Quick info
About Smiths Bar
Smiths Bar is a pub and restaurant on Dalblair Road in Ayr, working as a walk-in venue where guests seat themselves without a reservation. The kitchen turns out standard pub fare, with steak pie and Sunday roast among the regulars on the menu. Limited on-site parking is available at the front, and the front-of-house team meets arrivals at the door. Diners have secured a table on busier occasions simply by walking in. The room covers both a bar side and a restaurant side under one roof, giving the place a dual purpose for a casual drink or a sit-down meal.

“Went in for some lunch while attending the air show. The staff were friendly and pleasant. The menu had a decent selection of food on offer. They even do a deal for two or three courses on a Saturday. My lunch was tasty and good value for money. I finished off my lunch with a cappuccino. It was one of the best that I've ever had. I would have no hesitation in eating here again. P.S. the toilets were spotless.”
