As the number of hipster bars and cafés rises in Edinburgh, so too does the number of dog-friendly joints. We've picked out some of the best places to grab a pint and some food when you're out and about with your pooch.
The Basement Bar and Restaurant
An Edinburgh institution where the staff often greet the dogs more enthusiastically than the people in a good way, honest).
The Caley Sample Room
There's a dog menu, complete with dog beer and beef sticks – in case you need any further persuasion, there's decent beer and a laid-back atmosphere too.
The Cambridge Bar
A relaxed atmosphere, comfy couches and a real fire make this a home from home for city pups.
Dreadnought Leith
Legend has it one of the owners slept in the bar overnight with a forgotten pooch – that's a dog-friendly bar and a half.
The Espy
Blankets, bowls and buddies abound as hounds and humans congregate in the back room after a play on the beach.
Sofi's
This homely bar feels like you're sitting in someone's living room, an effect highlighted by the plethora of poochie pals that hang out of an evening.
