A traditional and historic pub, the Castle Arms is also known as The Glue Pot. It is next to Castletown harbour beneath the walls of Castle Rushen and handy for the other heritage attractions. Two small ground floor rooms have nautical and Manx motor racing themes. The patio is perfect for watching quayside vessels and waterfront wildlife. The only pub in the British Isles to feature on a banknote (to the left of Castle Rushen on the Manx £5 note!). The pub is thought to have dated from around 1750, and used by the local garrison from Castle Rushen stationed only yards away. It was saved from closure in the late 1980s after a public outcry but received an extensive refurbishment in the early 1990s increasing the pub's size. The World Tin Bath championships are held nearby each year. Today two Okell's beers are regularly kept with guest ales in the summer months and at busier times.

Historic Interest

On the Manx £5 note
