England
Leeds pairs riverside pubs with a busy independent cafe scene, most of it happy to see a dog.
A local starting point
For a compact Leeds day out, start around Granary Wharf and Holbeck, where waterside walks meet pubs and brewery taprooms. Kirkgate offers a more central brunch stop. The shortlist below spans these distinct parts of the city rather than treating every Leeds venue as interchangeable.
01 / Holbeck
Brewery taproom
Northern Monk lists its Leeds taproom and beer garden as dog-friendly. It’s a brewery-led stop in Holbeck; check current opening hours and food service before setting off.
The Old Flax Store, Marshall Street, Leeds, LS11 9YJ02 / Granary Wharf
Pub
The Hop welcomes dogs on a lead at all times and asks owners to keep them off the furniture. Its Granary Wharf location makes it a natural stop for a city-centre waterside outing.
Dark Neville Street, Leeds, LS1 4BR03 / Kirkgate
Café and bar
This Yorkshire-themed café and bar is listed as dog-friendly on its restaurant booking profile. Check directly about dog-friendly tables when planning brunch or an evening visit.
92 Kirkgate, Leeds, LS2 7DJSources checked 16 September 2026. Dog policies can change; confirm with the venue before travelling. Recommendations aren't a guarantee of admission.
Take a lead walk around Granary Wharf before visiting The Hop, or continue into Holbeck for Northern Monk. Keep dogs close around the canal edge and remember that the links between these areas include city streets.
Roundhay Park is a separate trip from the city-centre shortlist, not a quick walk between café stops. Choose a route that suits your dog, follow local signs and keep clear of wildlife around the lakes. Head back into Leeds for a meal afterwards.
Northern Monk’s Leeds Refectory and beer garden are advertised as dog-friendly. Check opening times and any event-specific arrangements with the taproom before visiting.
The Hop welcomes dogs provided they stay on a lead and off the furniture. Bring a mat if your dog prefers somewhere familiar to settle.
Yes, as separate parts of a day out with travel between them. Allow time for the journey and a rest, rather than treating Roundhay as part of the compact Granary Wharf and Holbeck walk.
Check the venue’s current dog policy before travelling, including indoor access and any booking requirements.
