Golf-X Ayr

Walk into Golf-X and you're immediately in the thick of it — the kind of spot where locals actually gather rather than tourists passing through. You've got your screens for the football, the atmosphere's buzzy without being obnoxious, and the bar staff know what they're doing with a drink. The grill does honest food that doesn't pretend to be something it's not: proper burgers, decent steaks, the kind of thing you want when you're settling in for the evening. Arthur Street's been having a bit of a moment lately, and Golf-X slots in nicely between the traditional boozers and the newer spots trying too hard. It's got that rare quality of feeling genuinely welcoming whether you're catching a match or just fancying a night out with mates.
