About The Venue

The Falcon is a Grade II listed public house built in the Classical style of late 17th century architecture. Originally serving as a coaching inn for travelers on regional routes, it was refronted mid-18th century and still features its historic stone porch today. Inside, wooden beams and stone walls blend with bright lighting to give a lively but welcoming feel. The noise level is high due to the venue’s central spot near transport links, drawing in locals, families, tourists, and visitors on weekday evenings and weekends.

Typical Experiences

The Falcon serves as a daytime catch-up spot for quick meals and an evening hangout with friends or solo visits. It's known for its Spice Bag meal served all day and guest craft ales from breweries like Stu Brew, Europe’s first student-led brewery based at Newcastle University. The pub hosts live music nights that keep crowds going late into the night while still being family-friendly in daylight hours.
