The Red Bear

A cheery corner local on The Green in the middle of Thorne, a couple of minutes from the market place and from the towpath of the Stainforth and Keadby Canal, which is the standard dog walk in this town. There is a beer garden at the back and sport on the screens most days, so it is a practical rather than a pretty stop after the canal or Thorne Memorial Park. Craft Union names this pub on its dog-friendly list and says its dog-friendly locals keep water bowls behind the bar, with treats varying from pub to pub. That welcome is published by the pub group rather than by the pub itself, so ask at the bar if you want the quiet side.
