The oldest recorded pub in Carlisle (1747). There is a copy of a 15th century map of the area on display in the pub which suggests there was a building on the site at that time. The map shows that it sat on land owned by a monastery (Blackfriars) Only 10 minutes from both rail and bus stations the Sportsman can be found tucked away from the main pedestrian thoroughfare. Look behind House of Fraser and alongside M&S Food Hall. One large room features in this pub.
