Smiths Bar Ayr in South Ayrshire

Lovely food, good service, friendly atmosphere.

Been twice recently. Once to have a meal and watch the rugby, and then for a Michael Buble tribute night. Great value for money, lovely food, fabulous service... all of the staff are attentive and friendly. Go with the right attitude, and the right people, and you won't be disappointed!

Waitress was lovely and very helpful to my 87 years old mother-in-law. Food was delicious and good prices.

Highly recommend this place,Whenever we are in ayr,we always go to smiths,the food is lovely,the staff are great,tge service is very fast,yesterday my gran was choking on food the staff members were great in helping my gran,we will be back soon.

Really nice place. The service was friendly and efficient. The menu varied and reasonably priced and the food very good.

Lynne.

Ordered 4 meals. One was good(chicken fajitas) 2 steak pies were cold and baked potato was rotten inside . When asked if everything was ok and said no, not really.the waitress couldnt care less. Should have went to local chippy.

Popped in for a drink, great pub, friendly staff, good atmosphere. Looking forward to going back in the summer when we can enjoy sitting in the beer garden

Was staying at a nearby hotel and popped in for lunch. It was very busy but a huge 'thankyou' to your staff member Jackie who managed to fit 4 of us in. She was so friendly and helpful. Ps the food was delicious too.

Fresh food staff amazing with the dog happy days

We had a lovely meal with friends and the food was good. The staff were lovely and friendly and helpful.

The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. Nicole especially ensured that we had a wonderful experience.

Was in as a large group of 21. We pre ordered. Service and food both 1st vlass. Highly recommend.

Always our number 1 choice for dinner when we come to Ayr for an overnight. Amazing food, friendly staff with a great atmosphere. The outdoor area is stunningly lit up and looks amazing.

Nice menu, friendly staff and good portions.

Nice place to go for lunch , service excellent, polite and friendly staff. Food is pub grub but there's a good choice on the menu and it is hot. Great place to go for a catch up with friends

Great meeting place for family catch up, staff are friendly and welcoming, food is delicious and great portions. Definitely recommend the biscoffi sundae

Really nice place and the staff are very friendly and welcoming

Enjoyed my meal. Served by friendly and helpful staff . Being Scottish and living in England, I often forget how couteous my fellow Scots are. 😁👍

I am unable to comment on anything other than the appalling bar service we walked into the bar on Friday 13 October at about 19:30 (for the benefit of management) and just stood at the bar while the girl who was supposed to be serving just totally ignored us and stood having a conversation with two other people at the bar she never even looked at us so needless to say after waiting for some time we turned and walked out appalling.

Friendly staff with some good banter. The food is good and the staff make sure you have everything you need

Excellent bar food Professional service Good selection of drinks With separate bar and outside seating But ! White Wine was awful 2018 vintage old and tired

Place is amazing to grab dinner. Offers a large selection of different foods and drinks and food quality is amazing. They also offer a 2 course for a set price menu after 4pm. The place is also dog friendly what has approximately 10 dog tables inside a conservatory alongside multiple outside tables. The portion sizes were also really good and I like the fact that you can switch out the chips for curly fries (a rarity to find at places). I had the chicken tempura and curly fries which was amazing and the chocolate cake to finish off.

Found this restaurant while staying in Ayr, lovely lovely staff could not do enough for us. Booking was easy over the internet and best of all the food selection and quality absolutely first class. It was so good we came back a second time but unfortunately we now have to head home to Norfolk otherwise they would have another permanent customer. If you are in Ayr do not pass on this restaurant an bar. Nicola and the rest of the staff will make sure you enjoy your meal.

Was out celebrating graduation on Friday ordered a bottle of Sauvignon blanc and round of drinks and food . The wine tasted like burnt plastic for £17.99 daylight robbery and the food looked and tasted like prison slop . The bar staff sounded as if they were all on work release from HMP Bow-house talking with the most slang ned talk 😡save your money and head to T bar or Harley’s

Food was great and brilliant service 👌

Nice food and great service, even though it was really busy when we visited.

Very welcoming Highly recommend We didnt eat so can't comment on food

Roast beef was lovely, all food in the past has been great. Servers always bubbly and welcoming.

Great place to watch sport and have a nice meal

Great food and great place. Will 100% be back!

Great place with friendly staff and not forgetting the bouncer lovely lady

Food is excellent, pleasant atmosphere, staff are very friendly and welcoming, good menu choices.

Had steak pie was really good portion tasted great hubby had fish said it was delicous he asked for some butter from 2 different waitresses who left to get it and never came back so he was left with a dry roll it wasnt busy so not so good .however both enjoyed our meals at good price

We ate here twice on our trip to ayr and the food was delicious, staff where amazing, friendly would definitely recommend

One of the best places to eat in Ayr

Nice place for a quiet lunch. Very friendly service and yummy food.

This has to be the best pub in ayr for watching football, friendly staff and some nice food

I'm always disappointed when the beer options are mass-produced lagers, one big-brewery ale and Guinness if you're lucky. Why no "proper" beer, even in bottles? The food isn't bad here but unless you're a glutton for punishment and will sit through a quiz whatever, avoid quiz nights. It's like watching one of those game show compilation programmes on Channel 5 at Christmas. I had to shave twice, it went on so long.

Really nice pub, friendly atmosphere and good food!

Only sat outside with our dogs but staff came over and brought a water bowl and were very welcoming. Good atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks 🍸 👌 😜

Had been here in the past as we and our dog love the place as it's very dog friendly and they made him sausages which went down well with us ♥️

I've visited here quite regularly over the years. It's got outside tables at the front and back, it's great on sunny days, and a small car park. The food has always been good and the staff are always really nice. Good atmosphere at nights out and they've usually got a good DJ on at weekends.

Great food, lovely helpful staff,i will defo be back

Food was good, portion sizes were a bit small for the main courses thou given the price, the service staff were superb and the price was average for the area I would go again but not a top 10

Not been to a pub in a long time that's had such good service good food and nice clean tidy pub .2 bar staff/waiters were really helpful friendly and made it a pleasure to have lunch with the family. They could teach other place's a thing or two how it should be done even when it is quite busy well done for great customer service

Busy we went in for drinks people were cueing for food and there was a line to get to the bar.

Went for a family lunch (including wee dog) food was great as was the service. Definitely recommend the warm chicken and bacon salad

Food was really good and as expected pub food but large menu. Allowed to sit in the conservatory with our dog too which is a bonus. Looks like it could be a bit lively in the evenings!

Do not drink in here prices a rip off. Spoons on a five minute walk and wastles not that far price for a pint of Moretti 5.80 Smiths 3.50 wastles all other drinks in Smiths a disgrace so if you want to give your money away then stick to Smiths if not shop around

Very good service and food. Worth a visit

Dearest place to go for a pint 5.80 for moretti avoid and go to Willie wastles 3.50 for moretti with a discount card or 3.70 I won't be back daylight robbery

We were in a company of 8 people who were on a 3 night stay we really never thought of eating any other place its git the lot great and varied food goid choice of drinks and brilliant friendly service I can find nothing better than that

I was in today with my walking group. Staff were very friendly and helpful, advising on soups, curry and desserts. All our food arrived fresh and hot, and everyone said how enjoyable it was. And as for the mango and strawberry cheesecake, stunning. We hope to have a return visit

Great beer bar when the sun is out.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff, the outdoor areas are clean and well kept and it was easy for me to get around with my crutches. Highly recommended

Brilliant ambience, food is excellent and great value and staff are so friendly.

Great pub Great service reasonably priced

Great pint of tennents banter at the bat with staff

Excellent food and service. Lovely evening

Smiths! When I lived in ayr, nay beat it! The beer garden in the sun, fan-fricken-tastic. Reason I only give 4 stars vs 5 is as sometimes the crowds pop bottles at ye head and table service isn’t provided outside (but that’s me being a picky pickle). Great spot all in all.

Great food and very friendly staff. '

9 pound for beer and gin... Nuts, share with swearing regulars, just go to spoons🙄

lovely food ,great service interesting surroundings

Look. It is what it is. It's a very popular venue with locals, loads of space, always full so the staff have their work cut out for them. You could say though that the staff need perhaps extra bodies or extra training to handle the volume of custom they receive. Food came out all in a jumble, the aperol spritz I received was absolutely not how you make an aperol spritz, my main when it arrived was entirely not worth the price and you would question why 'tempura' was in fact just a plate of chips and onion rings. We were shocked by the bill total, even though it was correct because we just did not feel the price was justified. However it is kid friendly, it was an especially busy weekend so allowances can be made for the chaos and it is evidently popular so they must get other things right. I think it'd be suitable for a beer and watching the football but not perhaps for a meal, and certainly not over a long weekend.

Lovely place. Great food. Great atmosphere. Pet friendly and very clean.

Great dinner when we arrived into town. A good selection of spirits

Me and my girlfriend went to the pub today for our anniversary and the place was fantastic, the food was nice, tasty and cooked perfectly. The staff was also very friendly.💯

Outstanding customer service skills from the staff. Food was awesome, cooked to perfection and tasted good too. I would personally rate this place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reasonably priced, wholesome food served with a smile. Separate restaurant and bar, kid and dog friendly.

Pub inspired foods, can get a starter and a main for 12.99. Good customer service.

The staff were very helpful and friendly, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

Lovely pub. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Food was delicious too. Staff were excellent.

Good pub, great beer, friendly staff

First time here and will definitely return . The Sunday roast was delicious and the presentation was fantastic. Lovely place with really lovely staff . Give this place a go if your in Ayr , you won’t regret it x

No table service for drinks in 2023 absolutely shocking.

Stopped in for a steak pie, friendly staff and nice food.

Good, friendly service, lovely staff and great menu

Relaxed atmosphere, good food and great for groups. Staff are friendly and everything is good value. Came here for a work lunch today. Service was great. Lunch menu is ideal and loads of choice. Staff were friendly and attentive. Didn't wait long for food to arrive at all and it was great. Still remains good value given the rise in costs everywhere. Decor is modern, comfortable and clean.

In for dinner with the in-laws and food was good and service was quick....only downside was after 8pm the music from the bar started to blast from the speakers turning our and other diners experience to a shouting match to have a conversation

I have just had a meal here and the food and prices were first class. The staff were lovely and a special shout out to Nicola who made our night special

Day trip and we stopped by for a light lunch and a drink it was

I dined in Smiths over 3 evenings. Beautiful food. Exceptional waiting staff. Kahli was so attentive and Nicola was awesome. Give these ladies a raise. I recommend the chicken tempura it was delicious and a generous portion. So so good. Also had the prawn tempura and the sausage meal. All great. Lovely spot. Super clean and staff are lovely xx

Had a beautiful meal in here, and it was reasonable, the staff were brilliant will be back.

Great food. Friendly helpful reliable staff-will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Great food and drinks, dog friendly too

Visited this place a couple of times with friends for lunch and have a 3rd booking made

On entering we were warmly greeted and seated. So much choice on both menus. We chose from the specials and thoroughly enjoyed both courses. Our server was friendly and polite and all in all we had a lovely time here. Two courses for two and a bottle of wine for under £45 excellent value

1st time there staff are great service excellent friendly atmosphere and quiz night on Thursday you can't get better will be back

Food is good. Staff are awesome

18th birthday party.. Staff were awesome... Great time.. I'd recommend Smiths anytime.

Excellent atmosphere and friendly staff

Bit of a mix-up with the reservation leading to Christmas menu not being offered. However, wait staff were friendly and helpful. The meal was good and reasonably priced.
