Flynn's Bar & Diner in Ealing

I visited the pub on the 22nd January 2019 for breakfast. I'd been using the pub intermittently over 10 years or more with no problems. On this occasion I arrived about 12.30 and ordered a beer & breakfast. The new bar maid informed me she had to change the barrel. When it was delivered I suddenly noticed a strong smell like bleach in the bar but assumed they were mopping the decks. When I tasted the beer I gagged. It tasted like (what I imagine) washing up liquid tastes like. There was obviously a large concentration of pipe cleaner in the glass. The barmaid was confused & confessed she didn't know where the overwhelming smell of bleach had come from but admitted my glass of beer stank of it. She called her superior who proceeded to investigate & then flush the line properly. I was told nothing- just platitudes - but she was clearly concerned. After I visited the toilet to clean my throat I was given my money back and offered a different beer. At no point did they admit or advise I had swallowed a caustic substance. It wad all about containing the situation, with no regard to my well being. I left the pub angry at their attitude. I won't be back.

Visited here a few times with family that we visit in Ealing. Now called the old hat,Flynn’s is a lovely lovely pub. Welcoming atmosphere. Decent smoking area with seating. Has a good selection of tonic for your gin (the wife is fussy). Haven’t eaten here but uncle Alan says it’s fantastic.

I've visited Flynns on and off for quite a few years now. More off than on as the majority of staff are not very welcoming to be honest, it's like it hurts to crack a smile for them! Unless you're Irish (which is quite evident as Irish customers are the ones who seem to get service with a genuine smile). I've visited several times in recent months for one reason or another. Chloe is always charming but the others, as I said, are not very friendly. I've even bought staff a drink here and there hoping it might cheer them up but hey ho; they said thanks but still no warmth! The place has been done up recently and I think it looks really good. It's been renamed The Old Hat which I understand was what is was called back in the 1870s, so the place has some history. I've had a meal here a few times and have been fairly satisfied. The music in the evenings is good and most recently when I visited there was a live band that seemed to take hours setting up but once they started playing around 10.30pm (Saturday 3rd February 2018) they had loads of people up and dancing. I thought they were very good - I'm no music expert but I know what sounds good and I enjoyed every tune they belted out as did most everyone present by the look of it. I would also mention here that the ashtrays in the beer garden didn't seem to have been emptied for the whole evening when I was here most recently. Not sure why as there was a lot of people out in the beer garden smoking all evening - glasses were littered over all surfaces so it seems the staff just forget there's even a beer garden outside. Ashtrays were literally overflowing onto the tables as no one had been emptying them all evening, really quite disgusting. The toilets seemed to be in a good condition during the evening which is definitely a plus point compared to some pubs. I would really expect the bar staff to cheer up and be polite and friendly to EVERY customer rather than just nice to their Irish regulars - it might encourage people to have a better time and write some nicer reviews about the place. Even though the place looks good and the music and live bands are enjoyable; the service without a smile definitely loses the place 2 stars. I would really hope things improve as this is walking distance from home for me and I'd be much happier spending my money here if I actually felt welcome.

We order drinks at the bar and that was a mistake as after we couldn't find clean table.... All the tables are so dirty you can stick to them and the staff don't care to clean, saying that I don't think they care about anything. After that I didn't like to try the food as I could imagine how they do the preps. Wine was worm and overprice. Won't be coming back

It's not often I write a review, in fact I can probably count the reviews I've wrote on 1 hand. This place however is on the bottom of my list. The bar woman said there was no ale. What kind of pub doesn't have ale? We thought we were playing it safe ordering fish and chips from the minimalist menu. I don't mind a minimalist menu, but if you do one, you have to make sure the food is on point. This wasn't. Over cooked fish, cold chips. Won't be coming back!

Really excited to have some nice suresh starters and watch the football. My chicken coujons were cooked to perfection apart from the dry meat and burnt breadcrumb coating. My cousin, a vegetarian had a nightmare with his 'homemade' tomato soup, which tasted like he wouldn't even give to his mother- in -law. The bar lady was not very understanding, stating the soup was given an approval by Ainsley Harriott himself. No vegetarian replacements were on the menu so dry mash with undercooked veg was the only option for my 6 foot 1, 220 pound cousin. Thanks. I went for the scampi which im my opinion helps them maintain their Michelin star - great dish, fresh vibrant and oozing flavour. However the Veggie burger my cousin order was not up to scratch, looked like an ice hockey puck, slightly overcooked. But I do appreciate how hard it can be for the chef to serve a diner with only 12 people in it. Lets just push on and work together to get that second star.

Firstly tried to order the vegetable pie with mash and veg. However not available. This was disappointing. Then I ordered a tomato Soup which came out cold and no seasoning whatsoever. Tasted like plummed tinned tomato. I mentioned this to the Irish bar lady and she replied "No one else complained" rather than trying to understand the customers opinion and resolve the poor food served. Eventually they agreed to replace the cold soup so I requested macaroni and cheese and surprise surprise they didn't have any 😳seriously? I was forced to choose mash and veg as a starter and no lie it came out dry unseasoned and lumpy. The veg was raw 🤣😂 no lie. So after eating this raw rabbit food I feared the mains a veggie burger and chips. I bet you thinking they can't mess this up right? Well you're wrong. Chips were raw and uncooked and burger was burnt inside and out. This was all tasted by my cousin who is a chef at the goring hotel which is a Michelin Resturant in a 5 star hotel 😷 Waste of £26 yes I said £26 😆😆 The only thing positive was the blonde at the bar that served a mean j20 👍nice work Flynn's bar. Please sort out the chef and Irish bar lady.

Heard about this pub ages ago and had been meaning to try it for Sunday lunch. So today we did that. Nice friendly staff, and the food was very plentiful. We both had roast beef and some turkey, lots of veg and roast potatoes plus mash. It was ok, quite average. The apple pie was not so nice. Somehow didn't taste much like apple, possibly tinned apples. The surroundings were quite shabby and dated. There was no separate dining area and there was a mix of sports on tv and loud music. Sadly we won't be returning.

Close to hotel Decent pint Mixed crowd music Sports on Tv Does food but did not eat Not the place for a night out but good for a quick pint

Went to Flynns on a Sunday for a casual drink with friends and sampled the Carvery. It was excellent and you certainly won't go hungry! Good clean tradition pub with a good beer range, great food and not expensive at all. Will definitely be back.

abbiamo mangiato in questo locale in estate. Il personale era giovane e cortese, il servizio è stato veloce. Servono piatti tipici inglesi ma anche insalatone. Si può anche andare la mattina per la colazione all'inglese. La sera diventa pub. Ottimo sapore e qualità del cibo

The staff in this bar were all very friendly and welcoming. There was a live ban on the Saturday night we were there which seemed to be a regular thing. There was a lovely covered area out the back which was nice and cosy and allowed our friends to enjoy a smoke without leaving us. I had a lasagna one night which was the best I have ever tasted.

Nice little pub for a drink. It has a nice beer garden. Front smoking garden. Plenty of seating inside and out. Didn't eat here, but have heard from family that it is good. Pints a good one. Barmaids are happy and chatty. Nice little Irish pub.

Åt här 2 gånger, är mycket gammal barkänsla här och är en del lokala londonbor där som gör stället mer mysigt. God öl och bra mat

have been here numerous times for lunch, drinks and Sunday carvery. Always enjoy it. It's the sort of place you can sit and have a coffee and read the newspaper or go to for a crowded sunday lunch with football. It's very warm and welcoming and the food is nice....not gourmet but very nice pub food.

Been coming here over the years.. Sunday roast still good but we were still hungry, felt short changed.. Chef behind the counter is rude and looks annoyed (slammed a couple of slices of meat on the plate), Apple pie is undercooked and has a soggy bottom. Prices have gone up but portions reduced. Not impressed. Will go elsewhere.

Η Broadway στο Ealing έχει όντως πολλές εναλλακτικές για να τσιμπήσεις, μεσημεράκι καθημερινής.

We've visited this pub on and off over the years as it's a 5 minute walk from home but we don't consider it our local and would rather spend our money elsewhere. Here's why: I've been short-changed several times at the bar over the years but didn't make an issue of it as it was a matter of 50p here and there. The bar staff are not the friendliest, but then again, we're not Irish (they do seem to reserve their smiles and greetings for the Irish clientele even though we are always polite when asking for a drink and I always smile and say "please" and "thank you"). We'd rather spend our money where the service is better and the staff don't try to cheat you. Recently hubby has been visiting on Sundays to watch the football and have a couple of drinks whilst watching the footie and yesterday he was not impressed having ordered a drink costing £3.10 and ordering the same drink half an hour later and being advised it was £4.10, he handed over £3.10 as he wanted to get rid of some change. The girl serving him had asked a colleague how much the drink was and she was clearly told £3.10 but having said £4.10 to my husband she didn't even apologise when he handed over exactly the same amount he'd paid earlier and the amount the other barperson had stated. This comes across as blatantly trying to cheat customers. As hubby was watching the football he didn't want to make a fuss but felt we had to write about it here so other can be warned!

Gran variedad de cervezas, local con gran calidez, muy acogedor. Decoración excelente y todos los deportes televisados a tu disposición! Domingos Roast Beef!!

Recently went to Flynn's for a meal recently

アイリッシュパブは世界中にあります。でも、本当においしいアイルランド料理（ベーコン＆キャベツやアイリッシュシチューそしてソーダブレッドなど）を出すお店はロンドンでも多くはないと思います。Flynn'sのすごいところは美味しくオーセンティックな料理を驚くほど手ごろな値段で出してくれるということにあると思います。どんな食べ物でも、お金を出せば品質はあげられるでしょう。でも、日替わり定食が5ポンド以下でしかも美味しくお腹いっぱいになるというのは昨今のロンドンではかなりめずらしいことです。
