Tessies

Tessies is a family-run seafront pub in Ballycastle where dogs are welcome inside alongside you. It's the kind of relaxed, walk-in spot that works well after a stroll into town or along the front, with live music and an easy-going atmosphere that suits both locals and visitors passing through.

Your dog can settle under the table while you enjoy a drink and unwind. There's no fuss, no fiddly rules—just a straightforward pub welcome for the whole crew, four legs included. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.

It sits handily near the seafront, making it a practical pit stop if you're exploring the town centre or need a breather after a windswept walk. Tessies keeps things simple and that's exactly what makes it useful when plans revolve around the dog.
