Flynn’s Garden Inn

A simple extabishment, this is an Irish bar with no pretense. Day time was full of regulars sitting and talking at the bar. The back was perfect for me to sit, write, and be left alone. Drinks were reasonably priced, $ 6 for a Guinness. They have a back yard area where you can smoke, or just enjoy some sunshine. I have no need to be treated as special, I just want a beer in a quiet ish space. I’m sure if I sat at the bar, I could have engaged in a pleasant conversation.

Always a good time here — gonna pop in for some Boxing Day action and a pint or three later today!

What do you mean you fired Jerry? This place cannot be without him.
Has anyone cleaned the bathroom yet?

Absolute liars! They advertised they were playing EVERY game of the rugby world cup and they didn’t play ANY!!! My husband went in to enquire and the old guy behind the bar was so ridiculously rude!!! I see other people have said in their reviews how rude he is and yet he still has a job!!! What a joke. Pitiful and would not recommend to Satan himself to go here. The place itself stinks and a lot of times when we walk past we are accosted by all the revolting smokers out the front so even if you wanted to actually go here you get a lung full of acrid cigarette smoke as you walk in. Disgusting. Worst of the worst. I actually gave it NO stars but Unilocal won’t let you post without. DOES NOT DESERVE ANY STARS AT ALL.

One of the worst bars I’ve ever entered. The bar tender (older man) was unbelievably rude to me, my husband and our out-​of-​town guest.
I will never go in this place again. There are so many better places on Skillman.

Having been out of town on business I returned to my favorite haunt on July 4^th to find the character and charm was sadly missing from this place. A disastrous and ill advised staff change has pulled back the curtain on what was once charming and quirky to what in reality is just an old man gin mill:
— the AC is never on… when I walked in there appeared to be an actual «London Fog» in the place it was so steamy
— the chairs are wet and damp, the floor in disrepair, the bar sticky
— the stench from the seldom cleaned men’s room (with the dollar store toilet seat always broken and on the floor next to the throne) is like a right of passage to get to the outdoor garden. Hand-​soap, who needs hand-​soap…
— one of the bartenders (maybe the owner) who always gives you the wrong change (always in the houses favor you understand), gets your order wrong, and won’t spend money for a lime or two…
— wet coasters used over, and over again, only thrown out when mold appears…
— Christmas parties generously catered with 3 «$ 5 Foot Longs» and some chips… not even a salad…
When I find out where that former employee lands, I’ll let you know. For now, go a few blocks up the the Globe… at least you don’t have to worry about Jack the Ripper when having a pint, and at least it’s clean.

Flynn’s Garden Inn is THE place to go if you live in Sunnyside. A friendly group of regulars is what makes this place so great. The bartenders are all professional and courteous, and more than willing to serve you your favorite drink. The garden out back is a great place to hang out with all of the new friends you will make after a couple of visits. The folks here will make you feel at home and you will leave smiling, even if you’ve had a rotten day. This is the kind of pub where you may walk in a stranger, but you will walk out a friend. Don’t miss out on this gem if you are in Sunnyside!

I’ve stopped by a few times during pub crawls. It’s a real quiet, local bar. No food, only drinks. But there’s a lot of seating and a few televisions up as well. There’s a small back patio, and I think the bar lets you use the BBQ if you bring the food. Pretty sure there’s also some boxes of Scrabble and dominos laying around as well.
Also, this place does NOT take credit cards. But there is an ATM inside.

Came here on a Friday night looking for a chill place to have some drinks with friends. We passed by several Sunnyside bars that were loud and busy, and found this just as we were giving up. Cheap drinks, super friendly bartender, and games! Dominos, yahtzee, scrabble, checkers, etc. We came in around 11 so we didn’t get to use the outdoor space, but I’m sure we’ll be coming back soon.

A very regulars /​locals only type of place … but they’re very welcoming and friendly.
Nice, big backyard and lots of room in the bar too. Good for meeting a group of friends.

The bar itself is just like all the other pubs in the neighborhood except that they have a really nice little back area with a BBQ that they will let you use which is awesome! The staff is always really nice too. One of our more frequented places for sure.

Nice folks-​Good prices-​Give it a go.

Very fun place to hang out. The garden out back is lovely and there’s a grill they let you use. It’s a not a huge space (4 tables) but you can have a really nice BBQ with a group of friends.
Inside was nice, but maybe a bit off-​putting. We were there on a sunday afternoon, so it’s not the ideal bar time (for some). It was very quiet and just a few locals at the bar.
The bar selections are standard and classic. Stick to the basics and you’ll be fine.
