Our Story

In 1957, Bob Flanagan was looking for a new venture. He found it one mile from home. A combination gas station, convenience store and small beer bar. What more could a man need to meet the essentials and keep out of his wife's hair. He soon realized that pumping gas was tedious, and selling groceries wasn't quite the thrill as pouring another deserving beverage and sharing a tale or two.

In 1971, it was time for Bob to move from his stool behind the bar to a stool on the other side, next to Lee. Most of the kids were grown and married - despite the advice of their father. The reins (or kegs) were passed on the last, single son - Mat. Although the responsibility seemed awesome, he went in like a trooper. He knew how to drink and tell stories. The basics were inherited and the rest would follow. He was ready.

In Memory of Madison Eubanks

As most of you have heard by now, we lost a very dear, sweet, precious member of our Flanagan's family, Madison Eubanks. Maddie's beautiful smile will be so very missed. She was a beautiful young woman, with such a bright future ahead of her. A life taken far too early. We will all miss her sparkling eyes, huge warm smile, bubbly spirit, and very friendly presence at Flanagan's. It's almost as if it's not real, as if she will be walking in this weekend for work, smiling and laughing about the latest chatter here at Flanagan's. But she won't. She will be missed so much. Our sympathy and heartfelt prayers go out to her family and friends. May the memories of the beautiful and amazing Maddie live on in each of us.
