Wings, beer-cheese soup and other bar foods comprise the menu, but it isn't the food that makes Flying Saucer special. It's all about the brew here, with maybe a little pool or darts thrown in. Trivia nights and beer specials like $2.50 pint night are wildly popular, as is the arduous quest by hop-heads to earn a coveted spot in the "UFO club" by tasting untold numbers of beers.
