The Rum & Crab Shack is a rustic-chic café in St Ives, specialising in local seafood and tasty drinks. Dogs are welcome inside the cosy bar area, so nobody needs to do the pavement shuffle while someone else eats.

The venue operates on a walk-in-only basis, so arriving early is wise to avoid disappointment. The inviting atmosphere and hearty menu make it perfect for a casual meal or a drink, with well-behaved pups allowed on leads throughout the bar area.

The shack offers a wonderfully relaxed setting where the joys of dining and dog ownership blend seamlessly together. It's an excellent spot for keeping paws and people together in the laid-back seaside vibe, whatever the weather.

Good to know:

Water bowls available

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside the bar area and should stay on leads. Great news for dogs who enjoy a good snooze while their humans dine!
