Frequently asked questions

Yes! We have a wide menu of world-class foods, snacks, desserts, and more!

Our tasting room is from 1904 and still features much of the original architecture, fixtures, etc. of the original building. Flanigan’s tasting room is more than just a place to grab a glass of wine, have a cocktail, attend an event, or enjoy a meal. It's a cultural institution that embodies the warmth, conviviality, and storytelling traditions of Ireland. The ingredients for our wines, spirits, world-class foods, and desserts are crafted on site with recipes passed down through generations, ensuring an authentic taste of Ireland is present in all our craft products.

Due to the fact that we sell alcohol at Flanigan's and The Hibernian Events, we don't allow participants under 21 years of age.

Although we aren't completely sure, the building is estimated to have been built sometime in the mid 1850's. In 2023, it was reborn as a captivating event space, seamlessly blends historical charm with modern convenience. Nestled amidst the small town of Bertram Texas, our architectural gem stands as a testament to a bygone era, yet pulses with new life and purpose. The Hibernian Event Space has been meticulously preserved and repurposed to accommodate a variety of hosted events, including Irish High Tea, private meeting events, and even transforming into an authentic prohibition-era speakeasy!

For walk-in Tastings, food, wines, spirits, etc. we accept cash and most major credit cards. For services and events booked online, we accept most major credit cards at the time of booking on our website. Sorry, Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, and the like are not accepted as forms of payment at this time.
