Castle Hotel, Manchester

The Castle Hotel is a historic public house in Manchester, England. The Campaign for Real Ale considers it to have an "interior of exceptional national historic importance."

History

The present building was originally opened in 1776 as The Crown and Sceptre, before being named the Castle Hotel in the late 19th century.

In c. 1904, the pub was remodelled by Kay's Atlas Brewery, who added glazed tiles to the exterior frontage of the ground floor.

On 19 June 1988, the Castle Hotel became a Grade II listed building.

A live music venue since the early 1990s, the building fell into disrepair by the 2000s and closed in 2008.

In 2009, the pub was acquired and renovated by former Coronation Street actor Rupert Hill and business partner Jonny Booth, and it continued to be a live music venue.
