Could not fault. Highly recommended Trigger

Friends and I visited on Saturday night. The food was good, the staff were attentive and the overall atmosphere provided us with an enjoyable experience.

Thanks to Louise for putting on an amazing boozy brunch you’re a star with amazing service and catered to all our needs will definitely be back! ❤️

We all had such an amazing time at the ABBA boozy brunch today! Louise did such a fantastic job at organising this event. The staff were always making sure our drinks were topped up and very friendly. We will definitely be back for another boozy brunch! Thanks again!

Thank you to Louise for an amazing abba themed brunch this was my first brunch and I highly recommend the rule for a boozy brunch! Amazing cocktails staff are super friendly and food is delicious! Got super cute love heart sunglasses and we’ve had an amazing time a lot of effort put into this highly recommend :)

Atmosphere was fantastic and so was the service - 100% will be back! Especially on old firm day

Great atmosphere and amazing customer service! Will definitely be in more regularly! Thank you for a great afternoon!

Was such a pleasurable experience in this pub watching the Scotland game with my mates! Staff were excellent can’t recommend this place enough for a chill pint to watch sports

Student deals can’t be beat in st andrews

Came here for a drink during a wee pub crawl, what a nice pub! Walked in and got served by James, who was fantastic! Quick service and the MIXR app meant we got a free drink for signing up! James was brilliant with helping us, and helped us with where else to go. Food menu looked good as well, will be back :))

Always enjoy drinks in "Ja Rule" as we call it when we are working in St. Andrews. Always handy for the pre and post Jahangir pints. Have also eaten there plenty of times, basic bar food but it hits the spot when you're not wanting anything fancy.

Got a Scottish breakfast for under £10. Full to the brim - great portion sizes and decent quality food

Great service. Friendly staff👌🏼

Outstanding food, drinks and service. Best place in St Andrews for Boozy Brunch!

Nachos not the best but other items were good.

Quick service, good food and drink and a great place to watch sport. Wouldn’t recommend anywhere else in St Andrews to watch the six nations

Amazing staff, James was really helpful

Service was great, especially James

Had a wonderful time at the rule. The food was great and was an incredibly good deal due to it being Wings Wednesday. Service was wonderful, especially James, who was friendly, funny, and clearly cared about us having the best experience possible. Would definitely come again

Had a lovely time at wings Wednesday, James was particularly lovely and made sure we had a lovely time !

Best place to hangout , foods is awesome and pet friendly pub as well

Didn't like the menu nothing but burgers with cheese, not the place if you are lactose intolerant. Decided to drive the 45mins to Kirkcauldy and tried the witherspoons instead.

Quiet, great ambience. Can not really comment about food as we only took drinks.

Food and service good. We'd love to come back.

Absolute gem of a find, kid and dog friendly, craking food decent prices would highly recommend to anyone

James is the best barman in St Andrews and extremely friendly

Coming from an Irish man from Belfast, the Guinness was top class and well worth a visit

The person in the window scares me and I throw up food because of this. Please remove.

Great place for food and catch up with friends and family

Very poor quality of food. Description does not match what your expecting. Excuse was the pulled BBQ beef comes in portion control for the loaded beef brisket fries for 2 persons. The amount of beef was the same amount if you were to cut a garden pea into 4 pices. Chips were the same amount as a chippy medium size chips. The sharer platter with chicken and halumi verdict = undercooked onion rings and burnt brisket ends Luke warm Veggie salads out of stock Buritto bowl ? Out of stock

Great vibes and food options - wings Wednesday is an absolute must. Served by Emily and she poured a perfect guinness too! Highly recommend!

We had a great lunch. It's dog friendlyand it was quiet on Monday lunchtime. We had pizza, salad and loaded fries. Salad and loaded fries were wonderful and pizza was alright. Dog had a sausage. Prices are reasonable. We enjoyed it.

My partner and i popped in for a drink ,my partner ordered a lager and i ordered a coffee , we were told we had too have a table number so we pointed to a table , our drinks were paid and we sat down , the lady who took the order was not really friendly and she passed our table at least 5 times but no coffee appeared .after my partner had finished her lager we went to the bar to ask for a refund , the pub was not busy at all, no real explanation why coffee was not served , we believed who gave us the refund was the manager who apologised but did not ask the lady who served us why the coffee was not served

Lana is the best!!!!! I don’t prefer the noise levels in the club, and the floors are sticky, but service is amazing. Lana served me soda water and was very prompt and kind.

The bar is very very loud, but Lana was a fantastic server!

I had such an amazing time at The Rule! Our server Emily was fantastic and took amazing care of us all night!! Best service I've had in St Andrews in a long time. The food was great too.

Lovely evening, great drinks at great prices! We were served by the lovely Emily who was really sweet and helpful! Thanks for a great night!!

Incredible place! Huge shout out to Emily our fantastic bartender who went above and beyond- great recommendations and even better drinks. A gem in St Andrews

Enjoyed the (secret) beer garden on a rare warm day in St Andrews, good drink selection and great service from David

Big up David for the chat while ordering drinks

Went for cocktails at the rule and had a delectable cosmo served with phenomenal service by Emily working the bar. Cocktails and service 10/10

Unreal time in the rule on Tuesday, Yvonne was class and will defo be back 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Wings Wednesdays for me and my fellow BREXIT geezers/regreters. Love the awesome bartender with long hair like Musafa from Lion King, David is a real g.

Best service ever from a guy called David, very friendly and caring.

Great Tuesday night in the pub! James looked after us and made us feel right at home! Good punters, very chatty👌

Charlie was our server and he was exceptional

Can’t rave about this place enough! Emily was a delight and made me and the girls feel 20 again! Lovely cocktails and a few shots I regretted in the morning! Will definitely be back but maybe less tequila shots next time !

Similar to a Weatherspoons with some decent deals, good prices considering the location.

Disappointing experience last night, busy bar with inexperienced staff, made a comment about being unable to get served to another member of staff and received a cheeky & unhelpful response, not interested in resolving the situation. Walked out, won’t return.

Very disappointed, went for lunch, one guy Peter was very good, got the toasted sub, which wasn’t toasted and the filling wasn’t the best either, when we mentioned this the person who came out( walked up to us like he was going into battle), attitude was terrible, we did get a refund but no apology Won’t be back
