Iconic sports bar with affordable eats, ribs, wings, and lots of TVs
"Lean into the cliche. You are but two moths to a flame—the flame here being mounted trophy fish, green Christmas lights, and meat you eat with your fingers. Pick any location that’s convenient, although we have a soft spot for the Coconut Grove and Surfside locations. Order ribs or wings (remember, you’re leaning into cliche). Dare you suggest sharing? Can the friendship handle that level of intimacy yet? Find out beneath the green glow of a restaurant that feels like Guy Harvey’s subconscious." - ryan pfeffer
"We officially declared this Flanigan’s the best one in the county—not because they have the tastiest rib rolls but because it exudes that salty personality of classic Coconut Grove. Maybe it has more green twinkle lights per square foot (they’re even in the parking lot). There’s just so much personal history embedded between these wooden walls and fake marlins that people tend to assume it’s the original Flanny’s. It’s not, but it is the coolest. It’s also open until 4:30am every day—so consider it your essential last stop after a night out in the neighborhood." - virginia otazo
"A hometown favorite spot to watch games or just hang with friends, Flanigan’s is the reason almost everyone in Miami has a cabinet full of big green plastic cups. With locations all over South Florida, massive burgers, racks of ribs, and insane nightly specials like half price drinks after 9 p.m. are always nearby." - Amber Love Bond
"Wait time on a random Saturday at 8pm: one hour & 20 mins to one hour & 45 mins One immediate thing that separates the Grove Flanigan’s from its brethren (other than the intense Saturday night wait times) is that it’s open until 4:30am every day. So this Flanigan’s is here to party. If you’re looking for a quieter meal, go early and ask to be seated in the room with the rainbow fish tank, where you can sit with your kids and not worry about them asking why that loud man called the referee on TV a “comemierda.” But if a drinking scene is what you’re looking for, head to the opposite room, where you’ll find a giant bar and strangers with the same mindset. A lot of people think this is the original Flanigan’s—it’s not (that’s in Pompano). But there is something about this one that shines brighter than the rest. Maybe it has more green twinkle lights per square foot (they’re even in the parking lot). Or perhaps this is one of the few places left in the Grove that still feels true to its days of rickshaws and moose juice." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"The collective Miami internet has an obsession with Flanigan’s. So there’s a chance you’ll be featured on r/Miami or some local meme page if you do the deed over rib rolls and tumbleweed onions. But maybe you’re trying to become the local internet villain of the week, in which case you’re doing your significant other a favor by breaking up with them. Luckily for you, there’s a Big Daddy’s next door since that flantini you ordered (deservedly) ended up on your face. If things truly do get out of hand, you can always run to the security guard on duty in the parking lot. The Coconut Grove location has one (maybe this happens at Flanigan’s more than we realize). We hope that internet clout was worth it." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
