Lily Flanagan's - Islip

The restaurant offered delicious Irish cuisine in a clean environment with friendly staff and well-crafted decor. However, when we ordered a beer at the Irish bar, we were disappointed with the selection as the bierhahn was not up to par. Many bars switch up their beer selection to offer new and interesting options, but this one seemed to still be sticking to mainstream options like Budweiser. We had one beer with our meal before deciding to look elsewhere for better options.

This establishment is actually a bar, but the food is surprisingly good. The wings are to die for. The menu goes above and beyond your typical bar fare, offering options like steak even late at night. A few weeks ago, my friends and I enjoyed steak and appetizers at 1am, and we found it to be very affordable. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. The crowd seemed to be mostly young people in their 20s and 30s.

The food was delicious with generous portions. Sean, our server, was friendly and polite despite being busy. His thick Irish accent added to the Irish atmosphere of the restaurant. There is outdoor seating and parking in the back without any meters, unlike Bay Shore. The fish and chips were fantastic, served with malt vinegar. I had no problem switching my side to a salad. Overall, a great experience.
