The Rule, St Andrews

Right in the heart of St Andrews, The Rule is your all-day, all-night destination for food, drinks, and unforgettable vibes.

By day, we’re a family-friendly pub serving up a menu that caters to every craving – from hearty mains to light bites and shareable platters. Whether you’re catching up over a bottle of wine, sipping on a craft cocktail, or fuelling up for the day ahead, we’ve got you covered.

As the sun sets, The Rule transforms. The music cranks up, the lights go down, and the energy comes alive. With the best DJs in town, a seriously stacked drinks menu, and a buzzing crowd, we’re the go-to spot for nights out in St Andrews.

Catch the game on our HD screens, enjoy live music, or head out to our spacious beer garden – perfect for soaking up the sun (when we get it!) with a bev in hand. We’re also proudly dog-friendly, so your four-legged pals are welcome too.

Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year at our venue and create memories to treasure. From office parties to family gatherings or festive nights with friends, we provide the perfect setting for your celebrations. Enjoy our Christmas set menus with seasonal favourites and all the trimmings, paired with tailored drinks packages to make the night extra special. And when New Year’s Eve arrives, raise a glass, enjoy delicious food and drinks, and welcome the new year with laughter, joy, and festive cheer.

From laid-back afternoons to lively nights – The Rule is where it all happens. Come for the food, stay for the party.
