The VIC is a twin venue of sorts, like the Olsens, except everyone here is a healthy eater and we don't see ourselves being billionaires anytime soon. That's because we are all about cheap as chips food, shin digs befitting of this ancient old town, cocktails, fairytales, and pretty much anything else we can get away with doing in a licensed premises that won't result in our long suffering manager and his associates spending a casual weekend in the jailhouse.
Bringing good humoured, traditional fun with a twist to St. Andrews. Expect a relaxed atmosphere bursting with character, contemporary yet traditional cocktails, craft beer, small batch production gins and gourmet burgers.
With a focus on everyone having a good time, we are set up to take you effortlessly from day into night.
If you are lucky enough to visit on a sunny day, discover our hidden rooftop beer garden, perfect for basking under blue skies whilst you share a cocktail tree with friends.
Looking to hire a space with your own personal bartender? Look no further! Our social club is the perfect place for you and your friends to get together. With your own tunes, handmade cocktails and draught beer what's not to love!
Dogs of course welcome when accompanied by well-behaved owners.

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.
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 🍹
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.
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
