The Malt Shovel

The Malt Shovel is a traditional pub in Ilkley where dogs are welcome inside, keeping the whole group on the right side of the door. Whether you're stopping by after a walk or settling in for the afternoon, your dog can join you in the bar.

Open Monday to Thursday from midday until 11pm, Friday and Saturday until 11:30pm and Sunday until 10:30pm, there's plenty of scope to fit a visit around the rest of your day. The pub sits around four miles from the centre of Ilkley, useful if you're exploring the wider area.

This is a dog-friendly Yorkshire pub where lead-and-bowl logistics are straightforward and you don't need to leave anyone outside. No fuss, just a proper pub that gets it.
