Castle Mountain has one legendary pub (T Bar Pub)

Castle’s history comes alive before your eyes, in the T-Bar Pub. From serving as Castle’s maintenance shop in the early 70’s to acting as the rental shop from the late 70’s through to the late 90’s, when it was finally converted into a pub, this building has been part of Castle’s fabric since nearly the very beginning, all the way back in 1966.

The T-Bar Pub has seen several renovations including an expansion in 2009 and a back-of-house and bar area renovation in 2019 but this building retains its character. Any visitor to our resort does themselves a great disservice by skipping out on a visit to the T-Bar.
