I was recommended to the Falcon by a patron dining at another restaurant. I noticed he was having the fish and chips there and I inquired as to how he liked them. He said they were good but the best fish and chips could be found at Ye Olde Falcon Pub. OK, I thought. Good tip.
Just returned from the Falcon and I have to say I was a little disappointed. I walk in at around 6 pm on a Saturday, and the place is empty. Uh oh, I thought, not a good sign especially since their website claims Happy Hour until 7 pm. I sit by myself at the bar and a cute, friendly bar maid comes over to take my drink order. Service was average, but I did have to get her attention while she was yakking with another employee.
I'm here, so I have to order the fish and chips, which I did. It came out fairly quickly....nobody else in the place.....and plopped in front of me was 3 smallish cod portions on top of a small bed of thick cut fries. Along side was a thimble full of their "home made" cole slaw and some tartar sauce. Now I'm thinking for $13 this must be only half of it and the rest is coming later. Nope, that was it.
I'm still trying to figure out what Happy Hour was. 2 draft pints were $6, the same price posted on the menu.
The food was OK, but I sure wouldn't send anyone else there looking for the best fish and chips. Service was OK, but the bar maid was cute.
All in all not what I was expecting. It wasn't a horrible experience, but not worth going back.
this pub has been open since 1989 (that's as old as me) so I like it for that, I like that it's family owned and operated, I like the great beer selction. I don't like the prices, I don't like the food, and I don't like the old dart boards that SERIOUSLY need to be replaced with new ones, come on people! Over-all this is a solid pub, a-ok for me.
Review Source:I guess if you're a 20-something, it would be alright. Â I was the oldest person in the place. Â And you'd better be a 20-something with a good job, as it wasn't cheap. Â They gave me the wrong credit card, which I didn't realize until the next morning when I was on the plane back to PA.
Review Source:A local college town bar with an assortment of beers and douchebags. This place is pretty meh, I can't really say anything great about it. It is a place on Earth with chairs and beer....one star for chairs and one star for beers.
Reasons for deducting stars:
The bathroom always smells like diarrhea
It smells weird in the rest of the bar
The food is overpriced
I know everyone raves over the fish and chips, but I did not think it was very good
Most of the staff is meh, and some are super mega friendly.
Wait staff is constantly pushing you to close your tab. I understand that they probably have a lot of people who run out on their tab, but you can't assume that of everyone.
years ago..........this place was fantastic...it truly was. Â not anymore. Â If Todd's family is still involved...I'd be shocked because they ran it extremely well.
3 of us (all over 40) stopped in for a few drinks & a late dinner. Â yes it's a bar...but it's also a restaurant. Â we were sitting at a table....three 40 yr old guys. Â we ordered our food, the waitress asked if the bills were all together or separate, we said just keep it on 1 tab & we'll split it. Â She left to place the order then she brought us the bill to pay.
Has anyone had to pre pay for food at a restaurant before? Â So we paid. Â Then ordered another round...which we had to pay immediately for again...and we had 3 different waitresses who apparently never spoke to each other.
Finally we ask if we can run a tab or do something so we dont have to keep hearing her say "That'll be $6.62"
They only get a 2nd star because the fish on the fish n chips was really good. Â the chips part was not good.
Red flag alert! This is a douchebag hangout. My wife and I went on Sunday night/ Monday morning and the place was packed. Luckily, we were able to get a couple of seats at the bar. A couple of guys were nice enough to move down a stool to allow both my wife and I to sit down. So I decided to be nice and start a conversation with the guy. I noticed he had a couple of tapers (one in each lobe). They were cheesy-looking blue swirl acrylic tapers. So I ask the guy, "Hey, man. How far are you planning to stretch those?" The guy proceeds to go off on a speech about how he is going to be a lawyer, he just took the LSAT, his lobes can't go past 00g (they are at 0g), blah blah blah. Shut the fuck up, man! You're not going to be a lawyer, dick. If you just took the LSAT, you're going to be a law school student. Second, don't be such a bitch and stretch the lobes if you really want to - be a maverick and blaze a trail. If you get shit for it, don't sweat it. Society at large is full of dipshits anyways.
Later on, a guy and his female companion sit down a few stools away from us. I see the guy drinking a dark brownish beer that looked like Newcastle. Again, I decide to be nice and start a conversation so I ask the guy, "Is that Newcastle you're drinking?" His genius reply, "Nah. This is (? - I can't remember what he said). I only drink European beer." Okay you snooty fuck. Where the hell do you think Newcastle is from?! It's from England, Magellan!
Service was mediocre at best. The prices were high. I'll stick to my dive bars and seedy establishments.
"Meh" pretty much sums this one up. I went here with a friend on recommendation from a few people. I was underwhelmed.
I had the chicken wrap. My friend had the grouper (I think?) fingers. Neither was particularly good. I'd say the worst of the two was the fish. My friend couldn't even finish it.
Both of us were carded even though neither of us were drinking. That was strange. The servers were friendly enough, but incredibly annoying. It seemed like not even 5 minutes would pass between the stops at our table.
The people there were a little creepy.
I wouldn't put this place at the top of my list of revisits, that's for sure.
So here are a list of the things I've experienced at Falcon Pub & would like to share with you all (I come here quite a bit):
1. College kids flood the outside area.
2. Fish & Chips are delicious! Highly recommend.
3. Whatttt?! An old couple making out and the woman just flashed her boobs to the entire place?!!
4. Some dude is playing with fire outside...?
5. Yummm! Shepherds Pie!
6. Good ol' bar music
7. My girlfriend and I ordered the Reuben and got a turkey sandwich? Huh? Asked the waitress why we got this and she didn't even know what a Reuben is?
8. Drinks are always delicioso!
As you can see... Ye Olde Falcon Pub and I have seen quite a bit... the good, the bad & the ugly, BUT! I love me them pubs!
I've only had the fish and chips and the sheppards pie but tis good, tis real good.
The fish and chips is a bit expensive to me but you get a big chunk of fish that you can tell is meaty and good quality. Â go on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> and get the coupon. Â makes the meal a lot more reasonably priced. Â sheppards pie is good, tis nothing left to say.
love,

Eat on my Friends!
I used to love this place, it is always a great atmosphere and cool people to meet, but I think it is waaaaaay overpriced compared to other places, but even more for what you get. That I could take but what really made me change my mind was that the last 3 times I was there the service was horrible! They have 4 bartenders at the bar that don't know what they are doing, and like another review I read... Yes they do treat you like you were at the DMV. Last time I was there the plates were never picked up until we pretty much cleaned for them, by the time they asked if I wanted another beer I already wanted to leave and it took 20 min until one of the 4 bartenders in the tiny bar actually paid attention and finally gave us the check. So go. Eat, drink, but don't expect good service, I used to be a regular but now I can say that probably I won't go back, used to be a great place back in the day... They need to get their act together.
Review Source:Ye Olde is my go-to bar when I'm imbibing in Plantation. Â I like it for several reasons but basically it's just a nice casual place to chill.
They've got a bunch of craft beers on tap which is my bread and butter. The prices are a little more expensive than other bars in the area but I think Ye Olde offers a larger selection than surrounding bars. If you come on a weekday, you probably won't have to fight for a seat or table. Â Between the spots at the bar, tables and booths you won't have to fret about standing. Â I normally don't eat bar food, but I've eaten here for lunch a handful of times and I remember it being good. If you have hankering for something sweet, ask for "Funnel Cake Sticks". They're not on the menu and they're terrible for you but SO GOOD.
The only thing that I really don't like about this place is that they have a Rock Band night. I have no desire to watch Rock Band in a living room, much less a bar. Â Other Yelpers refer to it as "epic" and "cool" so to each his own. Â Some people like their cucumbers pickled.
I would give this place 4 stars, except the service is very inconsistent. Sometimes they are super nice and attentive while other times I feel like I'm at the DMV.
The only  thing I like about the place. Is the fish and chips
There is nothing really British  about the place anymore except for some of the beers
It does not even promote British sports
It is actually the closest bar to Dolphin training camp with no atmosphere.
I wish this place would get  better it was a great British pub once.
Something about Falcon Pub just makes me annoyed. Â I haven't had any identifiably bad experiences here, but I just don't enjoy the atmosphere whatsoever. Â Their pitchers are smaller than you'll find at other places, and higher priced. Â They also have a $10.00 minimum on credit cards, which I think is silly. Â One of my friends was ID'd for no reason when we were just sitting outside having a cigarette, which was strange. Â As other reviewers have mentioned, the karaoke here can range from "good" to "please amputate my ears." Â
All in all, I'd suggest going elsewhere, as I will be doing myself from now on. Â I have given this bar a few chances and it never fails to disappoint.
Made a random stop here on a Tuesday night for a beer with a buddy after enjoying a hookah at the lounge next door. Â Cool pub - juke box, pool table, dart board, lively atmosphere, and plenty of table space. Â Bartender ladies were nice, offered a sample of a beer I was curious about, lots of options on tap. Â Two beers @ $18.....
No complaints, just a comment: a frosty beer mug would have been delightful. Â Â Again, this was an impromptu visit outside of my local area, I rarely venture over to the west side of town, and for good reason.
Ok guys ..first review ever! Â Here I go ...
I came here on a Monday night, a bit after 9pm and met up with a buddy for drinks. Â There's a few tables outside for the smokers, and inside it seemed pretty lively. Â There was a decent amount of room at the bar. Â We got pitchers (they have a good amount of beer on tap)
After some drinking and chatting, I notice that they started doing KARAOKE! Â I know not every karaoke experience is the same, but the people that went up there that night did a really good job. Â Played good songs, and even sang em well also(metallica, lady gaga are the ones I can remember off the top of my head). Â The place definitely started getting more packed as the night went on.
The crowd is casual and attractive. Â The bar service was good. Â Overall a great experience, and it was my 2nd time ever there. Â I will definitely check it out again, especially on Monday nights!
I have to agree with my fellow yelpers - this place really needs a half star. A solid four stars on food and drink. The kitchen is open till 4am, and they have killer fish n' chips. They also have Sea Dog Blueberry on tap (swoon).
That said, the service is hit or miss, the brews are pricey, and my friends and I have gotten some poor pints on more than one occasion. We actually avoid Yuengling here, because it always seems to taste "off".
Still, I have had some good times here, so I do think it's worth checking out, especially for the pub grub.
I have driven by this pub many times and never decided to stop in, because I am more familiar with other pubs in the area, so I tend to go with the safer choice. I finally decided to pop in on a Friday night, the motivation being that the parking lot was not that full and my husband and I didn't feel like waiting for a booth for a long time.
Boy were we pleasantly surprised. My husband had been here years ago (it was his first experience with bangers and mash), but I guess he came for lunch, so he was in a rush and didn't get to chill and enjoy the myriad of high alcohol content beers.
I am usually wary of pub grub, but I gave it a shot. I was in the mood for a salad, and was pleased to see them on the menu. I was initially nervous, because most the items that popped out at me were deep fried or really fattening, so I was hoping that the salads wouldn't be too heavy. I went for the Skirt Steak Salad and OHMYGOSH can I just tell you I was thoroughly impressed!! The meat was so tender, which is unusual for a steak salad, where they usually give you grissly cuts or at least not the best cuts of meat. I was in awe. ANd it was very fiiling too, and so flavorful I didn't have to use dressing. Amazing.
Now let's move onto the booze. I originally ordered a vodka-soda, my usual safe choice. But then I looked at the beer menu and loved the high alcohol contents of the beers. I usually don't drink beer when out and about, especially when I'll be eating, since beer fills me up so much. One or two beers will do the trick, folks. With names like Delirium Tremens and Panic Attack, you know their beers pack a punch. And they're delicious too. Can't go wrong.
I also like that it's spaceous and the waitresses are super friendly and sweet. I would definitely go again. I was kinda torn on yelping this because I liked how empty it was, lol but the world must know of its awesomeness. I hope this isn't a single isolated wonderful experience, since I'm not seeing many 4's on here, so I promise to yelp back if anything changes.
Man what is with all the Falcon hate on here!! The food could use some improvement, but it's your typical neighborhood bar... What do you really expect, filet mignon? There's a very large beer selection, there are darts and some game nights. I've always had a good night out at this place and I'll def keep going back. I will, however, concede to the haters that this is definitely not a sports bar by any means.
Review Source:Ah Ye Olde---places like you make me wish Yelp had half stars!! Interesting little place. I just went for drinking purposes and while the staff was friendly, it seemed like they were out of everything early on in the evening. Um, they were out of Bud Light.....on a Saturday night! Bud Light, really? Then tried to order some other drinks and they were out of a few beers in their huge selection of drafts. And that didn't sit well with this girl or the bartenders--it took forever to get any kind of drink and they seemed frazzled for the most part.
Not sure if it was just a typical Saturday night in this place or what but I would be willing to go back again on a week night or to try their food. It seems like the kind of place that would have solid bar food.
This place has some of the best Fish & chips I've had in South Florida. Â The give three large pieces of batter fried cod with a ton of steak fries. Â Their clam chowder is not always the same but if they have the right cook it is as good as being in New England. Â It's creamy with lots of clams and potatoes. Â The decor is definately college dive themed. Â I don't mind but it is not the place to go on a date. Â Don't expect great service. Â The staff are too young to really give a care. Â It has been adequate but quality of the food makes up for that.
Review Source:The four stars I am giving this place is strictly based on the huge selection of beer and the fact that they have Spaten Optimator on tap! I love the beer and the bartenders are friendly and have helped me in selecting different brews to try. Everybody on here is pretty on point with how loud the music is and crappy as well. Â Also there are some douchebags and tools that come in as a result of so many schools nearby. Â Same result with Magnum P.I. at the door starring at I.D.'s like he can decode them. But like I said the reason I like this place is because of the ton loads of beer they have on tap. The beer is not cheap, depending on the beer it costs on average $7 for beer.
Review Source:I enjoy this place. Â They have a good selection of beers and their food is pretty good too.. Â I love how their kitchen is open until 4am while most places close their kitchens much earlier. Â If you go, definitely try the funnel cake sticks with both the raspberry and chocolate sauces. Â Fried dough is always an occasion for yumminess. Â There's also cool things like Rock Band night.
Review Source:Hit this bar twice for some drinks with NSU friends. Â The atmosphere is cool for a pub, and the crowd and staff are really friendly. Â
Their Rockband nights during the week are epic! Â Make up a band name, and go up and play with friends or randos. Â
The beer prices are standard from what I've seen - about $6 for import draft or $8 for a domestic pitcher.  Though I just moved here from canada a few weeks ago and I'm not  fully acquainted with the bar prices here :P
Either way, both times I've been, I've had an awesome time. Â Go check it out!
Foods good and the beer selection is fantastic, but...having two beers and a plate of shepherds pie for $30 bucks is kind of pricey. Probably won't go back, unless I'm ok with paying 7 bucks for a beer. Here was the run down of my bill. 2 Rogue Ales $14, shepherds pie $10, $1 dollar to go order surcharge plus taxes were $27. and change. I threw them $30 for a small tip since the service wasn't fantastic anyway. I know craft beer is expensive but come on guy. Also the shepherds pie was delicious but it wasn't a huge amount and I expected more. Â Come on bro, it's mostly mashed potatoes with ground beef. It's not that expensive to make. Â Food was good and the beer was delicious, so if you have money to burn, this place is good.
Review Source:Great selection of beers. They can get quite pricey. Has a nice homey feel on weekdays (Quiet). The fish and chips aren't too bad with a cold beer. I would recommend checking it out at least once. The food can also get pricey. The atmosphere is pretty awesome considering its in the middle of Davie. The staff are also pretty friendly and love striking up a conversation. Along with the food, the drinks tend to be a little pricey. But if you like a good craft beer, you won't mind paying a little extra.
Review Source:So, I'm a little torn.
They have a good beer selection. Their nachos were tasty. The service was friendly - and quick - we brought in a crowd of 20 on a Monday and they did just fine with us, but...
My friend was looking to try a new beer. I suggested Abita's Purple Haze. She got a VERY small sample, maybe half an ounce? The beer was sour. It tasted like a tap or a line or maybe the keg had a problem. We told the bartender (manager/owner?) that the beer was sour and he probably had a problem with the tap...
without tasting the beer, smelling the beer, or even looking at the tap he said: "No. Our taps are clean. Our bartenders keep them clean and do a great job."
While I don't doubt that, there could still be a problem elsewhere. I was pretty disappointed that he didn't even look at / smell / taste the beer.
If you go, taste a sample before you buy a pint, even if you know you like the beer.
Focus, people, focus! This place needs to get its act together.
What this place has is decent British staples like fish & chips, bangers & mash, and shepards pie. Also, a decent size beer on tap and overall beer list. What it lacks is a consistent theme and consistent service. The place is plastered in beer signs and some retro paraphernalia and has a few TVs scattered here and there. Its somewhere between a British pub and a sports bar, and then sometimes it puts on airs of being a club (some nights there appears to be a bouncer. Really?) Oh yeah, and one evening, there was a party there with kids and they were handing out balloons. Wha?
The service is friendly sometimes and rude others. Often to usually, service is on the slow side and only moderately attentive. Most of the time, the music in here is stupid loud, but sometimes not. The prices seemed typical for the area, which is to say high for someone not from South Florida.
It's...well, you take your chances on what you're going to get here.
So I may be more of a lounge kinda gal, but this bar was cool. Very laid-back and reasonably priced. The music being played that night was really good too. And even though there were a bunch of TVs, it didn't interfere with the tunes which was a plus. As for the service, the wait staff was fast and friendly.
Despite living further south I'd stop in again if I was int he area. Also, hi5 for clean bathrooms (Girls you know that's a give-or-take star in itself).
Rang in the new year at Falcon Pub this morning. Â I like this place. Sal, the owner is so friendly and warm and the overall atmosphere was comfortable. typical sports bar theme with great beer selection. There's even a place where one could sing karaoke...badly. Oooooh the shepherd's pie is to die for!!
Review Source:Its funny how they are trying to go with the sports bar theme as they would do better with the "hey im the cool local dive bar." They have a decent selection of beers and the fish and chips are pretty good,but way to expensive for what it is. The doorman/bouncer idea needs to go as well.Overall nothing special, you want a great bar go to Kingshead a little bit north on University Dr.
Review Source:Went for fish and chips last night. Â Three pieces of cod battered up and fried. Â Big steak fries but not enough of them. They had an extensive beer selection on tap. The decor was wood with the usual Guiness and Harp signs everywhere.
 Price was high, $15 out the door for fish and chips?  I drank water for crying out loud. Â
 My waitress was not happening.  Dining alone I was subjected to a basketball game on the TV, thankfully the sound was turned down.  This place has the wanna-be-a-sports-bar thing going full steam.  It felt like I was in a cave surrounded by beer advertisments.
Went here last night to meet up with some people from work. Â It was very enjoyable. Â The staff was very friendly and they had a great selection of beers. Â It was my first time there, but I'll definitely go again when I'm in the neighborhood. Â I tried the Falcon Ale (a couple times), tasty beer, along the lines of a Newcastle. Â A few of the people I was with had food and really enjoyed it.
