Rogue
Rogue is a restaurant and cocktail bar at the west end of South Street, beside the West Port. The kitchen focuses on seasonal, sustainable Scottish seafood and dry-aged beef, and the bar distils its own Felons Gin on a still at the back, which makes it a good pick for a special dinner.

The food
The menu changes with the seasons but is built around two things: fish and shellfish from Scottish waters, and dry-aged beef, displayed in a chilled cabinet facing the street. Oysters, scallops, mussels and lobster appear alongside big sharing steaks such as porterhouse, and past menus have included vegetarian and vegan dishes too.
Bar and gin
The room has a classic cocktail-bar feel, with martinis and champagne on the drinks list and a wine list to match the food. Rogue makes Felons Gin on its own still, so a gin-based drink is the obvious way to start the evening. The still sits at the back of the restaurant and the gin is made in a contemporary style, so ask the bar which serve shows it off best.
When to go
Rogue suits a proper evening out rather than a quick bite, so book ahead through the website, especially at weekends and during golf events. Arrive a little early to look at the West Port, the town gate built in 1587, which stands a few steps away, and finish with a drink at the St Andrews Brewing Co. bar further along South Street.
