The Old Arcade

The Old Arcade is a city-centre pub in Cardiff where dogs are welcome inside throughout, so the whole group can settle in together without pavement negotiations. You'll find it centrally located near Cardiff Castle, making it a useful stopping point in the heart of the city.

Food is served daily from 11:30am until 9pm and the dog-friendly policy extends across the pub's indoor dining area. Whether you're after lunch, dinner or something in between, your dog can join you at the table while you eat. That simple inclusion is especially useful when the weather turns or the day needs a proper sit-down pause.

The pub is open Monday to Wednesday from midday until 11pm, Thursday to Saturday until midnight and Sunday from midday until 10:30pm. It's straightforward central-city hospitality with a clear dogs-inside policy and no awkward zoning. That straightforward indoor welcome turns the stop into a genuine breather for dogs and humans together.
