What John Guma likes about Castlebay Irish Pub:
Experience a slice of Ireland right in the heart of Annapolis. Enjoy excellent draft beers, a welcoming staff, live music, and even the occasional sound of bagpipes! This place is sure to become your favorite pub. View all feedback.

What Brett Sabbato doesn't like about Castlebay Irish Pub:
The food here is great, but the beer selection leaves much to be desired for a place with "pub" in its name. I ordered the bangers and mash, which were tasty but could have benefited from a bit more gravy and some mushrooms. The beer wasn't ice cold, and the variety was not as impressive as I had hoped. Overall, while this place may not wow you, it's a solid option for quality food in Annapolis on a busy weekend nigh... View all feedback.
