The Johnson Arms

The Johnson Arms is a neighbourhood pub in Dunkirk, Nottingham, where dogs are welcome inside – including the bar area – as well as outside. It's the kind of local where you can settle in for a drink and let the gang relax after a university-side stroll or trip to QMC.

The pub serves food Wednesday to Friday evenings, with the kitchen running from 4pm to 8pm midweek and 5pm to 8pm Thursday and Friday. Weekend kitchen hours are limited, so the focus shifts to drinks and company – ideal if you're after a low-key stop rather than a full meal out.

Open from mid-afternoon Monday to Thursday, lunchtime Friday and Saturday and Sunday afternoon into the evening, The Johnson Arms fits neatly into the rhythm of a dog day in this corner of Nottingham. Indoor dog access and straightforward pub hospitality make it a useful pin on the map.
