We’re wagging our tails with excitement we’ve just been featured in The Newsletter, with a full feature titled “Best Bark’s Ultimate Guide to Dog‑Friendly Belfast City Centre”.
It’s our love letter to Belfast’s vibrant dog‑friendly scene from cosy cafés and stylish pubs to Belfast hotels all welcoming your dog indoors. We couldn’t be prouder.
What They Had to Say
The Newsletter highlights all the places our community has fallen in love with spots that go the extra mile for pups:
- Black Sheep Coffee: praised for its spacious vibe, friendly staff, and water bowls at the ready.
- Bodega Bagels: celebrated for its epic bagels and “chewy, chunky Boulder Cookies,” with pups welcomed inside.
Plus, they shine a light on dog‑friendly pubs like Sunflower, where pups chill by your feet and the community spirit is real.
The guide also covers places to stay like the Fitzwilliam and AC Hotel, which treat dogs like VIP guests – comfy beds, bowls, and staff who love your pup as much as you do.
Why This Matters to Us
At Best Bark, our mission is simple: help dog owners enjoy Belfast together. This feature means more people get to learn about the friendly cafés, pubs, and hotels that don’t just tolerate dogs, they celebrate them.
Recognition from a trusted local source like The Newsletter shows we’re on the right track. We’re proud to represent the city’s thriving dog‑positive scene and support businesses that roll out the welcome mat for pups.
