Nice old town pub beside the harbour. Decent pint of Okells.

Quiet and cosy pub next to the harbour and Castle Rushen. The 2 small bars are cosy with wood panelling and sloping ceilings, making you feel like you are on a boat. Various ship ephermera can be seen on the walls. Greene King London Glory, Okells Bitter & Bass were the ales available. Probably the best option in the centre of Castletown. Although the Sidings near the station proved to be a slightly better option.

Pleasant pub by the Quay with Okells beers. Nothing exceptional but it was a quiet haven when we visited it. Beer was good. Only gripe was that when "Whole lotta love" came to the guitar solo, the stereo split had Jimmy Page's guitar solo sounding as if somewhere in another room!*! I had to put down my air guitar and retire!

Nice enough place although nothing special. Multi roomed and an outdoor seating area. By the harbour and the castle so ought to be popular with tourists but seemed to be very quiet. No food available. Okells Bitter and 2 guests (Bass and Merrie Monk) from �2.60.

Enjoyed my visit to this pub with nautical theme in the rooms. Lovely seating area outside by the harbour wall. Had Okells Bitter and Okells IPA both in good condition.
|
A nice enough pub in the picturesque town of Casteltown, fairly busy and with a decent range of ales including the ever rarer Okell's Mild. It was in quite poor condition which is a shame, bit of a vicious circle, if it's bad people won't drink it, if people don't drink it, it goes bad.
|
Good little pub in a great location by the harbour and near the castle - also about 200 metres from the bus stop. Beer was good in a pleasant friendly atmosphere.
|
A great pub that is must visit when on the island,i am a licencee myself so tend to be fussy over my beer and neaver had a bad pint of Oakels in here yet.All staff are good fun and polite
|
Great pub located between the castle and the harbour. The outside terrace overlooks the harbour. Only one real ale - Okells - but very well kept. Pub is a regular entry in CAMRAs Good Beer Guide. Good value food is served lunchtimes (not Sun) and portions are generous. I recommend the fishermans platter for seafood fans.

A really quaint pub overlooking the harbour. Beer is always good. Food is served in the first floor restaurant I believe, but have never been there so couldn't guarantee it.
Can get busy at weekends and during the World Tin Bath Championships.
Can also get very smoky but still worth a visit. Very much part of the Castletown 'circuit'.

Two completely different experiences. Friday evening, buzzing. Sunday evening - we were only people ion place - apart from barstaff for about an hour
|
Extremely popular in summer as seating on the Quay outside. Cosy interior and good beer.
Apparently, a boatman used to have a workshop in or next to the Castle Arms and his fishglue pot was always on the boil - much to the detriment of the taste of the beer
