Baltic Inn, Foxdale

Quiet cosy local, one main room with separated seating areas, two dartboards and pool. A roaring real fire in winter adds to the atmosphere and that, along with the unobtrusive TV screen for the sports, makes for a homely, almost front room, feel to the place. This makes it an ideal venue to quietly watch the sports including the football over a relaxed pint for those who are less keen on the big format town centre sports bar type venue. The pub has very successfully returned to real ale in recent years along with bottled Okell's IPA and Maclear beers. There are some rare photos on the walls of The Baltic depicting Foxdale during the mining boom, one depicting hundreds of miners outside the mine works, and also an impressive painting of the former Foxdale steam railway station. Best way to find out about this friendly village pub is to pay it a visit and it will not disappoint. The pub does snacks on demand when possible and in recent times the former status as a hotel has been restored with three rooms being available. The clientele are invariably immensely friendly, in this very closely knit rural community situated inland in the heart of the island.
