The Ilkley Tap

The Ilkley Tap is a busy bar and taproom in the centre of Ilkley, serving food and drink in a relaxed walk-in setting. Dogs are welcome inside, meaning you can settle in with your pint and your terrier without splitting the group or hovering outside. The kitchen runs from noon until 9pm most days, with weekend brunch from 10am.

It's the kind of central stop that works after a moorland loop or before an afternoon in town. The dog can supervise the table while you tackle the menu and there's no fuss about wet paws or lead logistics in a proper pub setting.

Open from midday Monday to Thursday and from 10am at weekends, with late closing on Fridays and Saturdays. The Grove location puts you a few minutes from Ilkley's main streets, handy for visitors and locals alike.
