  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for groups
  • Neighbourhood gem
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.

    Great bar in Ayr. Love the vibe, love the food and the service. Such a cool place to be and we’re so lucky to have it in Ayr. The quiz being on was just an added bonus. Love it!

    Very steep steps down into it...cave like...but lovely place...quite small tho.....you easliy forget where you are. Young guy with glasses serving tables was fantastic...always checking you had what you needed and clearly enjoyed his job. Added greatly to the place. Food was very well presented and tasted as good as it looked....Good value. You defo will not be disappointed. You better to book a table to guarantee a seat.

    I booked a table for my mum and dad’s 32nd anniversary they couldn’t have been happier with the service from all the staff team. Absolutely loved their night out, really appreciated the staff wishing them a happy anniversary. Couldn’t have been any better thank you so much!

    5* cant fault anything staff were friendly and attentive. Food is amazing, good portion sizes, quality meat and homemade sauces just to mention a few of the good points. Cocktails all sound fun and delicious, the haribo cola was perfect to start my night.

    My bestie and I shared a goats cheese pizza and chilli Parmesan fries. We had drinks and finished with a margarita (the real deal). It was raining so sitting outside was not an option but we enjoyed our lunch.

    Staff were very pleasant and reliable and service was exceptional. The food was well presented and there was ample on the plate. Food was also very good quality and presentation was first class. Totally enjoyed my dining experience and will definitely be back for more of the same again.
