About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
A classic home-fan matchday pub near Carlisle station (around 225m), The Caledonian has 12 large screens and shows English & Scottish football on Sky Sports, BT/TNT Sports and Premier Sports—so you can catch early kick-offs and post-match games. Carlisle United’s own away-fan guide designates the Caledonian as home-fans only, which creates a strong pre-match atmosphere for locals on Botchergate. Combine that with easy station access for meeting up before the walk or bus along Warwick Road to Brunton Park, and it’s a convenient, football-focused base for home supporters.

Always spot on. It's all been redone since I last went in and it was spot on. Cheap drinks. Nice staff. Clean
The back door being open continuously is terrible. It's so cold..asked the bar staff if it could be closed but it wasn't. Brilliant pub other than that. 28th nov 25
A large boozer close to Carlisle Station, when you walk in The Caledonian it feels old fashioned but the bar staff are friendly and the prices are very reasonable.
Great atmosphere, well priced quality beer. Old skool boozer...
Fantastic place, bar staff very friendly. Very cheap drink and always get a good beer, never taken one back yet. Karaoke usually on a Friday and Sunday evening. Usually very busy. Don't sell food unless you want crisps etc. Toilet for disabled.
