Vic St Andrews in Fife

Alex and Abi run the best Bingo

Called them to ask about their promo code (which doesn't work), they said don't worry I'll ask and call you back. They never called me back.

Place has a smell was empty at 3pm on a Saturday. Didn't eat had 1 drink and left

Not for me. Too loud to do nought but drink and jump to the usual songs. Usually find myself retreating to the smoker's area just to get out haha... why my friends insist on going there I'll never know. Union is cheaper and better atmosphere, although I have been a fan of the local musicians who sometimes play there.

We ate well, although sitting on one of the sofas pieces of the wall above me fell off, like stones.

Good range of drinks, friendly staff, and great atmosphere and live music!

It was brilliant I got a complimentary ice cream and the food was exquisite.the man behind the bar was a terrific host and easy to interact with he checked on us whenever he could and knew all of his drinks Overall I would come here again and was a perfect place to come to to end my holiday on a great note I'm only 12 and I think I will remember this the next time I come to Scotland

Fresh fish for the fish and chips! Stellar service

Great 👍 wee night club wish it was bigger tho

Alex was so friendly and accommodating, the service from him was very efficient. 5 stars for sure !!

Alex is the absolute man I swear to the lord

alex is the best bartender so welcoming what a lovely gent!!

alex is an absolute star, very friendly, brought our drinks to the table i love him

Had a lovely lunch of fish and chips. Our server Eilidh was very attentive and made sure we had a nice experience

Nice place went with a friend for a couple for drinks the staff were amazing and super friendly and the fries were okay but more like wedges then fries, couldn’t recommend a better place for a few drinks and can’t say how great the staff were

We booked an area in the Vic for a casual drinks gathering the night before our wedding. We had 80 or so guests in the bar and pre-paid a selection of prosecco and beer, as well as having a cash bar. Jack and the team were so flexible and helpful at arranging this for us and the service and atmosphere on the night was perfect. They helped us to set up a sign we had brought, and were ready to pour glasses of fizz and beer for guests on arrival - it was great! Big thank you to the Vic team :)

Dropped in with three famished and bored kids. Really good food with brilliant kids portions. The service was fantastic, friendly and helpful. The board games and kid appropriate (free) arcade games kept the kids happy and brought a rainy day in StAndrews back up to the 5 star setting. (Great tunes in the background by the way)

Service was great, young crowd, plenty of good music.

Visited The Vic for the first time last week and could not be disappointed! We were a table of five and tried our luck as everywhere else was busy and could not accommodated us, although they themselves were busy got us in and made us feel welcomed from the get go. Our server was knowledgable about the menu and service was smooth and pleasant. I personally had a burger and was very happy with my decision. we all loved it and would definitely recommend the visit for food if in town.

Love this place. Has this great aesthetic. Staff are lovely too

Chucked me out because the barstaff (female blonde hair and managerial role, name is Susanne) had mistaken my friend for someone who had climbed over the wall in the smoking garden. But this was clearly not him then preceeded to kick another one of my mates out for complaining about our case. I think this was because I was apparently being "cheeky" but just proving her wrong for her mis-identifying my friend. To be fair some of the security were fair and dead on but still used excessive force on my friend for no reason. Bottom line bar staff needs to be rational in public areas and not make complete rash decisons as this will put off more people inthe future from going.

Great atmosphere, staff are friendly and attentive!

I was in a couple of days ago, they have amazing cocktails and the new food menu is delicious. The service was great too and I really loved the ambient. Good job.

If adults come in to your establishment for food, you need to politely turn them away.

Was there to see The Other Guys on Saturday Night. Great atmosphere, Lovely Cocktails and all of the staff and security made me feel very welcome.

15-20 of us payed for tickets last night for LatinFlow spent £11.20 each a ticket, had 2 drinkw each before coming to que up, and every single one of us were turned away by who I can only describe as a jumped up angry rude individual who has no respect for anyone. Absolutely disgraceful and it will be reported to the relevant people about how the vic think they can get away with taking money from people and not providing the services.

Popped in for a couple drinks, welcoming and good service. Will definitely be back in again when I’m back in St Andrews

Nice place to spend time with friends! The food and cocktails were very good and tasty, the service was great and attentive! We will come back!

Foods pretty bad. Wrong items listen that you don’t receive. Stick to the drinks in here

A curious place where, depending on the time of day, you can eat, drink, have tea or even dance. All this on the upper floor called "Social Club". We were a group of 36 and the agency had hired a fixed menu. The starter was toast with mushrooms on top, with a just passable result. The main course was filling: two thick sausages with plenty of potato pudding. There was no dessert, but we were able to have coffee and tea at our discretion on a self-service basis. Recommended if you want to have a quick meal at a good price in the middle of a tour of Scotland.

Fantastic venue 👌 great singer 👍 and an absolute amazing night.. thanks guys!!!! Xx

I went to the Vic a few days ago and honestly had a terrible experience. The service was very poor and unorganized. The overall atmosphere was also incredibly dirty and unwelcoming. I personally would not recommend going to the Vic unless there was a clear adjustment in the management, and I know that I am not the only one who feels this way.

A place to enjoy better in the afternoon/evening Very friendly service

It’s great to be back to the Vic after having graduated from St Andrews a few years ago. We had a great night out this weekend, I think it tends to be kinda chill on the weekdays. The staff were amazing and had great energy as always. Very good cocktails 🍹

classy and relaxed bar for student. tasty food and nice vibe for any occasion-- a chill pint after working away on a Wednesday or a more active weekend night out. always a joy to visit

Good, nice atmosphere and really good service!

Everything is pretty good for Scotland.

Decent late night spot for drinks in the town

Went there on Friday with my parents who were dropping me off at uni. The food was tasty and our waitress was very helpful and patient with my parents who do not speak the best English and had a couple of questions about the menu. Would reccommend.

1- Bartenders need to be trained on keeping a note of the general queue or order of service. Anyone can pour drinks - good service is making sure you’re treating customers fairly. Literally had 6 other customers served before me the other night, even though they all got there after me. It got to the point where other customers were apologising to me because they felt bad for me. I wasn’t being rude or demanding - I see this happening routinely at the Vic to other people too. The customers shouldn’t have to fight for the staff’s attention. 2- Regularly having only two bartenders on for events or weekends when there are 50+ people waiting to order multiple drinks shows that you don’t care about customers or your staff. In fact, you would probably be making a lot more money with more bartenders working because many people turn away without even bothering to wait and buy drinks. Part of the issue is that this is the only nightclub-type venue in town. This means that management doesn’t have to worry about good service because customers often don’t have an alternative. Nice venue but unfortunately not if you want to buy anything.

Student pub in St Andrews, this is a fab little venue, upstairs space with exposed brick walls, good range of beers and drinks, simple pub grub fayre. Go here if you are looking for somewhere less crowded and more chill. Don't go here if you're looking for something high end and pretentious.

We have come as an organized group, half of the people have not eaten the fixed menu that was agreed upon and they have not been given any alternative menu for these people. So some of us have gone without eating. The food is a 0. But if you come to this restaurant on your own the fries are good.

Me and my friend went out for a few drinks as we were catching up, we were sat there anxiously trying to find a way back home as our lift had fallen through, out of frustration my friend put her head on the table, and one of the bar staff saw this as her being drunk, we were then kicked out despite only having 2 drinks, one of which was supposed to be a coke but was just soda water. Not impressed.

Very little to write about as everything was as I would want it to be. I'd suggest putting Koppenberg back on the menu considering the glasses used show Koppenberg. But other than missing one brand of cider, you won't go wrong spending and evening in here for food and/or drinks

Dropped in for a drink on Friday evening. Staff were very helpful and the duet were very good. Would definitely go back. We had already eaten but the food at the next table looked great.

It was really a bad place to and they were expensive, the food was served burnt and they Literally added service charge for half a pint of Guinness which was way disappointing and frustrating. They were not adequate with whisky collection as much. The cheese curd in the fries was barely visible

Nice bar, nice staff. There are lots of wall sockets for phone charging.

Who would have thought a burger pizza is a thing. And it's tasty too. I had the veggie burger and this was so tasty. It's a smaller menu but reasonably priced. Worth a wee visit.

Expensive, £50 for 6 drinks, it does not offer VFM.

Place was almost empty, unbearably loud music, even at lunchtime! No thank you! This would never be a pleasant dining experience, you couldn't hear yourself think!

Staff are sometimes bit rude to English people!!!!"

Food was good. As was the service. Reasonably priced.

Fantastic venue, great service, especially greatful for this gorgeous, dark-haired, handsome, young boy named Joe Seal for his caring attention to detail and made me feel like a loved and valued customer. Not only is his drinks knowledge broad and detailed, but he is also very very fast, which is what i love in a good bartender. I must also add that his hands are incredibly soft; i felt him graze against mine as he precisely inserted his straw into my whiskey. X

Great service, served by Joe seal, gave me good whisky recommendations. 🚶🏃🤸

Great staff and atmosphere. a bit expensive considering it's mainly students who frequent the establishment

There was no space for dancing. St.Andrews needs a proper Club

Had a great night out with a few friends. Thanks especially to Joe the bartender - fantastic service and a great knowledge of drinks. Will be back for sure!!

The venue looks great (not good accessibility however) I like the Mr Doodle work and the bar area has nice surroundings and tables/seating. The menu this time round was reduced from my previous visit and the food we had this time left a lot to be desired (half burnt oven chips, instant gravy and the smallest cheese curds I've ever seen). The bar staff were very friendly and helpful which is always nice.

Very friendly staff, lovely building

Come here on a Friday. Live music, great drinks, great atmosphere. Really wide selection of people, you have students next to older people in full golf gear who are next to some foreign tourists with a huge camera around their neck and everyone is just having a great time. Also came here to eat in the week, great cheap eat deals aswell and the food was surprisingly good!

Great selection of drinks, nice food and pleasant barstaff.

Terrible food, dirty, bathrooms with an unbearable smell, dirty cutlery. A shame, I will never set foot in my life again

Great happy prices and friendly staff. The pizza and scotch old fashioneds were great.

Nice,fun bar,bit crowded and loud

This is a really nice bar which also serves great coffee. Really friendly service and I noticed they also do a student deal where you pay £2.50 for the day and you get unlimited tea and coffee and a place to work/read. Would definitely recommend.

Limited selection of drinks, apart from that good venue for live music

Was there for work completing a job but the staff and the door guys could not have been any nicer. Place is lovely inside would recommend.

Great bar. Prob best in St Andrews

Contemporary bar & night club. Nice contrast to the traditional pubs for a tourist like me.

Decent spot for a few drinks once the pubs shut

The best spot to end the night in St Andrews. Great ambiance, and a perfect balance between trendy bar and club.

Halloween was amazing. The place looked amazing. And the staff, well the only word to describe them… SUPER DUPER.

I miss this place so much..... Every Friday and Wednesday I visited there. Also Food menu is awesome. Miss you

Service was absolutely perfect! We had Paige serving us our drinks and she provided the 5 star service

rainbow shots and drinks menu was amazing , really enjoyed the food! especially the chicken burritos

Spot on from start till finish. Food great and some amazing flavours. Must visit place when in St Andrews

Enormous, bier halle style place. Very strange decor - crowded black and white scribble pictures and fake grass on the walls. Lots of room. Decent selection of gins, but not fantastic. G&T had too much tonic, too much ice and was served in an oversized bubble glass with a straw. I expect some people like it that way, but it's a grown-up drink and I would rather have had it in a simple high ball. Toilet cubicle had no hook, which is always a bit annoying. Barman was friendly and approachable. Prices were reasonable.

lovely bar, we had the place to ourselves as we went off-season. Great bar staff, reasonably priced drinks for the area too!

Great place nice staff and Gluten free beer!

Turned lights on, no call for last orders just told to leave an hour before closing. Shocking.

Gd night apart from door staff!!

Popped in for a couple of drinks on a St. Andrew's pub crawl. Could have used a bit of music to help with the atmosphere.

Food pre made miles away not the best

Amazing atmosphere, Good service, Good drinks. Ideal night out after a hard day at work

worst garlic bread of my life. good drinks and food, but that garlic was shocking. ciabatta with some oil spread on it with what i can only say were the crumbs of a glove of garlic frugally sprinkled on the bread. DO NOT ORDER IT. other than that i actually quite like the vic...

Busy, and a bit dark but good fun

Nice food, poor service. Very long wait when restaurant wasn't busy. Had better visits here--will give it another chance and visit again.

There is no place for dancing, the smoking room is small, I do not recommend it!

Nice enough venue with plenty space, but beer on taps often taste a little off, eggy pints are not ideal!

One of the only late night bars in St Andrew's. Great for a nightcap once everything else has closed. It has a great atmosphere and service. The drinks are a good price and the staff friendly.

Perfect food, service and value for money

Great food reasonably priced. Family friendly pace to get dinner in the centre of St Andrews.

Great but it takes time to place the order and then for it to be delivered.

Very good food and very nice staff

Great historic town with loads of great shops, eating places, beach, golf courses and university.

Great place to grab a drink and dance the night away

Had lunch nice place and nice staff will visit again when in st Andrews

Mega place for a beer or 5. More relaxed student bar with table games to while away the afternoon. Well priced and a good choice.

Nice place, friendly staff, good vibe. Shame the food was a disappointment.

Indifferent service, tasteless risotto, they haven't a clue about how to provide a decent restaurant service, amateurs!!! They need to do much much better 😬
