The Meadowpark

The Meadowpark is a dog-friendly pub near Stirling where dogs are welcome inside the bar and restaurant, so the whole group can settle in for food and drinks together.

The kitchen serves throughout the week, making it a handy stop for lunch, dinner or a relaxed meal after a walk around Bridge of Allan. Open Monday to Thursday 8am to 10pm, Friday 8am to midnight, Saturday 9am to midnight and Sunday 9am to 10pm, there's plenty of scope for breakfast, a post-walk pint or late weekend food. On-site parking takes the faff out of arrival when you've got leads, bags and a dog who's keen to get inside.

It's the sort of pub that works for a planned meal or an unplanned pit stop and the fact that your dog can join you at the table rather than waiting outside makes it properly useful for anyone whose day revolves around keeping the dog happy.
