I didn't realise that Aikmans was a Bistro......but that just shows you that this review will be…read moreprimarily based on my drinking experiences at Aikmans. Honestly I really like Aikmans though for me its not one of those bars that you start the night off at but one of the bars you finish the night up at since it is open late everyday of the week. Basically, my last couple of nights out have ended at Aikmans. I also really like this place because they have a pretty broad selection of beers and ales as well as harder sprits for the more veteran drinkers out there. Its a pretty solid pub and pretty typical, I like that it is unpretentious and that the bar men are nice even to the student crowd such as myself. Now that I realise it is a bistro I am going to have to try the food one of these days!

Popped in here for a couple pints twice during my trip through St. Andrews. While I didn't have…read morethe food, the people I saw eating looked happy. The atmosphere was awesome (and divey) for students and I felt moderately comfortable as a 30 year old. They had a guy who was singing absolutely kick ass covers upstairs the first night and I was in love with the place. It gets crowded, so if you don't have a seat be prepared to get close to some undergrads...which could be a good or bad thing. Overall this is definitely worth a pop into whether you are a tourist or a student. If you are a student, you probably know all of this is and just wasted 30 seconds of your life.

Service was very good, they kept our glasses of water topped up and there was plenty of extra parm for those who wanted it on their pasta. And surprise, they brought a beautiful complimentary dessert for the table because they overheard it was my birthday. A lovely and memorable meal.

I mean put that way.....should it have ever been so hard, well before Fred opened this little gem it really was. Whether you are looking for a pre-meal drink before heading upstairs to the restaurant or you are looking to spend some time enjoying a bottle of something delicious this place is a great option. With its own mean and specials you can turn a glass of wine into a full meal if you wish. The saucisson is insane...oysters from Loch Fyne, baked vacherin...truffle brie. I could go on. Loic once the sommelier at the well known Mark Greenaway leads the team with his usual friendly and welcoming manner. If you were a regular there or as the now closed Bistro Moderne a few more of the staff may be familiar too. Its a great experience with great products.
