Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

30 Aug 2026

Friends of Ham is a central Ilkley craft beer bar on Wells Road, specialising in independent brews, charcuterie boards and small plates. Dogs are welcome inside both bars, so you can settle in together whether you're browsing the bottle selection or settling in for lunch. The kitchen serves Tuesday to Saturday from 11am to 9pm and Sundays from 11am to 6pm, with the bars staying open later into the evening.

The menu focuses on charcuterie, cheese and thoughtfully put-together small plates designed to share, all served in the same dog-friendly space. The venue opens at 10am Tuesday to Sunday, making it a useful early stop for coffee before the day gets away from you.

Closed Mondays. The intimate atmosphere and strong craft beer offer make it a practical choice when you want proper refreshment without leaving the dog outside.

Dog Policy:
