On the hunt for dog-friendly pubs in Dublin city centre? The Temple Bar has got you well and truly covered. A traditional Irish boozer with a bucketload of quirky charm, this joint is the perfect place to grab a pint while your pooch naps by your feet.
A high-end haunt flaunting creative cocktails and Italian eats, Zozimus Bar is a total hotspot. It's also one of the best dog-friendly restaurants in Dublin city centre, featuring a terrace where your pup can join you as you tuck into antipasti, pizza or pasta.
Showcasing stained glass doors, mahogany features and a buzzing atmosphere, Kehoes Pub is an absolute local favourite. And, lucky for us, its pup-friendly policy means that you won't have to part with your dog when you fancy an evening in town.
You and your dog will be in good company at Toners, as everyone from politicians to celebrities have been spotted in here over the years. This is a historic pub that dates back to 1734, maintaining many of its Victorian features and decked out in traditional furnishings.
The family-run boozer has been owned by the same people since 1987, and they're known for their range of Irish whiskies. Whether you're inside or out in the spacious yard, you can also enjoy pizzas from their neighbours at Cirillo's while you drink.
Nestled in the city centre, this restaurant and bar boasts slick interiors, an excellent selection of wine and contemporary European cuisine. The best part? Amy Austin welcomes dogs of all shapes and sizes, with water bowls (and maybe a snack or two) at hand.
Make your way over to Beggar's Bush and uncover The Bath Pub. This lovely location is so dog-friendly that it lets pooches sit on the banquets to keep you company as you sip your pint, cocktail or glass of wine. As for food? Get your smackers around brunches and freshly prepared pizzas.
