Unusual refurbishment has given this historic pub an evening cafe bar/cocktail bar feel, while still catering for sports enthusiasts and regulars. The only free house in the town with Cask Marque, the Candlestick serves at least three, usually stronger and ever-changing real ales, with the best chance of getting a stout or porter in Whitehaven. This is a popular bar with locals and tourists alike with knowledgeable ale drinking staff. May close early any night but will remain open with customers inside. Local Branch Pub of the Year runner-up 2023
