This Pub is Closed Long Term

Small unspoilt local in the centre of Peel, a short distance from the promenade. Re-opened with a new licensee, the Central is making a real go of selling real ales. Food is once again available with special offers on Thursday steak and Friday fish nights. This is a truly quiet pub where conversation is paramount and it is claimed to be the first pub being set up on the Isle of Man in 1608. Bottled Oddfellas Grand Master cider from the Isle of Cider Company usually available.

In summer of 2025 the premise closed. It was rumoured to possibly open for private functions in the future.

Historic Interest

Claimed to be the 1st pub on the Island, established 1608
