The Crosby is a classic, welcoming village pub located right on a fast stretch of the famous Isle of Man TT course. Nestled in the heart of Crosby village, this long-standing pub is as popular with race fans as it is with locals and day-trippers. With its rich blend of traditional character, hearty meals, and a relaxed, family-friendly vibe, it has become a firm favourite all year round.
During TT fortnight, The Crosby transforms into a buzzing hub for motorcycle enthusiasts thanks to its unbeatable location and spacious outdoor seating area. There’s even a 1939 Works Replica Manx Norton motorcycle proudly displayed in the entrance – a nod to its deep connection with the racing scene. But this pub isn’t just for race fans. For the other fifty weeks of the year, The Crosby is a laid-back community pub that offers a warm welcome to all.
The interior is comfortable and traditional, with wood-paneled walls, cosy booths, and plenty of space for larger groups. The food menu is broad and satisfying, featuring everything you’d hope to see from a solid British pub kitchen — think beer-battered fish and chips, hearty steak and ale pie, lasagne, curries, burgers, and Sunday roasts. There are also plenty of vegetarian options, and the friendly staff are happy to accommodate dietary needs or smaller appetites with half portions when available.
Families are very welcome here. There’s a comprehensive kids’ menu, as well as an impressive outdoor children’s play area and expansive garden space, perfect for keeping little ones entertained while parents relax with a drink. Speaking of drinks, The Crosby’s bar is well-stocked with a selection of local ales, lagers, ciders, spirits, and wines, plus plenty of soft drinks and non-alcoholic options. It's a great place for a casual pint, a family meal, or a catch-up with friends.
The large car park out front means access is easy, and there’s plenty of space even on busy days. The pub is also a favourite stop for walkers, cyclists, and bikers exploring the island, especially with its proximity to scenic routes and popular attractions.
Whether you’re in the area for the TT races or just passing through for lunch or dinner, The Crosby offers a great mix of good food, friendly service, and relaxed charm. Add in the garden, play area, and TT heritage, and you’ve got one of the Isle of Man’s most dependable and enjoyable local pubs.
