Flying Saucer - Houston

Ok, here is a fine establishment located in the Downtown area of Houston for you people interested in tempting the palate with one of the multitude of beer (pronounced Be-ah) styles available. If you're one of those that orda their beer utilizing only the first three lettas of the actual BIG BEER company, this place isn't for you. Don't offend the bahtenda who probably has to go to some dahk closet to get it for you and then force the rest of us to sit and watch. This place is for serious BEER drinkas only. The bah wall is adorned with just under 100 taps of pure goodness and the chilled closets hold some 200 bottle varieties of god-like nectar. The styles available ah pretty much anything a serious beer drinka would be interested in throwing back.
How do you get it, you ask? Well if it were me, I'd sit at one of the many tables in the floor area or in the loft and flag down one of those pieces of eye candy that is eaga to wait on you. BTW, these aren't just any wait staff, these girls are well-trained "Beer Goddesses". Whetha your a REAL BEER virgin or a returning connoisseur, these kilt wearing babes can inform and retrieve all that ALES you. There's nothing more impressive than a girl that knows her beer, and they definitely do! Kudos FS, kudos! Those of us that ah not virgins expect to pay a little more for the good stuff. So what can you expect? Well, a typical pint will run $4.50; the fancier style and ABV% will increase your cost and decrease your wallet all the way to the most expensive Mead at a whopping $35. Don't "cac" yourself yet, they make good by offering 22 oz. "biggie" beers during their Tues-Thurs, 4-7 Happy Hour & Fri 4-8. Also, educate yourself and hit a "Brewery Nite", or "Tap Nite" for all the latest offerings. For the real playas, join the UFO club, drink 200 (3 per nite) and get your well-earned plate on the wall of fame!
So, all this necta gives me the munchies. The FS offers non-traditional, simple bah food. What the hell is that, right? If you're looking for a burga, forget it. Replace that craving with a Brat samich, Brat nachos, Goat cheese pizza, Chicken samich with pesto-mayo, Hot wings, Beer-cheese soup or Meat & cheese trays, to name a few. One thing I do guarantee is NO cheapo ingredients; La Baccia buns, habanero sour-cream, & jalapeno vinairgrette round out these tasties. You can expect about average bah prices or slightly above to cure your hunga.
Wrapping up this exciting review for me is letting you know that the FS has a pubish look and feel, with a loud, sausage-fest corporate crowd and peaks of cleavage here and there not including the goddesses. Astros fans are a plenty on game night and the FS is a great place to meet-up prior to walking over to Minute Maid or sit and view on the TV's strategically located. If that's not your fancy, play a game of dahts with your bros or broettes or act like a child and play one of the video games.
It's been a pleasure to view and review the "Flying Saucer" for you. I hope you've learned something and if not, then you're not worthy anyway or just need to go see for yourself. This is the first of many reviews myself and my other beer bros and babes will share. As always, drink responsibly and Póg Mo Thóin!!!!
