Flanahan's Pub

A lovely dive out by Ocean Beach. Here's a story: one night several years ago, I was on a double date, the wife and another couple we are friends with. We were headed to the Korean place across the street and opted for a pre-dinner cocktail at Flanahan's. The girls balked, because they thought it looked unsafe. We convince them to step inside at least and we were immediately confronted by the sight of a guy -- reading his voter pamphlet. Looks can be deceiving, it's a comfortable, non-threatening neighborhood gathering spot with a nice parklet in front for the covid-conscious like me. Flanahan's forms part of my "Outer Sunset trifecta" of cool bars: here, The Riptide, and Pitt's. One could keep headed north to Hockey Haven and the vibe remains intact.

Nice little pub. Stopped in on St. Patrick's day. I figured a place with the name Flanahan's and an Irish flag out front would have Irish beer on tap. You'd be wrong. Guinness available in a can that they nicely pour in to a glass for you but not nearly as good as out of a Guinness tap. Local crowd was definitely lively and fun. Fine beers on tap just thought that a pub with an Irish sounding name would have Irish beers (Guinness, Harp etc.) on tap.

Friendly bar tender and cool open parklet for some afternoon drinking. Good time hanging out with my bud, enjoying the day and people watching. They serve beer in a can, which is good since we were walking back and forth from parklet to bar a lot! No spillage!

It was my first time coming to this pub and it was my worst experience I've ever had at a bar in my life. The bartender would disappear periodically and the men in the bar were so rude and disrespectful and I just wanted to leave but I had to wait 15 minutes for the bartender to get back.They need to get ahold of the customers in there because I've never been so disrespected in my life. A bar is not the place to bring up politics especially the roe v wade because it is such a touchy subject. The bartender should have been there to deescalate the situation but he didn't and it resulted in every female in the bar walking out because of how disgusting it was in there. I will never be coming back to this bad again.

This is a fun pub and eatery drinking establishment that my wife and I stopped into while we were in San Francisco. The food was solid got a good cheeseburger had a Lotta good beer can't complain had a good atmosphere good music everything was fun

I'm giving this place four stars for being a casual neighborhood hangout. We brought in our own food from the sandwich shop two doors down, we ordered some drinks and I was able to catch up with my friend in a relaxing joint. The barmaid was extremely helpful in recommending different food venues nearby.

Great parklet. Nicely enclosed...clean...tv and music. My dog and I have a good time there with friends. Maureen is a great bar tender. She's friendly and makes good drinks.

Love this bar! Feels like everyone's living room. Comfortable and cheerful! All the bartenders are great!

Awesome little pub at the edge of Sunset close to the beach. I was there on Sunday night which they have live jazz. The bartender was was very friendly and attentive and made sure I was taken care of.
