Overview

John Scott’s is a nice dog-friendly pub in Tampere offering a relaxed and comfortable setting both inside and out. Pretty good pub food, well-kept beers, and a spacious terrace. A solid choice for a casual drink or bite—especially if you’re out with your dog.

Atmosphere & Dog-Friendliness

The atmosphere inside has a classic pub feel—warm, welcoming, and laid-back. Outside, the large terrace offers plenty of space and comfort, especially on sunny days. Dogs are welcome both inside and out, making it a reliable stop no matter the weather.

Food

So far, we’ve only tried the wings and chips. The wings were pretty good—crispy and well-flavoured—while the chips were a bit underwhelming. The food menu is broad though, and might be worth exploring further. We have heard that the fish and chips are very good.

Drinks

A solid range of beers at reasonable prices, with a weekday happy hour that adds extra value. Beers have always been fresh and well served. It’s a dependable spot for a casual pint or two.

Summary

John Scott’s is a welcoming, dog-friendly pub in Tampere with good beers, decent pub food, a large terrace, and a relaxed vibe. A great place for a drink with or without your furry companion.
