Looking for a dog-friendly dinner spot in Cork?

Radio host, author, influencer and all-’round adventurer Roz Purcell has scoured Cork, furry sidekick by her side, all to answer the age-old question: where can you go to eat lunch or dinner with your dog that isn’t a windswept park bench or that one café that “technically” allows dogs but makes you sit next to the fire exit?

Roz is here to liberate you and your pup from chilly outdoor dining and frigid stares. She’s found actual indoor dining spots where dogs are not just tolerated but downright welcomed — the dream.

These places don’t just have water bowls and a dusty dog biscuit in the corner. Oh, no. We’re talking cosy Cork spots where your fur baby can lie by your feet and enjoy the warm glow of being invited indoors like the true VIP they are.
