The Side by Side

The Side by Side in Cleethorpes is an independent, family-run cocktail bar and food spot where dogs are welcome inside. This isn't one of those "only if you sit outside and hope the weather behaves" situations—everyone can settle in together, which makes it a proper wet-weather option as much as a date-night or catch-up destination.

The cocktail menu is a real standout, built from years of experience and plenty of behind-the-scenes tweaking. Expect classics done properly, creative twists, and signature drinks that bring a bit of theatre to the table. Food has grown alongside it too, evolving from stone-baked pizzas into a broader menu of high-quality plates and snacks. Inside, it's stylish but still welcoming, with a polished bar feel that doesn't lose its warmth.

For dogs, there are water bowls and complimentary pup cups available. Some regulars even order from the kids' menu for their dogs, with The Side by Side offering this at a discounted price—exactly the kind of detail dog owners remember. It's got that "just one more round" energy, and the dog will quietly hope this becomes a regular arrangement.
