The Black Lion

The Black Lion is a dog-friendly pub just over a mile from the heart of Aberystwyth, welcoming dogs inside so the whole group can settle in together. It's a practical spot for anyone whose evening plans revolve around keeping the dog on the right side of the door while you relax. Open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 5pm until 11pm, Friday and Saturday from 4pm until late and Sunday from 4pm until 10pm.

Closed Wednesdays. The reliable opening hours make it easier to plan a proper visit rather than turning up hopefully. That straightforward indoor welcome turns the stop into a genuine breather for dogs and humans together.

Dogs welcome inside, which means you can claim a seat without juggling outside arrangements. It's the kind of straightforward dog-friendly welcome that removes the stress from a perfectly ordinary pub visit. That simple inclusion is especially useful when the weather turns or the day needs a proper sit-down pause.
