Ship & Castle

Ship & Castle is a traditional town-centre pub on High Street in Aberystwyth, close to the station and bridge. Dogs are welcome inside throughout opening hours, so whether you're stopping for a quick pint or settling in for longer you'll have them beside you. It's a proper central base when you need one and the sort of spot where leads, wet paws and a well-earned pause all feel perfectly at home.

Food is served inside and your dog can keep you company at the table while you eat. The pub opens from 4pm on Mondays and from 2pm Tuesday to Sunday, staying open until midnight most nights and 1am on Fridays and Saturdays. That later finish makes it handy if you're exploring the town and want somewhere dog-friendly after dark.

CAMRA and WhatPub both flag Ship & Castle as dog-friendly and its central Aberystwyth location makes it useful for walkers coming off the seafront or heading back from the station. It's the kind of pub that works when you need a reliable indoor welcome and a seat that fits the whole group.
