Flannery's Pub

A gleaming, upscale sports bar, the first of its kind along downtown's nightlife-infused strip. Foregoing the grimy, dingy ambiance of most sports bars, Flannery's is a clean, well-lighted place with a straightforward bar-food menu. A dozen flat-screens bedeck the walls; a pair of them, poised behind the bar, make grabbing a stool there a great choice for a night or afternoon of ESPN. If you're not in the mood for a burger and fries, there's a $20 steak on the menu, and a plethora of Schlafly beers on tap to wash it down. Play the Golden Tee in the back if you must, but really, Flannery's is a bit classier than that.
