Flannery’s Pub

I wasn’t expecting anything much more than an irished themed Applebee’s…but I was wrong. The food was very good (I got the corned beef dinner, and BF got Sheppard’s pie). And I washed it down with a slice of chocolate cheesecake. Service was great, too.

You know the places you frequent because of the people? This is one of those places. The bartenders are just amazing, and the atmosphere is exactly what you’re looking for when you go into an Irish pub– there’s always a lively, fun crowd, and cozy pub feel. They’ve got a great patio too…
Do yourself a favor and come early when they have live music, so you can get a good seat.

Great atmosphere and service. Real Irish bar setting. Fun watching games there! Have to try the rueben with tater tots.

Great place for Happy Hour and lunch! Great fish and chips and the Old Bay wings are awesome! Good atmosphere and good service.

Wow this place was great. I had the spicy garlic wings. They were delicious and they were a nice size and juicy too, not those little pigeon ones, We often find.
I had the garlic burger it was also delicious and cooked to order. Here is why only 4 stars. The burger did not reach the edge of the bun! This is a pet peeve of mine. A burger should get to the edge all the way around. Nothing worse than an empty bun.
They have a great selection of draft and bottled beer.
The staff was prompt and courteous, for a Thursday they were quite busy.

We spent New Year’s Eve there. A nice place overall, our waitress was very friendly and helping.
The plates are pretty big and not too expensive. I do recommend 3 variations of burgers: Flannery’s, Prospect and Pub.
You can choose tater tots instead of regular fries. they are good!
the do have a couple of european beers (I appreciated the presence of Chimay!!).

Stopped in here before going to a hockey game and I did like the place! It’s nice and big and has a lot going on «visually». It wasn’t too crowded– it was a Wednesday night so I wasn’t surprised. Just wanted to grab a drink before the game so we sat at the bar and ordered two captain and coke’s. Bartender was friendly but the drinks were a tad weak. Wasn’t expensive though. I’m used to paying 9 – 10 bucks for a drink in NY so paying 10 bucks for two together was pretty cool lol
Everything was pretty good overall. I did like the atmosphere I’d go again! It would have been an overall good experience except there was a group of girls there who were obnoxiously loud! Ugh. Atleast seven of them just screaming at the top of their lungs. You gotta wonder about some people– I get that you’re drunk and having a good time– but when the rest of the bar is quiet– there really is no need to be that loud. :eye roll: I must be getting old LoL! Well luckily, the hockey game was starting soon so we didn’t stay very long after these girls started acting up. But yea– check it out if you’re in the area!

The food was great, lots of flavor in everything. The Shepard’s Pie was one of the best I have had. The service was great. We sat at the bar before a Brown’s game and it was very busy, but the staff took great care of us.

Great place for traditional Irish food. Has the Harp cheese soup, rueben and banger and mash. All of them were great. Many beers on tap. Although I forgot our servers name, probably dur to all the beer. She was great!!! Necer had to look for her, she even brought out the cook when we were asking about different dishes.

Went in for a snack on a sat night. Bar area was pretty pack, restaurant side was pretty dead.
Sat in the restaurant side. Service was non existent as the section was dead and the server would disappear after bringing the food.
Typical bar food, nothing special.

Had lunch here on a Friday afternoon. Sat inside however you can sit outside as well. Service was really fast and friendly. Had the garlic burger which was phenomenal. My niece had the fish and chips which she loved. Other family members had sandwiches and salads and everything was delicious and the portion size was decent (you could definitely split a sandwich).

I really want to like this place for what it is intended to be… a pub. However, I don’t associate this place with the Irish pub that it wants to be.
We stop in here every so often and I want to like it more and more but it’s difficult to when the staff can’t remember the correct order and it takes forever for food and drinks sometimes. The last time we were here, we ordered the Reuben Sliders which are $ 10 and we weren’t hungry for a lot of food. However, the bartender ordered us two full size Reuben sandwiches with fries and all. Each of the Reuben sandwiches were $ 11. So instead of spending just $ 10 for food and some more for drinks, we ended up spending more than double!
Next time I come in, it will probably be just for drinks because I don’t want to double pay again for something that I don’t even want.

All good here… GREAT music playing, shepherds pie was out of this world and of course a great selection of whiskeys and bourbons. Bartenders were attentive and helpful. Keep it up and will definite be back

We were in Cleveland for an Indians-​Twins night game and made a pit stop at Flannery’s Pub. Flannery’s is one of maybe a dozen or so pubs that have sprouted up around the Indians’ Progressive Field… since the ballpark only opens its doors one hour before game time during the week and there is no place to tailgate… pre-​game activities goes to these pubs… and Flannery’s was a good one.
Very nice beer selection… lots on draft and many more in bottles. I went nice and easy and just had a Harp lager. We shared pub nachos (these were very good… piled high and deep and covered with black beans, pico de gallo, and two kinds of cheese… and all warmed up… this was a nice filling dish) and fried mozzarella sticks (turned out to be the winner… they take a roll of fresh mozzarella and slice it into disks like wheels… lightly covered with panko breading and lightly fried… sitting on a marinara sauce… with shreds of basil… these were the best mozzarella sticks I’ve ever had).
You can sit in or out at this pub… which is very large and can seat loads of peeps. Service was just right. This is a good stop on the way in or out of Progressive Field, or anytime you are in downtown Cleveland near the athletic centers. This location is also just two blocks from the Quicken Loan Arena where the Cleveland Cavaliers play. Next time you are in the area hit up this pub.

Always busy but worth it!!! Next time we will sit on the Patio!
We took a trip to Cleveland for the Indians game and wanted to grab a meal after. With unlimited choices, we looked for a great burger.
We immediately jumped into the only two seats at the bar and were greeted by two of the most stressed out and busy bartenders around. Without hesitation, our drinks were ordered and delivered moments later.
The menu was typical yet screamed Irish and burgers. Now keep in mind this is an Irish themed pub, so expect what you will and we did not have the highest expectations. The décor was solid and the atmosphere was «pubby» and dim. Plenty of TVs for sports. Restrooms were in the perfect spot. The crowd was loud and happy. Drink pours were right on. The general cleanliness was not exceptional but definitely sufficient for the high traffic and fact it was a Saturday night after a ball game.
We ordered typical meals for the situation. Burger and fries, Reuben and a salad. Since the place was packed, we assumed service would lag and quality would be right out the window. Our food arrived hot and well plated, portions were great, taste was even better. To our surprise, the bartender apologized for our food not being faster. It was only 20 min from order to first bite.
Overall, give this place your business. The staff all seemed to work hard but obviously were slammed and stressed. The service was excellent, food was excellent, and atmosphere was exactly what you would want and expect from an Irish Pub in Downtown 216!

Have always loved a beer or two at this wonderful pub. Today was the first day I’ve not had a liquid diet at this venue.
Stuffed mushrooms «shrooms» on the menu — holy fried and breaded thrice. Not something I would order again — very flavorful but anything this fried would be good.
Three thumbs up for the Irish stew — lamb stew that warms the soul.
Fish and chips — too much breading. Fries tasted like they were fresh out of the freezer with the freezer burnt flavor to add. Disappointing from a pub.
Ruben sandwich — dripping with grease– friend who orders always finishes, but left half the sandwich on lonely island.
Rarely will I leave without a box to go when food is leftover … When asked if we wanted a box definitely declined.
Service very amazing. Great place to drink. Eat if you want stew. Leave if you want something not involving liquid.

Until last night I’ve only ever been to Flannery’s before or after heading to Indian’s games. During those times, it’s always packed and lively; full of people, fun, decent selection of beers for a decent price.
However, after eating there for the first time last night, I can say that I don’t even want to go back for drinks.
All of our food was either really bad or mediocre at best. The mozzarella app was cold by the time it got to us, my shepherds pie was legitimately the worst I’ve ever had; bland mashed potatoes over a tiny layer of super watery meat, a side of soggy french fries, my friends burger was absolutely raw and the flatbread was a poor excuse of cold cheese and dried out chicken.
I’m always one to give a little slack for a poor meal– there are such things as bad nights, but after being unsatisfied with 3 different menu items, I wouldn’t give Flannery’s another chance for redemption.

Always a good goto restaurant before a sporting event downtown! It was packed but the hostess was super nice and made waiting not so bad! Food came fast once we were seated! I got the Reuben sliders and they were a perfect size as I wasn’t all that hungry. My friend got the burger and she said it was good too! Waitresses were right on top of everything!

Feels a little strange to only give Flannerys a three star rating as it’s a regular in our dining and take out rotation. However, when I ask myself: would I come here as regularly if it wasn’t across the street and one of the most reasonably priced options downtown? The answer is no.
The reasons we do frequent Flannery’s (aside from proximity and price) are the beer menu that’s a little different from other places in town with reasonable pricing, the pub nachos, and entrees/​sandwiches large enough to share (I fool myself into thinking that appetizer+half entrée/​sandwich is less caloric than full entrée/​sandwich alone. I don’t think this math ever truly works out but I’ll continue to live in my own utopian food world.)
The pub nachos are just… right. Perfectly executed nachos, probably my favorite nachos in town. The chips are the perfect level of crisp, they use this taco sauce (? Not sure if it’s actually taco sauce but the flavors are all there) that gets down to the very bottom of the chips and pairs perfectly with the cheese. Fresh salsa with a little kick of spice and black beans make adding meat unnecessary. Sometimes there are chopped green onion and black olives, sometimes there aren’t. The guacamole and sour cream come on the side, which is a great decision to keep the chips from getting soggy and also leaves some lovin for the inevitably neglected chips at the bottom of the pile. Definitely get the nachos.
I decided that good nachos should not a 4 star rating make though. The rest of the menu is good pub food, I’ve never had anything bad just nothing to write home about. I usually opt for the Reuben because the corned beef is always tender and the sauerkraut to meat ratio is good. There is something about the bread that could be improved upon that I can’t put my finger on though. The fries are just ok for me, but only because I prefer a thinner fry over a steak fry. I also think they are a frozen fry, which honestly is ok by me but I mention it for fry purists. Our other go to is the pub style fibs and chips. The Guinness batter is so tasty that I’m able to forgive the fact that it’s ²⁄₃ batter and ¹⁄₃ fish. I like to use malt vinegar on the entire plate with some tartar sauce here and there (tartar sauce is just so so).

So, one evening on our way to Hilarities we decided to take in the culinary sights nearby, and we happened into Flannery’s.
I’m glad we did:)
Flannery’s is a large-​scale version of the traditional style Irish Pub, with a fine selection of whiskies and beers on tap that will satisfy a variety of tastes (my wife likes their Guinness.)
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and that leads me to the food.
My wife got the fish and chips, which was MASSIVE, and she really enjoyed it. I got the Bangers and Mash, which I’d never had before, and was really impressed. You’d expect sausages to be heavy, but not these; they were light, and on a bed of peas and corn with a wonderful centerpiece of garlic mashed potatoes. It was great:)
The prices aren’t bad, and for parking, there are a few local garages nearby, and the restaurant is close to downtown (by foot if necessary,) so if you want to get a taste of the Irish before a show, a game, or just on it’s own, give Flannery’s a try for a real Irish Treat!
