Reviving an old thread as I couldn't find a newer one and have recently acquired a dog. I'm looking for somewhere local for a work lunch but generally would be good to know what establishments since this thread was originally posted are OK with dogs. Franklins looks like a yes, what about the Palmerston which has changed management/ownership? 

Thanks in advance for doggy intel!

Split this into a new 2024 topic. The posts in the old thread were from 2016 and now factually incorrect.

Leave your dog at home, please. It’s not going to enjoy it, at best it’ll endure it. If you’re blind, then of course bring your dog to the pub/cafe/office and expect lots of good wishes and respect, maybe even a treat for Rover, but if not, please don’t (or sit outside). Not everyone likes dogs and some are thoroughly frightened or allergic and to ignore this is solipsistic and self-centered. (I like dogs a lot but only in the home or the park.)

ED is super dog friendly in my experience. All the pubs are dog friendly, as is Brunos and Drop wine bar, plus Oru and pretty much all the coffee shops. In terms of restaurants nearby(ish), Peckham Cellars and Kudu are both super welcoming to dogs. It's great to take your dog out with you for drinks/food as it really helps to socialise them, plus it really adds to the atmosphere in some places. Enjoy!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the wonderful Gowlett so far.  Very dog friendly and usually a water bowl out for them.  Our dog loves going there because it means pizza crusts!  

It's good to see that a number of shops are dog friendly too as it is no longer safe/acceptable to leave your dog tied up outside.  It always feels frustrating when you pass a place where you would like to pick up some bread or milk, yet you have to go home with the dog first.  

Very surprised at the comment that dogs are not welcome in other countries as I've not seen this anywhere apart from places that have an issue with strays, which is a completely different matter.  Dogs paws have walked on exactly the same streets as people's shoes, so why do they present a hygiene issue?

Thanks for all the tips. I don't drink anymore so am very rarely in pubs but it's good to know where I can take him with me when I'm doing errands. He is usually fine tied up outside a shop for a short while anyway. Once he's used to staying home alone, I won't need to take him everywhere with me. As he's a rescue racing dog, he's glued to my side as he's convinced I'll leave him and not come back.

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
