The population of dogs in the UK was estimated at 12.5 million in 2020/21, so it’s no surprise some of our favourite watering holes have now introduced dog-friendly policies meaning we can grab a pint with our pooches.
According to Statista, this statistic has grown from nine million the previous year, meaning there’s a lot more dogs and dog owners out there.
So where are the best places in Dundee to frequent with your dog when looking to enjoy a drink or a bite to eat in your local beer garden?
We’ve rounded up the must-visit venues where your pooches will be welcomed with open arms. Plus, our handy interactive map will also highlight other venues you can try out as well.
There will no doubt be an array of other dogs there, so not only is it great they don’t have to stay at home, but, they can socialise too!
St Andrews Brewing Co
If you’re looking for a refreshingly crisp beer to enjoy in the sun, then be sure to head down to St Andrews Brewing Co at Caird Hall.
With plenty of seating, you and your furry friend can meet up with other humans to enjoy an afternoon of fun and socialising together.
There’s plenty of craft beer on offer with other drinks available, too.
