Bars

We have two atmospheric public bars on the ground floor. The Galleon bar is a traditional English pub serving real ales and good home cooked food. The harbour bar has a more contemporary feel with live music every week and sports fixtures showing on large TVs. Both bars serve food all day.

The Royal Castle is very much at the heart of Dartmouth, not just physically but as a meeting place. Meet for coffee or informal dining in the Galleon bar, where we serve a wide range of bar meals. Open log fires burn on cooler evening. During the winter months we serve delicious spit-roasts on our 300 year-old range.
