It’s that time of the year again, when the Isle of Man comes to life with the sound of thousands of roaring bike engines, from 25th May - 7th June.
But, as we all know, the TT is not just about racing, it’s about basking in a bit of sunshine (hopefully), taking in the atmosphere and having a pint or two. We’re blessed with 37.73 miles (to be exact) of TT course to watch the bikes from…so we’ve put together a few of our fave spots to watch the Senior Races this TT. Why not try one out...?
Castletown, Isle of Man, IM9
Quaint, cosy and full of charm from a bygone era. ‘The Glue Pot’ as it is far better known sits right on the harbour in Castletown and is literally a stone’s throw from Castle Rushen.
Peel, Isle of Man, IM5
With locally brewed Okell's ales and up to 10 ever-changing guest beers available all year round, The Creek Inn is a Real Ale drinkers paradise, a Cask Marque pub and an active CAMRA supporter.
Onchan, Isle of Man, IM4
This pub is famous for its position on one of the most exciting parts of the Isle of Man TT track and really comes to life during the month of the TT. Throughout the year it has a fantastic meal and bar snack option along with real ales.
Crosby, Isle of Man, IM4
A fabulous pub sitting right on the TT course. It serves extremely good food in a welcoming atmosphere…
Laxey, Isle of Man, IM4
The Mines is a little Manx gem close by the Laxey tram station. There is an overwhelming feel of belonging when you enter this pub, like you want to snuggle in for the day and become part of the furniture.
Kirk Michael, Isle of Man, IM6
The oldest pub on the Island. It’s wonderfully quaint with a double helping of old-fashioned hospitality…
Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1
Oscar’s is the new revered destination in the heart of Douglas. Set over two floors, Oscar’s is a restaurant and bar offering the very best food and drink in an elegant and refined setting.
Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1
Expect a dramatic space where the mood is unashamedly contemporary, the perfect place to enjoy a beer and a pizza…
Ramsey, Isle of Man, IM8
Recently refreshed The Swan is a family-friendly pub with a well-earned reputation for serving good home-cooked food. Located on Parliament Square, the pub offers inviting surroundings and an equally charming welcome.
