The Castle has two dedicated music spaces. The basement offers an intimate club environment. DJs to have played the venue in recent years include selectors such as Ben UFO and Skream (pictured), house and techno stalwarts like Lee Foss, Jane Fitz and Evil Eddie Richards, and drum and bass luminaries such as Doc Scott, dBridge and Alix Perez. The top floor is geared towards live music, while also hosting regular comedy nights, occasional plays & exhibitions.

There’s been a pub at the site since 1792. Situated on the corner of Goodman’s Stile & 44 Commercial Road, it was originally called the Dover Castle. The pub was owned at one time by Frank Maloney, the British boxing manager and promoter who managed Lennox Lewis to the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. It is rumoured there was a ring on the top floor where boxers used to train daily. It’s fair to say the walls of The Castle have seen it all.
