Golden Lion Inn

The Golden Lion Inn is a classic Market Place pub in the heart of Richmond, right where the town-centre action is and a short stroll from the castle. Dogs are welcome inside and out, so you can settle in with your pint and your spaniel without the pavement-duty shuffle.

Open Monday to Thursday and Sunday 11am–11pm, Friday and Saturday 11am–midnight, it's a straightforward option for a lunchtime stop or an evening drink when the dog's been dragged around enough for one day. No fuss, no outdoor-only relegation, just a proper pub that lets the whole party through the door.

Richmond's cobbles, the Market Place buzz and the pull of the castle walk are all within lead's reach and the Golden Lion sits exactly where you need it when you want a break and the dog needs a lie-down. Whether you're exploring the town or just passing through, it's a useful base for dog owners who like their Yorkshire welcome warm and their venue access uncomplicated.
