Too bad you guys were disrespectful and rude at the Fly, and Red Door East is awesome! But they also don't put up with rude people like yourselves.....

Go To Red Door East Instead!

by sumar84

I had the unfortunate experience of visiting this establishment for the first time on Saturday evening. I won't go into all of the details because there is a character limit and I will be writing out the details in my email to the corporate office. But, I will say that I have never encountered such unfriendly, horrible service in my life. My party and I were treated like flies at a picnic as if we were disgusting, unwelcomed insects. We endured two rude staff members and general chaos to find a seat but we drew the line when our waitress told a member of our party "don't f**k with me". I think I should also mention that we were not drunk and not disrespectful to the staff in any way. When we brought our issues to the manager's attention, she explained to us that they were "very busy" and the staff was probably just stressed. That's not going to cut it. So, if you want to be treated like a major inconvenience, this is your kind of bar.

• Pros: decor, beer selection
• Cons: STAFF, MANAGEMENT, SERVICE

Great bar to chill at.

by outkast4

I love the Saucer. Took some buddies of mine there for one of their birthdays. We just had a great time knocking back a few and watching the games on tv.

The atmosphere is great, beer is good and its just a fun place to hang.

Great Atmoshere and Diverse

by rajbala85

some people have complained about the servicehere. My service was pretty decent whenever I have gone. The flying saucer has the best of both worlds. It's a happening place, yet it's laidback. I like to go every once in a while with a group of people and throw back a few. They have got a huge projection TV if u want to watch the ball game. I would suggest eating before hand, but appetizers are decent. If you are willing to spend 10 or 15 bucks, plus tips. It's definately worth it.

• Pros: Fun place to socialize and have few beers.
• Cons: I would eat dinner before going, appetizers are decent but not worth the price.

Waitresses are beautiful

by lovebeer

Awesome food, great service (Laura) you have to ask for her when you go! Incredible belgium beer selection. They are smoking, but I did see smoke eaters in every room which was impressive. We went on 80's night (Thursday) and what a blast! The Band Bueller rocked and the beer never stopped! definatley my new stomping ground!

• Pros: Great place to meet guys!
• Cons: parking is complicated

Excellent Beer Selection, unfortunate staff.

by benpatient

I've spent several hundred dollars in this establishment over the past 6 years. I love their beer wall. The flytes from around the world are awesome. Monday night prices for wall beers are excellent. But if you're reading this, you're seeing a one-star rating and wondering why. It all boils down to one word: Service.

It seems that every time I go to the Saucer, the service gets worse. I visit once every 3-4 months, so the decline has been very noticeable. Maybe they have new management. Maybe new owners. Maybe they're just getting lazy. I am not sure what the reasons might be, but service is slow and more often than not, rude. At the White Trash Cafe, rude service is part of the schtick. Saucer has its own vibe, and it used to be a pretty cool one. Now it feels more annoying than anything else. If I go these days, it is in spite of the service, because I want to try a particular beer, not because I enjoy my time there.

I've also noticed that since the smoking ban went into effect in Nashville earlier this year, there are more and more people there just because they allow smoking. So everyone seems to be smoking. In years past, it was just a few guys smoking cigars in the corner. Now the whole place smells like an ash tray. Not exactly the mouth flavor you want when you're trying to enjoy a 15 dollar bottle of a rare imported triple-stout.

Even at lunch, the establishment is 21 and up only, so it is all smoking, all the time. Lots of places around town have implemented "21 and up after 5 pm" sorts of rules to comply with the smoking ban during eating hours.

You'd think that a place with 70+ beers on tap would value customers who are looking for something more than a Coors Light. People with dead taste buds from smoking all the time don't usually want to spend more than the bare minimum on beer, because they can't taste it anyway.

My reluctant advice: The Flying Saucer is to be missed at all costs. I'll have to find somewhere else.

• Pros: Beer Selection, Bratwurst, Monday Night prices
• Cons: Bad Staff, No Free Parking, Stinky/Dingy atmosphere, Excessive Cigarette Smoke

great beer, service lacking

by vegabon

Great beer selection, especially on Pint night. Chill hangout with couches and nice decor. Pretty loud and crowded though. Service is pretty slow. I hate the server's outfits. If your into extremley short skirts and knee socks though, you'll love it.

• Pros: beer, cider, food
• Cons: service

take it from me, my name is on the wall!

by arkador

Amazing service, friendly atmosphere, and a relaxing beer garden.

I enjoyed the UFO club (drink 200 different beers, and get your name on the wall) which i completed before moving to the Fort Worth, TX area (Home of the original Flying Saucer)

• Pros: UFO Club, knowledge of their beers, great location
• Cons: if you cannot find free parking, it is $2 in the lot
