About Bow Butts Bar
Bow Butts Bar in St. Andrews is a thin-data listing with two confirmed planning details: the expected price is $60 per person, the dress code is smart casual. That makes it easiest to approach as a planned, polished stop rather than a fully documented venue profile with confirmed menus, opening hours, awards, or service details.
The safest read is simple: Bow Butts Bar is a St. Andrews venue where guests should budget around $60 per person and dress smart casual.
A smart-casual St. Andrews stop with limited confirmed detail

Bar context
How it compares in St. Andrews
Bow Butts Bar is the easy-choice option: useful when the group needs a simple meeting point and a hotel-bar setting matters more than a heavily signposted drinks program. Jigger Bar is the better cross-shop if the night is specifically about cocktails, while Road Hole Bar makes more sense when the Old Course connection is part of the occasion.
Old Course Hotel is the safer special-occasion comparison if the group wants a fuller luxury-hotel experience, not just a convenient drink. The Kinneuchar Inn is a better fit when food is the anchor of the outing, while Bass Rock Bar suits readers willing to look beyond central St. Andrews for a different atmosphere.
