Old Harkers Arms

Old Harkers Arms is a canalside pub in Chester city centre where dogs are welcome inside the bar area. You can settle in for food with your dog at your feet, making it a handy stop whether you're exploring the towpath or killing time near the station.

The pub is part of the Brunning & Price group and serves food throughout the day, with opening hours running from 10:30am weekdays and 10am weekends through to 11pm most nights. Well-behaved dogs are asked to stay on the lead inside.

It's around three-quarters of a mile from the heart of Chester, tucked along the Shropshire Union Canal. The location makes it a natural fit for canal walks or a relaxed pause before heading back into town, especially when you'd rather not split the group.
