Pembrokeshire’s not just a dream spot for you – it’s a paradise for your dog too. With stunning beaches, coastal paths, and plenty of fresh air, it’s made for dog-friendly adventures.
After all that running around, you both deserve a rest and luckily, there are plenty of cosy, welcoming pubs that will treat your dog like one of the family.
Here’s our pick of the best dog friendly pubs in Pembrokeshire – tried, tested, and full of wagging tails.
The Golden Lion, Newport
The Golden Lion is a firm favourite with locals and visitors, and dogs get the VIP treatment. Water bowls are always out, there are treats behind the bar, and the staff enjoy giving your four-legged friend a bit of fuss. They even have meals just for dogs! It’s a great choice for a pint (or a plate-the food is excellent) after a walk on the coast or a run on the beach.
The Cove, Tenby
Right in the heart of Tenby, The Cove is super relaxed and ideal after a beach walk. Dogs are more than welcome, and there’s a great choice of tasty food, local beers, and gins to enjoy. It’s a lovely place for couples, families, or friends to sit back, relax, and soak up the seaside atmosphere.
The Royal Oak, Saundersfoot
Just a short walk from the beach, The Royal Oak is a proper seaside pub where dogs are part of the furniture. If you’re a seafood fan, this is the place to be. The local fish dishes come highly recommended and really hit the spot after a long coastal walk.
The Smugglers Bar and Grill, Amroth
This one’s great if you’re with family. The Smugglers has a fun pirate-themed play area for the kids and dogs are welcome inside and out. There’s plenty of space, big plates of tasty pub food, and water bowls ready for thirsty pups.
The Farmers Arms, St Davids
Situated in the UK’s smallest city, The Farmers Arms serves classic pub grub with locally sourced produce. It’s a lovely spot to relax after wandering around St Davids, and dogs are always welcome – whether you’re inside by the fire or outside in the sun.
The Royal Oak, Fishguard
Not to be confused with the one in Saundersfoot, Fishguard’s Royal Oak is another brilliant dog friendly option. Expect hearty pub meals with a few modern twists, a warm atmosphere, and a central location that makes it ideal for a lunch stop during your day out.
Stackpole Inn, Stackpole
Just a stone’s throw from Barafundle Bay, the Stackpole Inn is well-loved for its top-quality food – especially the seafood, which often features on the specials board. With a peaceful beer garden, it’s a gorgeous spot for a lazy summer lunch with your pup by your side.
The Harbour Inn, Solva
Right on the harbour, this pub offers brilliant views and a warm, laid-back atmosphere. Dogs are welcome throughout, and the team often have treats and water bowls ready. It’s a great stop-off after a walk along the coast path.
