The Black Dog

The Black Dog

If you're a "Swiftie," a Taylor Swift fan, you are definitely familiar with The Black Dog.  In Taylor Swift's album "The Tortured Poet's Department," the song "The Black Dog" is said to be about her break-up with Joe Alwyn.  Apparently he frequented The Black Dog, which is a real-life bar in London, England, and forgot to turn off his location on his phone.  Taylor's official music lyric video is here:  The Black Dog 

The Black Dog has embraced the Swifties emerging on this now-famous bar in London and offer menu items named after Swift lore.  We arrived at the Black Dog on a cold November night.  My daughter is, perhaps, the most dedicated Swiftie ever born.  She attended the Eras Tour in Germany dressed as a mirror ball.  We tracked down the location of The Black Dog and took photos outside, although didn't have time to go inside and eat.  If we ever make it to London again, we won't miss ordering some Swift-like food.

The Black Dog is located at 112 Vauxhall Walk, London SEII 5ER, United Kingdom.  


It is open every day beginning at noon, and closing at 11 p.m. except on Sunday, when it closes at 10 p.m.  Their official website is here:  The Black Dog
