The Crab is a traditional waterfront pub on South Embankment in Dartmouth, right in the heart of the harbour area. Dogs are welcome inside in the top bar, making it a practical stop for walkers exploring the riverside with their dogs.
The pub sits in a busy visitor spot, useful for anyone combining a harbour wander with a drink and a breather. Dog access is limited to the top bar only, so it's worth checking when you arrive if you're planning to settle in with your pup.
Very limited parking is available nearby on the embankment, so it's best reached on foot from the harbour. The location works well for dogs who've been sniffing their way along the waterfront and need somewhere to pause while you grab a pint.
Good to know:
Water bowls available
Free treats available
Doggy menu available
Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside in the top bar, but access is limited to that area only and not throughout the whole pub.
