Portrush Adelphi

The Portrush Adelphi is a hotel bar in the centre of Portrush where dogs are welcome inside. It also removes the familiar pavement shuffle over who waits outside with the dog while everyone else heads in.

It's a public bar rather than a residents-only space, which makes it a useful stop for visitors whose plans involve keeping everyone together for a drink. The bar is part of the Marine and Lawn hotel group and the dog-friendly policy is clear on the official hotel pages. That means you can call in without worrying whether your arrival will prompt a polite pavement suggestion.

It's a central location in a busy seaside town, so it works as a midday pause or an end-of-walk meeting point.
