The Castle

Time Out says Rate it

Whatever the price and quality of the gastropub fare (pork belly and mash for a tenner, roasted root risotto at £7.50), this is a proper Portobello local. The majority of the jolly, bohemian-minded punters hanging around the pleasingly sparse, open-plan interior - probably at the bar - seem cheerfully merry whatever the time of day, which istestament of sorts to the agreeable atmosphere cultivated by the matey staff.

There's music three or four nights a week; the rest of the time, it's a free for all, with unshaven musos hammering back Black Sheep, Staropramen, Kirin or Leffe. A couch in one corner affords comfort to couples.

Forget it now. No more music, the NIMBYs have finally killed it off. Amazing how people who move into the area for the "feel" are then allowed to kill everything off. Without the music, no point in going.
