***AVOID***
This place gets a star because its in a great location. Were it not for that, and were it possible, I would give it a ZERO rating.
The rest about it is just awful.
I have been several times. Every time the staff don't even know what they have in the bar. TWICE I have ordered a type of beer only for the guy to come back and tell me, "no sorry we don't have it".
The seating is ugly and uncomfortable, squeezed in to maximise the number of humans they can rip off at any one time. The staff at the best of times are clueless, at the worst, rude.
We ordered the craft beer that they have, and after being told that they didn't have most of the ones on the menu, we finally got a "rubia". The beer was extremely over-carbonated, to the point of being undrinkable. Indeed, we could not finish the beer for fear of burping it all back up. I quickly informed our waiter who told me "yeah thats what the beer is like, I had one that was the same."
I'm sorry but that is not an excuse.
You're telling me because you drank an awful, over-carbonated beer, that I'm supposed to drink it too? ***News flash***, your stock is most likely screwed up; you should stop selling the bottles and take it up with your supplier.
We were forced to pay FORTY SEVEN damnable Pesos for a 330ml bottle of undrinkable fluid. When informing the staff that it was undrinkable, I was met with disdain bordering on rudeness; no offer of taking them back was made.
Poor poor poor. Avoid avoid avoid. Go to Guenats, Clarkes or Capitan, great beer selections in those bars!
Or whatever, go to the bar next door if you really want to sit and perv on the students walking by on Rondeau, its probably no better but whatever, at least its not St Andrews the fake "Scottish Pub" which has absolutely BUGGER ALL to do with pubs in Scotland. At least in a pub in Scotland if you tried to return a beer, they'd smash a pint glass on your head. Here you're just treated with surliness.
St Andrews, get your awful bar, beer selection, supplies, and staff fixed.
P.S. to add insult to injury, we weren't even offered a customary bowl of peanuts. read more
