## In St Andrews
There are very few 'actual' pubs in St Andrews. What constitutes a
proper pub is of intense debate.^[See Orwell, G., 1946, "The Moon
Under Water", [Available online.](https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/essays-and-other-works/the-moon-under-water/)]
I deem there to be, only the following 'proper' pubs in St Andrews:
* The New Inn,
* The Keys Bar,
* The Whey Pat, and
* Greyfriars.
Aikmans, Molly Mallone's, The Central, The Criterion, The Dunvegan and
Sandy's Bar (at the Union) are all _almost_ pubs. In a pinch, they
will do just as well. The Rule, Main Bar at the Union, The Vic, halls
of residence, and people's flats are _not_ pubs.
## Beyond St Andrews
Outside of St Andrews, there are a few good pubs to head to on a boring night (or day):
* Ye Olde Hotel in Leuchars,
* the Ship Inn in Elie, or
* The Imperial in Cupar
are all excellent.
In Dundee, there is far more choice, including the eponymous
Weatherspons (The Counting House).
