Dog Friendly Pubs and Bars in Brighton

Finding dog-friendly pubs and bars in Brighton is less about searching and more about choosing — there are options everywhere, and plenty of them welcome dogs inside rather than stopping at the door. Between the seafront, the Lanes and the constant drift between places, it’s easy to step in somewhere mid-wander and stay longer than planned.

🍺 Pubs & Bars
The Basketmakers Arms → A proper, characterful pub feel where dogs are welcome inside and the atmosphere leans lively but grounded.
The Evening Star → A well-known, easy-going stop that fits naturally into a wander through town and often ends up being more than just one drink.
The Caxton Arms → A slightly more relaxed, neighbourhood feel that works well when you want something a bit quieter.
The Better Half Pub → A comfortable, modern pub setting that makes it easy to settle in without overthinking it.

Across Brighton, the pattern is clear: indoor access, welcoming attitudes and pubs that treat dogs as part of the scene rather than an exception. Whether you’re dipping in between stops or settling somewhere for the evening, you can walk in, sit down and carry on together.
