The Original Gastropub, Dogs Welcome
The Eagle on Farringdon Road is widely credited as London's first gastropub, having pioneered the concept of serious food in a pub setting back in the early 1990s. It is a dog-friendly pub that has maintained its no-booking, come-as-you-are attitude through decades of imitators, and dogs are part of the casual, unpretentious atmosphere. For dog owners who care about food history, The Eagle is a pilgrimage.
