One of the most unique bars in Ayr, The Smoking Goat is a tucked away spot decked out with comfy booths and cave-like walls. From historical interiors and gin cocktails to the newly upgraded outdoor terrace, this is a pretty special place to spend your evening. A basement bar with a lazy feel, its comfy seating is perfectly suited to its music policy. With a flowing roster of acoustic nights of up and coming bands makes this a great underground venue to check out great underground talent. The Smoking Goat is one slick subterranean hideout.

I was eating alone but still made to feel very welcome by the two waitresses. I was seated in an area that allowed me to chat with the neighbouring tables without encroaching upon their presence.

First time trying the Stravaig & it was amazing. The decor is outstanding. We had drinks in the bar before dinner & had an amazing selection. We then had a two course meal & absolutely loved every bit of it! The staff were incredibly friendly & couldn’t have done more to make it an amazing night! Great value for money & will definitely be back! Will be recommending family & friends to give it a try!
