Welcoming and popular (especially on weekdays) independent free house pub situated just off the Albert Embankment. Varied and well presented range of food on offer from the open-to-view kitchen spanning lunch and dinner. A house beer Black Dog English Pale Ale along with one to two varying real ales are usually available. Card payments only.

Has become popular in spring 2024 as The Black Dog is the 17th track on The Tortured Poets Department album of the singer Taylor Swift who has reportedly drunk here. The lyrics "And so I watch as you walk - into some bar called The Black Dog - and pierce new holes in my heart" appear in the first verse of the song.
