The Falconer Pub opened in Beverly last month. They serve up British and American pub fare plus 9 beers on tap, ciders, wines and seltzers. The food offerings include appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, noodle bowl, fish & chips, curry, and meat or veggie pies. The place has the cozy bar section with bar counter seating and high top tables in front and a dining room section with regular tables. I stopped by The Falconer in Beverly recently for lunch. I sat up at a high top table in the bar area and was given menus to look at. The place wasn't very busy, so the server was very anxious as he brought over some chilled water in a glass jar. I ordered the Savory Beef Pie ($15 plus tax), which served in about 8 minutes after ordering. The plate of food had the beef pie which had a baked thick flaky pie crust filled with tender savory beef stewed with storm door porter, onions and spices, good flavors, but not a very hot temperature. This pie was served with golden chips (thicker fries hot and crisp) and mushy peas. I used some HP Sauce and malt vinegar for the chips. I finished up my food and the server was right there to ask me if I was all set, which I was. The check was $16.05 with tax and before tip. Overall, the food was pretty good and the service was prompt. The server did sort of hover closeby a few times since the bar area is very cozy. read more

Excellent British pub food, great service and great prices. The British style fish n chips was outstanding. The fish was super crispy and it even came with a side of mushy peas. If you haven't had mushy peas, it's a traditional British side dish. I don't even like peas and I ate it. The falconer burger was juicy and delicious. You will definitely need two napkins. The hummus plate had freshly made plain hummus, black bean hummus and red pepper hummus. The pizza was excellent as well. They have a fantastic beer list featuring Riverwalk Brewing Co beers and a decent wine list. We will definitely be going back again! read more

See all

Some of the worst food I've had. The fish was smelly and obviously not fresh. The curry isn't home made and tasted like it came from a grocery store. The pizza was burnt and overcooked. The burger was so small that it looked like a slider. Overall we had a horrible experience and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Honestly, you'd have a better meal at Applebee's. read more

Good little pub for Riverwalk beers. Curry fries are really good. Riverwalk is good beer. I probably would go to Old Planters or Coastal if you just want beer. read more

I came in for falcon and much to my surprise there was none on the menu. A huge disappointment. I haven't had it since I was a boy. If you are going to advertise something so prominently you better have it in my book! Update: They have Falcon available now!!!! read more

Solid pub with good beer selection. Chill atmosphere, good service. Good for families. Their Fish Nuggs are delicious. They do not have a full liquor license but have a nice variety of tasty beer. read more

I really wanted to like this place. It's in a great spot on Cabot street. The Riverwalk brewery has decent beer. The food is decently priced and is good and service is friendly. However the last 2 time we went, the kitchen staff wasn't up to par. The first is they took too long. Fish and chips and chicken tenders shouldn't take too long to come out of the back. 30 minutes. We let it go because the food as decent. The next time, our server took the order and sent it to the kitchen. About 45 minutes later we still did not receive our food when others around who came later than us had. We called the server over and she became a bit frazzled and the owner came up to us. He checked it out and while he did comp the food and took it of our check and offered us a round of drinks, which as very kind and good service of him, we noticed that the kitchen crew as cleaning up and putting things away. We noticed this while we were waiting for our food for the evening, too. The explanation was was that the food was in the computer but there wasn't a slip in the kitchen. My assumption is the kitchen staff tossed it since they had been cleaning ip the entire hour we were there. Their social media page said that their kitchen closes at 9. Not 8:45. *Side note: the server was at the bar and not once did she check the kitchen to see if our order was ready. I also think her boyfriend showed up and was immediately served food after we had ordered and had been waiting. She talked to him and did some clean up, but again, never check on our food order. Like I said, I want to like the place, I want them to succeed. They have the better tasting beers out of all of the breweries in Beverly. However, I think that the kitchen staff needs more training If you're waiting on people and serving them food, you need to be more diligent and pay attention. Maybe it was a bad day or maybe they just have inexperienced restaurant workers. I would have given more stars for how the owner handled it and was kind to us, but I can't because of reasons stated above. read more

I guess going to a brewery for food was a mistake. There are good pub food choices but when you offer a beef pie with a porter sauce it should be juicy. The crust was not flaky and the meat was cold it tasted like it was microwaved prior to serving. Very unappetizing. The buffalo chicken sandwich was made on a hamburger bun nothing special. The service was out of this world good and if you want a handcrafted beer served with a smile definitely try them just don't look forward to the food. I don't drink but was impressed with the waiter and the rest of the staff. The hummus pate was good but the celery was wilted and stringy. It had a British themed decor which was nice. The food is definitely not the reason I return. read more

This new addition to cabot street is nothing to write home about. Average pub food and a British pub type environment. Some random selections on the menu you wouldn't expect and I wouldn't recommend taking a chance on (the Thai rainbow bowl) but for the typical pub fare - burgers, nachos etc - it's a good option and the trivia was a fun time. read more

I don't understand the overall bad reviews of this place. It is a perfectly acceptable little pub. Good beer selection, decent burgers, and friendly service. On a recent Saturday night, we received numerous apologies for the wait on our food. And we all shrugged at each other - the food didn't take long at all! read more

New British style pub in Beverly. Had some English bitters style beer (in a proper sized pint glass!!!). And some curry fries that were EXCELLENT!! I'll definitely get these again! Nice atmosphere just a little too "new" at this point. Needs a little "breaking in" period to give this place a lived-in vibe! Could use a few more tvs! read more

Wraps are dry and bland. Pizza was disappointing, soggy with sparse toppings. Service was OK. Drinks are EXPENSIVE even for the hospitality industry as a whole. On the positive, the atmosphere was positive when I was there with TV's and plenty of room to move around. read more

the food took too long the meat pie tasted like it was reheated and I think that the food took to long for the outcome of the food and it tasted bad in all. read more

we visited our old home area in the North Shore and discovered the Falconer Pub on Cabot. Wow! The fish nugs were so delicious because the batter was tempura-like, not too heavy. Our Caesar salad and crispy chicken sandwich were fantastic. Not to mention, the service was great, we didn't have to wait too long to get a table and our order. Highly recommended!!! read more

Great beer, pizza, & burgers! It's nice to have a place in town where you can eat and have a beer without spending an arm and a leg. On a recent visit, my husband and I each got a burger, I had a beer, and he had a cider cocktail. The bill was $40. Can't beat that! The burger was a decent size, I couldn't even finish it. read more

Had lunch at the Falconer, which is billed as an English style pub in downtown Beverly. While there are a few items on the menu that you'd find in a typical English pub, the remaining items are your typical New England bar food. No sausage and mashed, no Sunday pot roast, no Scotch egg nor steak and ale pie. There's an English style bitter on tap, but that's it. No cask conditioned ale. No English brand beers. It would have been fun to run the pub like in England where you go to the bar to order your drink and food, grab your beer, and wait at the table. Our server was great and very friendly. But did I feel like I was in a pub in the UK? The answer is No. Nice place, but nothing above average. read more

Given that I am British, I was expecting so much more from this place. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. For starters, the server came over and filled our water glasses which were already on the table. For some reason each water glass was only filled half full like they were rationing it !! They only serve beer and wine, not liquor which was fine for me because I wanted to try the beer, but my wife likes cocktails and had to settle for a "seltzer" instead. We ordered our food, my wife ordered wings and a salad, my son ordered fish and chips and I ordered the beef pie and chips. Drinks came out, but it took over 30 minutes for the food to come out. To be fair, the server brought an extra beer on the house to compensate for the slow food, but when it finally arrived, the beef pie was clearly re-heated from frozen and my son's fish was the same. Fries were just OK. My wife liked the wings, but the Caesar salad was more like Italian dressing with lettuce and the lettuce was not fresh. Overall a very mediocre meal and a huge disappointment. The place is also very noisy due to the high ceilings and lack of absorbent material - some ceiling panels would go a long way to making this a more "cozy" place to be. I don't think we will be returning - not the "pub" atmosphere that was promoted on the website and a significant drop in food quality from the previous establishment that was on these premises. Hopefully the owners will take note and improve the service and food quality and variety - don't serve re-heated frozen food !! Also adding liquor to the drinks menu would attract more customers who are not necessarily beer drinkers. read more
