Flanagan's Irish Pub in Bootle

Ah, let's chat about Flanagan's Irish Pub – it's got that cosy, unpretentious feel that makes you want to pop in for a chat and a drink. From what I've gathered, the staff are absolute gems, always greeting you with a smile and getting your order sorted in no time, which really adds to the warm welcome. The beer and wine selection is spot on, and it's brilliant for unwinding after a beach walk or joining in on the fun with karaoke or watching the footie. The space feels fresh and modern, too, so it's not your dusty old pub corner – more like a comfortable spot for a laugh with friends. On the downside, it's a shame there's no website to look up details in advance, and while folks rave about the drinks and vibe, there's not a peep about food, which might leave you wanting if you're after a bite to eat. Prices are a mystery as well, so you might need to keep an eye on that. All in all, it's a cracking choice for a casual night out, with that solid 4.3 rating showing it's generally a hit, but it's worth going in with realistic expectations for a drinks-focused visit.
