We popped in on a Friday evening. It was nice and busy. The one real ale was not on, which was a shame. They have their own Tam O Shanter bottled beer which I will try next time, as didn’t see it until after ordering a very good pint of Guinness.

Lovely traditional bar, smallish inside, however our group of ten were accommodated together. Staff were attentive but not overbearing. The food comes from another building next door (with a lane between them) therefore soup and teas and coffee are not carried between the buildings. Steak pie, macaroni, fish and burgers were all fantastic.

Good food, friendly staff. Even let mum who couldn't finish all of her steak pie take the rest of her meal home in a wee tray. Seats aren't the best though and it's a little cramped but that's just how the building is. Both the steak pie and chicken and leek pies were good, nice chunks of meat. Will definitely come back again.

Had Cullen slink for the first time. Loved it. I have a very fuzzy daughter and she loved the haggis. Good prices aswell. Probably would have had more atmosphere if we were in the bar rather than the restaurant.

Loved and lived in ayr, had to bring momma back. She did a proper pub tour and her favourite was The Tam. She even got a Scottish whiskey and she is a wine girlie. 10/10 pub. Not a straight line in sight, fun angles and no flat floors. Authentic and perfect.

Great traditional Scottish food probably the best in the area. Brilliant service with friendly staff who will happily chat and tell you all about the pub and town’s history.

Very cosy place. We love this place with my husband. Sometimes we are coming especially from Glasgow for the dinner. Just to sit and enjoy. Everything is always yummy. Feels like at home - you don't want to get out . There are pictures on wall showing old times - feels like I was in there in another life. It's strange, but I always have feeling, that I was dreaming about exactly this place, before I even came to UK. And I was wondering that time - I do not know place like this (wet pavement that dream time was brick, stone buildings, this warm light from inside , when outside is just about to get dark), no grass, no trees. But there were black lanterns - I think from different age/ century. Today was windy and rainy. Plant behind window was dancing and Robert Burns smiled from label on bottle, sitting under picture in corner. Definitely it was a very nice afternoon, service very professional and smiling. I recommend for all that experience, like this could be a hundred years ago, and I could hear horse behind window, and people could still talking in background...
