The Falcon, Lincoln

We used to make this pub our first port of call on our way into town following a couple of hours in the nearby Rileys, however, after this weekends performance by the door staff this will no longer be the case.
A group of us travelled about 40 miles for a night out in Lincoln, and were dipped off at the Falcon. The door staff proceeded to advise us that as a group of 11 we were not welcome, bearing in mind that this is the first pub of the night at 8pm. As a result of this we moved into town and had a couple of drinks elsewhere. 4 of us then returned to the Falcon only to be refused again, to which my response was "do you mind if I ask why", to which the door staff replied that we looked half cut and in no uncertain terms should take our custom elsewhere. This is exactly what we did as not to ruin our night out.
The pub itself tends to get quite busy, and drinks are quite reasonable, again, only tarred by door staff spoiling for a fight.
If your face fits there is a good chance you will enjoy this venue with it's ample, sheltered outdoor area. I for one will not be returning.
