About This Pub
Ah, MaltDog Monton – it's one of those pubs that just sticks in your mind after a visit, isn't it? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, it's got this lovely, homely feel that draws you in, with a real sense of community where you can chat away with interesting folks over a well-poured drink. The staff are an absolute delight, always up for a laugh and making sure everything runs smoothly, which really adds to the charm. If you're a dog enthusiast, it's brilliant – you'll likely spot a few furry friends adding to the fun, and it's clear it's a favourite for that reason. The drink selection is spot on too, with plenty of local beers and other options that cater to all tastes, plus events like quiz nights that keep things lively without being overwhelming. On the flip side, the hours can look a bit confusing at first glance, so you might want to give them a ring before heading out, and it's a shame there's no website for quick checks. All in all, it's a solid spot for a catch-up with mates, offering that perfect balance of relaxation and enjoyment, though it might not suit everyone if you're after something more upscale or less dog-centric. Give it a go if you're in the area – you might just find your new go-to haunt!

Always love coming here, always has a great atmosphere, interesting people, friendly staff, and usually a dog or two. Favourite pub in Monton.
Honestly one of the most quaint bars you can go and if you have a dog or love dogs. One of the best dog friendly bars I have been. Thank you for the great times. I took my dad here as it was our fav. Just before he passed.
Brilliant pub with a proper sense of community, Lucy and the staff are always really welcoming with great service, food and feel good atmosphere
Had yet another great evening tonight at a quiz night. Lucy was a great host and the beers are always on point. Highly recommend if in the area.
My favourite place to go for a drink in Monton. Really good selection of beer including from local breweries, and available in 2/3rds. I only tend to drink beer here but they also have wine, fizz and a good range of whisky and gin and I love an aperol here in the summer!
Dan is doing an awesome job, always makes you feel so welcome even if you’ve never been in before you will feel like you’ve been going for years. The staff are great friendly and willing to chat about the beer and recommend if you’re not sure what to have. Open mic every fortnight is ace and we’ve been to a gin tasting event which was great fun.
Sometimes downstairs gets busy but there’s plenty more space upstairs and a small outdoor seating area in front.
Dog friendly too!
