Dog-friendly pubs in Robin Hood’s Bay

The village's much-loved cafe-cum-post-office, happy to accommodate dogs alongside your tea and toast. A charming old-village stop partway down the bank.

The dockside pub at the very bottom of the village, where a wall plaque marks the finish of Wainwright's Coast to Coast walk and the downstairs bar is named in his honour. Its own site says it plainly: dogs are welcome throughout the pub.

A village cafe-bistro that is dog-friendly both inside and out, so nobody has to shiver on the step with the lead. A reliable refuel between the beach and the climb back up the bank.

The clifftop hotel bar above the old village welcomes dogs and even runs a doggy menu, with options like sausage and mash for the four-legged diner. Its terrace views down over the bay are some of the best on this stretch of coast.

A cosy village bistro that welcomes one well-behaved dog per party, though space is tight so large dogs cannot be accommodated. Booking ahead is recommended, particularly in season.

The smallest pub in Robin Hood's Bay, a beamed early-18th-century bar on New Road hung with smuggling history. Dogs are allowed everywhere as long as they are kept on a lead — no food, just good ale and conversation.
