  • The Flat Iron is one of the few surviving long-time bars or cafes in the Flats (and it's both). I don't recall it being "Irish" in my younger days, but it's within sight of the Potato Famine memorial (that Celtic Cross you see by the replica of the Lorenzo Carter cabin), not far from "The Angle" (the historic Irish settlement area), and also not far from where my Irish great-grandfather had a bar in the days before the Flat Iron existed. The Flat Iron used to more of a classic dark, bar-like place, but now has an open, loft-ish set-up and makes a nice impression on a warm spring day, although it lacks the kind of character it once had. The clientele has always been diverse--judges, businessmen, and longshoreman in my memory and on this visit, it included bikers on Harleys, wide-eyed middle aged suburbanites who probably are amazed they don't get mugged downtown (a rare event even in the bad old days), and fratboy junior business types who probably live in nearby condos. The service was quick. The fries were first rate (a blessing in a world where they often are not). The burgers were fine--cooked to order with good quality beef and toppings but not memorable. Looking at other reviews, I wonder why anyone would order the French onion soup (something that's often awful in actual French places) or even the wings (usually industrial chicken with supermarket sauce that reminds me why my parents' childhood poverty stigmatized wings for us). So..not a gourmet place and one whose conventional decor may disappoint those who've heard how legendary it is, but a really a nice place for Saturday afternoon people watching and probably a good lunch spot during the week. The Guiness is on tap, so I'm sure evenings and Irish music work well here, too.
