Fires, flagstones and no side-eye at the bar. Every pub below lets the dog in — and we say exactly which rooms.
A Market Place pub at the eastern corner of the square with a beer garden behind, listed by Thirsk Tourist Information as simply dogs welcome. Dogs come inside as well as into the garden, and the staff are used to them. One of the easiest stops in the town centre with a dog in tow.
A community free house on Norby Front Street, a few hundred yards north of Thirsk parish church on the Northallerton road. It is listed as dog friendly, with a beer garden, real fire and cask ale, and dogs are welcome in the bar. Quieter than the Market Place pubs and all the better for it.
An old inn on Kirkgate between the Market Place and the parish church, opening from mid-morning and serving through the day. It is listed as dog friendly, so dogs are welcome in the bar. A short walk from the Cod Beck riverside path.
Traditional community pub on Ingramgate with log burners, friendly locals and a large beer garden. Dogs are welcome inside with their owners, and the riverside meadows of Cod Beck are moments away across the road. A drinker's pub first and foremost.
Characterful old inn at 13 Finkle Street, one of Thirsk's most historic drinking houses, with a beer garden and regular live music. Dogs are welcome with their owners, and it is the recommended dog-friendly refreshment stop on the Cod Beck riverside circuit. Gets lively on music nights at weekends.
A backstreet local on St James Green, the smaller of Thirsk's two greens, opening in the late afternoon on most days. Thirsk Tourist Information lists it plainly as dogs welcome, and the bar is the sort where yours will be greeted before you are. A few minutes from the Market Place but a world away in feel.
Market place pub (formerly the Blacksmiths Arms) with a strong local reputation for generous home-cooked food. Dogs are welcome inside, and visiting owners consistently rate it among Thirsk's friendliest stops for a meal with the hound in tow. Just yards from the market cross and the town's Herriot connections.
A Market Place pub in the middle of Thirsk, open from late morning and busy on market days. Thirsk Tourist Information records the dog policy simply as well behaved dogs welcome, which in practice means inside with you at the table. Handy for the square, the racecourse buses and the Herriot trail.
