The Bridge Inn

The Bridge Inn is a traditional canal-side pub at Chirk Bank, just outside Llangollen, where dogs are welcome inside the bar and restaurant areas.

You can settle in together and enjoy the kind of proper local atmosphere that makes a walk-day pub stop feel less like a compromise and more like the plan. Food is served Tuesday to Sunday, with the kitchen open evenings midweek and longer hours at the weekend. The menu runs alongside a well-kept bar, so whether you're stopping for a pint after the towpath or a Saturday lunch with the whole group, your dog can stay on duty under the table.

There's a car park on site, which takes the stress out of canal-side parking and the pub opens daily from midday. That straightforward indoor welcome turns the stop into a genuine breather for dogs and humans together.
