The Tiny Tavern

The Tiny Tavern in Lincoln is a small-but-mighty micropub where dogs are welcome inside, perfect when you want a cosy drink and your dog wants to be right beside you, ideally within ear-scratch distance. Housed in two Grade II listed 17th-century cottages on the High Street, it's great for low-key meet-ups, a quick pause on a wander, or that cheeky "just one" stop that turns into a proper sit-down because it feels so friendly.

The pub serves six rotating real ales and ciders from across the UK, with the selection changing regularly so there's always something new to try. Open Wednesday to Friday from 3pm and weekends from noon, it's a drinks-only spot with a lovely beer garden at the rear for warmer days. The close, intimate vibe makes it easy to relax, and your dog will love the steady stream of familiar pub sounds: clinks, chatter, and the occasional laugh at something they definitely didn't do.

If your dog is easily excited, bring a chew to keep them settled. If they're a napper, congratulations, you've brought the perfect accessory for a cosy tavern moment. Ring the doorbell on the right to be let in—it adds to the charm.
