Falco Lounge in Barnsley

OK place to meet up . Nice & clean . More for families.

Service, atmosphere, cleanliness - all great. However, we went for food and this needed work. Been to a fair few Lounges before. Saw the diablo burger which I've not had before and thought I would give it a go. It needs some work. The burger was underseasoned. There was no sour, like a gherkin. There was no chilli, which I would expect from something called diablo. There was no crunch texture. More of a Lounge issue than a Falco problem I imagine though

Nice service, tasty food and good drinks

Lovely place to eat nice food very polite staff and value for money what more can you want.

Drinks are like paying for a second mortgage.

One again, another place we have found that you absolutely should not visit ... Because if you do... It will be a lot harder for us to go back again and eat. You really should be going here to eat. The food was outstanding! We tried the Shakshouka, bang bang chicken noodles, aubergine flatbread and a kids pizza (and a selection of drinks) The service was very fast and friendly, we ordered through the QR code menu whilst sitting up stairs. The drinks were with us within a couple mins and the food about 10 minutes after that and all the food came at once. All the dishes were amazingly tasty and so well cooked! Excellent portion sizes where you still had room for a desert if you wanted, but you weren't stuffed to the rafters, which we appreciated! The whole place has a lovely feeling to it and the staff really add to this with how friendly they all are. In drinks: we had a couple of non alcoholic cocktails (pina nolada and the cherry fakewell) they were beautiful, the pinot grigio on offer was probably the nicest my wife has ever had, whilst the iced salted caramel latte was best I've ever had! So please, please avoid going as I would like a chance to go back here sometime soon ha ha. If you haven't been yet... What are you even waiting for! You will not regret it!

Really good chain! lovely vegan options, nice tea, quality ingredients. yummy and healthy! Seat urself is super nice too. There was an item forgotten but the waiter was very nice about it c:

Nice and chill place with decent food.

called in for a breakie for the second time & the food & service is brilliant . well worth a visit

As others have stated, there was an obvious cleanliness issue as our table was filthy and floor sticky. Had to ask staff to clean it. 1pm on a Tuesday. Male staff member added fries without telling us they were extra. After explaining we weren't told this, he refused to make eye contact, even stopping to speak to another waiting customer whilst I awkwardly stood trying to pay. I had to put my cash on the bar for him to take payment. Rude and ignorant attitude with terrible customer service thrown in there as a bonus. After taking a seat we saw him excessively coughing, sneezing and doing this all over his arm and forearm. Literally wiping snot with his limbs. After realizing that he was serving food, I raised the issue to a female staff member who quite literally laughed from behind the bar, stating "at least he's doing it on his arm" which at that point made us want to walk out, but we had already paid as they take payment first... My avocado arrived on what I can only describe as HALF a slice of bread, completely black around the edges with purple cabbage (out of a jar) thrown on top, which didn't go with any of it. Three sliced cherry tomatoes, no feta as mentioned on menu and all on teeny tiny bread for £9.95?! Mum, visiting from America, had "Persian" lamb which I demolished as 1) she said it lacked any seasoning and 2) I was very hungry from what I would describe as the smallest brunch I've ever seen. Moral of the story - if you want to visit a filthy establishment and be greeted with a coughing/sneezing server, have little to no food on your plate and top it off with tragic customer service then I highly recommend this place. However, I personally wouldn't visit again and am shocked that after recent years that this person was allowed to serve food.

Always have a great meal, breakfast or lunch. I highly recommend Falco lunch to all my family and friends.

The food and service were nice. But they don't know how to make tea. If your teapot can fill three cups and you fill it completely, it needs at least 3 teabags, or it will be too diluted. Aside from that, it was a good experience.

Not as good as it was. Visited many times over the years and had some great meals. The portion sizes are smaller and the drinks dearer. A sign of the times maybe? Not many staff on either so longer waiting times. A real shame.

A lovely place in Barnsley. Very welcoming staff, great atmosphere inside & love the kitsch feel. Visiting for breakfast, the food was lovely & reasonably priced too. Will visit again when in Barnsley, hopefully to experience dinner too!

Great place, relaxed atmosphere, great food, great staff the only thing I would change is the portion size, and I'm only talking about a small increase in size and then I wouldn't be able to fault it at all 🙂

Came here for the expansive gluten free menu, the service and food was awesome, knowledgeable and extremely helpful staff (Jake and Jay). Would highly recommend a visit!!!

Excellent place to go for a drink or for lunch

£3.20 for a mediocre black coffee £3.30 for a coke

Portions were small not enough to share with friends

Great food, a certain unique vibe also great people and welcoming! Vibrant and also chill 🤙🏽

A diamond in the rough, my first visit here, but definitely not my last. The food was amazing and at a fair price. The team here are all lovely and the service was great. A lovely clean place too.

I grew up in Barnsley and havnt been here for 35 years. I am soooo impressed with the town in how it looks and how the people obviously have so much pride in the place. If only Portsmouth could show the same thought in each other. Falco lounge was bright, breezy and cool on the hottest day of the year so far. Great burger and such a pleasant place to sit.

Love this place great food and great atmosphere also very helpful staff and very up on allergies too

Food was okay for the price. Drinks and food were ordered together but our food arrived before our drinks. They were clearly left to sit on the bar for a while and we had to ask for them. Could not make a modification to the meal as the veg is “premixed” so likely a bought in veg mix. Ordered deserts but they didn’t arrive together or with the drink ordered, again the drink sat on the bar for an age. Staff were very busy moving guests so that they could cart plant pots in and out. The peach colada is just rum with ice so great for getting drunk but not a nice taste as you would expect with a cocktail, should have just had a few shots of rum. It would have been cheaper. In my partners words “it makes me sad” 😢

Called in here one Thursday as the place we were going to go to didn't 'do' food before 5pm. In the end we were very pleased with our adhoc choice. The staff were friendly, the service was good and the food was plentiful and tasty. I hadn't realised but 'Barnsley Live' was happening over the weekend, so I asked if I could book a table for Saturday teatime - no problem and I was also advised to use their app on Saturday to order our food as the bar area was expected to be very busy. Roll on to Saturday and I am pleased to say that everything ran smoothly. Our reserved table was downstairs, so I asked if we could be relocated upstairs. The staff checked for available tables, and we were soon sitting by the windows upstairs - great result. There was a great atmosphere in the lounge and 'Barnsley Live' was in full swing in Glass Works Square (which you could see from the Falco Lounge). Being very busy didn't impact on the delivery of our food to the table, which was again in good time. It was also tasty and plentiful. Definitely would go to the Falco Lounge again - got some other menu options to give a try 😊.

Best flat white I've ever had, staff were friendly and Abbie and Lauren went above and beyond in making fill welcome 5* it was very busy and everyone looked like they were enjoying them selfs

Great food at a reasonable price! This place has a lovely atmosphere! The Shakshouka is a must try (have it with Chorizo) - 10/10!

Great food. My Grandkids love eating here. Always empty plates. Staff are so friendly. 👌

A good place to sit outside on a warm dry day. The cappuccino tasted different to any that I have had before and was rather weak, I couldn't finish that beverage.

Gorgeous food and friendly staff 😋

We have been to the one in Bristol a couple of times, this is just as good. The service is quick and food was very tasty. One down side from the party we went as, ordering was via an app but one of the couples struggled getting the payment through but could order at the bar.

Service staff friendly. Tapas not worth the money. Everything seems a little watered down. £40 is 75% percent inflation. How was the lime watered even down? Good news, the lemon isn't. Cold chocolate for churros. Tip: don't order the tapas if you're hungry.

My wife absolutely loves it when we call in the Falco lounge for coffee which we do at least once a week. For a change last Friday morning we had a vegan breakfast which we both enjoyed followed by carrot cake and coffee. The service is good the atmosphere is very welcoming. The staff are really helpful.

First time having something to eat,no complaints at all, value for money....

Lovely food, It can get a bit busy around lunchtime. Would recommend

Lovely food and friendly staff.

We had a lovely lunch today and want to bring our grandchildren later in the week beacuse our visit was so excellent. The girl who chatted to us when we came in was very nice and helped us decide what we wanted by recommending the soup of the day which my husband had. He loved his little cup of soup and said his sandwich was crunchy and tasty. He's not a fan of spice so this was the best meal for him. I decided to treat myself with eggs benedict with mushrooms and spinach which is now my new favourite way to eat spinach. The waitress who had been serving us was funny and kind. She made sure we were having a good meal when she brought us some water so I could have my medication. Bless her. They got busy a few times while we sat and enjoyed the atmosphere but the staff were always smiling. She said we could leave a review using something on the table but I don't like all them code things so I said I'd write a review on my computer. She also gave us a paper with her name on so we could mention her but we've lost it.

A fantastic place for breakfast in the middle of barnsley. Can't recommend it enough!

First visit to Barnsley since market reopened, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was complemented nicely with the lunch special of soup and a half panini. A great deal . The service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxing. Thank you .

As it was a family birthday, for once we had more than a drink at this dog friendly bar lounge. As a light lunch; We had the Skakshuka, Flatbread with Beetroot and Feta, Lounge Eggs. All were good and were washed down with Elderflower Spritzer, Merlot and Diet Tonic (for the driver). Add in friendly staff and it was a pleasant experience.

Great place, lovely food, separate gluten-free menu, lots of precautions for food sensitivities/allergies - big thumbs up for that!

We absolutely love coming here as a family. Food Is good, prices are fair and atmosphere is lovely. Our go-to restaurant when we're out in Barnsley centre.

Food was disappointing and expensive

Very, very nice. I have no problem in recommending the café.

Really nice food, great staff, all in all nice time we had here

A wonderful place serving great and tasty food. Service was great and efficient. Would definitely come here again. 👍😋

Popped in for a coffee, very relaxing and felt comfortable on my own

Brilliant vegan menu. Quirky place and friendly staff.

The food was great. We decided to eat here because the vegan and gluten free options were good. We were in town for the national kickboxing tournament and it seemed like a great option. The problem was when the food was brought up to the loud announcement of "WHO IS THE VEGAN????", maybe a bit of banter? When I said it was me he said that he hated vegans. He proceeded to try and joke about vegans with the other 6 members of our party and he ended up just seeming like a clown without an audience. One of my friends told him he should probably watch himself but he continued anyway. He compared vegans to people who drink decaff, while a poor attempt at humour he's basically admitting he hasn't the slightest idea what veganism is. I don't pay for food and expect a berating from the staff who have no idea what they are trying to even joke about. Just very poor boomer humour. Would have been 5 stars all round otherwise. The food was great. Everyone was friendly until the weird vegan bashing started. I wouldn't be in the mood for it on a regular day, let alone hours before my fight. Do better next time. Hate people who try to make ethical choices all you want but keep that childish behaviour to yourself.

Always have a good time at Falco, an excellent burger and an excellent gluten free menu, would that all the places intarn were as good, or interested.

Such a cool place to have a coffee with someone.

Nice place to have a drink definitely visit again

just had a lovely family meal here tonight . food, atmosphere and staff was excellent thank you

I come here once every couple of months and the service and atmosphere is always good. The veggie / vegan menu is great with done really good choices. This time I visited, I had bang bang cauliflower and it was delicious. I like that you can order from the table. Nice place to eat in town.

Really nice pub restaurant in the centre of town. Relaxed atmosphere, great food & drink, quirky decor & lovely service from friendly staff make it the perfect place to visit any time of day.

A lovely glass of wine and 3 Tapas. Took me from humble Barnsley to the costa del sol. Just a shame the Falco lounge couldn’t have provided the sunshine. Absolutely superb. 6/5

Food was lovely it just was pretty busy so the drinks service was quite slow. Hopefully this was a one off and we would enjoy visiting again!

First visit here today. Lovely clean surroundings, and efficient staff. However, I was rather underwhelmed by the food. I had a cumberland sausage sandwich which consisted of two nice sausages, but on two thin slices of basic white bread which was past it's best and going hard. Also ordered a portion of fries, these were okay, although a bit cold and not very plentiful. I would go again for a drink but probably would not order food.

New Year’s Day we ordered food which was delicious the service was fantastic and really quick. Would definitely recommend eating here or even a drink.

Wouldn't recommend. Food wasn't good quality and tasted like it had been cooked in old fat. Pricing was expensive too Floor is divided between different levels making access for anyone with mobility issues awkward. *Edit* Forgot to mention that our party was also accused of not having paid for meals that were ordered, an accusation that was continued despite proof of payment (Google Pay transaction receipt) being provided.

Food is awesome recommend to anyone

Nice peace of cake and lovely latte

Not impressed with the company's management. 3 staff front of house running around like loons, one person taking orders and making drinks at the same time, all while huge queue waiting to get in and then to be served. Dread to think what it's like in the kitchen!! This happens all the time on my visits so obviously cost cutting method.Poor staff. Also soft drink for our children consisted a glass FULL of ice for £3 and dripple of pop, another cost cutting method. The food was only average, which is understandable considering the pressure they must be under. The sweet corn & cheese friters on the veggie breakfast were far too spicy for children and some adults to eat, with no reference to spices and chillies on menu, tried to discuss this with the overrun member of staff but just got waffle. Overall disappointed. Falco management company do better!!

Menabrea on draught was enough to entice me in. Top marks all round.

I've been a few times just for drinks and had a lovely time with the atmosphere. Today I went in for food with my partner and dog. The food was amazing and great value. They also went out of their way to cook my dog some plain chicken, put it in a dog bowl and serve it with our food. When I thanked the lady she said "it's the least I could do", which made me feel even my most ridiculous request (a meal with my dog) was nothing! I cannot recommend enough

I ordered 'Rosie's Truffle Chicken' which was quite tasty, but I had to really search to find any chicken in it. In the end I found three very miniscule pieces. The name of the dish and the description are extremely misleading and at over £12 it is very overpriced for what is basically potatoes in a mushroom sauce. I was offered an alternative dish, but was short of time so didn't take up the offer.

Lovely breakfast hot and tasty Really good coffee

Always a relaxed atmosphere in this chain and Barnsley is no different. Location is great and always welcoming. We regularly stop for tapas to share, which is tasty and a drink. Could be considered a little pricey, but I guess everywhere is at the moment!?

Some great alternative largers would fully recommend

Didn't have any food this time. nice place to take the dog in a great atmosphere, staff very friendly and helpful.

Lovely place, service was really good, I have asked for a top up of my lemonade because the glass was full of ice, and the lady was really helpful 😀

First visit with my 1 year old grandson. The staff were very friendly and welcoming which I appriciated.

DIRT EVERYDAY!!! And everywhere! On the tables, on the floors ! STUFF ARE RUDE AND THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO TALK WITH PEOPLE Expecially that Fat woman who don't know how to dress. It's so hard to wipe it off some tables?! After people go ?! Very difficult or disinterested!

Excellent food, impeccable service. Very impressed!

Great place. Barnsley Town centre is amazing now

Lovely atmosphere, lovely drinks and great menu!

I went into the Falco Lounge this morning for a coffee. I had my 4kg mini dachshund with me. I sat indoors with Walter my dog, he was sat on my knee when a worker approached me and said "all 4 paws must be on the ground" I replied "okay I will sit oudoors". I went outside and waited for the coffee. A man brought out the coffee, I asked for sugar, he just tutted and walked off....so rude. My little dog jumped on my knee, then the woman who spoke to me indoors about Walter came out and said "all 4 paws must also be on the floor outdoors due to allergies"(nobody was sat within 10 feet of me, Walter had an arran jumper on with just his head on show....so no hairs going anywhere, plus he does not malt). Then to Cap it all the coffee was FREEZING cold!!! This is not a dog friendly place....in fact not anything friendly place. I will not be visiting there again....definitely the 5 star Old George for us next time.

Excellent place all round great staff great food 👍

Best breakfast so far been here both Saturday and Sunday, same time next week 🙌

Not so good staff need to be re trained in customer service

Lovely food lots of variety great place 🤗

I usually really enjoy my visits here but I went this lunchtime and was disappointed by the experience. I loved the sesame chicken noodle salad but the portion was so small! I probably had 5 pieces of chicken the size of a ten pence piece. The whole salad was way smaller than one of the salads from any of the supermarkets. At £12.50 that was definitely not good value for money. What a shame........

Fab place to go for great food. Always a pleasure to pop in when I'm in town

I love it here. The decor is quirky and interesting, the staff are friendly and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. They also have a great range of GF options.

Went to a sip and create class. Found it good that I could order from my seat while I continued with the watercolour class

Nice atmosphere. They had a small area for kids to play. I appreciate that because my daughter let me enjoy my coffee in peace.

Pleasantly surprised by this place. Good setting on the square. We ate outside on a warm day. The service was excellent and the food - a mezze salad bowl and a chicken noodle salad - very enjoyable.

Lovely food, friendly staff and nice selection of drinks. Probably avoid table 6 as it's right next to toilet, but will be back for food again 👍

Really good experience at Falco Lounge this morning. We reserved a table for 10 people, staff were friendly and positive, food was delicious and some of the portion sizes were very generous! Thanks so much, as my nephew said 'best pancakes he had ever had'

Friendly service good food, As soon as I clicked my order, They came with side plates. Within 5/10 mins our Tapas was served very well cooked and very tasty just what we needed.

Had a seat upstairs in the lounge, it was packed downstairs as it was raining, seating outside for when its dry. Decent food but slightly pricey.

Best place in town for a small bite to eat love the Bacon Sandwich

Chilled, relaxed atmosphere which serves well priced drinks. Sociable place to meet friends!

This place has never let me down when I've gone with friends or family for something to eat or just called in for a drink. The staff are always pleasant and meets you with a smile and a warm hello.

Excellent, friendly service and delicious food. Very clean

Last time I went in this was the new year and I haven't been in since. Member of staff was rude when I asked about the cocktails as they had changed since last time I had been in. After ordering and she took the money she blately rolled her eyes and this was a member of management! Used to like going in here but never again. I'll spend my money at places with better hospitality.

Food was very nice Drinks quite expensive ?

We went to Falco lounge this evening as family of 5 (myself being Gluten Free). First things first, nowhere I have ever eaten has had such a amazing choice of gluten free options. Most other places offer less than an A5 side of GF options but here I got a full A3 menu with loads of options and they are clearly very clued up on how allergies should be dealt with! I chose the pulled brisket chilli with chorizo and it was beautiful. Everyone else enjoyed their meals and the kids meals came with a free drink and a little starter of carrots cucumber and hummus which was a nice touch. The atmosphere was calm and the decor was quirky and unique. We will definitely be returning here and I've heard they do takeaway too which I'll definitely use given the limited GF choices from other takeaways. Thanks for a nice family meal!!

Great choice of food with a good selection of vegan dishes.

Excellent food and great service but I really object to being asked for a tip when ordering online (but at the table), before the food is served. Let's not end up like the USA!
