Westerton Arms

The Westerton Arms is a friendly pub and restaurant in Bridge of Allan, just a short drive from Stirling and dogs are welcome inside in the bar area. It's the kind of local that works just as well for visitors stopping in with their dog after exploring the area as it is for regulars settling in for the evening.

Food is served throughout the week, with kitchen hours running until 9pm most nights and 9.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays, so there's plenty of scope for a proper meal with your dog supervising from under the table. The pub is open daily from 9am until midnight, making it a useful all-day option whether you're after breakfast, lunch or an evening pint.

Dogs are welcome on leads in the bar, which means you can enjoy your visit together without the awkward who's-staying-in-the-car negotiation. It's a straightforward, genuinely dog-friendly stop that delivers exactly what it promises.
