Ipswich Falcon
formerly Bowman's, Tonic, Bar Pl@tinum
Real Ale is sold here.
Reopened late October 2018 after renovation, with its historical name restored. But closed suddenly in mid-September 2019. It seems to have since reopened but trading appears, according to reports, to be sporadic. If you have any concrete information please let us know.
There are two handpumps, though it seems rare more than one is in use; quite often no Real Ale appears to be available.
Live music every Friday.
