Description: The Flying Saucer can get rather busy on certain nights. I know that on pint night (I believe on Thursday), people crowd in to get the specialty glass of the evening.
The bar is pretty large, and during warm weather, they open the windows of the two sides to make it sort of an open-air bar (a lot of places in Memphis do this). The decor is pretty decent, and on certain nights, they have live music. I don't believe there is a cover on weeknights.
They have a fantastic selection of beers--everything from pear cider to cherry beer to Guinness. They have an large amount of beers on tap. In addition, they also have a beer sampler of six (I think it was six) beers that you can try. Although they may not have your favorite beer, I think they do a nice job trying to include beers from the major regions of the world.
In addition, if you intend to be in Memphis for a while (or are just in for a serious night of drinking), they keep track of all the beers that you have tried, and once you have tried them all, you get your name on the ceiling (I believe it's a giant saucer). Go to the Flying Saucer, try a beer you can't pronounce, and have some fun!
