Boaters Bar is a lakeside pub on Glebe Road in Bowness-on-Windermere, and dogs are welcome inside throughout the bar and dining areas. It's a popular stop for families, locals and visitors exploring the marina and waterfront, serving craft beer, cocktails and a pizza-led menu.
Food is served daily, with breakfast available from 10am to midday and hot food running through until 8pm or 9pm depending on the day. The bar opens at 10am every day, staying open until 10pm Sunday to Thursday and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
Dog treats from The Barking Bakery are available if your four-footer has earned a reward. The lakeside location makes it a handy refuelling stop after walks around the quay and Glebe Road, and the indoor dog-friendly policy means the whole group can settle in without anyone drawing the short straw for pavement duty.

Water bowls available

Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody has to volunteer for pavement duty — just keep them on a lead and the bar is all yours. Dog treats from The Barking Bakery are available at the bar.
