The Grapevine Champagne & Jazz Bar

The Grapevine is a Champagne and jazz bar in the centre of Rye where dogs are welcome inside. It's the kind of place that solves the evening-drinks question when you're out with the dog and nobody wants to split up or stand outside in the cold. The bar serves Champagne, cocktails and live jazz in a relaxed indoor setting.

Dogs can settle in alongside you at the table, so the whole group gets to enjoy the music without the usual door negotiations. Opening hours are Monday to Thursday 6pm to midnight and Friday to Sunday from noon until 1am.

You'll find it just off Rye's main streets, close enough to wander in after dinner or between exploring the town. It's a straightforward option when you want a drink, some atmosphere and a bar that doesn't make you choose between the dog and the evening.
