    Great place for people who love beer! Loads of outside space and food options available! If you are looking for a space to chill in the nice weather this will definitely be a good one ☝️ the decor is something you need to see for yourself, but there are few pictures provided. There is also a challenge if you would like to drink 200 beers 😂 might get your own saucer!

    We were in town for a comedy show and wanted to get a bite before the performance. We found this place via Google Maps. It was a hot July day (100+) so we decided to sit inside. Beer selection was great, and we both enjoyed our choices. We decided to start with pretzel/spicy mustard which we really liked. For our main course I had the prosciutto & arugula pizza, and my wife had the chicken sandwich. Both were hot and tasty. Glad we stopped by – food was good, and the employees were very friendly. Thanks!

    This is a wonderful experience. The service here was very friendly and plenty helpful with suggestions on their cultured beer menu. The ascetic is pleasant and food tastes very good with unique appetizers. The staff also let our group stay 20 minutes past close just to chill. Loved it.

    I stopped in around noon-ish on a beautiful Saturday. No crowd. My friend and I sat ourselves and our waitress, Skye, came to take our drink order. We both ordered the Rose Sangria. I'm not sure what all they put in that sangria but I can tell you they were very generous with the alcohol. The drink was good and strong. Shout out the the bartenders. To eat I ordered the San Miguel burger and my friend ordered the cob salad and cheese fries. We both enjoyed our meal and the service we received. I will surely visit again when in the area.

    Wow! More beers on tap than you can shake a stick at! Plenty of options, whether you’re looking for an IPA, stout, sour, or anything in between. Food options are typical bar fare (burgers, chicken sandwiches, pretzels, etc) but are all fantastic. No matter how busy, service is quick. “Hot food has no name”

    I finally found North Coast Brewing Co. craft beer here. Old Rasputin and Scrimshaw. Thanks for the great atmosphere as well. 🤘

    It's a great place to try new beers. The Beerfeast Board was good, my husband enjoyed the sausage and sauerkraut; I like the soft chewy pretzels. The patio setting was relaxed and enjoyed some music. Our waitress was friendly.

    We always go when they open on a Saturday. That being said, it has been at least a few years. Our daughter is turning nine so we are getting a little more independence back! All I can say is that this place just gets it. I am not quite an MOU, yet, but do have my name on the Wall of Honor and have a plate in the hall. 140 beers into the next trip around, which has taken me almost 8 years to make after it took me only a few years to make two or three trips! Either way, service and atmosphere continues to remain exemplary. Beer selection is amazing as always. Stone anything is a favorite of mine. I saw the same people coming and going from the kitchen which goes to show you that this place is no doubt legit. First time I had the salmon bowl, and I think it is my new favorite. My wife ordered no tomato on her turkey meltdown. They also, without her having to say it, served the salad that was on the side also with no tomatoes. Just impeccable attention to detail. Got my 141st and 142nd beers! We hope to make it here with a little more regularity. There are many more options in Fort Worth for craft beer tasting since the last time we were here, but this place continues to remain consistently great.

    Great place for unique beers and rotating taps . Servers are wonderful and truly care about your order. The patio space is great and drink specials on Monday and Sunday are a nice added bonus. My go to whenever I want a drink.

    Flying Saucer is awesome! I came for a political rally on election night. The restaurant has an amazing patio experience that was perfect for the event: plenty of room for crowds, a stage for live music and speakers with great acoustics, picnic tables, fans in summer and heaters in winter for the weather, and a beautiful brick and trees aesthetic. The place was busy, but I didn't feel crammed in. The food here is pretty good. I enjoyed the grilled cheese with bacon and tomato soup, and their pretzels are very tasty. They offer a huge selection of draft beers of all styles to choose from, plus ciders, meads, wine, cocktails, and more. The reason I gave 4 stars is for the service. For some tables it's amazing, but others they seem to forget about you. Overall great place for anyone who loves beer! 🍺

    Very cool place, great service, so many drinks & beer is cold! Food was great as well, just sad we didn’t stay long enough to earn a saucer 🥺👍👍

    I wish they wouldn't have taken the Shepherd's pie off the menu. It was the only thing I really liked here. The pizza is pretty good but I just wish there were different options. My family loves coming here for the patio but there are no kid meal options. The kids end up ordering wings for over $15 each so it gets expensive quick. I do love their beers and the vibe which is why it still gets 4 stars. Add kid's meal options and bring back Shepherd's pie please!

    Good sport for beers with a nice garden. But food is lacking. Steak Frites ordered medium-rare, showed up fully nukes and dry as a bone. Pic showing second attempt, probably more of a medium. Little jucier, but still tough. Average fries. Good salad though.

    Crowded, but it was a Friday night. The place was hopping. Good food and great selection of beers!!!

    If you’re looking for a place to get a beer for anyone in your group, this is definitely the place for you! If you have someone who doesn’t drink with you, they’ll love the food. The service has been fast and consistent, with our server checking on us often enough we never have to wait for you. I’ll definitely be coming back soon.

    This downtown restaurant and bar is famous for beer. Lots of beer. Like over 200 kinds of beer. It's fun. Our server Taylor was helpful in making choices. We decided on a dark flight and the light side flight to try 8 different varieties . We also ordered a couple sandwiches and Carne asada fries appetizer. The appetizer was marinated steak with guac, pico,, cheddar cheese and sour cream over a bed of fries. The Big Dipper was a French dip sandwich with the best au jus for dipping. The black and Bleu sandwich was steak with Bleu cheese butter, arugula, tomatoes and flash fried shallots. Both came with a side of fries, sweet potato fries, or salad. The beer was great. The sandwiches also great. I had to snap a picture of Travis, another server wearing the perfect shirt. This is a really fun place. When you're downtown stop in. You'll be glad you did.

    Nice place with a huge selection of different beers, enjoyed the atmosphere, and they stay open late. I tried the burger and it was ok, but I wouldn't get excited about it honestly. Worth the try for a fun outing, especially if you have a bigger group

    Great spot with a huge patio! We had good beer and food here as well as awesome service! The fries were cold but besides that, everything was awesome! Would highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Mike K. 9 months ago on Google
    We had a fabulous beer cicerone at The Flying Saucer. Travis recommended some fabulous beers 🍻 That’s what you want when you’re looking to try some new brews 🍺 I had a trippel, a saison, and a Trappist ale. Mike had a sour. It’s nice to have someone make recommendations that taste great. Thanks Travis!!

    ENJOYED IT EMENSLEY! The sides were colder than the mains, but damn! The pork chops were on point and the chicken was awesome! Pretzel was like a philly pretzel but better! Beer was what they are known for and i get it but damn... the food was our highlight... I guess we are foodies now.

    Love this place. We have been several times, and it's a very chill place to grab a burger and a drink. The staff is always very friendly regardless of how crowded. Service is quick. The salmon bowl was delicious! They sometimes have live music, too. It was a great place for a date night. I noticed the menu options have been adjusted. I miss some of the items (such as Sheppard pie) but they still have so many delicious choices!

    We came up from Athens for the weekend and saw this place online. Planning on trying the flights. There are specialty out you can pick your own. I started with the Stout Flight and it is excellent. They is a large outside seating area. For some reason they are not very busy right now. Very cool inside. Lots of commemorative plates on the ceiling and walls. I like the place and recommend it. I am a Homebrewer and this is a good place to try things out.

    Ate here for lunch with a friend today. It was an ok experience. I ordered queso and chips as an appetizer, a Marsellus Wallace sandwich and fries as my meals and a pair of beers to drink. The queso was ok, but it wasn't fresh. It has developed a pretty obvious skin on the from sitting a while before being served to us. The flavor was fine but wasn't anything special. Same goes for the sandwich. It just felt like a cheap philly cheese steak. It wasn't bad, but I wasn't super impressed. Didn't have a lot of flavor and there wasn't much meat on it. The fries were good though. They were a nice mix between what McDonalds and Wendy's fries are like. They tasted like fries from Mickey D's, but we're crunchy like Wendy's new fries. All in all, it was an ok experience. But for $50, it wasn't much of a value.

    Beautiful restaurant. Service was good. Food was amazing and cheap. Best chicken and waffles we've ever had. Great beer prices too. Simply loved this place!
