About this space

BrewDog Castlegate is a craft-beer bar defined by an industrial, music-focused interior.

Design: The interior presents an industrial palette of exposed ceilings, dark-painted finishes and pendant lighting. Timber high tables, bench seating and a neon feature wall establish clear sightlines across an open-plan space.

Features: The venue includes a long service bar, a PA system and built-in speakers. The venue permits own music and bring-your-own DJs and provides Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The venue provides step-free access, accessible toilets and natural light from front windows, plus a clear open area suitable as a dance floor.

Ideal for: Groups looking for an informal, lively social gathering in a standing or mixed‑seating format.

What sets it apart: An extensive on-tap selection pairs BrewDog core beers with a rotating programme of guest brews.

What guests say: The space is welcoming and inclusive with a characterful interior and friendly, attentive staff.
