Ultimate Pub Crawl - A Tour of Ayr's Inns, Bars & Real Ale Houses

Which is your favourite pub? Please leave your answer in the comments below, thanks!
OK I missed a few, but this is my guide of the auld toon's most central hostelries, both ancient and modern, thatched and spiritual, CAMRA award winning to spit-and-sawdust local boozer, sports bar to karaoke lounge, tasty bar meals to pork scratchings. Whether you prefer to worship at the altar of fine hand pulled ales, or your happy to stand shoulder to shoulder with the footie crowd with a pint of something cheap and gassy, there's a pub to suit everyone, even lovers of cask conditioned craft beers so beloved of the Campaign for Real Ale people. I'll let you guess which is which! Hostelries featured:
Market Inn, O'Briens, Firehouse, Matha Dickies, Burowfields Bar, Rabbies, The Twa Dugs, Meridian, Ayrshire and Galloway Hotel, Ayr Brewing Company at the Glen Park Hotel, Malt Cross, Bar Libertine, Willie Wastle, Billy Bridges Bar, West Kirk Wetherspoons, McArthurs, McCabes, Wellington Bar, Cactus Jacks Rodeo Bar, Wee Windaes, Boswells Bar and Smiths.
BTW Cactus Jacks is becoming something of a stand-up comedy mecca on certain nights. Will we see the likes of Jason Manford, Michael MacIntyre, Kevin Bridges, Tim Minchin, Marcus Brigstocke, Frankie Boyle, Robin Ince, Janey Godley, Rhod Gilbert, Rob Brydon? Ooh and what about Ricky Gervais after his golden globes 2011 wickedness. Nothing wrong with hoping.
