Dog Friendly Pubs and Bars

With a choice of year-round dog-friendly beaches and wonderful coastal walks around Tor Bay, Devon, it seems a shame to leave your dog at home. Fortunately, when you visit the English Riviera you don’t have to. There are plenty of dog-friendly places to stay. And if you’re bringing your pooch on holiday with you, it’s great to know that there are plenty of dog-friendly pubs and bars out there to choose from too. Use this guide to help sniff out where you and your hound will be made most welcome.

Historic hostelries for hounds

Built in around 1450, the Hole in the Wall claims to be Torquay’s oldest pub. There’s a quaint cobbled floor and the ceiling beams are low ensuring a very cosy atmosphere for you and your dog. As you’d expect from such a traditional pub, you can find a proper pint here with regular ales in the cellar including Sharp’s Doom Bar, Butcombe and Otter Bitter as well as a host of guest beers and ciders to choose from.

Or let you dog stretch their legs around the 450-acre parkland at Cockington. Whatever time of year you visit, you can both enjoy a drink at the pretty Drum Inn in the village. This thatched pub was designed by Edwin Lutyens and has an extensive cellar to quench your thirst.

Dog-friendly pubs for salty sea-dogs

When you need a break from walkies near Torquay’s harbour you can take a refreshing drink at Offshore Bar safe in the knowledge your dog is very welcome too. It serves a good range of beer, cocktails, and food and you can watch the boats in the harbour as you rest. Or step a little further along the promenade, and just across the road from Torre Abbey Beach you’ll find Visto Lounge Torquay. The place to see and be seen, sit out on the terrace to enjoy your coffee al fresco with your pet. If you’re visiting in the winter months, your dog can enjoy a swim in the sea from the beach across the road. Or walk just a little further along the seafront to Livermead Beach, where your dog can splash in the waves all year round.

Award Winning Cary Arms Inn and restaurant at Babbacombe has a reputation for serving up seasonal dishes with panache. And you can’t fault its stunning location right on the sea. Whether you want to enjoy a celebratory meal or just a refreshing pit stop during a coast path walk, it’s good to know your dog will always be very welcome here – just don’t let them get too close to your plate of Devon sausages!

An inn worthy of your finest pedigree

Torbay is home to 22 miles of spectacular coast path, stretching along the entire length of the English Riviera. It’s the ideal walking ground for you and your dog. If you’re planning to tackle it, it pays to be prepared and know where you and your pet will be welcome when you need to take a well-earned rest.

If you don’t want to leave your dog behind on your next holiday, take a look through our site to find everything from dog-friendly places to stay to places to walk across Torbay, including Torquay, Cockington, Babbacombe, Paignton and Brixham.
