The Greyhound

The Greyhound in Louth is a lively, modern-feeling pub for food, drinks, and that "we're actually going out-out" energy, minus any fuss. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle while the rest of the group settles in. Think proper bar-and-restaurant atmosphere, cocktails when you're feeling fancy, and menus that suit both relaxed lunches and evening plans.

It's the kind of spot where you can land after a walk, shake off the weather, and settle into the warm glow of someone else cooking. Expect a good buzz, friendly service, and plenty of reasons to stay longer than intended. Bar food is served daily from noon to 9pm, with the upstairs restaurant open Wednesday to Saturday evenings and Sunday lunchtimes and evenings.

Your dog will arrive looking windswept and heroic, then immediately attempt to become best friends with the nearest table, purely for networking opportunities (and potentially stray chips).
