Flanigan’s Boathouse

I used to really enjoy this place, but they have been horrible lately. Fish and chips, fish is too small. We ordered takeout and the Fish BLT came with no Bacon, wings came with Ranch rather than blue cheese. Who do they have working in the kitchen, the D squad?

Amazing wings! Seriously just go here for the Wednesday deal of 10 free wings with a 60oz pitcher. They have a good variety of craft beers on tap so that makes this a great deal for us ($ 16 – 20 pitchers).
We got the Peanut Thai wings which were delicious. If you like peanut chicken satay then you will love these wings. We also the Hot wings, but were slightly disappointed that they weren’t spicy hot. I can only tolerate a few drops of Sriracha, and I didn’t even think the Hot wings were spicy. So FYI, if you want spice try atomic maybe.
Love the décor in here. An aquarium, large model ships, lots of marine theme posters. There was lots of open seating at 5pm but by 7 there was a wait to be seated and the bar was packed.
Good bar and good wings. We’ll be back to try it again!

We have eaten here many times. Great, I mean GREAT beer selection! Food selection is okay too. Good chicken cheesesteaks and the Sweet Suicide Wings are FABULOUS beyond fabulous (my favorite wings ever!!). On Wednesdays they have free wings with the purchase of a Pitcher of Beer, of course I would recommend the Sweet Suicide Wings. Great Local Restaurant that has been a staple in Conshohocken for many years! Keep up the good work! One small constructive critique to maybe expand the menu a little more. Thanks!

Fantastic place. Really low-​key, neighborhood bar with some good quality food. Their specials are usually pretty great. $ 3.25 Blue Moons on Mondays and Wing It Wednesday’s. Always a good choice for a happy hour drink or a night out.

Cool place. Nice crowd for the game. I came from DELAWARE cause I heard they had flower power. Had to wait about 30min to get a beer. They have to be the slowest bartenders I have seen.

Love the food and the beer selection, much like everything in conshy though it’s so damn small and crowded. We have a group of 7 which is a little large I understand but we couldn’t even breathe it was so crowded. Cool stuff in the basement make your own 6 pack and huge on tap and bottle list. Jukebox was awesome pumping out Spice girls and then Bohemian Rhapsody. If this place had more room I’d never go anywhere else. Garlic parm wings well done = heaven

File this under what were we thinking. Have been many years and many times before for the bar scene… for that it’s fine. We were walking by today, lured in by lobster bisque. We each got a bowl and it was too thick, too sweet, too creamy. Mediocre soup I could forgive, but the overwhelming mildew smell at our booth had me wanting to run out. By the time we finished, hubs and I were sneezing and sniffling. The place desperately needs a good scrubbing. I guess I’ve just never seen it before in the light of day.

Two stars for really good beer. The rest of the stars disappeared when on New Years Eve Day lunch, some gruff kitchen manager came out and yelled at me for playing the jukebox. HIS jukebox, plugged in and ready to accept money (of course), but he didn’t like my music choice (Red Hot Chili Peppers). For gods sake, you’re a BAR. Don’t put the thing up there and powered ON if you’re going to censor it! It was NEW YEARS EVE! It wasn’t so much that we couldn’t listen to our music, it was HOW WE WERE ASKED: «Did YOU DO THIS?!» He did tell the bartender to give me back my $ 5, but the way he handled customers was astonishing. We have gone there 4 – 5 times before, and drive an hour to get there. Pissed off that the owner allows customers to be mistreated – he must, if that kitchen dude was the guy who was allowed to represent the place! I’d never let him near MY customers. On to the other 10 beer bars within 10 minutes. Way more relaxed, generally way less chaotic, and where jukeboxes are there to be played!

Great people great establishment watch any game you want TVs everywhere the food is excellent and the beer store downstairs is awesome I give this a five thumbs up and nice happy hour specials lots of different beers on tap

A racist place to be I don’t recommended for anybody of color. We as Americans and paying patrons must start hitting places like this were it hurts in the pocket I would never take my black friends there again ever!

Whether you’re looking for a fast sit down lunch, or a place to grab a craft beer, the Boathouse is the place to go. The crowd has a good mix of working professionals and locals during the week. It gets a more college crowd on the weekend. It’s easy to see why when you ask for the beer list. Between the taps and bottles you’d have to go everyday to get through it all. If you want to keep your high end alcoholism to yourself, they opened a bottle shop in the basement which usually has some hard to find stuff.
The wings are better than anything else on the menu. On Wednesdays, they come free with any pitcher. All the bartenders are pros who can handle the crowds. Lunch is slower, so they’ll switch one of the many TVs to soccer for me. It’s definitely a football bar though (not futbol). It’s pretty chill. You aren’t going to be seeing bar fights in there. The only major complaint is that it’s a tight space. Almost like a galley, so you have squeeze from the front door to the back. That’s not enough to discourage you from giving it a try though. In Conshy it’s a classic.

The wings are life changing. I drive in from Philly to get them. Their beer selection is pretty dope too. Check em out if you’re hungry and thirsty.

Great beer selection that’s quite extensive and rotates and tons of TVs which make it great for catching any televised sporting event. Menu is typical bar food. I find it hit or miss with the food (which made me debate 2 or 3 stars) There’s also a bottle shop in the lower level which makes taking beer to go an option. It does get very crowded on Sundays during Eagles games so if football is your pleasure plan ahead.

I really liked this place, and I do love beer. We did not eat here, instead we got beers in the store below the bar, so this review is for that only.
We were looking for beers to go, and had tried the place up the street except in only sold beer by the flat or crate or something… so we came here.
At the front you show your ID. Then you shuffle through the crowded upper bar, and turn right down the stairs. What unfolds before your eyes is a beautiful thing.
4 walls packed with refrigerated and by the 4 or 6pack beers. All craft brew. Many local and big brewery options.
Kristen from Yard Brewery was there and let us sample all her beers. I would highly recommend the RYE beer, it’s an IPA with 7 different hope yet, surprisingly balanced hop flavor! We also liked the tavern porter-​an old historic beer made for downtown Philadelphia establishment. We will be visiting this brewery tomorrow after the amazing experience with her and their beers.
The worker Chris, was super nice, non pushy. He let us look at everything and only when we had questions and asked his opinion did he recommend some beers.
Overall great. Most individual beers are 2.5−5dollars (limited edition) super affordable

I have only tried their beers, so this review is not a review of the food.
This bar provides an excellent selection of beers from across the nation at reasonable prices, a great atmosphere, epic urinals in the men’s room (they are kegs that are cut open), and friendly attentive waitstaff.

When I need a good people watching night this is where I like to go to start off with some food, and maybe finish off with a couple of extra drinks.
Some pros: Nice bar with a great selection of beers. They have a beer shop downstair so you can even pop in to just pick up a pack. The food is good but the best is the clam chowder. It is New England version and they do a nice job with that. If your plan is the have a Conshy night than this is a good starting ground and ending point because they do have a limited late night menu. Can get pretty packed as the night goes on, but that is true about any typical American bar.
Cons: really only a good spot to go if you can take the train and not drive. Parking isn’t ideal in Conshy but if you can walk no problem. Although they do have a decent size menu I would only recommend this place if you’re okay with the bar combination. Certainly not a place to have a nice quite meal together.
Overall it is a good place to hang with your friends and get the night started with some wings and drinks, but not ideal if you want to not be jammed in a crowded place while you’re trying to enjoy some grub.

Wing it Wednesday! A pitcher of beer gets you 10 free wings. It’s like Christmas! Christmas filled with wet naps, large parties of men in their 20-​somethings, wings, and pitchers of booze, and a huge fish tank. Yes, there’s a decorative fish tank in the middle of the seating area. I digress…
I’ve been here a few times to get wings and alone– the wings get 4 stars maybe even 5. However I had a salad here yesterday (don’t judge just yet, I got wings too) and it was a large portion of disappointment.
I ordered the tequila lime salad, which was described on the menu as «marinated shrimp, garden greens, black beans, pineapple salsa, cheddar cheese & tortilla confetti tossed in a citrus lime dressing and served with a pepper jack cheese quesadilla.» The shrimp were smaller in size but they tasted fresh and were cold. «Garden greens» was code for iceberg. Who the heck still eats iceberg lettuce? Yuck. Pineapple salsa wasn’t there. Maybe it was the bits of corn I saw? No idea. It wasn’t pineapple.
Luckily my wings saved the day. I also tried my friends sweet potato fries which were nicely cut, crinkle and had the perfect amount of seasoning. They were some of the best I’ve had.
Don’t order a salad at Flanigans. Unless you can’t seem to shake that hankering for 3 lbs of iceberg lettuce. Then by all means…
Oh wait– and the beer list is pretty solid.
Beer list — 5 stars
Wings– 4.5 stars
Service-​4 stars
Salad-​2 stars

I wasn’t unfamiliar with the Boathouse, but admittedly haven’t been in over 5 years since moving out of the area. When a friend suggested he wanted wings at 10:30pm, upon doing a Unilocal search, I was reminded they are still here.
My review is based on the beer, wings and service, as that’s what was on order. The beer selection is legendary, and I was glad to see they’re still on their game. I was stunned and happy to see Kronenbourg 1664 on the list, as few know it exists. The first night It was crowded with 20-​somethings which was also expected, but the din was still tolerable. The second night was packed, and yet I still got a table quickly.
The wings were superb — as I remember them, and a good deal at 12 for $ 11.00 or so. The first server was okay, but lacking a bit in personality. The second server, a young man with dark hair clearly demonstrated that he knew how to handle a full house, and although he was «in the weeds», his service was efficient and admirable. I tipped him well.
I’m sure I’ll be back. This place is a Conshohocken landmark — it’s got history, great food, it’s clean, quick, convenient, and a good bargain for the quality of food they serve. Treat yourself and go.

In the inevitable comparison between GREAT AMERICAN and BOAT HOUSE I’m gonna have to give it to the BOAT.
Nautical themed dining is no doubt a disaster on paper– but the Boat House actually does a nice job keeping it aesthetically strong without being too tacky. Food is to die for. When it’s not *free wings with pitcher* day (incredible), I always hit the chicken avocado wrap. The cheese fries. Wtf insane.
The girls I see running this place are very sweet to boot. Always accommodating when my squad rolls in.
**posted on both accounts cause fuck it this place is sick**

Walk me in here blindfolded and when you yank it off this could be ANY BAR USA. Wait a minute; I see A Villanova banner on the wall. I must be near Philly. Wait a minute again; last year I was in Alaska and saw a Villanova banner so who the hell knows now days.
The bar/​restaurant design folks have their act together and they know a lot of folks like this style so they give it to us.
* You got your slightly dim lighting.
* Plenty of wood just slightly beat up.
* A very long bar in this case topped with copper.
* Zillions of TVs.
* Sports and college memorabilia everywhere.
* A line of cozy booths.
* Lots of taps and lots of bottles. Over all a very decent selection of brews.
* A pub grub menu that won’t break the bank.
Like I said, it’s ANY BAR USA. So is there anything that makes this place different? Yes.
* Unbelievably great wings. Six will set you back $ 6.99 and twelve for $ 11.99. Go for the dozen and try the Peanut Thai variety. Awesome!
* Head downstairs to the Bottle Shop and peruse over 200 varieties of suds. If you like, mix and match your own six pack.
Special note– Some folks either visit here or avoid visiting here because they think the name and logo denotes just a seafood restaurant. Yes there is seafood here but the menu has many choices for carnivores and other folks.
I can see where a beer aficionado might go four stars here but I’m going for a solid three.
