The John Bull Inn

The John Bull Inn is a long-running Alnwick pub known for a strong drinks line-up and a traditional feel. It’s a good one for a relaxed evening where you can settle in, take your time, and let the place do the heavy lifting with its character and atmosphere.

Dogs welcome inside, so you can make it a proper outing rather than a quick in-and-out. Expect that comforting “pub that knows what it’s doing” vibe, and the very real risk of accidentally staying longer than planned.
