When we arrived at The Flynn, people were spilling out onto the sidewalk- these weren’t a rowdy people, these were a relaxed people, letting off some steam on a Friday night after a business week. When you walk inside The Flynn, you notice that it’s a cross between pub, bar and restaurant, with sophistication and a little cheekiness holding the place together. It has the raucousness of a pub, the suaveness of a high-class bar and the elegance of a restaurant. The premises is divided to make these areas distinct, however, the whole venue a nice, cosy atmosphere.
Named in homage to the 1940s actor Errol Flynn, the venue really encompasses all that is chic and elegant with touches of fun excitement. Dim lighting by candlelight subdues the atmosphere while upbeat, full orchestra and brass tunes keep you on your toes with a bit of 1940s excitement. Vines, hanging baskets of plants and vintage wine bottles about the place give the place character and make it glow from the inside out.
Over the past months, The Flynn has undergone a review of their cocktail and wine lists, as well as a completely new menu. The new chef on board adds a French-Vietnamese inspired twist on old pub favourites, while bringing new tastes and meals to the table. This new trust between the kitchen and the bar means that the cocktail list can be perfectly tailored to any meal of your choosing and may I say, this reciprocity really had me in awe.
