Harleys is a well-known rock bar on Ayr’s high street, first established in the 1980s.
It features an open-plan bar and restaurant, serving comfort food, cocktails and live music.

Above Harleys – and also up for sale in the joint deal – is the Printhouse nightclub and live music venue. Originally a printing manufacturer and home to the first Ayrshire Post, Printhouse is one of Ayrshire’s most established music and events spaces.
The space is known for hosting live performances, club nights and private functions.

Initially launched as a bar named Bogarts, the business underwent significant changes in the mid-80’s when Welsh singer Jones took over and rebranded it as Jonesy’s and Powerhouse.
Brian Sheldon, regional director at Christie & Co – the business property adviser handling the sale – said: “Harleys and Printhouse is an established licensed venue within Ayr and is sure to be of interest to operators who are seeking a hugely successful and profitable business.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
