Carlisle Castle Hotel is a pub in Newtown, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. [1] [2]
Carlisle Castle Hotel was built in 1876 as a classic pub hidden away in the back streets of Newtown. [2]
The Italian marble bar that adorns the castle's traditional entrance nowadays was installed in the 1920s. [2]
Carlisle Castle Hotel has gone through several renovations and iterations throughout the years. [3]
Carlisle Castle Hotel offers accommodation, a marble bar, piano parlor, lounge room, beer garden, and bottle shop. [4]
The pub was reportedly haunted. Bartenders have reported strange occurrences such as lights flickering on and off, beer taps turning on by themselves, and shadows moving around the room. In 2014, a wine bottle flinging off by itself was caught on camera. [1] [6] [7]
Some suggested it must be "Old Peter" who worked in the pub in the early 1990s. Others suggest it's Carlisle Castle Hotel's licensee, Peter Bradbury's, predecessor Johnny Hoy. Doubtful netizens however, insisted that the drinks fell off due to lazy shelf stacking or vibrations of a fridge motor. [6]
A pub is in several countries a drinking establishment licensed to serve alcoholic drinks for consumption on the premises. The term first appeared in England in the late 17th century, to differentiate private houses from those open to the public as alehouses, taverns and inns. Today, there is no strict definition, but the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) states a pub has four characteristics:
A bar, also known as a saloon, a tavern or tippling house, or sometimes as a pub or club, is a retail business that serves alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, liquor, cocktails, and other beverages such as mineral water and soft drinks. Bars often also sell snack foods, such as chips (crisps) or peanuts, for consumption on their premises. Some types of bars, such as pubs, may also serve food from a restaurant menu. The term "bar" refers both to the countertop where drinks are prepared and served and also by extension to the entirety of the establishment in which the bar is located.

Lager is by far the most popular type of beer consumed in Australia.
A liquor store is a retail business that predominantly sells prepackaged alcoholic beverages, including liquors, wine or beer, usually intended to be consumed off the store's premises. Depending on region and local idiom, they may also be called an off-licence, off-sale, bottle shop, bottle store or, colloquially, bottle-o, liquor store or other similar terms. A very limited number of jurisdictions have an alcohol monopoly. In US states that are alcoholic beverage control (ABC) states, the term ABC store may be used.

Sweden is historically part of the vodka belt, with high consumption of distilled drinks and binge drinking, but during the later half of the 20th century, habits became more harmonized with western Europe, with increasing popularity of wine and weekday drinking. Wine is now also grown and produced in several parts of Sweden and the southernmost region of Skåne is turning into a hub experiencing a strong growth in number of active vineyards.
