The Kemble Brewery Inn

The Kemble Brewery Inn in Cheltenham is the kind of place where the dog settles in and you immediately feel like you've found a proper one. Tucked just off the centre on Fairview Street, this dog-friendly pub leans into classic, traditional charm with well-kept real ales, a solid drinks range, and that unmistakable proper pub energy where conversation carries and nothing feels rushed.

Regular events, live music, and a bit of weekend buzz give it lift without losing its roots. It's not trying to be trendy or polished, it's just doing the basics really, really well. The loyal local crowd and steady hum make it the sort of pub where pints are taken seriously and everyone knows what they're there for.

Dogs are spoilt rotten here. While there isn't a formal doggy menu, four-legged visitors are very much loved, and on Sundays they're often treated to their own little dish of meat from the roast. A proper pub stop, with bonus tail-wagging privileges.
