Flying Dog Bar & Grill

Place is closed. Drove by the past 4 days in a row and zero signs of life. It's too bad. The beer selection was the best around and the food was actually decent. This place is cursed. Nothing lasts here.

After finding out the Charlie Horse had a private party for the Super Bowl (what?) we headed down 138 and decided we'd check out the first logical location.  This was it and we stayed.  Although the crowd was minimal and dewindled to just a few people by end of the game, the owner and his staffed showed us a great time.  Complimentary jello shots after scores and a great selection of new beers.  The food was good.  We had started with the Portugesse Egg Rolls - very good.... The Chipolte Honey Wings - exceptional. My friend had a pizza and really enjoyed it.  I had the Whole Clam special and regreated the decision.  The clams were too heavily breaded and were over cooked.  The fries - blah.  Still - we had a good time and would visit again sticking to some of the other praised food.

After the Flying Dog reopened the doors of the previous Centerfield's then Surly Johnson's, I was convinced that it would suffer the same fate as its predecessors.  A couple of months in, word began to spread in my neck of the woods that the place was much cooler inside & the food was even worth the trip.  We finally made our way to the Flying Dog with friends one night for dinner & drinks and I'd have to say that I agree.  Everyone enjoyed their meals...burgers were huge & someone's shrimp scampi, I think it was, had to be taken home as leftovers it was so delicious.  There are many drink choices & beers on tap.  Pricing was ok.  We were just saying the other day how we have to get back here for another round sometime soon.  Hope the Flying Dog can stick it out...maybe 3rd time really is a charm?
