Ye Olde John O'Gaunt is a dog-friendly historic pub tucked near Market Street in Lancaster city centre and dogs are welcome inside. The compact interior has a cosy, traditional feel, with live music adding to the atmosphere on many evenings.

It's a proper locals' pub that also draws visitors exploring Lancaster's heart, making it useful for a quick pint break between the station and the shopping streets. The dog-friendly reputation is backed by CAMRA and regular review mentions, so you can bring your dog in without fuss.

There's no on-site parking, but the central location means it's easy to reach on foot or by public transport. If you're doing the Lancaster rounds with the dog and need somewhere welcoming to pause, this historic pub fits the bill without pretence or fuss.
