Old Market Inn, Douglas

Under the same ownership for many years, The Market has one of the smallest bars on the island, serving two separate rooms. What it lacks in size is more than made up for in character with few pubs remaining of this style in the British Isles. This is a friendly pub, where the visitor is almost bound to end up in conversation with other drinkers. In close proximity to the bus station and ferry terminal, it makes a great waiting room. An unusual painting of a market scene resides above the front bar, apparently painted by a customer in days gone by. It was in recent years rediscovered, having been covered by another painting. The beers available have for some time been exclusively from Bushy's. At TT race periods look out for an OMG beer, Old Market Grog, brewed especially by Bushys for the race festival,exclusively for 'The Market' as the pub is known as.
