That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

8 Aug 2026

The Shovels in Blackpool is a traditional-style pub where dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement shuffle while the rest of the group settles in. It balances the feel of a local with the space and menu of a larger pub, making it a reliable all-rounder for a relaxed drink or meal.

The pub offers classic pub food and a wide drinks selection in a comfortable, family-friendly environment. It's the kind of place that works for a quick pint after a wander or a longer stop when the weather turns.

Dogs can join you inside on a lead, which means paws and people stay together whether you're here for food, drinks or just a warm corner and a bit of coastal refuge.

Good to know:

Water bowls available

Free treats available

Doggy menu available

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside on a lead, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle. Keep barking to a minimum so everyone can relax.
