Crafty Local Ale House

Crafty Local Ale House is a micropub in Skegness with a very clear brief: real ales, real ciders and proper local-drinks enthusiasm. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement shuffle while someone else enjoys the Good Beer Guide 2025 and 2026 selection. This is the kind of place where the focus is firmly on what's in the glass, with a cosy independent feel and plenty of appeal for people who like discovering somewhere with personality.

The three cask ales rotate every week, so there's always something new to discover, and the real still ciders are handpicked alongside the ales. Lincolnshire breweries and local producers feature strongly, with the occasional guest from further afield. Expect real ale appreciation, local-drinks knowledge and a relaxed atmosphere that suits slower pints rather than generic big-brand pub energy.

A good fit for those stops that feel a bit more characterful, with dogs settling in like they have strong views on cask selection. Open every day from noon — cosy, independent and welcoming to paws and pint-lovers alike.
