The Strugglers Inn is a traditional real-ale pub on Westgate in Lincoln, tucked close to Lincoln Castle and the historic Cathedral Quarter. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle in together after exploring the city's medieval trails without splitting the group.

The pub serves food throughout the week and keeps late hours, particularly Thursday to Saturday when it stays open past midnight. It's a cosy spot for a proper pint and a meal with your dog under the table and the Castle-side location makes it ideal for visitors breaking up a day of sightseeing.

Open daily from noon, The Strugglers Inn is the kind of place where muddy paws and post-walk thirst are expected. The dog-friendly atmosphere and central tourist position mean you can plan your Lincoln itinerary around both human history and canine comfort.

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside the pub, so the whole group can settle in together after a Castle walk. Food is served throughout the week in the dog-friendly area.
