One of Glasgow's best dog-friendly pubs, Curler's Rest has an open door policy when it comes to your poochy pal. Make a day of it and go for a walk around the botanic gardens, then venture over to this cosy corner of Hillhead for a well-deserved beer.
Bar 91 has been a part of Glasgow's drinks scene for over two decades and welcomes pooches with open arms. Head there to enjoy retro jazz tunes, delicious locally sourced food and top tipples.

Committee Room No.9 is a local favourite, boasting epic sports screenings, regular live music sessions and a whole range of scrumptious refreshments. It's also one of the best dog-friendly pubs in Glasgow Merchant City, where head scratches and cuddles await them.
Grosvenor Cafe knows that a trip out of the house just isn't worth it when your puppy pal isn't with you. That's why they allow dogs on the balcony and bar area (although not the restaurant). Crack on with a tasty bev or two alongside your best friend at this trendy watering hole, or nab delicious dishes like triple decker club sandwiches, hand-stretched prosciutto pizzas or a gourmet burger with handmade pickles.
For affordable eats, refreshing pints and one helluva beer garden, it has to be Ark. But did you know that this joint is also barking mad about pups? Bring yours along with you and they'll be treated like a part of the family, with water bowls and the occasional snackaroo.
Mowgli is the beautiful dining destination that's a hit with pups just as much as their owners. While surrounded by indoor trees and fairy lights (with your best friend by your side), dive into lip-smacking Indian eats, from tiffin boxes to flavoursome curries.

Not only do they serve the largest selection of draught beer in Scotland, but you'll also find a rotating range of cans and bottles from local breweries and beyond.
The building itself is a former bank, and the interiors feature industrial-style furniture and quirky art on the walls. They also cook up delicious pizzas in their huge oven, topped with everything from haggis to balsamic onion and spinach.

The team over at The Ben Nevis are serious pooch-lovers, so much so that they even have their own 'Dogs of the Ben' calendar. It's an ideal spot for a pup who's into his whiskies, live sessions and fireside banter - owners are welcome too, as long as they're well-behaved, of course.
Named after The Dude, one of the coolest fictional characters in history, Lebowski's is obviously going to be dog-friendly. Where better to chill with man's best friend than at an Argyle Street bar that has a dedication to white Russians and towering burgers?
