The Flying Walrus Mcallen Reviews
Went to the open mic. I had so much fun!!!! The best place ever ❤️!! Julian ,is such a great host! Thank you, Y'alll for letting me perform 🎭 my stand up comedy 😃
I stopped by with a friend a couple of weeks ago on a Friday and we had a good time. We got there early enough to play pool without having to wait, and it was pretty cheap (I think it was $5 per hour). They also had a live band playing in the back, and while I didn't really check that out, I know it's one of the things the Flying Walrus is known for. All in all, a fun time!
Great staff and ambiance with multi-sectional spot for any of your vibes.
Good place to chill. Liked the live band.
I’ve traveled all over and been to bars all over the United States , this is one of my top 5 bars all time. The food is solid had the wings , the service is pretty good. Went on a night with metal/Alt rock cover bands excellent venue for music. had the best time ever. Drinks are a little expensive but it’s safe clean and the people of the valley are extremely kind to a gringo , in fact some of the nicest of anywhere I’ve been in the United States 😂 highly recommend
Best bone-in wings i ever tried period! nothing else comes close to these!
Great spot for local bands. Also awesome place for hang out and listen to good music.
Love this place. I've been a few times to see a cover band I am fond of and this place never lets me down. Great Staff, service and environment.
One of the few places that actually lets heavier band play. Here you can catch a metalcore band play or even a thrash metal band. Good place all around
Great place for downtown rock music as an alternative to the club scene. The staff is always helpful and interested in getting you what you need. The billiards area is small but if you get there early enough you get yourself a decent place to hang out with friends. Having three bars makes it easy to get a drink anywhere in this venue.
Open mic night is so fun i highly recommend. Someone told me the food was bad here and its really not i got the tenders and the seasoning on the fries was good just wish they out it on the tenders cause they were a bit bland. Ive had the pizza its ok. And the wings i cant remember but they were edible. Great place
Great bar and ambiance . I went on Wednesday on Flying mic night and it was very fun. Food is great too, only thing I would add is more choices for craft beer and a mixology menu.
Great Pizza!!! Good place to hang drink some beers, play pool or catch a show. Did I mention the pizza? The pizza is super good especially when you feeling buzzed. Next time you pass The Flying Walrus don't judge it by its looks. Go inside order a pizza and enjoy a live show in the back.
Hands down the best bar in McAllen to have a good time. Staff is friendly, drinks are priced well, and the music is always good, especially live music. Highly recommend.
Great place to meet new people’s vibe is off the wall and the live music hits
This is on the upstairs deck where u get a Great view of the band and the crowd! Great spot to go with friends(: They got pool tables, indoor and outdoor bar! Food and live Music, support you local bands!
The Undeclared band rocked the house! They have a harmony like no other and as a brother, I truly enjoy their energy, performance, passion, and natural talent. The proficiency from the drummer to the two guitarist was life changing. They play on Tuesday's and Thursday's, so if you are in town, go dowm 17th and check them out at the Flying Warius while you can. I'm sure they'll get signed or sponsoref if not already!.
Great music and amazing wings and pizza. Especially on Saturday is the prime time. But any other time they do have pool tables to pass a good time.
always such a great time, atmosphere is great and alcohol is well priced.
I recently visited this place and was disappointed with the service. The staff member working near the pool tables, named Andy, was very inattentive. Several customers, including myself, were trying to order food and drinks, but he seemed more focused on chatting with his regulars than actually helping the people who needed service. It was frustrating having to wait so long just to get his attention. I really hope they improve their customer service because the environment itself has potential, but the experience wasn’t great.
I'm cracking up. My of age friend (27) was denied drinks when she had her paper permit and phone photo and now TFW had its permit revoked (as per The Benchwire), oh the irony. Drinks were alright.
