Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Falcon

First revisit since the reopening by Turning Point, and the layout has certainly changed, with the alehouse-style bar now at the front. The rear room is now a quieter and plainer lounge, with just a pump less serving hatch at the back of the central servery. Three cask ales on handpump: the brewery's own Wavelength (£4.90), it's Tonka & Vanilla Stout collaboration with Vocation and Beartown Bitter as a guest. Also has various crafty keg beers on an eight-tap fount.

An unexpected reopening of an in my previous experience, not that good a pub, into a pretty well regarded craft beer* bar but also with three well chosen casks, there’s eight keg taps as well. The main counter with the pulls and taps is in the smaller front bar, there’s a larger sitting room at the back with a serving hatch. Little in the way of soft furnishings and the small size makes it noisy. Cask beers from Fyne Ales, Half Moon and Turning Point on this occasion. The white walls are decorated with a few large photos in a sort of Blade Runner style, others are of Falcons (the birds). Unisex bogs at rear. I like what Turning Point have done here the beer is good and the service friendly.

*(going with the most usual definition, ie kegged, cold, fizzy; often cloudy or murky produced by a small brewery perhaps located in a shed or a garage or even a small industrial unit, characterised by over heavy hopping with new world hops or the addition of non beery ingredients. The brewery will either soon go bankrupt or manage to get bought up by a multinational.)

Excellent atmospheric beer house with no pretensions but some excellent ales. Sadly it closed on 29 April 2018 following a change in ownership of the building, which apparently is going to be mainly converted to accommodation. A licensed premise of some sort may reopen on the ground floor in due course.
