The Falcon in Kirkby

Ah, The Falcon in Liverpool is one of those cosy pubs that really hits the spot for a relaxed evening or a catch-up with mates. From what I've gathered, the staff are just lovely – always helpful and making sure everything runs smoothly, which adds to that warm, community feel. The drinks are a highlight too; a well-poured Guinness or a refreshing lager goes down a treat, and it's all at an inexpensive price, so you won't break the bank. Plus, with the outdoor area and a play spot for the little ones, it's brilliant for family gatherings or even private dos, where the space really shines. On the flip side, though, the lounge inside can get a bit overcrowded with furniture, which might make it harder to chat freely or pop to the bar without a bit of a squeeze. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a friendly spot with good energy, but keep in mind that indoor mingling could use a bit more room to breathe – still, I'd say it's worth a visit for the positives alone!
