Dog & Gun

Dog & Gun is a dog-friendly pub in central Keswick, with dogs welcome inside in designated dog-friendly pub and bar areas. On Lake Road and about 0.2 miles from the town centre, it is a handy stop for anyone staying in town or heading out for a walk towards Derwentwater.

This is the sort of pub that makes sense when the weather is behaving like the Lake District and sitting outside has stopped being a clever idea. Its central spot also makes it useful after a wander around Keswick, Hope Park or the nearby streets, especially when the dog has done a full inspection of every interesting smell on the way.

Dogs need to stay on leads inside and outside. Water bowls are available, which is always helpful when a dog suddenly develops theatrical thirst the moment a human sits down. There is no on-site parking stated, so town-centre parking is the practical option.
