16 dog friendly venues in Liverpool you need to try

Liverpool is a brilliant place to eat out with the family, and we do mean the whole family – four-legged members definitely included!

Lots of our restaurants, coffee shops and bars are dog friendly in Liverpool so you’re always welcome to bring your pet pals along when you go for a meal or a drink.

And, because so many venues now have al fresco space, they’ll have plenty of room outdoors to stretch their paws while you relax and have a good time.

Here are 16 dog friendly places to eat out and have a drink in Liverpool city centre …

Hardware Coffee + Kitchen

Where the old Rapid used to be, Hardware isn’t just one of Liverpool’s top brunch and coffee spots, it’s one of its most dog friendly too. Bring your four-legged bestie and while you demolish a full English, they can get puppaccinos and gravy bone treats!

The Quarter

On the Toxteth Riviera, you can grab an outdoor table in one of the most gorgeous spots in the city and know your pup will be comfy by the table while you tuck into pizzas and pastas and some of their amazing cakes, preferably with a nice cold spritz.

Brasco Lounge

Another one with lovely outdoor space and a fabulous view is Brasco Lounge at Mann Island where canine chums are more than welcome for all-day dining and refreshments, just remember to keep them on a lead, not on laps, and no paws on the furniture!

Madre

Inside the great little sun trap that is Anchor Courtyard in the Albert Dock, Mexican specialist Madre is known as one of the finest taco makers around – it’s also got the best margs to wash them down and it’s dog friendly inside and out for the triple win.

Café Tabac

Everything about Tabac on Bold Street is laidback, good vibes and that includes the approach to four-legged guests. Homemade food is delicious – Rita’s breakfasts are the stuff of legend – and staff are really friendly so your doggo is likely in for a fuss.

It was named Best Vegan Friendly Restaurant in the British Restaurant Awards thanks to super-tasty meat-free burgers and loaded fries (plus Woo Tan Scram chippy teas), and downstairs on Duke Street dogs fit right in with the relaxed feel.

Buyers Club

There are loads of outside tables at Buyers Club in Hardman Yard, so if you’re taking your furry mate along one of those is your top option – dogs are welcome, just factor in it’s an open kitchen so best grab a bench seat in the garden or one at the bar.

Bold Street Coffee

We’re yet to meet a furry friend who was crazy about oat milk latte (they’re all in Shoreditch) but that doesn’t mean they won’t love a trip to Bold Street Coffee – order yours then keep scanning down the drinks menu and you’ll spot puppacinos for your pup.

Mowgli

Indian street food restaurant Mowgli is definitely-dog friendly and in Liverpool you’ve got two to choose from, Water Street and Bold Street. Owner and founder Nisha Katona says: “It matters to me that you can bring your whole family to our home from home and not have to rush back.” Mowgli is built according to the things that matter to me – family in all its forms and food.”

Duke Street Market

It’s home to six kitchens serving everything from Latin American and Mexican cuisine to Asian bowl food and steaks from morning till late at Duke Street. And, not only do they allow our canine friends, they say ‘they’re always welcome – you can ask a member of the team for dog bowls and treats’!

They’ve got food and drink, great games and a fab roof garden to get all your glorious views of the city – and PINS says they’re pro anything ‘pupper’. Well-behaved hounds are more than welcome with ‘complimentary water bowls and tummy rubs available at the bar’.

Lunya and Lunyalita

The Catalan-inspired deli, bar and restaurants in their respective Hanover Street and The Royal Albert Dock homes offer the most amazing tapas, meats and cheeses to take you right back to that holiday vibe. But while you might not have been able to jet away with your pooch, you can take them here.

Peaberry Coffee House & Kitchen

It’s just as well the Albert Dock coffee house and kitchen is dog-friendly because the smell of those delicious breakfasts and brunch and lunch dishes would have them following their noses inside anyway. The restaurant is family-friendly – and that includes four-legged members of your crew.

More info here.

Nova Scotia

The independent bar and eatery at Mann Island’s the ideal place to grab breakfast or lunch or an evening cocktail while soaking up views of Liverpool’s waterfront. Dogs are always welcome, and at Nova’s Doggy Brunch every second Saturday of the month, it’ll cost you £10 per person, but Fido and Freda can eat free.

More info here.

Moose Coffee

You’ll find it hard to beat Moose for its authentic North American menu of dishes like potato hash, waffles and, of course, those buttermilk pancakes. They love dogs at Hope Street or Dale Street Moose venues, but suggest calling ahead to make sure there’s a dog-friendly zone free.

Botanist

Famous for its hanging kebabs, Sunday lunches and botanical cocktails, the Botanist is a great place to go for a meal with your family, or drinks with your mates, and Botanist is happy to welcome your furry friends too at either of its Liverpool ONE or Albert Dock venues. They may even get a treat!
