The Castle is a pub and kitchen right by Nottingham Castle in the heart of the old town, serving drinks and meals in a setting built for visitors exploring the city centre. Dogs are welcome inside, so the whole group can settle in together whether you're stopping for a pint or staying for food.
The pub serves a full menu alongside its bar and with indoor dining open to dogs there's no need to leave anyone outside while you eat. It's the sort of central, unfussy stop that works when you've been wandering the castle grounds and everyone—leads, paws and humans—needs a break.
Open seven days a week, with hours running until 10:30pm on Mondays and Sundays, 11pm Tuesday to Thursday and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. The location makes it a practical choice for dog owners visiting Nottingham's tourist core and the dog-friendly policy means you can plan your day without worrying about access.

Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside the pub, so you can enjoy drinks and food together. Indoor dining is open to dogs, making it easy to settle in for a proper meal rather than just a quick pint.
