Description

For beer connoisseurs, there's no better place to taste, toast and toss back a few brews than the Flying Saucer. With hundreds of beers available and more than enough incentive to drink all of them, you'll find yourself coming back not for the cheap, fried food and not the attractive, ever-inebriated barflies, but for the challenge. Those who can earn it - and yes, they earn it by drinking at least 200 different beers - are honored by all who enter with plates bearing their names fastened up high on the walls. While the Saucer is a chain, it feels more homegrown than that.

2007 | Best Neighborhood Spot Downtown

Ask any downtown dweller where you can get a cold beer and a sandwich at any time of the day or week, and they will tell you The Flying Saucer. Said dweller may or may not mention the waitresses in short skirts, the wide selection of beer, the tasty bar food and the fact that it's open late on Sundays, which is pretty hard to come by downtown. The Saucer has become a place for people of all walks of life to step out of the busy downtown hustle and cool off while getting good service in a... More »
2000 | Best Beer Selection

Few Best of Houston categories are as clear-cut as this. Just count the taps. The newly opened Flying Saucer, in the newly renamed St. Germain building (it's known to real Houstonians as the H.S. Kress building), has 85 draft beer taps flowing. If nothing looks good on tap, there are also 130 bottled beers available. A menu divides the draft beers into light, amber and dark. Or you can taste by nationality. If you're in a hurry, for $6.50, a flight of five different draft beers in five-ounce... More »

Dark Side of the Moon

By Chris Boyd | Thu, August 31, 2006

Soon after I arrive at the Flying Saucer Draught Emporium (705 Main, 713-228-9472) and order a Dark Side of the Moon, I strike up a conversation with the guy sitting next to me. His name is John, he's originally from London, and he's a world-trave... More »
Flying High

By Eileen Aguirre | Thu, December 15, 2005

It's the end of the weekend, the super-long shitty weekend of all weekends. I find myself at the Flying Saucer Draught Emporium (705 Main). My very own personal safe haven, my home away from home, if you will. Cheers has nothing on the Saucer. Eve... More »
Draught Dodger

By George Alexander | Thu, May 25, 2000

Earlier this month, Houston was supposed to be treated to a little nubbin of Baja Oklahoma taste, sophistication and glamour, something sorely needed in our sultry, sweaty, sodden, sinful port city on the Mexican Gulf. Shannon Wynne, the Dallasite... More »
