Pug Pubs

Pug Pubs is a local group of dog-friendly pubs in Warwickshire, founded by Matt & Alex Crowther, inspired by a love for pugs (especially their first pug, Henrietta) and a desire for welcoming, hospitable British pubs.
Pug Pubs focus on great food, drinks, unique events, and a warm atmosphere. They are well known for their weekly specials and communal spirit, calling their group a "grumble" of pugs.
The Fat Pug (Leamington Spa): Their first venue, known for being innovative and great for families, great pub food and an extremely friendly atmosphere
The Royal Pug (Leamington Spa): Bang in the centre of Leamington, known for its vibrant atmosphere and later opening times
The Black Pug (Warwick): A charming spot with the biggest beer garden in Warwick and gorgeous proper 16th century pub
The Micro Pug (Leamington Spa) The smallest in the "grumble," with a rich history, canal side garden and unique underground function room and bar
The Lost Pug (Northend): A village pub with modern touches, focusing on cozy nights by the fire, families and in summer the best front garden views around
Pug Pubs are a place for friends, family and well.. just about anyone!
