History.

The Thin White Duke was founded in early 2010 and opened its doors to the public in December of that year.

Situated on an old monastery and still retaining the original features including a tunnel that once ran under the great border city to the Cathedral, it has become a favoured eating and drinking abode for Carlisle and its many visitors. The name is a nod to David Bowie and throughout the Bar you will find musical influences, culminating with DJ’s on both Friday and Saturday nights creating a cool vibrant atmosphere.

David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known professionally as David Bowie, was an English singer, songwriter and actor. He was a leading figure in popular music for over five decades, acclaimed by critics and other musicians for his innovative work. Born in Brixton, South London, Bowie developed an interest in music as a child, eventually studying art, music and design before embarking on a professional career as a musician in 1963. “Space Oddity” became his first top-five entry on the UK Singles Chart after its release in July 1969.

After a period of experimentation, he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with his flamboyant and androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust. He remained musically active until he died of liver cancer two days after the release of his final album, Blackstar (2016).

w e i v r e t In During our time at the White Duke, we was able to ask a staff member a few questions. Some interesting info rmation came up about a new resturant na med Spider and Fly opening rather soon on Scotland road.

This bar also themed by music, the tit le influenced by ‘The Spider and The Fly’,

by The Rolling Stones.

Unfortunately, the bar staff didn’t seem to know too much about the resturant its elf, However, we did talk about how love ly the resturant itself is and how much they enjoy working at the Thin White Duke.

The staff described the bar as “Chille d” with a “Classy Vibe” which I would agree with completely.
