It's a small pub but with bar stools plus a few tables and normal-sized chairs. There's a flat screen TV on the wall. However, we couldn't wait to leave because of the loud music which made conversation impossible. I did ask the pleasant bar staff to turn it down, which they did, but it was still far too loud. There was only one other person in the bar who didn't seem to care whether music was on or off. I'm afraid we won't bother to return here but we'll try somewhere else the next time we're in West Kilbride.

A five-star view, with caveats…read more First off the Drift Inn is without a doubt the best place to eat and drink in Lamlash. We've tried the competition and frankly the Drift has the best beer and Scotch selection, food, and atmosphere. Inside it's a restaurant, outside it's a country pub with lots of well-spaced outdoor seating. It has the basics food-wise down pat. Huge fish and chips and excellent mussels - in the latter case just the right size between tasty and chewy. A great wine and beer selection and excellent service. The one down side was an overly-promised starter. Spending 15 quid on a few tiny bits of food artfully arranged stuck in the craw somewhat. But what the hell, they're nice people and the rest of it was superb.

I loved this pub and the food was probably the best we had on Arran. I actually didn't know about…read morethis place until the day before we left to go to Arran when I had 4 different people recommend it to me - I knew we had to go from that fact alone! It's in the lovely town of Lamlash and really easy to find. We parked along the road and then walked down as we were there quite early and it didn't open til midday. There's a beautiful view over the water to Holy Isle and you can get a ferry over if you're so inclined - we decided to just appreciate it from afar. The pub itself is kind of nautical/rugby themed and really cosy inside - there's a fireplace and lots of seating as well as some couches and a kids area. I ordered a bowl of Cullen Skink (Scottish haddock soup) as well as the Angler's Platter for one (Creeler's hot and cold smoked salmon, seafood and soft cheese mousse, fishcake and homemade bread). The soup was just delicious - I don't eat Cullen Skink enough and when I have one as good as this, I wonder why - thick, jam packed with fish and really tasty. I loved the platter too - the fish cake was the highlight for sure, but everything on it was so tasty and I loved how local it all was. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and we enjoyed grazing here for a while. They have a great booze selection but as I was driving I didn't have any - next time we visit I would definitely see about getting the bus or a taxi here from Brodick so we could get stuck into the gin! Note: they have gluten free bread, breadcumb and batters are available upon request.

Weekends There is always some form of entertainment on from quiz nights to karaoke and even for a quiz night love been here and there only being two in the bar but l recon this is more of a sports bar with all the unusual items plastered on the walls and ceilings mainly from golf. Drinks Aren't always the same here they change the selection quite often but I'm not sure if that's a good thing, they used to have west on tap but then discontinued soon after. This has to be one of the better bars in the area you can have a few drinks here and not have any hassle.

Stayed here for one night for a short break away from the city. It was a Saturday night so the bar…read morewas pretty full when we arrived, but they had a table reserved for us, and after checking into our room, we squeezed ourselves into a cosy corner beside the wood-burning stove. Toasty! The food menu was surprisingly accomplished for such a small country pub, and I was particularly impressed by their offer to make me a special fish pie without the dairy filling. Jolly tasty it was too. We got chatting to a couple of friendly locals who were eating at the next table, and ended up spending the rest of the evening with them at the bar. Everyone was so friendly, we felt like we'd been coming here for years despite it being our first visit! The bedroom was large and quite well-appointed, they had made good use of the space under the roof eaves to fit in a large king-sized bed. The en-suite was compact but had a good shower, and everything was spotlessly clean. There's no phone signal so you do feel cut off from the outside world a bit, but the wi-fi is good throughout. The River Ayr runs past the inn and has some lovely peaceful walks in either direction along the banks. Overall, a great find. We thoroughly enjoyed our wee break and would happily stay here again. A perfect getaway location.

Although we showed up at 9pm, the kitchen was still open for a late dinner. We decided to try the duck confit as a starter, along with Ox cheek. Although the duck confit was not my cup of tea, the Ox cheek was amazing! We also decided to order the fish and chips, which came with a side of mashed peas and was delicious! It is a bit pricey if you don't order on the lunch menu, but nonetheless, worth it. The restaurant has a vey comfortable ambiance. It feels very classy, yet has a rustic charm. This is definitely a nice restaurant and bar, with prime location along the harbour. It's worth a visit if your in Ayr!

Truly stunning and exceptional place…read more Family and I (American tourists) stopped in on advice from a friend since we had a few hours to kill before our ferry. It was a Sunday afternoon in late December, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to rest and eat and enjoy Arran than here. The live music was fantastic (Anchorline and Friends), playing bits of what I assume was Scottish folk music, along with a bit of American folk as well. The atmosphere was lively and fun, service was excellent despite the hustle and bustle. Finally, the food and drink was exceptional as well! I had the burger with haggis (loved it) and my family all had different burgers/sandwiches with chips and salad, all got rave reviews. Topped off with great dessert (Hot Chocolate with a bit of Arran Gold for me, amazing). Can't express enough how great this place is, on a small island off the West coast of Scottland. I've travelled quite a bit, and it was truly one of my favorite experiences in the world, both this bar and the isle itself. Hopefully we'll find our way back soon!

Now I'm not into fiddle music and obviously that's the kind is music they play, but it wasn't annoying at all. We had a beer and wine - a large rosè for me and a pint of Arran blonde for Graeme. Came to £10 for the round which I thought was a little pricey but then, I guess Arran is. It's casual inside and their menu is pretty simple but the people next to us were saying they were really impressed with what they ate. If you can, get a seat in the bay window as then you'll have a beautiful view over Brodick Bay.

The dining area stays open till late and the bar is open to 1:30am. They make some stunning cocktails and from £3 - £5 they are sometimes better value than a normal drink.
