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

Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

8 Aug 2026

The Black Bull is a strong Ripon pub option for dog owners who want somewhere central, easy-going and properly welcoming. This city-centre bar is family and dog friendly, with traditional pub grub and Sky Sports, which makes it a handy all-rounder for visitors who want a casual meal or drink without any fuss.

It works especially well after town wandering when the dog has been patient, the humans are hungry, and everyone is ready for that lovely indoor pause where coats come off and the lead finally goes slack.

For visitors with dogs, it has the kind of straightforward, relaxed appeal that makes life easy. Think classic pub comfort, a friendly welcome and a dog settling in as if they have already chosen the corner table.

Good to know:

Water bowls available

Free treats available

Doggy menu available

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside. Keep them close, settled and nicely under control, then enjoy a proper pub stop without anyone turning the floor into a zoomies circuit.
