Sheffield, formerly known as the “steel city,” is now known as the “green city” due to having more trees per person than any other European city.
Dogs can be found all around this busy city, and many more come here on vacation with their human companions. The Peak District is close to Sheffield, and we’ve got all the information you need to take your dog there for a stroll.
Sheffield is home to several dog-friendly bars and cafes, such as the Coffee Kennel, where you and your four-legged companion are welcome to have a drink and a snack. Besides the always-dog-friendly Brewdog bar, we’ve found 15 other great watering holes in the city that you and Fido are sure to enjoy.
THE SHEFFIELD TAP
Beautiful inside and out, the Sheffield Tap is a station bar serving up a staggering array of beers and ales. There are about two dozen beers available in cask and keg, in addition to a wide variety of bottled and canned beverages from all over the world and a few from closer to home. (Handcrafted right there in the building!)
This dog-friendly pub in Sheffield has water dishes behind the bar so your pet may drink as you enjoy one of their many wines or spirits.
