Cleveland’s Irish Pub
SINCE 1997

Our Story

Some Bars Serve Drinks. Flannery’s Serves Cleveland

Since Denis Flannery opened these doors on East 4th Street in 1997, this place has been more than a pub. It’s been a front-row seat to everything Cleveland has lived through. The heartbreaks, the championships, the comebacks and everything in between.

A Cleveland Staple

Through all of it, one thing has never changed - the people. Denis built Flannery’s on a simple belief: that a great pub should be a place where anyone, regardless of background, race or religion, can pull up a stool and feel at home.

Nearly 30 years later, that’s still exactly what Flannery’s is. A true Irish pub in the heart of Downtown Cleveland, cold Guinness on draft, classic pub fare done right, and the kind of energy that keeps Cleveland coming back.

Built on Beer, Community & Cleveland Pride.
