Gone downhill. I have edited my previous 5* review due to my most recent experience. Firstly I attended The Rule on 20/08/2022 to watch the boxing. The first problem arose when we arrived - the table we had "booked" didn't exist - we were "booked in" but no table assigned - what good is that to man nor beast? Secondly it took me over 15 minutes (whilst standing actually at the bar!) to be served - 1 guy got served left, drank, came back to the bar and was served again before me! - there were more than enough bar staff on at the time but for some reason I was invisible. If it wasn't for another punter telling the bar staff I was next, who knows, I might still be waiting. Thirdly - Go to the mens toilet. I went to wash my hands to find out there was no option of soap to use unless I wanted to be coerced into having to pay ( My friend ended up paying £4 for soap!!) for something that is supposed to be there! At some point the owners of the bar decided to have essentially employ/allow someone to take advantage of people in a toilet. I am disappointed in how the bar has become - it...

After over half an hour of waiting for the food, I decided to check with the waiter how long it was going to take to get a food. He said it was around 45 minutes time for all the orders. Since it meant we should get our food in a quarter, we stayed and waited. 20 minutes after we decided to check again and guess what, we were told it was going to be another half an hour. Apparently at that point there were some people who were waiting over 1h 20 min! We ended up getting refund for the food and leaving. Clearly they are short staff at kitchen which is so strange given there were a lot of waiters. The place did not even look busy, there were a lot of empty tables. If they had some issues with the kitchen, they should have warned the customers while placing orders and there was no information given. The waiters kept walking the place empty handed. The place was also a mess with dirty napkins and food remainings lying on the floor. We use the chain quote ofen but that one is by far the worst we have ever been to. I wish I could...

From the outside this place looks like it could be very small, but it does open up once inside. There are plenty of tables and chairs with some booths too. You get yourselves a seat then go up to the bar to place your order ( remember your table number), then pay, it's card or cash here. I noticed when paying for our order by card, the machine gives the option of adding a tip seems strange to tip before you get food and drinks. We ordered lattes haddock and chips and a beef pie. All the food that was served tasted really nice although it could of been warmer as with the lattes which were lukewarm. The servers were polite, prompt and well presented. The toilets were clean and tidy. Dogs are welcome here.

A group of us were on a golfing trip from Cheshire to St. Andrews and we came across this fantastic sports bar, excellent service, food very very good and an excellent range of beers and ciders, we only wish we'd have found The Rule earlier in our trip, you really need to give Wing Wednesday a go, absolutely fantastic, we will definitely return on our trip next year. Thanks again to the staff for a very warm welcome.

Dog friendly. Awesome ‘Secret garden’ out the back with covered booths for a good Coronavirus safe drinking session. Food is fairly basic but tastes great and is super value. Great bar, lively atmosphere, full of students even in the middle of January. Get in early if you want a table! Great selection of beers and wines, disappointing cider selection though. Reasonably priced, will be back for sure.
