Great wee howff ! Excellent ales changing with the wind. Last visit, Wild Cat and Speckly with much banging from the distant cellar heralding variety to come. Warm, friendly folk... and superb food for the cowardly. Splendid topshelf too. And a garden. The lame seagull has now left, but curiosities remain in sheltered corners.

Best selection of real ales in the town. Under new management. Great warm friendly atmosphere, beer garden to the rear which includes best smoking facilities in the town. This pub has been transformed since the arrival of new managment last June. Highly recommended.

A poor shadow of its former self-still what can you expect from Greene King?

There was a sign in the window saying "No food as from 14th January" - new management apparently. The real ale selection was scantier than previously.
What's the future for Dan McKays? Without food and with a limited ale selection they face stiff competition from Bruce's Well just along the road. Indeed, the barperson in Bruce's Well told me they'd been attracting customers from McKays.
I do hope the new regime will not squander the huge amount of goodwill built up by the previous management teams over the years, and continue to offer the range of products and efficient service for which Dan McKays has become known.

Very cheap 'Special' two course lunch during the week.
A pint of Bellhaven "Fly Half", went well with this.
A very friendly pub with hard working bar staff, as it appeared to be popular and rightly so.

good food and brilliant sunny beer garden to the year also one of the few bars in troon with live entertainment some weekends, friendly and welcoming if you dont mind the smell of chips in your beer.
|
Now a Greene King house, meaning IPA, Ruddles and Abbot, but a guest ale is still available. The choice is still greater than most of the other bars in Troon. Much quieter since smoking ban, but this applies generally.
|
Real ale is the real reason to visit this well-run friendly street-corner bar. There's always a good selection of ales from independents. CAMRA pub of the year on at least one occasion.
