Every round of golf deserves a good ending.
And in St Andrews, that ending usually involves whisky.

It’s not just about the drink itself — it’s about slowing down.
Letting the day settle. Remembering the shots, the laughter, the weather, the walk.
Here, whisky and golf belong to the same rhythm.

After your round on the Old Course, start at The Keys Bar on Market Street. It’s small, simple, and full of life. Locals, caddies, and travelers mix easily here — the kind of place where everyone feels welcome. The shelves behind the bar are lined with hundreds of bottles, from rare single malts to local favorites. There’s no show, no ego — just good whisky and genuine people.

A few steps away sits The Dunvegan, one of the most famous golf pubs in the world. Its walls are covered with photos of legends who’ve passed through — Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy. If you played the Old Course that day, this is where you’ll celebrate. It’s loud, proud, and full of stories that somehow get better with every retelling.

For something quieter, there’s The Jigger Inn, just beside the 17th fairway. It’s small, warm, and full of charm. You’ll hear laughter from golfers who just survived the Road Hole, or quiet conversations by the fire. Order a dram, watch the sunset, and you’ll understand why people fall in love with this town.

If you prefer elegance with a view, visit The Road Hole Bar on the top floor of the Old Course Hotel. With almost 300 whiskies and a panoramic view over the course and the sea, it’s a place to pause and reflect — to toast the day, the game, and the privilege of being here.

And just a few miles away, near Kingsbarns Golf Links, you’ll find Kingsbarns Distillery. It’s a modern distillery with deep roots — offering tastings, tours, and local whisky made steps from the course itself. It’s not just a stop for whisky lovers; it’s part of the story of modern Scottish craftsmanship.

Wherever you go, you’ll find the same thing: warmth, simplicity, and connection.
Because in St Andrews, whisky isn’t just a drink — it’s a conversation. A tradition that keeps golfers, locals, and stories flowing long after the last putt drops.

So next time you play here, don’t rush to leave the course behind.
Find a bar, take your time, and raise your glass.
To the game. To the place. To the stories that only happen in St Andrews.
