Character

Broad River Corridor is appealing, as it contains both vibrant and quiet areas. Even though this part of St. Andrews is not known for its lively ambience, with the nightlife venues in nearby neighborhoods, it is sometimes challenging to find a place to grab a drink since they are generally located relatively close by. At the same time, this area is wonderful for those who enjoy quiet surroundings, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor.
