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.

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.
