Days Out Are For Dogs Too

That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

Slug & Lettuce is a dog-friendly pub and cocktail bar on Old Christchurch Road in central Bournemouth, with dogs welcome inside. That makes it a handy town-centre stop for dog owners who want a drink or bite without being pushed into the great British outdoor seating gamble.
Its central location works well for visitors staying nearby, shopping, or moving between Bournemouth's busier streets. This is more of a lively bar-pub setting than a quiet country inn, so it will suit dogs who can cope with a bit of town-centre bustle and the usual chair-leg lead choreography.
Dogs are welcome Sunday to Friday, and Saturday visits are at the manager's discretion if the venue is too busy. Indoor dog access is noted until 8pm. No dedicated parking or dog extras are confirmed, so the usual water, snacks and sensible planning are worth bringing along.
Good to know:
Water bowls available
Treats available
Doggy Menu available
Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside until 8pm, with regular dog-friendly access Sunday to Friday. Saturdays are at the manager's discretion if the pub is too busy, which is fair enough when the chair legs start multiplying.
