Largs;
A ‘spoons. Not a bad ‘spoons, by any means, modern, always busy, but not bad, with a great location on the seafront by the ferry terminal.

The Waterside
Largs:
Downm a side street, but near the sea front. Fairly traditional inside, but nothing very special, there was cask, which was nice, but it was distinctly below par, which was less nice, having had a decent pint of the same beer just hours earlier. Food available, but not when we visited.
The George
Largs:
Another pub with no cask, but a “craft” IPA sufficed. Decent food, friendly staff, and a good layout with plenty of bench seating made this feel a bit more relaxed than the surrounding pubs on a very busy Saturday night, and returning later in the week it felt positively spacious.
The Three Reasons
Largs:
Busy pub with standard pubfood menu on the A78 seafront. This was another packed pub; the good weather had brought Glasgow out for a seaside drink and meal, and this wasn’t a bad place for that.
Still a limited choice of cask ale, but at least there was something drinkable. Food looked OK, staff friendly.

Largs:
Our first pub in Largs, our first drink being in a hotel bar, so not counting.
Had quite high hopes for this; it’s just away from the seafront, and was listed in our Good Beer Guide (even if our GBG is a little out-of-date). As it was, it didn’t impress; not awful by any means, but walking in, the only cask ale was Doom Bar (shudder), and the place was packed with people watching the kicksphere: it was dark and noisy. Half of Glasgow was in Largs, and many of them were in here.
A subsequent visit made it a bit better- still no drinkable cask, but Shipyard keg, and we found the beer garden. Staff were OK, and it was one of very few pubs with an actual beer garden in town, but it wasn’t what we hoped for.
