New Project: The Dog & Collar, Liverpool Posted 7 Jul 2025

Located at 60 Hope Street in Liverpool’s historic Georgian Quarter, The Dog & Collar isn’t just a pub... it’s a celebration of community, craft & character. Following an extensive refurbishment, the 200-year-old venue reopened its doors at the end of 2024 with a new vision: to become a true “public house and loyal friend.”

We were proud to play a part in bringing that vision to life by supplying a range of bespoke furniture pieces, as well as supplying and restoring antique & reclaimed furniture showcased throughout the space.

The Dog & Collar is divided into three thoughtfully designed spaces: the bustling Taproom, the welcoming Tavern, and the refined Dining Room. Each requiring its own distinct furniture identity. Working closely with the design team at Studio R2A, we curated a package that reflects the building’s layered history and modern hospitality standards.

Supplying a Rich Mix of Furniture

  • Reclaimed dining chairs and traditional pub tables, bringing authenticity and character to the space while supporting sustainability goals.
  • Bespoke drum stools, crafted specifically for this project to add flair and flexibility in both bar and dining settings.
  • A beautiful rustic oak pew, offering warmth, comfort, and a nod to ecclesiastical influences found in many classic British pubs.
  • A varied selection of tabletops, including zinc, marble, & oak, chosen to reflect the character of each room – elevating the aesthetic while providing hardwearing surfaces for daily service.

Each piece was handcrafted and finished in our workshop, ensuring both durability and design integrity.

A Setting That Matches the Menu

Helmed by Great British Menu 2025 chef Livia Alarcon, The Dog & Collar’s food offering is grounded in fire, smoke, and the best of British produce.

The furniture had to match that level of detail: classic, inviting and made to last. Whether guests are enjoying a pre-theatre small plate in the Dining Room, watching the match in the Tavern, or settling into a snug corner of the Taproom, the furniture enhances the overall experience. Wood finishes, aged patinas and bespoke detailing make every seat part of the story!
