The Red Lion Bishopgate is a central Norwich pub on Bishopgate, just a short walk from the riverside and cathedral quarter. Dogs are welcome inside throughout the bar areas where food is served, though not in the conservatory. Expect indoor table seating, a friendly welcome and a proper pub atmosphere for visitors exploring the city centre with their dog.
The kitchen runs Monday to Thursday 12–8pm, Friday and Saturday 12–9pm and Sunday 12.30–7pm, so there's plenty of opportunity to settle in for lunch or an early dinner with your dog beside you. The pub opens from 11am most weekdays, 10am at weekends, making it handy for a mid-morning pint or a post-walk refuel.
It's a straightforward riverside stop for dog owners visiting Norwich, useful for breaking up a day's exploring or pausing between walks along the river. The location puts you close to the heart of the city without the need to leave your dog outside.
