Our family recently came across The Scottish Arms during a trip to WashU.The food appetizers, mains, and deserts were excellent. The atmosphere was friendly and the staff was very attentive.

I recommend the fish and chips! The pesto appetizer was also very good as well as the wine selection.

Proper Scottish pub with delicious, sometimes elevated pub grub. Plenty scotch to choose from. Live small ensemble music often playing jigs. Makes you feel transported to the UK!
The Shepherd’s Pie is the best food I’ve had in a long time, the wine is delicious, the service is awesome, and the ambience is lovely; 100% recommend! Love my date too ?

We had a wonderful dinner experience at the Scottish Arms. I was glad we made a reservation for a table. Our server was very kind and helped us make our decisions about what to order. She was very attentive and thoughtful. The food was great- and so were the drinks!

The Scottish Arms has the authentic pub feel. It's dark, moody and rugged, great choice on a cold day. The sampler platter was a favorite and fish and chips were delicious. Our server was not super knowledgeable when asked which scotch was best to begin with for a newbie. However they were very friendly. Been back many times and it's constantly good.

Stopped into Scottish Arms bc my husband has been on the search for Scottish Eggs. We went on a Sunday evening. Sundays are a limited menu that offers a happy hour menu only. Don't worry, you will still find flatbread, French onion soups & shepherds pie for more filling things! The bartender was also the waitress that night & she was super nice & attentive. Inside was a bit dark but wasn't impossible to read the menu. Clean area! I'd like to go back to try their full menu.
Loved it. I was alone in town looking for a bar with great cocktails that also had good food. This place had more than I was looking for. Amazing drinks from cocktails to whiskey to their selection of beer. Delicious food, I'm a sucker for scotch eggs, didn't know what to expect from the lamb shank but it was one of the best I've had. And I wished I had space for more desert because that orange cake was delicious ? Its the most underrated description of a desert on a menu I've seen. I almost didnt get it. So bloody glad the bartender convinced me to try it. All of this in a friendly warm atmosphere where the staff were friendly as well as other guests and I didn't feel weird eating alone (female) and I wasn't ignored by staff. Loved my experience here. Prices were fair. Will definitely be back.

Ordered a Caesar salad with chicken. First time chicken was saltier than eating straight soy sauce. Sent the plate back. Second time it was raw, pink as a bubble gum.Bad

Love this restaurant! The Scotch eggs are AMAZING! Highly recommend. The Highland Fling is my favorite dish. Decent drink selection.

We are never disappointed with the Scottish Arms. Their menu is very inventive, with some Scottish staples as well, but everything is balance and delicious. The high backed booths and quiet atmosphere give it an intimate vibe, and make it a perfect setting for either date night or catching up with old friends.

Our family went to the Scottish Arms last night; 5 adults, a 4 year old and a 2 year old. The service was good, everyone enjoyed their meals thoroughly (I had the fish & chips -- after sharing a little with the 2 year old, he hollered "mo' feesh!"). The fried haddock was AMAZING, tender, flaky mild fish with the perfect amount of batter -- crunchy, not greasy at all. Our server was low key and very pleasant. We all went home full & happy!
