The Old Bridge Inn & Bunkhouse

The Old Bridge Inn sits by the River Spey in Aviemore, a lively riverside pub known for food, live music and all-day appeal. Dogs are welcome inside in the lounge, where meals are served from noon and the atmosphere runs from walkers refuelling at lunch to locals settling in for evening pints.

The pub serves lunch daily except Wednesday and Thursday, with dinner available every evening until half past eight. The menu keeps things straightforward and the lounge makes a practical stop after Spey-side walks or a muddy loop around the Dalfaber area.

Well-socialised dogs are welcome in the lounge throughout opening hours. It's the sort of place where wet paws and tangled leads blend in easily and where the post-walk pint comes with a proper meal if you need one.
