Located in Mattoon, IL, The Castle Pub & Gaming Lounge is the second oldest bar in town providing the local area with drinks and entertainment since 1929. There’s an exciting new chapter ahead for the establishment as it’s expanding its entertainment repertoire to include a stage for bands and a new solar-powered canopy over an outdoor bar. What will be a first for a central Illinois restaurant or pub, the Castle’s project will feature a 2,600 square feet solar canopy. The Castle’s owner Jon England hired local solar contractor Tick Tock Energy to conceptualize and bring this innovative solar project to reality.
