Ship Inn, Castletownback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This has to be the worst of 19 pubs we visited on the island over the weekend. It's an extremely no frills one-room pub overlooking the inner harbour. The room has a pool table as its highlight in the centre. There is also an upper room. But I'm not sure this was in use. We opted for the exterior car park, where we enjoyed our drinks on the semi-burnt tables and benches admiring the withering flower displays, with occasional visits from the resident smokers. I'm reliably informed that the ladies toilets had a nice growth of mold. I declined the offer of trying out the gents. Okells Bitter was the only real ale offered. I'm not sure how this pub was previously. But it seems to be heading downhill rapidly.

It's changed hands a lot recently, but finally it's getting somewhere, friendly bar staff. Locals can be a bit odd but aren't they always in any pub. Upstairs room fantastic, not used as much as it could be, but things might change now there is yet another new landlady.

Worst pub, locals are not friendly at all, just alcoholics that want a fight

Probably the worst pub in Castletown although it has a beautiful lounge bar upstairs which overlooks the inner harbour. Sadly, the bar is not used to it's full potential.
Downstairs there is a public bar, often referred to as the 'Starwars Bar'. The locals are definately friendly and very loyal to the pub.
Excellent Okells ales and for this reason, well worth a visit.
Toilets smell and are off-putting.
