Super local pub, great pint and lovely staff and locals. Dog friendly. Great Craic. (Bit bright bring cash, Girvan is a cash Town!!)
Great Karaoke on a Tuesday 3pm till late. Different age groups catered for, free sandwiches excellent bar staff.
Had a wonderful evening with "the sixties" night and karaoke! Sorry! .... Have to say last night didn't end nicely at all, the place deserves 5star for friendliness , service, and everything....BUT....there was a blonde haired girl wiping the table and was extremely rude to myself, and two of my female friends! We had every intention of vacating the premises when we had finished our drink which had just been served, we couldn't drink it all in one go, but this female pretended to squirt her disinfectant spray on my friends and was very verbally aggressively trying to move us out the pub. I am a 74yr old lady and my friends are "locals" and support the pub very well! We went to great bother to get our sixties costumes, and joined in with the karaoke and dancing, as not many people had turned out, I am just appalled that this girls behaviour and bad attitude sickened all of us, 7of us can't be wrong!
Great local pub..Locals were friendly and the Guinness was excellent. Good place to watch live sport too.
