The Flying Duck is a lovely pub to while away a sunny Sunday afternoon. Its location (set back from Chapel St), means that the place is never crowded or full of tourists who caught the train in from Frangga for the arvo to buy some Ed Hardy. The Flying Duck has one of the nicest beer gardens I’ve ever seen. I love the palm trees, the long wooden benches and the glass atrium room. I also like the way the pub still has the old school front bar with a few regulars and sport on the telly.
Drink prices are also much more reasonable than some of the Flying Duck’s Chapel St counterparts. There is a good selection of tap beers and the wine list is great, again very reasonably priced. The food is acceptable, but I think it could be better, and more interesting and inventive. Food prices could probably be around 10-15% cheaper, given that it’s a locals pub, but this is only a minor complaint. Don’t let my nitpicking about the food put you off. If it’s a sunny afternoon and you’re down that way you must stop by.
Ooh and apparently they have an afternoon where you can bring your dog along to the pub with you :) Can't remember which day it is though.
