A large modern pub incorporating the frontage of the original Wheatsheaf Hotel, an important coaching inn dating to the early 1700s. Robert Burns was first published in Kilmarnock and may have socialised here with his cronies including Tam Samson who lived close by. The bar is divided into various seating areas and a quiet corner can be found even when busy. Six handpumps dispense a range of ales; food is standard Wetherspoon fayre. Licensed from 11am. East Ayrshire Pub of the Year 2024.
