McCuaig’s Bar

McCuaig's Bar is a dog-friendly pub in Ballycastle where dogs are welcome inside, so the whole group can settle in together without anyone drawing the short straw on pavement duty. It's a straightforward local with a warm welcome for visiting dogs and their owners.

The pub opens daily from 11:30am to 11pm, making it a useful stop for lunch, an afternoon pint or an evening visit after a day exploring the North Coast. You'll find McCuaig's around six miles from Ballycastle town centre, handy if you're staying or touring the wider area.

This is a no-frills, dog-welcome kind of place — the sort where your dog can stretch out at your feet and you can enjoy a drink without fuss. No fancy extras are confirmed, but that indoor access means rainy days and muddy paws don't have to derail your plans.
