Falmouth’s already thriving beer ‘scene’ (http://boakandbailey.com/2014/07/falmouth-a-beer-geek-destination/) has a (relatively) new addition in Mono (http://www.allhailmono.com/), a music-focused bar and gig venue on the corner of Killigrew Street.We first spotted it in July (https://twitter.com/BoakandBailey/status/617371324722319360)*but didn’t actually get chance to sit down for a drink until last weekend. This doesn’t constitute a review — we had one pint each during a quiet Friday lunchtime — but though it worth flagging.
It looks a bit like a BrewDog bar — doesn’t everything these days? — even down to those ubiquitous ‘craft’ light-bulbs, and has 10 keg taps as well as four for cask-conditioned beer mounted on the wall behind the bar.

On our visit, the keg offer included beers from Brew By Numbers, Wild Beer Co and Harbour Brewing, all priced at between £4-£4.70 per pint. The cask*tended*more to the traditional*and featured*Timothy Taylor Landlord and Bass (a Falmouth staple (http://boakandbailey.com/2014/03/the-seven-stars-falmouth/)) at a rather competitive £3 a pint, alongside Siren Liquid Mistress (£3.40) and Harbour Amber (£3.10). The Landlord was in good-as-Yorkshire condition.
Its owner, Peter Walker, is also behind the nearby Hand Bar and runs his own beer distribution operation. We visited both bars on Friday and were pleased to find different draught beers on offer in each. When we spoke to him briefly at Mono, he was keen to stress that it is a gig venue rather than targeted at beer geeks,*but if you’re pub crawling in Falmouth, and craving up-country beer, you’d be daft not to take a look.
