THE CRAFTY CROW

Magpie Brewery’s taproom, The Crafty Crow, serves as a mecca for fans of real ale and craft beer, and it’s a champion of small, local breweries.

Even though it’s primarily frequented by humans, this pub is also highly regarded as one of the best in Nottingham for bringing your dog, as they provide free water and lots of love to all four-legged visitors.

Keep a watch out for the next one of these barking insane group’s doggy paw-ties, since proceeds go to the Blue Cross.

YE OLDE TRIP TO JERUSALEM

Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is the oldest bar in England, and no visit to Nottingham is complete without a pint or two at this legendary watering hole. (It’s competing with another Nottingham institution, Ye Olde Salutation.)

The Trip has a wealth of history and underground tunnels, now used as their basement. Dogs are welcome downstairs, and they will be brought their own drinks while their owners relax.

FOUR BELLS

The personnel at the Four Bells are exceedingly dog-friendly, and all dogs are given food, water, and lots of pets. This is a wonderfully dog-friendly pub in Nottingham out near Woodborough, where all the family is welcome.

Since it’s further out from the city centre you can anticipate a charming, country pub with a strong community vibe, as well as delectable homemade meals and heaps of tasty tipples.

THE VAT & FIDDLE

The Vat & Fiddle has a wonderful assortment of real ales available, many from local Castle Rock brewery, who own the bar.

This is a “proper” pub, and that reflects in the menu which is all hearty, generously-portioned stuff that’s guaranteed to line your stomach and wash down well with an ale.

Pooches are welcome but might prefer quieter daylight hours since some evenings might grow packed if there’s a match on or live music performing.

THE OLD VOLUNTEER

One of four pubs managed by The Blue Monkey brewery, The Organ Grinder Nottingham hosts lots of the Monkey’s ales and keg beer on rotation, as well as the occasional guest beer and several scrumpy ciders.

The beers are top-notch, but the service and atmosphere are superb. If you want an extremely friendly pub, visit here. You and the dog will be very well looked after!

THE ROBIN HOOD & LITTLE JOHN

Residents of Arnold frequent the Robin Hood & Little John because it is one of the few drinking holes in Nottingham that welcomes dogs.

The store sells goods from Mrs. Bishop’s Doggy Deli, and there are even two varieties of dog beer for your pampered pet to enjoy.

Humans however will be thrilled by the assortment of drinks, particularly the variety of authentic ciders on offer.

THE MALT CROSS

It’s hard to find a dog-friendly pub in Nottingham, but the Malt Cross is among the best.

The pub is located in a Victorian music hall, one of the few of its kind still standing, and the building’s original elements have been preserved, making it a one-of-a-kind and memorable destination. (And that goes double for the ceiling!)

It’s a Christian cafe/bar that hosts many charity events and musical performances to keep the place’s history alive.

Your dog might try to give you a “armpit surprise” if he or she tries to snuffle some of the great food off your plate, which satisfies practically all of your senses.

THE FRAME BREAKERS

The Frame Breakers, located outside of the city’s main drag, is a finalist in this year’s dog-friendly pub awards, so you know your furry buddy will have just as much fun as you will.

In fact, feline companions are also welcome. Even though the treats are provided at no cost, organisers ask that owners consider supporting The Dog’s Trust with a little payment in exchange.

You may kick back here with a cup of coffee and a slice of cake during the day, or a meal and a beer after work.

THE BREAD & BITTER

The Bread and Bitter is another top-notch watering hole, a haven for fans of craft beer and home cooking.

Although the beer is the star, wine and spirit drinkers are not ignored, and there is a tantalising selection of beverages to quench your thirst. If you’re looking for some history while you’re there, you may check out the graveyard of local brewers or the old baking ovens.

This Nottingham watering hole welcomes families with dogs, and they provide free goodies and water dishes for Fido.

POPPY & PINT

The Poppy & Pint, like all but one of the pubs owned by Castle Rock Brewery, welcomes dogs and provides them with plenty of attention and treats.

A truly welcoming and luxuriously roomy local for anyone in the Lady Bay area, P&P has earned a formidable reputation for superb cuisine and fantastic service, much like its sister pubs.

Even if you’ve already visited the other Castle Rock establishments, you shouldn’t pass up this one because it was recently named pub of the year by the Nottingham branch of CAMRA.

THE DOCTOR’S ORDERS

The Doctor’s Orders, also from Magpie Brewery, claims to be Nottingham’s first micropub and is just as well-liked by canines as by humans.

You might even tumble over a dog or two here, there are that many canines. In spite of its compact layout, this pub offers a wide selection of ales, craft brews, and genuine ciders.

Despite its small size, this pub offers a wider selection of drinks and food than you may expect.

THE BOAT INN

At The Boat Inn, canine companions are welcome in the bar and garden area, but must remain outside of the guest rooms.

You can still have all the food and drinks you want, and you can warm up by the fire with your dog.

An authentic dive bar with a colourful past.

THE LINCOLNSHIRE POACHER

The Lincolnshire Poacher has a charming atmosphere, especially if you want a more rustic or vintage aesthetic.

Exposed brick, wooden panelling, and antique accents abound. Although it lacks the historical significance of some of the city’s other watering holes, it is universally regarded as the best spot in town to enjoy a pint of genuine ale.

There is a wide variety of affordable (and filling) pub fare on the menu, so there may be enough left over for Fido.

THE WHITE LION

The White Lion, a family-run pub in the suburb of Bramcote, is another option for those looking for a dog-friendly bar in Nottingham.

There are bowls of water and goodies for the dogs, and the staff “mutts” over them. They take good care of humans too, albeit they don’t give them as many head scratches.
