About This Pub

You know, when I think about The Castle, it just sounds like one of those pubs that hits the mark for a proper good time. From what folks are saying, it's got this warm, welcoming feel where you can pop in, grab a drink, and chat away with the friendly crowd – especially if you're into rock and metal, as they've got live music that really brings the place to life. The staff are dead helpful and the prices won't break the bank, plus it's open late, which is brilliant for those nights that don't want to end early. On the flip side, it doesn't seem like food's a strong point; a few mentions that it's not clear what's on offer, so you might want to grab a bite elsewhere first. And honestly, their website was a bit of a faff when I tried it, which could make planning a visit a tad frustrating. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a genuine, down-to-earth pub experience in Luton, but keep those little niggles in mind for a smoother trip.

Great pub. If you like your rock and metal then this is the place. Locals are very friendly. I'm working down here and got chatting to people. Can't think of a better rock bar in Luton. Don't know if they do food so didn't give a rating
