While many people may swear off alcohol forever following several Freshers hangovers, the carefully designed pages of Doghouse would definitely entice many back to prop up their local pub bar for many more evenings to follow. For those that savour a bitter and have a craving for pork scratchings, Doghouse will provide to be a magazine which will provide endless hours of re-reading and prolonged field expeditions.

It's totally old school, settled in with a Double Diamond, a Woodbine, a pickled egg and a Babycham for the lady. There's lavish, often full-page photography of curling linoleum, patterned red carpets, pewter tankards and rosettes. The editor and photographer share a vision of pubdom so specific it's almost a fetish. Move over The Chap, you've got competition.

If you like pubs and good writing, as much as I do, then you'll probably like Doghouse magazine as much as I do.

Doghouse manages to capture the warmth and spirit of the pub itself. It features in-depth looks at pubs across the country, with each issue themed around a certain area, with insightful and entertaining writing accompanied by friendly nostalgia and great photography. Like the pubs featured, Doghouse is an honest, straightforward and convivial magazine, that is a pleasure to spend an hour or two in the company of, preferably down the local.

Nick Bentley, Newsstand

 

 

Where the magazine shines... is in the totality of its message.... Its outlook is essentially romantic: pubs of all shapes and sizes are wonderful, beguiling and fascinating. This has the potential to do more to 'save' pubs than any amount of woe-is-me whinging. The photos are often immersive, highly evocative full-page portraits of real rooms, in real pubs, with all their faults and flaws (dodgy gas heaters, scruffy carpets, fly-blown windows), and many might have been taken any time in the last forty years. Consider this an endorsement.

A fascinating glimpse into the social pillar of British society. Doghouse celebrates the timeless traditions and rustic aesthetic of true British pub culture; from the ubiquitous empty crisp packet wedged between a well-worn crack in a table, to the myriad of fascinating characters that can be found propping up the bar down any local. Topics range from ghosts, famous battles, random facts, to football and fishing. And of course the promotion of real ale. Great photography makes this quite literally a pub crawl for your eyes.

It has lovely production values, a pleasing aroma of paper, is thick and just right to read in the pub, has an avalanche of words tumbling over the edge of the precipice, photos of pubs that you might want to enter and others you might want to give a miss, has the size and feel of Wallpaper, and swells with an infectious liveliness. It’s a valuable record of pub life, whimsical and occasionally rambling, but well worth looking out for.

Adrian Tierney-Jones, Called to the Bar

 

 

Pubs continue to fascinate writers, and there’s a new pub magazine which has come out recently which is a real labour of love, and definitely worth getting hold of to have a butchers. It's called Doghouse.

I recently spent an afternoon in the Cock Tavern consuming Doghouse – ‘The British Pub Magazine’. Doghouse is wonderful – a loveletter to all aspects of British pub culture put together in a glorious colour magazine. The first issue features stories on pub crawls, Japanese beer machines, back room rap battles and dogs that have been barred for pissing in the public bar. It magics up a world of pints of mild and Fosters fonts in smoky snugs, and of Tavern Snacks…

Robin Turner, Caught by the River

 

 

It’s an attractive A4-sized publication, perfect-bound on high quality paper, smooth but not over-glossy. It has a clean, elegant design very different from the rather fussier would-be trendy approach of BEER, and features many magnificent full-page or double-spread photographs. If you love British pubs and pub culture it’s a must-read, and something you will keep and return to again and again. I would also suggest it would be a good idea for many pubs to stick a copy in their magazine rack for their customers to read and talk about.

This is a really wonderful magazine, all about pubs, breweries and the people in and around them... highly recommended.

Just bought my first copy of Doghouse. Great looking contemporary magazine on pubs: check it out.

I have a new favourite magazine: Doghouse; it's beautiful and odd all at the same time. Now begins my search for the perfect pub.

Today was a no drink night but edition 2 arriving from Doghouse; makes me want a beer.
