Nestled within our beautifully walled garden sheltered from the sea breeze.
Just steps from the centre of historic St Andrews, it’s the perfect sun trap to enjoy a refreshing drink and a moment of peace.
If you’re spending time in the beautiful seaside town of St Andrews, you probably already have a list of places to visit—historic sights, golf courses, and cozy cafés. But if you’re looking for the perfect spot to unwind with a drink in the sunshine, let us introduce you to a little hidden gem: the beer garden at The Albany Hotel.
Tucked away behind the hotel, this charming walled garden is a peaceful oasis just steps from the buzz of St Andrews’ town centre. Surrounded by old stone walls and lush greenery, it’s the kind of place that feels like a secret getaway—even on the busiest summer days.
And here's the best part: it's a sun trap. Whether you're starting your day with a coffee or winding down with a cold beer in the evening, the beer garden is bathed in natural light for most of the day. It’s the ideal spot to soak up the sun without leaving town.
The garden is open to guests and visitors from 11 am to 11 pm, with a wide selection of Scottish beers, fine wines, spirits, and soft drinks available from the bar. If you’re feeling peckish, there are light snacks to nibble on while you relax.
It’s casual, it’s comfortable, and it’s exactly what you need after a morning exploring the town—or a round of golf on one of St Andrews’ legendary courses.
Whether you’re a guest at The Albany Hotel or just passing through St Andrews, the beer garden is well worth a visit. Stop by for a drink, a chat, and a bit of sunshine.
