Amazing! The waiter was super kind and the burger was very crispy. My soda was very flavorful and the atmosphere was great! I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

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. read more

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!!). read more

Ok... frozen food is better. Cant even make Mac and cheese it just tastes like roux with no cheese yuck! Also how do you fuck up such simple ingredients? Worst food I've ever eaten. Go to McDonald's for a decent meal. read more

For what you get, it was fine. Service I believe was the strongest point about our meal. Both the hostess and our server were very friendly and truly seemed happy to be working. Our service did an excellent job of keeping our water filled. He was very prompt with taking our order..checking in...and bringing our bill. We both had the Shepherd's Pie. It was neither the worst nor the best I've had, but the serving was fine and tasted good. Price is about what you would expect, and I have no complaints. I don't plan on returning, but if you are in the mood for bar/pub fare, then I think this will satisfy your itch. read more

I sat at the bar so I don't know how the regular seating area/servers are. The bartenders were fantastic! The Mac and cheese with chicken was amazing- I am not known for clearing my plate and ate very pierce of pasta and chicken. I wish I could have taken it back to Virginia with me to eat daily. The bartender was very patient with me explaining the beers (I'm not a huge drinker) and I really liked the one I had! I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

This place was awesome and our server was great. Make sure to get Billy he has great recommendations and is so nice! Great service. read more

Flannery's Pub - Dinner on the patio - Sports Bars Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Went here recently for more affordable dinner as some of my favorite places downtown are the pricey ones. Was pleasantly surprised by my experience. This review really would be a 3.5. Got the veggie burger. Veggie burgers at restaurants are either tough patties or something that falls apart. Flavor is often an issue too. Flannery's has a rice veggie burger, which does fall apart, but is actually flavored well and nice mix of ingredients (yay beets!). My tator tots were a little cold, but they fixed this quickly. I just didn't expect to be as filling and good as it was. Not five star dining, but good food for the price at a location close to the Q. read more

Wow, quite an improvement from our last visit two years ago. Service was quick and friendly, a great assortment of beers to choose from, and forget the jokes about Irish cuisine, all the meals were tasty and well-prepared and presented. Too bad so many folks are staying at home , you're missing a great dining experience. read more

We were starving after a day of traipsing around Cleveland getting set up for a triathlon the next day. I was looking for something hearty and filling, but also easy on the stomach, and everything around at 4pm on a Friday was either *super fancy*, bar food, or closed. An Irish pub fit the bill, so we headed in and I'm super glad we did. Our server was incredibly friendly, and kept our waters full. We hemmed and hawed over choices, we both settled on the fact that we needed the meatloaf (while trying to convince each other to order the Irish stew because we both wanted some of it, but couldn't not get the meatloaf). Passing over the many delicious sounding appetizer options, we both ordered salads. The salads were tasty, and while my recollection was that they were on the small side, I was also ginormously hungry, so take that with a grain of salt. Then, the meatloaf came out. Holy god, this was the exact meal I needed right then. Probably a whole pound of beef, split into almost a sandwich-type situation with gouda and bacon in the middle, with slightly spice tomato sauce covering. Normally, I'd say this would be two meals, but I hadn't eaten yet, so it all went down the hatch. All of it. And it was wonderful. I actually really wanted to come back and try more of their food after the race, but we never made it. Sad. It will definitely be on my list of places to return to should I make it back to Cleveland next year! read more

My husband & I just ate here. The food was fantastic. He had the Irish Stew & I had the Ruben Sandwich. Fresh all around. We would definitely return again. read more

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. read more

I've been here many times over the years on my way to Cavs games. I love the area and inevitably find myself at Flannery's for a drink. It's been a while since I actually sat down and ate there, but I always thought the food was good. It's a shame I don't get down to the Q for games more often. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely be going here. read more

Wonderdul restauraunt! Very clean and our server Cameron is awesome. Attentive and comfortable service. We got the fish and chips. It comes with a perfect coleslaw, which is fresh and light (not too mayonnaisey). Fish is high quality and the fries are delicious. read more

This is an amazing place to go to get Irish food or a salad! Last time my family and I were in Cleveland a taxi driver recommended Flannery's Pub for dinner, but unfortunately we didn't have the time. I'm glad we took the recommendation this time around! The Caesar salad with chicken was one of the best salads I've ever had! Everything about this place was relaxing and the perfect place to go for a little family outing! read more

Great Irish food! Had the Reuben Balls (which are awesome) as an appetizer and a great shepherds pie for the entree. Great service, great food and good prices. If you like Irish fare--this won't disappoint. read more

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. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Flannery's on a whim seeing as it was one of the few places open on Memorial Day. Glad we did! The service was wonderful and the environment very comfortable and clean. I highly suggest getting the poutine app. read more

I hadn't been here in years, but the remodel looks great. It is was more open, and I know Irish pubs are supposed to be authentic and cozy and dark; it still had some of that feel but just much more accessible and appropriate for downtown. They had great beer selection, a nice combo of Irish selections and american craft beers. Their new menu which wasn't super expensive but a decent variety and options. We started with the poutine which was delicious. Their gravy is phenomenal! I wish they actually had a bigger option to share with a whole table, the size a bit more 2 people friendly. For dinner I ordered a second appetizer, the Guinness mushrooms, I expected it to be a handful of small mushroom caps battered, but it was 4 HUGE mushroom caps stuffed with a cream cheese veggie dip w/ broccoli and then battered with spicy dipping sauce on the side. Very yummy but a bit too much or too thick of batter/breading for my personal preference. My boyfriend ordered the chicken sandwich as did his brother, it looked really good, both devoured them. Their dad ordered the arugula salad AND the salmon entree. Both looked amazing. The salmon was cooked perfectly and served with mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies. It looked healthy and delicious. Another table near us ordered mac and cheese and next time, I NEED it. It looked so decadent. read more

I visited late night. The food was really good.. the service could have been a lil better but it was right before closing time. I would definitely visit again read more

I have been to my fair share of pubs over the years, and this is by far the best one I've ever been. We came in on a Friday night and they had live music. It was pretty crowded but we were able to be seated right away, as it is a pretty large location. The décor inside truly does remind me of a pub and the staff is very hospitable. The boyfriend got a half and half and I got a local craft brew lager. The half and half was properly poured and delicious and my brew was fresh out of the tap as well! Since it was later, we opted to split two appetizers. The portions were HUGE for apps, and we left feeling full and satisfied. We got the poutine fries and the reuben balls to split. The cheese melted on the fries was absolutely delicious and the Guinness gravy was oh so flavorful and not overly salty. The reuben balls were also loaded with meat and kraut and dipped in the thousand island were just pure perfection. We were thinking about dessert but we were just too full to try. Please, do yourself a favor and come here. I can guarantee you'll have a great time! read more

This is the first time I have ever eaten here. It was a slow time of the day but still had great atmosphere. Our server was super friendly & very attentive. We started with the Boyne Valley Rolls (a Ruben egg roll pretty much) and followed it with the pulled pork sandwich. It's a Very tasty pork topped with fresh coleslaw and served with fresh fried potatoes. It was delicious! We will definitely be back soon!! read more

Flannery's Pub - Pork sandwich with fresh fried potatoes & a sweet pickle. - Sports Bars Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

We had a wonderful server who easily made up for flaws in the menu and the food quality. She was gracious, funny, and very accommodating. However for an Irish pub, there were concerns. The Guinness on draft was stale and the shepherds pie made with beef not lamb. The fish and chips were generous, but the breading was soggy. I had the mussels made with bangers and cabbage. Interesting combination and the broth was very tasty. But the mussels were over steamed and rubbery. Meh. On a very positive note, there was ample seating and the restaurant was quiet enough to allow conversation at our table. read more

Bar Food - That is the best way to put it. We had a large group who decided to stop here prior to the Browns game. They had $3 miller lights which came in a nice miller plastic cup. They had a limited food menu due to it being a Game day, which was understandable. I ordered a fondue dip, which ended up not being to great. This was because it was a huge bowl of cheese and minimal sides to dip in it because it was "game day". If you were to stop here, I would stick to the alcohol and not waste your time on the food. read more

There were 5 of us looking for dinner. Go to Flannery's because the menu looked pretty good. We get inside and the hostess is a total knucklehead. We asked for a table of 5 and she couldn't make it work. Not only that she didn't care. We left and not going back. read more

Flannery's Pub - MAC-N-CHICKEN - Sports Bars Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I normally don't do anything like this, but I felt compelled to post that I had the absolute worst customer service experience I have ever had at this bar, this evening. While the majority of the staff were extraordinary helpful, one of the bartenders, Jen, was the rudest person I have ever encountered. She literally went out of her way to be rude to my friends and I, and because of her this bar has permanently lost me as a customer. I am extremely disappointed because when I complained about how rude she was to the bar manager his response was "I know." I will never be back. read more

So, I felt as if I needed to come back to Flannery's since the last time I went was a semi-disaster. Oh, the disaster part wasn't Flannery's fault... We went here to watch "The Decision" and how were they supposed to know how that was going to end? Anyways, I met some really cool people out here to grab a few happy hour brews and grab some pub grub. I walked in and saw Strongbow on tap. Glorious. A cool fall evening, scarves, a warm bar and cider beer. It doesn't get much better than that. Now, like I said, I was at this bar for that horrible day in Cleveland history when our hearts were all collectively broken. It was crazy packed and the service reflected the atmosphere. This time around I sat at the bar and was doted on like I was in a fancy restaurant. The server/bartender was so sweet and suggested a deliciously light meal for me: A cup of Irish Stew and a side salad. Nothing super special about the greens, but the stew was really tasty! Thick, savory, rich and soul-warming. Really, Flannery's is just a great Irish pub downtown with a chill vibe and good food. That's what I love about it. And if you're looking for a good sports-watching bar or somewhere to tailgate, this is your spot. It's literally right by both Progressive Field and the "Q". I'm coming back again and again... and I think I'll probably be trying some of their mac and cheese next time around. read more

Of all the places I have gone to put on an epic buzz, I would rate this as number one. Last year for the fourth of July, the lady friend and I took a trip to Cleveland for the various sights you just cannot find in Rochester, NY. While we visited many places over the course of four days, this was the only place we went to twice. The place is spacious, has genuine Irish music playing live, and gigantic beer-battered onion rings that are reminiscent of the Death Star from Star Wars, or a breaded anus. I prefer the former. The location is out of this world, within immediate viewing and hearing distance of Progressive Field, where the Cleveland Indians play. My experience there was great, though it is easy to be biased when you are half in the bag from Smithwick's pints with live music and fireworks going off in front of you. If you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend getting foolish here. It's as good a place as any, and when you're drinking- all roads lead to the same place, eh? 3/5 for kicking ass. 1/5 for serving Smithwick's. -1 for being so far away from me. read more

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. read more

Went here around 8 on a Saturday night and had our pick of tables. Our waiter, I think his name was Tim, was pretty hilarious. He took care of us even when the crowd started rolling in. I will say I had 3 vodka sodas and didn't even have a buzz so to me that signals a problem. Considering I don't drink very often anything but wine, I can guess it was a pretty weak pour. The BF had an irish coffee and some cider/guiness mixture I wouldn't dare try. He really like it there. I'd go back, it was a nice "douche-free" spot which is so rare Downtown. Oh and they had darts and a skee ball machine that I noticed too late. They were occupied, but damn I know I had a bulls eye in me, too bad. read more

I've been to this place about a half dozen times, probably because I really want to like it, for whatever reason. They just aren't giving me any good reason to. It's in a pretty solid location. On the southern end of the East 4th Street strip, but also right across from the Q and the Jake. There is plenty of space inside, pretty decently sized bar, and in the summer, a nice outdoor patio (more on that soon). Most people don't know that Flannery's is now owned by a small corporation (Trifecta Management Group) which also owns two other restaurant/bars on East 4th (Corner Alley and Zocalo). Once you know this, it's easy to understand why the atmosphere in Flannery's feels so much like a run-of-the-mill corporate chain. The prices aren't cheap but aren't expensive; they're on-par for what you'd expect from East 4th, but not for the quality that you get. The Happy Hour is a dollar off drafts, which seems like a good deal until you realize they're merely taking $1 off a regularly priced $6 pint (sorry, imperial pint) of Guinness. The food is ok but nothing spectacular in my book. The service is hit-or-miss. They are not fond of people who just want to sit out on the patio and relax with friends and drink. I got pretty rude service from a outside server who wasn't happy that my friend and I weren't planning to order full meals. read more

I was visiting Cleveland over the weekend for the marathon. The day before the race, I wanted to get an early dinner and have one quality beer. I could not have made a better choice than Flannery's. Unfortunately, on my walk over to Flannery's I got caught in the rain, and by the time I walked in I looked like a drowned rat. Nevertheless, the hostess was friendly and seated me right away. My waiter, Timmy, was also very friendly and seemed to sense that I was uncomfortable about my soaked appearance. After asking what kind of beer I like, he suggested a Murphys Amber, which was right on the money. I ordered fish and chips, which for some reason always appeals to me when traveling out of town to a race. The fish was nice and hot, the fries were quite good, and the meal was served with cole slaw. Timmy was pushing dessert, but I was too full to even consider it. I told him I would come back on Sunday and have the chocolate chip cookies with milk. However, I did not realize at the time that Flannery's does not open until 3 pm on Sundays -- and I wound up "settling" for Mexican food after my race, which was not nearly as good of an experience. In retrospect, I should have waited. read more

Went here after a day at the Rock and Roll HOF. Hostess seated us immediately in a comfortable booth. My wife and son ordered the Shepperds Pie which was good , but with very little meat in it. It,came with a large portion of broccoli I ordered a Ribeye soaked in Guiness with a sauce on top that was skimpy. It came with delicious Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli. The drinks were good and the service was, also. Surprised no rolls or Irish Soda Bread was offered with dinner. I would return because of the location, but the food could improve a little bit. read more

Flannery's Pub - Sports Bars Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

This place seems to be the gathering point before every Cavs game and it is always packed. Despite the high beer prices and the crowds, they never have enough staff and you'll be lucky if you can get in more than one beer in an hour before the game. They seem to have taken advice from the comedians down the street and leave them wanting more but I don't know that it is the best approach in this situation. read more

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! read more

I have been going to Flannery's Pub for about 20 years, at least. I have gone for lunch, dinner, late night snacks and for good, old fashioned drink-ups. I have also spent many St. Patrick's Day's at Flannery's. The bar staff are very friendly and pour a nice pint of Guinness. They also make really good (by good, I mean strong) mixed drinks. Of, course they also have many options for beer on tap. The food menu offers many options from soups/salads, to wraps and sandwiches. They also have more traditional Irish food entrees and American fare. As a vegetarian, I never worry at Flannery's. The chef, Willie, is always willing to alter a recipe to accommodate what I am in the mood for. Flannery's is a nice size pub. They have a nice big bar area, an area for live mi sic, and plenty of tables. I have been a part of very large parties at Flannery's and they were able to serve us all with ease. read more
