15 Super dog friendly pubs in Shrewsbury

It’s a little more upmarket than the average pub, but Glouglou wine bar is still a great spot to stop for a quick drink or light bite in a fabulous atmosphere. You can buy a bottle to take home with you too, or sit inside this cosy bar to enjoy a glass with charcuterie and continental nibbles. (That means plenty of cheese for Fido to snuffle!)
