The Central Bar

The Central Bar is a relaxed town-centre pub on Ann Street in Ballycastle, serving food and drinks in a setting where dogs are welcome inside. You can settle in with your pint while your table supervisor claims the spot under your chair and the kitchen runs its Griddle & Smoke menu from Tuesday to Sunday.

Food service runs Tuesday to Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons, so there's plenty of scope for a proper meal with the dog still on duty beside you. The pub opens Wednesday to Sunday, with later hours at weekends, making it an easy drop-in during a Ballycastle visit.

It's the kind of spot where you don't have to choose between feeding yourself and keeping the dog with you—both jobs get done in the same room. The Ann Street location keeps things simple for a quick stop or a longer stay.
