Editorial Juice Review: Flanagan's Restaurant and Lounge
Flanagan's Restaurant and Lounge
Bartender Lisa Davey, 30, showcases all the brew that Flanagan's has to offer. (Arturo Fernandez/Juice)
Flanagan's is an Ingersoll mainstay where half of the crowd could be considered fixtures alongside the bar's eccentric decor of hanging plaques, signs and posters. Inside, the tavern is dimly lit with a large wrap-around bar that's prime seating for chatter with the bartender. The room is spacious with several tables, booths and a couple of video games. The outdoor patio is large enough for plenty of groups to lounge during warm months, especially on Sundays when the bar serves bargain steaks and patrons take on the open mic.
