Fires, flagstones and no side-eye at the bar. Every pub below lets the dog in — and we say exactly which rooms.
York's flagship craft brewery on the bank of the Foss off Walmgate, with a 40-tap Bavarian-style beer hall, street-food kitchen and a covered riverside terrace. The brewery's own answer on dogs is emphatic — "We are! Please bring them. We love dogs" — and they even make their own dog snacks. Long benches leave plenty of floor space for bigger breeds.
The Lendal branch of York's famous medieval drinking den, with a wall of world beers, ancient timbers and hearty stews and boards. The venue's own line is that children and dogs are always welcome here — unlike the original Stonegate branch, which does not admit dogs at all. Weekends get busy, so aim for an afternoon pint if your dog prefers calm.
A child and dog friendly pub on Monkgate, a couple of minutes from Monk Bar and the walls, serving food with a garden at the back. Dogs are welcome inside rather than being kept to the yard. A useful city-centre stop well clear of the Stonegate crush.
York's smallest pub and a recent CAMRA city Pub of the Year, an Edwardian time capsule on Fossgate last redecorated in 1903. Dogs are welcome in the tiny bar and back room provided they stay off the furniture, and regulars' dogs doze in front of the fire while water bowls and treats appear from behind the bar. House rules ban large groups, so it suits one person and one calm hound best.
A big, easy-going Acomb local a mile west of the city walls, where dogs are welcome in every part of the pub rather than banished to the yard. Water bowls, treats and a dedicated dog menu come as standard, and the staff make a fuss of every arrival. Handy for a pint after the Hob Moor or Acomb Wood paths.
A comfortable roadside pub on Tadcaster Road at Dringhouses, listed as a child and dog friendly pub serving food, with a garden at the back. Dogs are welcome indoors. It sits beside the Knavesmire, which is the best open dog walk in south York.
A snug Victorian Nicholson's pub on Goodramgate, a stone's throw from the Minster, known for its rotating pie menu and well-kept cask ale. Dogs are welcome inside, with water bowls and treats offered to doggy visitors. A good first stop after an on-lead amble through Dean's Park below the Minster.
The village pub in Osbaldwick, on the eastern edge of York, which keeps a dog menu behind the bar and asks only that you mention your dog when you arrive. Dogs are welcome in the bar. Quiz nights, live music and a caravan field behind for anyone staying over.
York's best-known small music venue is also a proper pub, and its own listing states that dogs are welcome everywhere, including the bar. There is a very large beer garden behind, which suits a dog on a gig night as much as a quiet afternoon. Fulford Ings and the riverside path are a short walk away.
York's most haunted pub, first recorded in 1503, facing the Shambles with a wonky, story-filled interior and at least fifteen resident ghosts by local reckoning. Dogs are welcome inside and out, with water and treats on offer. Ghost-tour crowds fill it in the evening; the back bar and beer garden are the quieter berths.
A roomy suburban local on Beckfield Lane in Acomb, listed as child and dog friendly, with a garden behind. Dogs are welcome inside, which makes it a reliable end point for a circuit of Acomb Wood or the Rawcliffe paths. Straightforward beer and a genuine neighbourhood crowd.
A rambling 16th-century pub on Goodramgate, a short stroll from the Minster, with a covered courtyard and a warren of small rooms. It is listed as a child and dog friendly pub and keeps dog treats behind the bar. One of the easier central York pubs in which to find a quiet corner with a dog.
A tiny listed pub on George Street with a horseshoe bar, regular jazz nights and a paved beer garden tucked beneath the city walls. The pub states plainly that it is dog friendly, and at this scale your dog will be part of the conversation whether it likes it or not. A good finish to a walk of the walls.
A Castle Rock alehouse on Lawrence Street, just beyond Walmgate Bar, with a long line of handpumps and a dog-friendly policy set out among its facilities. It is a drinking pub rather than a dining room, which makes it an easy one to walk into with a dog. The walled yard at the back is a bonus in summer.
An independent back-street local in Clementhorpe, in a building of 1840 with stained glass recalling the old shipyard. CAMRA records it as dog friendly, and the rear garden fills up on summer evenings. A minute from the Ouse path and Rowntree Park.
A large, comfortable pub on Blossom Street just outside Micklegate Bar, listed as child and dog friendly and serving food through the day. Dogs are welcome indoors as well as in the garden. Well placed between the station, the racecourse and the walls.
Reputedly York's oldest licensed inn, trading since 1644 down a snickelway off Stonegate, with a rare beer garden that looks up at the Minster. Dogs are welcome inside and out, and water bowls and treats are kept ready for four-legged visitors. A natural pause on the Stonegate-to-Minster tourist trail.
Atmospheric gas-lit inn on High Petergate, on the site where Guy Fawkes was born in 1570, sitting in the shadow of the Minster. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the bar and all three beer gardens, but not in the restaurant or the hotel bedrooms. Order from the bar menu and claim a spot by the fire.
An unaltered 1930s pub on CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors, wet-led with a superb rotating cask range and a proper drinking corridor. Well-behaved dogs on leads are very welcome and staff have been known to hand out biscuits; there is no food service, so no dining-room complications. A short stroll from the Bishopthorpe Road shops and the riverside.
