Over the course of the last week, I've tried Flanagans for both the first and second time ever. I must say that I've been relatively impressed with both their beer selection and their food offerings. I was at the Founder's festival last Thursday, and although I didn't try anything but Founder's ales, most of their beer selection seemed well-chosen and reasonably priced. I also went to their Guinness pre-St. Patrick's Day festivities today, and once again I was pleased with their offerings. The Upland's Ard Ri was especially nice.
In addition, the service was attentive and not overbearing and the food was high-quality pub-grub. The bison burger mignon, although delicious, very nearly killed me because I'm no longer accustomed to greasy food. The sweet potato fries that accompanied it were perfectly crispy and delicious. Tonight, I had a chicken sandwich topped with mushrooms, sauteed onions, and alfredo sauce with kettle chips on the side that was also very good for the $7 price tag. The service was also spot on; attentive but not over-bearing. Over all both of my experiences have been very pleasant, and I'm sure I'll visit again in the future.
