The Falcon Inn, Chester

This is a fantastic looking pub on a crossroads just off the city centre , apparently it was the townhouse of a local bigwig before becoming a pub , There are 3 rooms down stairs and 1 up , locals seem to use the back room mainly , it was a lot cleaner and the beer better than my last visit (new manager)customers are a strange mix locals , tourists , old dears , couples , teenagers and micro skirted woman tottering around in 6 inch heels , all seem to mix happily , there is a much friendlier atmosphere than on my last visit , worth a visit

The exterior of this pub is great; mainly black timber and white render, with stone foundation. The interior has been sympathetically restored, with the wood beam look. It is more or less open plan, with lots of wood partitions. There are old pictures and prints on the walls and fireplaces. Its a nice buidling and always seems popular, which Sam Smiths are, if only for the price of the beer. Sadly, the Boot is far superior on the quality of its Sam Smith's beers. The Falcon seems to serve it a lot colder and therefore has less taste. The staff are generally a little less friendly. I always visit the Falcon, as it isnt awful and i keep hoping it will get a little better. I only stay for one, whereas i stay longer in the Boot.
