The Winking Owl is a craft ale pub and bar in the heart of Aviemore, where dogs are welcome inside the restaurant and bar alongside their people. It's a proper all-day stop for visitors exploring the town centre, serving food and drinks in relaxed surroundings.
The pub opens daily from midday, running through to 11pm Sunday to Thursday and 1am on Friday and Saturday. Dogs can settle in at the table while you work your way through the craft ale list or tuck into a meal, so nobody has to draw the short straw and sit outside.
Ideal for Grampian Road visitors and anyone spending the day in central Aviemore, The Winking Owl keeps the whole group together without the usual pavement negotiations. Whether you're warming up after a walk or breaking up a drive through the Cairngorms, it's the kind of place that makes dog-friendly travel feel straightforward.
