The Black Bull

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.
