Had a pint of HSB, which wasn't brilliant, but was cheap compared to my local in Harrow.
Seems to be a local's pub, and was pretty empty on a sunny August afternoon.

Basic and decent no frills pub near the town centre that did a good pint of Eagle(? in the Falcon) IPA at a very agreeable �2.50 a pint. Despite being on holiday and apart from our first visit of the week when we went back the landlord remembered what we were drinking. That is something that always gets a few plus points as far as I'm concerned.

Decent pub in Shanklin, mainly a locals pub but OK for tourists too.

One open plan drinking area served by a single bar, can't remember the selection of real ale on offer but pint I had was good.

Busy for early evening that we were in.

Average street corner town centre local. The Goddards Fuggle de Dum was a bit cloying but the HSB was okay. Has a pool table to the rear.

Go there when I visit a friend. Always felt welcome eventhough I'm no local. Seen the occasional arsehole, but you get at least one in every pub, drunk or sober.

Basic local's pub with beer from Fullers(so expensive). Had a nice pint of HSB.

Three ales, SN Spitfire, Fullers London Pride and (Gales) HSB. The quality varied quite a bit on separate visits. Interesting mixture of clientele.

About the only pub in Shanklin that is a pub and not a sports bar or restaurant.

Acceptable Tanglefoot on pretty boring pub. Reasonable pool table.

The Falcon or "Falc's" as it is known by its affectionate name by the locals is a great pub to go to for a chat and a session. Lee "THE TRUCKER" Crane the cheeky little (phsically large) bar keep is always there to tell you crap jokes you heard ten years ago. i would recommend a visit to anyone who is out for a booze up and a good laugh.
