May 14 The Flying Cock Pub

What do you expect from a place named The Flying Cock Pub? Decorative Roosters? How about a fun, masculine energy -- because that’s what you get at the Flying Cock Pub, an Irish-esque bar located right in the heart of Murray Hill, at 3rd Avenue and 34th street.

Opened in January 2016, the Flying Cock Pub already has stellar reviews on yelp, where reviewers praise their bar food and drinks. Now, the pub’s trying something a little new, kicking off the arrival of spring with an overhaul to their menu, adding new fusion dishes in addition to the classic favorites.

But of course, at a bar, the first thing you should try out are the drinks. The Flying Cock Pub has a number of original cocktails, including the Don’t Be So Old Fashioned (fig-infused bourbon, maple syrup, Averna, apple bitters, orange zest) and the You So Cocky (vodka, cucumber, lemon, honey, elderflower, edible gold glitter), and my personal favorite, the Finding Nemo -- a tequila, grapefruit, blue orange liqueur, lime, and ginger beer blend served with gummy fish in a clear pouch.

Then came the appetizers -- here especially, the fusion dishes shine bright, with the highly inventive reuben spring rolls, which blend traditional spring rolls with the fixings of a reuben sandwich, as well as the sweet potato poutine, which mixes Canadian grub with classic Korean cuisine.

Although we were stuffed from the appetizers, my friend and I made room for our main courses: an All American Burger for him and the Santa Fe Chicken Wrap for me. Both were delicious, and our fellow patrons (as well as our waiter!) also vouched for the bar’s signature dish: The Crispy Flying Cock; a fried chicken sandwich with jalapeno slaw and spicy mayo on a ciabatta hero. Also vouched for was the Cinna Bec, a bacon egg and cheese sandwiched between a cinnamon doughnut. While I couldn’t handle it on this particular night, the Cinna Bec is definitely on my to-do list when I return to the pub, as well as something off their mouth-watering dessert menu.
