AYR OF THE DOG

BUF is the name of Ayr’s latest bar-restaurant at 10 Arthur Street. It’s the sister venue of BUF on Prestwick’s Main Street and owner Kevin Finney has spent £600k on refurbishing the former McArthur’s with what the team behind it describe as an ‘up-cycled interior’.

Conor Kelly, who handles marketing and events for the company, told DRAM, “BUF Ayr is a fully evolved version of the BUF concept. The new venture signals the first phase of expansion for the brand following the success of the original BUF venue in Prestwick, creating over 30 jobs
in the process. The place was really run down and because it had been closed for three years was full of pigeon droppings.

“The whole project took from January to March to complete, so it was all hands to the pumps. We actually opened ahead of schedule.”

He continued, “Much of the interior has been up-cycled. For example, the wood has been recovered from old scaffolding boards.”
