The Castle Bar, Market Place, Cockermouth.
"Busy pub in the towns market place. Refurbished and commended in CAMRA Pub Design Awards 2009 .Local branch Pub of the Year 2020. The modern interior retains many historic features in this fine old building. Three floors house a bar with five hand pumps serving mainly Cumbrian ales, a restaurant on the first floor plus a relaxing second floor room with comfy leather sofas. The terraced, courtyard beer garden is popular in summer. Large TV screens show sports. Private functions for family celebrations and events available. Dogs allowed but downstairs only."

"Castle Bar, along with several other buildings on the north-eastern side of Market Place, have façades of eighteenth or nineteenth century date which conceal substantially unaltered buildings dating to at least the sixteenth or seventeenth centuries.
Parts of the Castle Bar certainly date from the sixteenth century, if not earlier, and it was probably originally the house of a relatively rich merchant. The property was known as the Ship Hotel from at least 1811 and then as the Ship Inn during the later twentieth century."
