The Beer Eighty?

The first day in St Andrews, I am walking from Mark's place to downtown. I needed to get a US to UK adaptor. So I ask a local Scotsman direction. What I heard him say is "Do you know where the 'beer 80" is? Like, maybe that was a name of a pub? I was later to learn he was saying 'the Byre Theater"! Things improved a bit from there, except for the Gaelic of course.
