He has created an atmosphere that attracts all three main components of the town - visiting golfers, locals and students. As with most of the main bars and restaurants in St Andrews it's standing room only during the major tournaments, but throughout the season Drouthy Neebors is one of the few bars that maintains a steady crowd. It's rare that you would walk in and not find yourself having a chat to the neighbouring table about how their golf went on that particular day.
Head chef Martin Reid has grabbed the town's attention with a reasonably priced menu boasting a selection of local dishes and themed specials, all created with locally sourced produce. Very popular among the golfing fraternity is his steakhouse offering. Here you can decide on the cut and weight of your steak, which is then chargrilled to your particular preference. Martin has previously worked as head chef at one of the prestigious golf clubs in St Andrews, and knows exactly what is needed by players, pre and post round.
Located under the ancient landmark of the Westport on South Street, Drouthy Neebors is only a few minutes walk from the course. After you sample one night here, I am sure it will soon become your local for the rest of your trip to The Auld Grey Toon.

I haven't been in this area of St Andrews for over 40 years, although I used to walk along it to Madras College. So this view is quite surprising - I found the bright colours of Droothy Neebors a little out of place in this part of town. What do others think?
Hi Hugo - Drouthy Neebors is designed in an L-shape with the main door being located on South St (just visible through the West Port). I think the building you are referring to with the bright green frontage was a carpet shop at the time of this photo. In it's place is now a digital IT centre with white/black branding. I agree with your comment though, the mixture of old and new is ok in the heart of the town centre, but perhaps tighter controls should be in place for shop frontage outside of market st / south st.
