Falcons Rest

 
Description: PUB. Clayport Street, Alnwick, Northumberland

Newest Review: ... could take a trip to the quiet bar, play some pool or relax in a quiet corner. It wasn't perfect though, the drinks were about 40p more expensive than all the other pubs and you were shown the door the moment the clock struck 11pm. I went there once, and I didn't think it was all too bad, but I realise now it was only OK because I had little experience of anything else. I went back ... more

 ... a few times, but this was more because other people were going than any desire of mine. Then around New Year time they underwent some massive changes. They got a late license for Fridays and Saturdays so they could stay open until 2am. This may not soun...more

Premium Review Falcons Rest: Pub that thinks it's a Club (900 words)

Once upon a time this pub was called the Blue Bell. Back in those days it was a pub. Now it's mutated in to something altogether more dastardly, it describes itself as a 'fun pub'. It stays open 'til 2am and offers the cheesiest disco this side of your old middle school. Well, fair dues to this place, as it does well, but it just ain't my cup of tea. I only actually visited this pub once back when it was called the Blue Bell, and that was for a game of pool. It was before my drinking age (before I was old enough to pass for 18!), but as soon as I turned 18 I naturally used my right to purchase alcohol. Following some more experienced ...  Read the complete review

I must admit that i don't like this pub, yes i have darkend the door a couple of times in the past, but i don't enjoy it, its only because the my friend like going that i end up there. I do have respect for the owner of the place he has really turned the place around from the previous managers, and if you are in to the dance music scene then i suppose that this place would be the salt of the earth to you, the DJ's are excellent (i kind of have to say that as i know one of them). The Good Points: A pull down TV to watch sport on. Good DJ's (if you like that kind of thing) A large selection of drinks. Lively atmosphere. The ...  Read the complete review

Falcons Rest: Pretentious Pub (346 words)

The Falcons Rest back in the good old days used to be a pub you could go to and have a few drinks whilst people played pool and such around you. You know what I mean, the usual average pub. Ok So back then it was called the Blue Bell but that's not the point. The point is coming soon by the way. The Falcons has now become so full of it's own arrogance that it has turned itself into some kind of "night club" oh yes. If you are not in there before 10pm then you must pay like £1 entry fee. After 11pm you've gotta pay something like £2 entry fee. Ok so let's assume you pay this outrageous fee to get in, what do you get but a bunch of people ...  Read the complete review
