Business Description from the Web
The name is derived from the vast collection of plates from around the world that line the walls.

With 85 drafts flowing from taps and another 130 in bottles, you could make a career out of this place. For a quick primer, try a...

If you like beer, you're gonna love Flying Saucer. To start, it's a great, laid-back atmosphere where you can be you! And then comes the good part - oh, all the beer.
