Carrick-A-Rede

Carrick-A-Rede Bar and Restaurant is a dog-friendly pub in Ballycastle where dogs are welcome inside the bar and dining areas. Food is served daily until 8pm, so you and your table supervisor can settle in for a proper meal together without the usual separation anxiety.

The pub opens at noon every day and stays open until 1am, making it a useful pit stop whether you're visiting the famous rope bridge nearby or exploring the North Antrim coast. The kitchen serves dinner throughout the week and dogs can stay with you while you eat.

It's around five miles from Ballycastle town centre, so worth knowing about if you're touring the coastal route with your dog. The pub fits neatly into a day out along this stretch of coast and you won't need to leave anyone outside while you refuel.
