BrewDog’s new hotel is throwing a huge dog party with doggy ice cream and beer
The ‘Dog Pawty’ will make for the perfect day out for you and your four-legged friend
Have you ever been at a party and couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing? Something with four legs, fur and an abundance of love to give away?
Yes, I’m talking about your dog. While parties are all good and well, it’s a sad reality that most venues won’t allow our pooches to join in with the fun.
But fear not, because the Doghouse Hotel here in Manchester has come to the rescue.
Located just a stone’s throw from the Northern Quarter, the Doghouse Manchester boasts eighteen rooms adorned with bespoke BrewDog touches, such as in-shower beer fridges, a draft beer tap and a fully-loaded mini-bar plus, for both guests and members of the public, an epic taproom and rooftop bar with thirty taps of craft beer on offer – because it wouldn’t be a real BrewDog hotel otherwise, would it?
Since it’s opening back in August, the hotel has proved to be a roaring success for both hotel guests and punters alike, who have all enjoyed its extensive beer selection and tasty brunch menu, with includes a classic full English, fried chicken and waffles, loaded waffle fries and even avocado and sourdough with poached eggs.
And now, it’s staying loyal to its namesake with the launch of its unique one-of-a-kind ‘Dog Pawty’, a party exclusively for you and your dogs.
There’s a ton of exciting and fun activities perfect for you and your pooch to enjoy, including Brewski dog biscuits, doggy ice cream and beer, pet portraits by a local photographer and even a doggy talent show where you can showcase your pooches talents.
The Doghouse Hotel has also teamed up with Brewski and The Street Paws Charity to offer an array of fun prizes and dog-friendly events throughout the party.
Fancy it?
The first ever ‘Dog Pawty’ will be happening this weekend on Sunday, October 17th, from 12pm-5pm and is completely FREE to attend, though bookings are advised to avoid disappointment. Book your slot here.

The Cube Live adds three exciting new games for the perfect team day out
Everything you need for an incredible day out
Urban Playground has taken things to the next level, revealing three brand new games for thrill-seekers to sink their teeth into.
The Manchester Arndale entertainment venue, which is already home to an impressive array of games, has added even more fun to the line up.
From mini golf to arcade games and loads of food and drink, Urban Playground has everything you need for an incredible day out.
Manchester’s Finest Group
They’ve now added three new games to The Cube Live experience, ahead of the upcoming Christmas party season.
‘Pass’, ‘Exit’ and ‘Locate’ are the three new nail-bitingly tense games, and you’ll recognise them all from TV.
In Pass, two players rapidly weave a foam brick back and forth between free-standing poles, avoiding knocking the poles over as they go – requiring agility and great communication.
Exit sees two players work together manoeuvring a ball out of a maze testing their patience to the max.
Manchester’s Finest Group
Lastly, Locate is a single player game where players must memorise an illuminated white square’s location, before placing a block on it while blindfolded.
They’re all deceptively straightforward, while also fiendishly addictive, and perfect for a team day out.
Get booked in HERE to try the new games for yourself.
