And we say the best way to settle this age-old debate for once and for all is to alternate between the two!. This fuss-free traditional pub is graced with unpretentious charm, sublime nachos and the kind of ambience worthy of a cracking night out. Whey Pat’s regularly hosts fab live folk music sessions — pair these with any of their many great beers and the rest is history.

There are a nice mix of pubs and bars to suit every taste and occasion, from the more hip student haunts like The Rule and The Vic, to the more down to earth Drouthy's or The Whey Pat (which are technically old man pubs, but students love them too and the Whey Pat has the best nachos in town). Many of the pubs are hotel bars, but some are very good and not just full of golfers, for example 1 Golf Place and the One Under are popular with students. For the 'higher class' of student (aka yahs) theres Catch and Ma Bells, which are nice but can be pricey.

The Whey Pat Tavern is situated on Bridge Street, dishing up proper British pub grub and offering "Great ales, good food, and sensational nachos!". They also promise to offer punters a "unique" experience as they pride themselves on offering something that bit different, but unfortunately you need to go and find out why for yourself. They have been highly rated on food, service and value for money.

Situated on Bridge Street in the heart of St. Andrews, The Whey Pat Tavern is a delightful blend of tradition and modern pub culture. This cozy tavern is not just about its rich history; it’s about creating memorable moments over good food and drinks. And speaking of food, they are one of the best pubs in St. Andrews Scotland for nachos, they are a must-try!

While the décor in here became unnervingly nice after the refurbishment, Whey Pat remains a great place to go for a pint with your friends and grab a bite of those famous nachos. It’s warm, the seating is comfortable, and sometimes Scottish Traditional Musicians will spontaneously appear from seemingly nowhere and entertain you for the evening.

Another Belhaven owned pub, the Whey Pay Tavern is traditional with a bit of a modern twist. There’s comfortable booth seating, as well as high stools to pull up a chair at the bar. The building the pub is in dates from 1902 but there’s been an inn or a pub at the location since 1580 according to the company.

Whey Pat – When I was a student at St Andrews the Whey Pat was a generally older local crowd. On a recent trip the vibes seemed to have changed with a ton of young people playing darts, catching up, and enjoying a pint. The Whey Pat has always had good nachos and I hope that never changes!

Whey Pat is a controversial pub: it has serious merit, yet fails in key areas. The events at Whey Pat, from back-room concerts with the Hoochie Coochie Band to rowdy sports games, provide a great atmosphere. The clientele, in contrast, can make a night out at this pub less appealing.

A great pub with a great atmosphere, the Whey Pat Tavern is a brilliant pub to watch all the football you could want. The good value drinks make the Whey Pat Tavern the perfect place to unwind.

Contrary to stereotype, not all pubs in Scotland have dart boards. Whey Pat does, and the bar has two teams in the St Andrews darts league. Game night is packed and boisterous.
