Beer & Bird

Beer & Bird is a harbour-edge bar and grill in the heart of St Ives and dogs are welcome inside at the bar seating. It's the kind of central, sociable spot where you can settle in for a pint and a bite while your dog keeps an eye on proceedings from the floor.

Food is served Tuesday to Saturday evenings, so the whole group can eat together without leaving anyone outside. The atmosphere leans busy and social, with drinkers and diners mixing freely and the harbour just outside.

Open daily from 5pm to 10pm, it's a useful late-afternoon and evening stop when you want somewhere dog-friendly, harbour-close and geared as much to a drink as a full meal. Bar seating means leads stay manageable and the dog stays part of the evening.
