Me and my family have been doing business with Lily Flanagan’s for several decades now and I’ve had mixed experiences. I have thrown several parties here and they ended up going decently. However, I did come in for dinner last night and my experience was just meh. I felt the staff ranging from the hostess and my server wanted to rush us in and out despite there being a low number of people dining in the place and they treated the person with me alot better than me and left me with sink water from a what appears to be over 20 year old sink rather than giving me fresh water as well, who knows what germs are living in that faucet that they don’t know about/don’t want to make public. I also ordered a lemonade and the server thought she could get away with just squeezing once lemon in a glass of water when I wasn’t looking and be able to call it a lemonade. For over 4$ a glass I expect real lemonade, not some water with lemon flavoring. The nachos were alright however, as I am writing this now in bed I am experiencing horrible acid reflux from either the cheese or something else which is annoying. The burger was ok for $10 but could be better. The person with me also tried one of the fish and wasn’t too too impressed with it. I also want to note that it was very loud in the dining room by the bar for a Monday night so if you don’t like that don’t come here, you can talk a little bit but it was difficult to hear yourself think. But yea the way I was treated by my server since she didn’t know I was an adult was completely wrong and would have me reconsider going out of my way to dine at this establishment. I live almost 20 minutes away so I don’t think I’ll come here anymore unless it’s for a party or if I’m in the area with my family. Please update your place and please train some of your staff to be a little more respectful to the customer as it can hurt your business in the long run. I gave these guys the benefit of the doubt since the owners are very humble people and have done a lot to accommodate my family and I over the last few decades, but professionally this place would fall in the 2-3 stars range. Hopefully this place improves by the time I return and maybe they will consider some minor renovations in a few areas by the bar area soon.

Got the Baja fish tacos, steak sandwich and Nachos- all were amazing. Server was really nice and the outside patio was a nice place to eat.

I do not like leaving negative reviews but I am hoping Lily's will take this review and try to make the correct changes. I stopped in yesterday with my boyfriend around 7pm and the place was packed with a good amount of people patronizing the local bands. However, after the bands left, the crowd turned into a bunch of underage looking kids. We decided to leave but the main door we came through had been closed off. We then had to find our way out of the crowd of about 100+ kids that had gathered outside. Not only were there no bouncers in sight to control the crowd, but it felt like a huge fire hazard not having multiple clear exits with no obstruction. I hope they work on this matter so no one gets hurt.

I've visited Lily's several times, and this most recent visit was for a fundraiser.
The appetizers we ordered were all quite tasty.
They also had a buffet with lots of options, all of which were delicious. The Shepard's Pie was excellent.
It's a big bar/pub with dining options.
The restaurant has a large bar that serves two sides and a lot of tables.
It's informal and offers lots of parking.

I have been here many times for drinks but finally decided to try it for dinner and it was a pleasant surprise! The menu has tons of choices, both Irish and American cuisine. Lots of appetizers, which is great for sharing with a big group. The drinks are always good too! We enjoyed a flatbread, steak tidbits, duck breast and dessert. It's a nice sized space with pleasant service!
