Tips for Visiting with Your Dog

Check the policy first

While these pubs are dog-friendly, some may have specific areas for dogs or require them to be on leads.

Water and treats

Most dog-friendly pubs will happily provide water bowls. Some even have treats behind the bar!

Best spots

Beer gardens and outdoor areas are often the most relaxed spaces for dogs. In winter, look for pubs with designated dog-friendly zones inside.
