The Vine Hotel

A Traditional Seaside Pub Near the Beach

The Vine Hotel is a traditional seaside pub just off the Skegness seafront, and it has been welcoming visitors - and their dogs - since Victorian times. This is a pub that understands the needs of dog owners visiting the coast, from towels for sandy paws to water bowls placed at strategic points throughout the bar and garden.

Inside, The Vine Hotel maintains its classic charm with a comfortable, well-worn interior that feels like a proper seaside pub should. The bar area is spacious enough for wet dogs and sandy boots, with practical flooring and a roaring fire that becomes the focal point during colder months. There is something particularly satisfying about settling into a warm pub with a tired, happy dog after a blustery walk along Skegness beach.

Seafood, Pub Classics and Cold Pints

The kitchen reflects the pub's seaside location, with fresh fish and chips, scampi, and seasonal seafood specials sitting alongside traditional pub favourites such as pies, burgers, and hearty stews. Sunday roasts are well attended, and the portions throughout are generous. The bar serves a solid selection of cask ales, lagers, wines, and spirits, with prices that remain sensible for a seaside venue.

Beer Garden and Beach Access

The spacious beer garden is one of The Vine Hotel's strongest assets. Enclosed and safe for dogs, it offers plenty of room to spread out on sunny days, and many dog owners make it their regular post-beach stop during summer. The pub is just a short walk from the seafront, making it perfectly placed for combining a beach walk with lunch or an afternoon drink. Skegness beach is dog-friendly year-round, though seasonal restrictions may apply to some sections during peak summer.
