Jigger Inn reopens in St Andrews

Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa has announced the reopening of its pub the Jigger Inn.

Known as the most famous hole in golf, the historic venue has undergone significant renovations and now features a refreshed menu designed by the resort’s newly announced executive chef Coalin Finn. 

The Jigger Inn dates back to the 1850s, when it was the stationmaster’s lodge for the St Andrews Links railway station. Today, the traditional Scottish pub has been thoughtfully renovated to improve its offering.

Updates include an interior décor refresh while maintaining original features including the brickwork, signature railway booth seating and signed Major Winners’ caps, which have returned to their home above the bar.

Other improvements include an expanded kitchen to allow enhanced menu offerings and improved service, in addition to the refreshed beer garden which has been paved. Updated accessible restrooms, a new path connecting to St. Andrews' main walkway and landscaping to the gardens complete the enhancements to this iconic establishment.

Golf's most famous pub

"We’re thrilled to reopen the doors to the Jigger Inn following its recent renovations and to welcome new and returning guests to enjoy golf’s most famous pub," says Louise Dougall, Jigger Inn bar manager. "Offering hearty food and perfectly poured pints, the Jigger Inn proudly remains the same Scottish pub we all know and love, now with a refreshed space and updated menu celebrating local ingredients."

The reopening of the Jigger Inn is part of a larger series of food and beverage enhancements underway at Old Course Hotel. Most recently, the resort unveiled its new rooftop bar and dining outlet the West Deck, which offers seating areas and dining pods.
