Smuggler's in South Ayrshire

Very friendly and very good service will be back when back in Prestwick

"spit and sawdust" type of pub. Does beer and nothing fancy. Has a pool table and a juke box. What more do you want?

Didn't have food but the beer service and atmosphere and prices were excellent 👍🍺

We didn't eat here. The staff were so friendly and made our pugs welcome too! Lovely people ❤️

Best wee pub in Prestwick..Great staff and a jukebox..love it.

Great wee pub with friendly customers & good staff.

Best pub in prestwick . Full 35 mil and best prices.

Great wee pub......Fiona is great.... friendly staff....good for beer and pool 🥃

Lively local friendly bar . Staffed well . Very busy peak times but staff cope well. Must be one of the best bars in Prestwick!

It's just a classic old pub with loads of atmosphere standing room only at weekends if you're not in early 😉 and dog friendly 😀

Had a great night in smugglers. . Busy wee place and met old friends hadn't seen in yrs

Authentic bar experience meeting lovely locals and friendly tourists. Then there is Louise! As visitors we appreciated the generous sharing of inside info and golf tidbits.

A good and friendly pub worth a visit

Lovely friendly bar with a real 'local' feel.

Told to leave by the landlady for singing happy birthday for a freinds 60th.Even the locals voiced their disapproval about her decision. Go and have a drink, but dont enjoy yourself.. otherwise YOU BARRED !!

Always friendly, good craic. Staff are great. Prices good. Nothing not to like.

Great atmosphere bar staff are amazing

Great we pub friendly locals and staff dog friendly until 7pm

Great wee pub, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere, well worth a visit

Zero stars A group of us went into smugglers and had a couple of drinks. I picked some music on the jukebox, and we were singing along. Within 5 seconds, the manager was over saying "this is not a karaoke bar." Then, she refused us service, and we were told it was time to leave. Now, I understand this approach if customers are rude, offensive, or drunk. However, none of us were. I was so taken aback. My suggestion for you going forward is to remove the jukebox to defer your customers from singing along to a song in the first place rather than charging them for playing the song. Also, maybe put up signs saying no singing as many customers have complained about similar treatment in the past. I will never be back and will pass on the word to others.

Awful pub . Was in on a Saturday afternoon for my aunts birthday celebration. Was 7 of us ages 31-61. After putting some money in the jukebox we were told to stop singing its not a karaoke bar. Then refused service at the bar and told to go elsewhere. The bar maid has an awful manner. There is other reviews about ‘vile barmaid and crabit barmaid “ so im assuming its the same person. Also the round previous to getting refused service another barmaid was encouraging shots. I think maybe the staff need to be on the same page. Defo do not go if you want a fun night out.

Lovely pub but dreadful management. Can’t understand why the woman behind the bar chose to work in the hospitality industry as there’s nothing hospitable about her. We were told to leave after singing along to the jukebox in no uncertain terms. No wonder pubs are closing at the rate they are when they have this attitude to customers. We did leave and spent our money in a lovely pub close by. Will never return to smugglers and will warn friends and family not to visit

Great night out, played some pool and met some lovely people

Don't come to Ayr and not go here. It's a must.....

Ended our evening here following a visit to Prestwick for a Christmas works lunch. Can get busy at times.

Great wee pub, cracking crowd, good atmosphere. Brilliant prices, and still has one of the few pool tables left in prestwick!

Cracking wee pub & good atmosphere!👍🏻🍺🍻🍸

Great service and a fine pint of the hard to find Tenant’s 60’

Friendly staff and a great pint that's all you need.

great bar dog freindly plenty patter 👍👍👍👍👍

Great pub, good service good choice of drink.

Good service, cheap and exactly what it says on the tin

Great wee pub, a definite local but we as visitors were made more than welcome by both staff and customers. Definitely one to visit again. X

Down to earth bar with friendly staff and locals. There is a pool table and juke box.

Great to see the pub back open.

In 2005, my sister, brother and I were stuck in the rain, having missed our flight. We stumbled into this pub and played pool with some locals our age (19-23ish). My sister kicked their butts at pool and we all became friends. They let us crash at theirs instead of sleep at the airport. They fed us and bought flats of white cider for us and made a huge breakfast in the morning. They even gave us cab fare. We exchanged info so we could return the favor when we got back to the states, but we lost all their info, so if this sounds familiar to anyone, please know we think of you and that night at Smugglers all the time. Also, everyone at the bar was awesome and gave us money to play the jukebox and bought us shots. We loved this bar so much!

Great pub with lovely bar staff and people.

Great local pub! 35ml measures too.

Great dog friendly pub. Lovely staff and one of the best pubs in Prestwick. Also has a pool table up the back.

Lovely traditional pub setting, pool table, quiz machine and outstanding juke box (with a vast selection Iron Maiden to Abba via Dolly Parton) friendly welcoming staff (Louise is fantastic) and decent selection behind the bar. It's not a trendy wine bar or a wetherspoons, it's an authentic pub.

Very friendly and good prices!👌

Fantastic pub. Louise makes everyone who drinks here feel that they are special. Always takes the time to spend a few minutes with every single person in the pub. She also recruits really well, bar staff tonight have been outstanding. Friendly yet no nonsense approach. Just love the place. David.

It was a very good night out with my friend and I would go back too it any time in the future as I look at it as one of my favourite bar's to go to in the town

Person on duty wasn't too responsive to new faces, one drink then left.

Great wee pub, reasonably priced, great staff and good atmosphere

Chocka block while everywhere else is quiet. Tells you everything.

A homely friendly Scottish pub with regulars from Prestwick in every day.... A great place for a pint or a wee dram

Nice people in there,amazingly most of them are scottish,has lovely atmosphere the bar staff are wonderful and have enjoyed every time i have been in there.

A group of 13 of us in on a Saturday afternoon celebrating my dads 81st birthday after a great overnight at the Parkstone. After putting fiver in duke box and ordering our 2nd drink we were then told of for singing along to the music by the less than friendly barmaid. We were informed it wasnt a karaoke bar and if we wanted to sing to go elsewhere. Have visited Prestwick on many occasions and always received a friendly welcome in any pub we have been in until now. Needless to say we left and took our business elsewhere. Avoid at all costs if you want to enjoy yourself.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff.
