Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

8 Aug 2026

The Lochy is a traditional pub with food in Caol, just outside Fort William, where dogs are welcome inside. You'll find real ales, a friendly local atmosphere and a kitchen serving lunch and dinner most days, so the whole group can settle in without splitting up.

The menu runs until 9pm Monday to Saturday and 8pm on Sunday, with opening hours stretching to 11pm on weeknights, 1am on Fridays and Saturdays and 10pm on Sundays. It's a straightforward, dog-friendly stop whether you're heading into town or coming back the other way.

Indoor dining is confirmed, which means no pavement duty and no one left outside with the lead while everyone else orders. It's a useful Caol-side option for visitors exploring the west side of Fort William with a dog in tow.

Dog Policy:
