WITH the warmer weather firmly in the rearview, beer gardens have officially been retired for the year. 

But what does that mean for those of us who enjoy taking our furry friends with us when we visit the pub?

To help our readers, we've compiled a list of some of the best dog-friendly pubs and bars in West Fife using Google, Tripadvisor and some good old local knowledge. 

Did we miss any? Let us know by emailing editorial@dunfermlinepress.co.uk

The Dugg House, Dunfermline

The Dugg House is a great pub for pups to take in the sights. (Image: Supplied)Formerly known as Monty's, the Dugg House on Guildhall Street is a great pub with friendly staff. At night it offers different events and live music, but it's a great daytime option if you're in the city centre and looking to share a drink with man's best friend. 

The Yeoman, Townhill

 

The bar has an outside beer garden but also allows our four-legged friends inside. (Image: The Yeoman) This Townhill Road bar is a great place for a pint and a chat with the locals, but did you know they also allow well-behaved dogs inside?
