Castlebay Irish Pub

Standard Irish pub in Annapolis. Had their Thomas Jefferson beer the rest pretty mainstream. Not really a ratebeer destination.

All of the ratings below are accurate and there isn’t anything more I can add to the discussion. I would also recommend checking out the Federal House instead of this location.

Typical artificial American Irish pub. One table outside to count as a patio I guess. Mostly macros. Go to the Rams Head instead.

Definitely not a destination for somebody in search of a big beer menu thats for sure! Service was good. Ambience was ok, had an irish pub kind of feel with the design and type of furniture, but some large weird paintings on the walls. I got a reuben and thought it was fantastic. My girlfriend enjoyed her burger...but thats hard to screw up.

typical fake Irish pub with the usual mass produced irish beers

Nice Irish bar, decent food, but not a beer destination. I will look for their brew next time but i didn’t see it while i was there.

Yeah agree with Cletus. Not a craft beer place- one Heavy Seas beer on tap. About 10 taps of macros. Normal Applebee’s type food. Not worth seeking. Bottle shop down the road closer to the marina is a definite beer geek stop however. Castlebay does brew its own beer apparently, but it was ’not in production’ when I was there.

I added this place for one simple reason. They brew 1 beer. Otherwise, this is a typical Irish Pub filled with typical macrobrews. Minus the house beer which they brew on their own system, this place is not worth visiting for a beer geek.
