The Flying Squirrel

Great cocktails, food, music and service - Flying Squirrel has pretty much everything we want from an establishment. And when we say great cocktails, you definitely won’t be disappointed. The Mai Tais are exceptional and with a list that also features Bloody Caesars, it’s hard to go wrong. On the food side, the serving sizes are perfect for sharing and it comes out quick - perfect when you’re with a hungry group. Definitely hook into the edamame, polenta chips, arancini, zucchini flowers and the salt and Sichuan squid. Then there’s the service, highlighted by some of the area’s best staff. They’re pleasant, welcoming and don’t seem to forget you on a quiet night like so many often do. The eclectic design of the joint - exposed brick; random items like large bourbon bottles on the walls; plants growing in the sign hanging from the awning - gives it a brilliant, casual vibe. "Perfect for a date!" we hear you say. The Squirrel crew think so too. “99% success rate for first date leg-overs,” the menu says.
