Flanagan’s Tavern

If it wasn’t for the gr8 band, Three to Get Ready, that played there last night I would’ve totally walked outta this place. 1 waitress who had a massive attitude bc she was the only one doing any work & she barely got us our drinks, I mean barely. Ended up going to the bar myself & found out what a real piece of work the bartender was. Completely ignored me for a good 15 minutes b4 I had to practically throw myself over the bar at him. The band made the night, I’d give the service a zero if I could.

This is the second time I was at Flanagans. Also the second time that I waited and waited at the bar for a drink. Tonight yes it was busy, but how do the bartenders just walk around ignoring customers? The first time there was no excuse. 3 women talking while ignoring customers. Never again! !

Stay at home. The bartenders suck. I felt like Casper the ghost. I’ve been here a few times. It’s amazing the bartenders are playing with their phones. Good luck getting a drink.

I can’t say much about their entire menu, but I ordered the pizza and appetizer sampler and the pizza was horrendous. Better off making digiorno frozen pizza at home. It was that bad.

Flanagan’s Pub is a traditional Irish Pub. Taking over the spot formerly known as McGin’s. This spot has live music as well as jukebox. There is a dinning area in the front with the old rustic style dark wood. They do not have many Taps but are up to date with the regulars and seasonal drafts. A full line of top shelf liquor and food service. I can not comment on food as the kitchen closes between 11p-​12a. The only draw back here is parking. The lot has muni meter although not overly expensive .25 cents for 15 min parking M-​Sat 8Am-​10Pm. If not street parking is available but hard to come by. You will find many locals/​regulars from the neighborhood here. This is a place you can sit down catch a game, Grab a drink w/​friends, and throw some darts. Will be going back to sample food menu and broaden review. As for now I would give this place a try when your looking to get out but looking to chill.

Stone Martin plays on Friday nites. Unfortunately I missed them by one nite. Lmao. Comfortable bar. Casual .iv reviewed prior.

This is an average rating of 5 for the bar and a 0 for my experience in the restaurant part… rounded up because of math.
Went there on a Friday night, we were the only table in the dining area. Ordered Mozzarella sticks as an app, a Burger and Fish and Chips as our dinner. We then had to wait 40 minutes for the waitress to acknowledge the fact that our app never came out, it apparently went to one of the 2 bar tables. Maybe if we had been drinking more alcohol we would have had better service but once she realized the mistake they came out quickly. Unfortunately that meant our meal would soon be coming which were both inedible.
The burger was overly salted and came with a comically over sized bun. The burger was home made which was a nice change from the usual meat disks that you are usually served in a bar but execution failed. My wife barely touched her fish since they were breaded mush in fish form. Overall we were pretty disappointed with the dinner part of our stay.
We were meeting people so even though we had a rough start there the night was totally redeemed at the bar.
The bar was a very good size and since they moved it it makes much more sense for the space and the bartenders were on the ball all night plus the crowd was older so there was a certain lack of riff raff which always leads to a pleasurable night.
Weekends they seem to have bands which is not something I can get into in such small spaces but this night the band was great playing music from across decades and the crowd seemed to enjoy them so an added bonus.
I will definitely be going back, but I will probably stick to the bar

Great Kills has a new jewel.
What a great makeover!
Both the food and interior has changed since it was the former McGinn’s.
What a beautiful transformation.
Both have changed for the better.
The bar has been pleasantly redone and moved.
We ordered a few appetizers and entrees.
The J-​9 burger and cheesesteaks were so delicious. Wishing the new ownership well!

The old McGinn’s Bar in Great Kills.
The bar area has been redone, it’s comfortable w/​more seating.
The owner Scott and his staff were very friendly and welcoming.
I ordered a J-​9 Burger, which was Stuffed with Bacon, Topped with Cheddar and Mozzarella Cheese and was very good along w/​great sweet potato fries.
Local bands play on the weekends.
Flanagan’s is a Great Local Bar, That I’m lucky enough to be able to walk home from if I have too.
