The Boyd Arms is a compact traditional pub in the heart of Ballycastle, right on the Diamond in the centre of town. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle in at the table with your pint while they supervise proceedings from underneath.
It's open daily from 11am until midnight, useful if you're arriving early or staying out late. The central location makes it a natural stop when you're exploring Ballycastle with the dog and need somewhere warm and welcoming to pause.
If you're after a proper local bar with no fuss and a door that opens for dogs, this fits the bill. It's the sort of pub where wet paws and a tangled lead won't raise an eyebrow and everyone can stay on the right side of the door.
Good to know:
Water bowls available
Free treats available
Doggy menu available
Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle in under the table while the round is sorted. That keeps the whole group on the right side of the door.
