Road Hole Restaurant

The Road Hole Restaurant is an intimate dining experience, using the very best of local Scottish and organic produce, seafood, fish, and steaks. The meal is complemented by an extensive wine list. The 3 AA Rosettes restaurant offers beautiful panoramic views over the Old Course, St. Andrews, and the sea.

Road Hole Bar

Whisky aficionados around the globe flock to the Road Hole Bar to sample more than 300 whiskies, representing every operational and many mothballed distilleries in Scotland. Some notable whiskies include a Tullibardine (the hotel's own label malt); Highland Malt 1988, which is only sold in the top 10 percent of bars in the UK; and a rare Ben Wyvis Highland Malt 1972. The bar also has an excellent range of cocktails, champagnes, and wines. The daytime menu ensures the Road Hole Bar is the most coveted viewing gallery in the world of golf.

Swilcan Loft

The Swilcan Loft restaurant and bar features floor-to-ceiling windows and uninterrupted views of the Old Course golf course, West Sands Beach and the iconic Hamilton Grand building. It is located on the fourth floor of the Old Course Hotel and serves an eclectic international menu created with locally sourced Scottish produce. Swilcan Loft is the perfect place for those looking for an indulgent lunch or dinner with good selection of wines and innovative cocktails.

Afternoon Tea

Experience an award-winning afternoon tea with a delicious selection of delicate pastries and cakes, created by the hotel’s Pastry Chef. Afternoon tea is served in the stunning Conservatory, right along the 17th Hole of the Old Course, and includes such delectable delights as homemade scones, lemon pancakes with clotted cream, and strawberry and pink Champagne preserve.

Jigger Inn

This historic building dates back to the 1850s, when it was the stationmaster’s lodge, and the history and heritage live on. Today, the Jigger Inn is home to golfing memorabilia, crackling open-hearth fires, home-cooked food, and a superb selection of Scottish beers. The Belhaven Brewery was charged by Herbert V. Kohler, owner of the Old Course Hotel and the Jigger Inn, with the task of creating a brew in the style of a classic Scottish Ale that would be as unique as the Jigger Inn itself. The pub’s own Jigger Ale is available only at the Jigger Inn, St. Andrews, and at the Horse & Plow at Forbes Five Star-awarded the American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin, USA.

Hams Hame Pub & Grill

Opened in 2013, Hams Hame is a fabulous venue offering outstanding Scottish cuisine that showcases the best ingredients, seafood landed on the harbors of the East Neuk's fishing villages, carefully selected pork, beef and poultry reared by award-winning producers across Scotland, as well as seasonal fruits and vegetables chosen for their flavor from farms, some of which overlook St. Andrews.
