Bartons Yard, The Halston 20 -34 Warwick Road

We can’t write a list of dog friendly places to grab a drink and bite without mentioning our very own Bartons Yard. Our stylish bar, open to residents and non residents, offers beers on tap, cocktails, coffees, cakes, light lunches and afternoon teas. Well behaved dogs are welcome (on lead) and will always be greeted with a fresh bowl of chilled water.
The Howard Arms,
Walkies: Five minutes walk from The Halston
Iconic, grade 2 listed pub and old school boozer, The Howard Arms, was one of the pubs under The State Management scheme started in Carlisle in 1916 as an attempt to curb the locals enthusiasm for drinking! Full of character and charm, this dog friendly local favourite has been serving ales since 1855. Pop in for a pint and a pie or one of their Sunday roast specials.
