Girvan, a charming seaside town on the Ayrshire coast, offers a pleasant mix of natural beauty and convenient connectivity, making it an appealing destination for both visitors and residents. The town is known for its caravan parks and guesthouses, which cater to seasonal visitors, especially during the warmer months when families come to enjoy the beach, the community leisure centre, and the seafront play area. The harbour, with its views over the water and maritime activity, adds to the town’s appeal as a family-friendly destination.
Flynn's Boatyard has truly transformed into a standout venue following its refurbishment, offering a cosy yet stylish setting for both locals and visitors. Upon entering from the main street, you’re greeted by the warm and inviting public bar. The bar area, though compact, is cleverly designed with high-level poser tables and stools, complemented by booth seating that allows patrons to enjoy views through the large windows. This space also serves as a social hub, featuring TVs for watching live sports, making it a lively spot for locals to gather.
To the left of the bar, you'll find both the ladies' and gents' toilets. Between the bar and the restroom area, a small set of steps leads down into the dining area, which has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The dining space is thoughtfully arranged with a mix of low-level tables, chairs, sofas and booth seating, giving guests a variety of seating options. This area also has its own entrance from the side of the building, providing easy access for diners.
One of the standout features of Flynn's Boatyard is its conservatory, located just to the left of the stairs. With views over the beer garden and the river, the conservatory offers a peaceful and scenic setting for diners. It provides a lovely dining experience, particularly for those who enjoy natural light and outdoor views while they eat. The proximity of the kitchen, located next to the conservatory, ensures efficient service throughout the pub.
Outside, the pub boasts a good-sized west-facing beer garden that catches the afternoon sun and overlooks the river, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing drink on warmer days. Although Flynn's doesn't have its own car park, the convenience of a large public parking area directly opposite the pub makes access easy for both locals and visitors.
Flynn’s Boatyard, with its current 60/40 split between wet and dry sales, is a thriving business that capitalizes on its lively bar atmosphere and traditional food offerings. Live televised sports are a key driver of footfall, drawing in regular guests who enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, enhanced by attractive drink promotions. The traditional food menu serves as a solid foundation, but there’s clear potential to attract holiday makers and caravan trade, expand and increase the food offer and capitalise on passing traffic.
