Canalhouse Bar
Castle Rock Brewery grade 2 listed pub and beer garden - craft beer, freshly cooked food and two resident narrow boats complete with a footbridge.
Opened in 2000 on the lower floors of the former Canal museum, the Canalhouse is famous for having a canal that extends into the building complete with resident narrow boats. Our aim is simple to offer the best craft and world beer experience possible, paralleled with an extensive choice of real ale. With the largest selection of ‘World Beers’ in the East Midlands, travel the world with us guided
You can’t beat Sunday lunch at the pub 🤤
Don’t fancy making dinner for yourself? Let us handle it! Choose between chicken or beef, along with a classic yorkshire pudding and seasonal vegetables.
📧 Booking not necessary but you can via email: [email protected]
Save the washing up, pop down to the pub!

SIEGE PERILOUS: European-inspired lager (0.5%)
🍺 distinct lager bitterness, balanced by sweet malts. Medium body with a crisp, dry finish – achieved by Saaz hops for a slight spiced aroma
Crack open a cold, alcohol-free one with your nearest and dearest this summer. No questions asked!
