Wally Dug

Wally Dug is an easygoing New Town pub where dogs are welcome inside. Located in Edinburgh's central area, it's a traditional boozer with a friendly local feel and genuine dog credentials—expect a water bowl as standard when you arrive with your dog. This is proper neighbourhood pub territory: no fussy menus, just solid pub hospitality and a warm reception for dogs and their owners.

It's handily placed if you're walking through the New Town or heading down from Princes Street, making it a sensible rest stop before or after a longer circuit. Best suited to dogs who are comfortable in a bustling indoor space.

The straightforward pub setup and busy vibe means it's ideal if you want to keep your dog close beside you rather than leave them outside. Water is provided and it's the kind of place where everyone's relaxed about dogs tagging along.
