Dog and Gun Photo

 

The Dog & Gun is a small attractive old traditional pub. Refurbished in December 2007, we have retained our traditional charm with oak beams, flag stone floors and a real log fire.  Very popular with walkers and climbers, you will always feel at home in this friendly public house.  We offer a good selection of beers, lagers and real ales as well as good quality home cooked pub food available 7 days a week.  Yates bitter, a local brew, is a speciality here along with our homemade Hungarian Goulash. The two Guest ales are especially chosen for being unusual. We once served a green beer!  We are the home of Keswick Mountain Rescue.  Many of our visitors leave money in the wall crevices for them which raised almost £2000 in 2002!  Do not forget this pub when visiting Keswick as you would be sure to miss one of the Lake District's finest.

 

When you visit the pub please let the staff know you have seen it on Pub Explorer.
