The Falcon Inn, Nottingham

The Falcon is a fairly small pub that is situated in the middle of canning circus. The pub used to be a Shipstones tied house with a very nice drink of Shipstones bitter and mild on the bar. The pub has now been reopened by Lincoln Green brewery,once inside the pubs layout is the same as it was years ago,there is a smallish room through the entrance with the bar facing,the seating is bench type and small tables and stools,there was a real fire on the go in the rear left corner,there is a small snug to the right which had tables and chairs in it and a real fire on the go,there was also a large old pub sign of the Falcon when it was a Shipstones house on the wall,which brought back a few memories. There were about 8 pumps on the bar,with five beers from Lincoln Green,i had a drink of Lincoln Green Marion which was a really nice drink and cheap at £2.60 a pint,the other beers from Lincoln Green were Hood, Tuck, Sherrif and Longbow,there were two guest beers on one from Welbeck Abbey and St Austell Tribute. This is a really nice pub now,with a good choice of real ales,well worth a visit if in the area. Pub first visited 1980 Recent visit 26/10/2013

The Falcon has re-opened after quite some time being closed. Still small and smelling a bit of fresh paint, the interior is clean but sparce. Several ales on the bar including those from local brewer lincoln Green. Lets hope the Falcon stops open longer this time and goes from strength to strength.
