The Scruffy Dog in Sutton in Ashfield

Ah, The Scruffy Dog – it's one of those pubs that just warms you up from the moment you step inside. I've heard from folks who've been there that the beer selection is spot on, with real ales and craft options that rotate regularly, so you're always in for a treat if you're a beer lover like me. The staff are absolute gems, always up for a chat and making everyone feel right at home. It's brilliantly dog-friendly too, which is lovely if you're popping in with your pup, and they've got some tasty pizzas that hit the spot without costing a fortune. On the downside, it's only open four days a week, so you might have to check the schedule before heading out, as it can be a bit unpredictable. And while the relaxed vibe is great, a few have mentioned that dogs off leads aren't always managed perfectly, which could be a minor nuisance for some. All in all, it's a solid choice for a laid-back evening with mates, as long as you time it right – definitely worth a visit for the good vibes and cracking drinks!
