Business Description from the Web

The name is derived from the vast collection of plates from around the world that line the walls. That and other memorabilia, as well as a good menu of sandwiches and other light fare, give the Saucer a quaint pub feel. But make no mistake, this is a beer joint. 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... more

Belly up to a long bar, nuzzle against a table, nestle on a comfy couch or perch upstairs in the Pub of Love. Pierced and dreadlocked bohemians recline comfortably upon weathered sofas, while buttoned-down frat alumni take to the tables, all in peaceful coexistence. The... more

Tons of beers on tap and the chill atmosphere make this a great place for bohemians and ex-frat boys alike to spend a laid back yet fun night out.

If you can't find a beer that fits your taste there then you better stick to water. The staff was very courteous and knowledgeable. I had the turkey meltdown and it was awesome, try it with bacon . It was very tasty from someone who eats turkey because he should not because he likes it says alot the mayo was the key. In fact I am from Chicago and the manager there went out of her way to tell me... more

Wow - what a selection!

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. The only difficult thing is that there are so many to choose from you may not know where to start. But that's OK - the staff is great at helping you narrow it down. Still not sure - then simply request a quick sample. To be... more
