Two different things get called dog-friendly, and we keep them apart.

Dogs inside means the operator has said dogs are welcome in the building, and we hold the wording that says it.
Outdoor areas means the courtyard, the garden bar or the footpath tables, and not indoors.

Every venue below carries the source we read it in. Anything we could not source is left off, so a place missing from this page is one nobody has put in writing, not one that said no.
