PUG CAFE™ IS COMING BACK TO BRISTOL!
The adorable Pug Cafe is heading to Bristol once again… and this time we're taking over Slug and Lettuce in the city centre for an afternoon of waggy curly tails, Pug smiles and seriously cute vibes.
This indoor bar with a huge enclosed Summer terrace is the perfect backdrop for a doggy takeover. Think delicious food, coffee, spritzes on sunshine on the terrace (we’re manifesting it), and a space full of happy off-lead pugs!
As seen on Dragons’ Den, POP+BARK are famous for their dog socials around the country. Whether you’re a proud Pug owner or just completely obsessed, you can expect the happiest day ever. Puggy cuddles, good energy, and a camera roll you won’t recover from.
🎟️ Tickets will sell quickly, so we always advise booking early to avoid disappointment.
THE CUTEST PUG GATHERING, EVER.
Pug Cafe is a one-of-a-kind event where Pugs, their humans and dog lovers come together for the ultimate off-lead social.
Think waggy tails, playful chaos and a whole lot of Pug energy. Just like birds of a feather flock together, Pugs absolutely thrive around their own kind so this is their perfect day out.

For the humans, it’s your chance to treat your dog, soak up the atmosphere, meet like-minded people and just sit back and enjoy the happiest day ever.
