The Lion & Snake

The Lion & Snake is a Bailgate pub in Lincoln where dogs are welcome inside in the bar area. It's well placed for uphill sightseeing and a proper food-and-drinks stop when the pavement café wait isn't an option.

The kitchen serves food Monday to Saturday from noon until 9pm and Sunday noon to 8pm, all available in the dog-friendly bar. The pub is open from 11am most days, until 11pm Sunday to Thursday and midnight Friday and Saturday, so there's room for an early lunch or a later pint.

Dogs can settle in at your table while you eat, which means no lead-juggling outside or wondering whether the water bowl is worth the separation. It's a straightforward Bailgate choice when you need food, a drink and the dog indoors with you.
