The Albion Inn

The Albion Inn is a small historic pub in the centre of Chester, a few streets from the Roman walls and amphitheatre. Dogs are welcome inside in the bar area, where you can settle in for food and a pint without leaving them outside. The pub opens with split sessions Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 3pm and again from 5pm until 11pm.

Saturday runs noon to 3pm then 6pm to 11pm. It's closed Wednesday and Sunday, so check the day before planning a post-walk stop.

Useful after exploring the walls, Roman gardens or amphitheatre with a dog who's earned a rest. The dog-friendly bar is small, so it suits quieter moments rather than busy weekend afternoons when space fills quickly.
