The Castle

This charming establishment prides itself on being a true local's pub, eschewing the typical trappings of the modern gastro pub scene. Stepping inside, patrons are greeted with a cozy atmosphere where the eclectic mix of clientele and warm ambiance immediately feel like home. It's the kind of place where Guinness flows freely and the absence of a kitchen extends a unique invitation: you're welcome to couple your pint with a delivery from the nearby Yard Sale Pizza. Darts, pool, and an ample array of sports broadcast on multiple screens contribute to its lively setting. Run by amiable hosts Robbie and Hayley, they've cultivated a space that warmly embraces everyone—from seasoned regulars to hip young newcomers. While it is strictly card-only, The Castle remains a bastion of community spirit in the heart of East Dulwich.
