1 / 8Old Grey Mare
York
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A grade 2 listed coaching inn in Clifton, York, with rooms above a Brew York bar that loves dogs and pours from 18 taps.
The Old Grey Mare is a grade 2 listed historic coaching inn in the heart of Clifton, York, and part of the Brew York family, so the beer comes first: 18 lines of fresh craft beer pour in the bar below the rooms. It is refreshingly direct as a dog friendly inn, asking you to bring your dog along because the team loves dogs.
Only some of the rooms are pet friendly, since not everyone is a dog lover, so check availability with the inn before you travel. The rooms are stylish, with en-suite bathrooms, TVs and hot drink facilities, and they sit right above the bar, a handy base for exploring York with your dog. The inn's pages do not say how many can come per booking, so ask about numbers too.
The bar is where dogs are wanted, and the food comes from YUZU Street Food: bold, flavour-packed Asian cooking on an ever-changing menu of dishes such as Katsu Curry, Bao buns, Wings and Ramen. The inn doesn't mention where you can eat with a dog, so ask the team before you order. Many of the beers are gluten-free or vegan, and there is cider and wine too.
Behind the bar are 12 keg and 6 cask lines of pale ales, stouts, blondes, sours and IPAs, with Coney and Loris, a 0.5% hazy pale for a lighter pint, the two the brewery points to, plus speciality cocktails and curated wines. The dog's riverside stretch is York Riverside: Millennium Bridge and Rowntree Park, 0.9 miles away on Wildpack's map.
