“ One of the best pubs in town... great people and lovely selections of beers when Barbara or Malcolm serve you... good friendly people and cozy atmosphere.. GERMAN BEER OR PINT OF GUINNESS RECOMMENDED THOUGH.... DR. HAIDER ”
“ The best pub in the world, and I've been to a fair few. ”
“ I studied at St Andrews for four years and have arrived at a conclusion: that the British Ministry of Culture should subsidize the establishment of an Aikmans-like pub in every UK county. This place is unimpeachable: there simply are no valid criticisms or objections one can level against this institution. With all the authority invested in me as a St Andrews resident and regular at Aikmnans, I declare all current and future negative reviews of this establishment to be virtually non-existent; they count for nothing. ”
“ Lovely place with a good selection of beers and food with good, honest pricing. Pearl makes a good shepherd’s pie; I’m on my 3rd serving in 24 hours ”
“ I previously had a negative experience with this pub. But, upon approaching the staff (thank you Joshua) about it, they were utterly respectful in discussion and professional in their responses. They explained the difficult circumstances, and they provided nothing less than exceptional service as a result. Really, when it comes to St Andrews, the only pub to feel at home in. ”
“ Booked out the cellar for mine and a friends birthday. Was a perfect evening and we were well looked after. Thank you :) ”
“ I enjoyed the place. Nice place which has games. We stayed around to play some chess and have a drink. Apparently the woman server was a bit lazy/ wouldn't get up or assist with orders. I didn't have that problem but my friends were complaining. Apparently she was also reading a book and even when customers came in, she continued to read her book ”
“ Amazing Employee's, Respectful and Casual Bar in St. Andrews, what is certainly needed in St. Andrews. ”
