Curly Coo Bar

Curly Coo Bar is a compact whisky bar on Barnton Street in Stirling city centre and dogs are welcome inside.

It's a relaxed spot to bring your pup for a quick dram or a longer drink while exploring the town's core streets and the focus here is on Scotland's favourite spirit with a well-curated selection behind the bar. Food is served, so you can settle in for a proper meal with your table supervisor still on duty. The venue opens Monday to Thursday 4pm to midnight, Friday and Saturday 4pm to 1am and Sunday 5.30pm to midnight, making it a useful late-afternoon or evening stop when you need somewhere dog-friendly and central.

It's the kind of easy, unpretentious city-centre bar that works well when you want a whisky and your dog wants to be with you, without any fuss or fanfare.
