15 SPLENDID DOG FRIENDLY PUBS IN SCARBOROUGH

Since the 18th century, Scarborough has served as a popular coastal resort and vacation spot for locals. Its sandy, sun-drenched reputation remains intact, making it ideal for a day at the beach and a feast on the excellent seafood available in the area.

Beautiful walks can be had on the neighbouring beaches or the North York Moors. However, after a long day of exploring, you and Fido will need a comfortable place to relax.

We’ve done the research and found a bunch of Scarborough watering holes that welcome dogs.

THE BELLYRUB

The BellyRub is not only a great place to eat, but also a great place to take your dog because it is one of the few dog-friendly pubs in Scarborough. If you couldn’t tell by the name, this is a place where humans and their pets can relax and enjoy each other’s company.

A variety of delicious street foods are available, in addition to a large range of craft brews. There are also likely to be treats for your dog, such as some specialised peanut-butter biscuits.
