The Castle Bar

Dating back to the 16th century, The Castle Bar is a Grade II listed property situated in the heart of the town centre. Following an extensive refurbishment project, where the current owners transformed the building, the pub secured the prestigious CAMRA Pub Design Award in 2009, firmly establishing the venue as one of the area’s most characterful licensed premises. 

Overlooking Market Place in Cockermouth, The Castle Bar attracts both local residents and visitors alike, attracted by its proximity to the Lake District National Park.

Arranged over three floors, the property offers a lounge bar, sports bar, and three versatile function rooms, providing seating for up to 190 customers.

Exposed stonework, feature fireplaces and beamed ceilings enhance the pub’s historic charm, while to the rear lies a large, three-tiered south-facing beer garden, a rare feature for a town-centre location. 

The sale process is being managed by Keith Stringer and Marslie McGregor at Christie & Co, who commented, “The Castle Bar is a standout wet-led freehold opportunity in one of Cumbria’s most attractive market towns.

“It combines historic character with excellent trading performance and has clearly been cared for and invested in by the current owners. With multiple trading areas, strong local and tourist demand, and a proven track record, it will appeal to experienced operators and lifestyle buyers alike.”

The Castle Bar is on the market freehold with an asking price of offers over £800,000.
