I stopped in w/ a friend one evening to catch up - my first time there, but my friend was pretty familiar with this spot, as he grew up in the area and had gone a bunch of times over the years. In fact, he said that he recognized a few of the staff there from the many times he'd been there before, though he hadn't been there in more recent years. Nice to have that history, and it's a charming spot - not modern like Sly Fox also in town, but I really appreciate the dive vibes! Each of us ordered a beer (I ordered an Icelandic one, which was quite nice), pretty great price on beer IMO, and the food was on point as well. I ordered chicken wings with buffalo sauce, and they tasted great! Service was pretty great - our server was attentive and swung by a good amount of times to check on us, as we sat in the corner to try to have a little less noise vs being right by the bar. She's the one that my friend said he recognized from years past. Overall I definitely appreciated this spot and would absolutely be open to returning! read more

Nice place to have drinks. We did not try the food at this establishment, so I cannot comment on its quality. We went there primarily for drinks. I enjoyed the ambiance and found it to have something quite special with all these flying pigs around. I ordered a Margherita, which was very good. The service was excellent: quick, attentive, and friendly. read more

This place has great food that's not run of the mill. The beer selection is top notch and always delivers. Close to the train for the Septa train beer crawl. IYKYK read more

Food, atmosphere and service are outstanding! Downtown in a great location. Be sure to try the Mac and cheese!

One of the most toxic staffs imaginable. A few of them are nice people (or nice at times), but they treat it like their own private club. They drink with their friends and ignore others. They close whenever they feel like it. The main bartender, Liz, is frequently drunk, rarely gives the correct change (maybe she's just pocketing it and hoping people won't notice), and snaps at regulars. Apparently she's tight with the owner, because he defends her at all costs, even telling locals she arbitrarily dislikes to go elsewhere. I witnessed another bartender who spontaneously broke out in a dance routine and sang, "SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY" to a customer. It wasn't an inside joke, nor an isolated incident for her. Mike Troupe gets his jollies power-tripping and kicking people out for things as silly as recommending that they update the chalkboard when they run out of a beer. Then there's the owner, Steve Iacobucci. He's the captain of this clown show. Just read the reviews here and elsewhere, and ask yourself, "if a bartender or server treated a customer like that, why are they STILL working there?" Because they follow Steve's lead. read more

This place rocks! It has a good local pub feel. They have great food and a ton of beers on draft. We got some fries, a buffalo chicken wrap and wings! The wings we super good! The buffalo sauce was buttery and the fries were crispy. The Guinness is great! Food and drinks came out super quick, great service! read more

Great ambience, good service, good but not great beer selection and decent food. Not for people watching their weight. We like to go here after doing our fasting blood work at nearby hospital. My beautiful wife really likes it and I think it's good but short of excellent. read more

Came here on a Wednesday after work. Sat in the bar area. Beautiful restaurant and bar. Could tell many people were there after work but we were disappointed to see no happy hour specials. Drinks were amazing but pricey. Food was delicious. We will be back but would probably return more if happy hour specials became a thing read more

One of those most authentic pubs on the main line with a great beer list to rival any. We're big fans of Belgian beer and were super impressed to see beers from there that you just don't see anywhere except maybe Monks downtown. It's great for any occasion whether that's just sitting at the bar with your friend or bringing the whole family. read more

Don't go here unless your a local and by that I mean a local drunk! That's the vibe, walked in 8pm mid week and most everyone was drunk including the female bartender. I was greeted with dirty looks as " someone they didn't know" came in. Bartender was chatting and couldn't be bothered to come over and take my order, and when she did she was so out of it she had a hard time understanding what I was ordering and then rude guy next me said just 'F' order! Unbelievable.. Question to owner's, do you want bar that's more of a private club that new customers aren't welcome because that's what you have , or a real business? read more

Was in Malvern for a work trip and we stopped in here for lunch. Awesome selection of beers and a menu with great sandwich options. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a no frills spot with great food and ambiance. read more

We're visiting from out of State. We found The Flying Pig by accident. Took a wrong turn and got lost. Turned out it was the BEST thing that happened. It's absolutely awesome ambiance, atmosphere and the food is absolutely delicious! We are beyond happy with the entire experience. We will definitely be recommending this hidden gem to everyone we know coming to Malvern or anywhere near here! read more

A fun place in Malvern. Went here on a Saturday night, it was pretty busy. It definitely feels like more of a bar than a restaurant but they have plenty of tables and a pretty sizable food menu. They were unfortunately out of some of the items on the menu. I had a buffalo chicken wrap which was pretty good. Staff was super friendly and service was great. Would definitely go back. read more

The Flying Pig Saloon - Buffalo Chicken Wrap - Pubs Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

Some of the best food and service I have had at a small diner and bar In a long time.

We stopped in for a very quick bite while we waited on the next train. Service was so fast and friendly! We didn't stop to take pics, the the prices are good and the portions are HUGE! We tried the tuna club with fries, potato skins, and pulled pork quesadilla. The tuna club was a little dry, but didn't skimp on the lettuce, tomatoes, bacon or tuna. If I got it again I'd ask for extra mayo, onions, and maybe mustard (but that's just how I like my tuna sandwich). The potato skins seemed like half a potato each and came with 8 very large skins....covered in tons of cheese and bacon and served with sour cream. The quesadilla was cooked very well with the tortilla nice and crispy. The pork was very tender and flavorful; comes with sour cream, salsa, and shredded lettuce. It's a very quick 5 minute walk from the train station and was very relaxed. Plenty of TVs to watch sports and a digital jukebox. It was pretty busy inside and everyone seemed to be having a great time! There were also a couple of tables outside to the left, but didn't look to be in use (not even sure if they were theirs or another business). We definitely found our go to spot when we need to take that train route. read more

Had a wonderful experience today at the Flying pig.. Chicken cheese steak for my wife and I with Long hots and some of the best french fries I've had. our bartender, Brooke, as always,is friendly and very attentive. Always good food and cold beer! read more

Stopped in for lunch over a weekend visit to the area. Neighborhood bar with a vast tap selection. I don't drink but if you're a drinker you'd likely find something you liked as the choices were abundant. I got the Barnyard sandwich and the food was excellent. Everyone in our 7 person group enjoyed their food. Service was adequate but definitely on the slower side. Atmosphere was a loud bar, so if you like a quiet meal...this isn't the place. Would eat here again though as the food was amazing. read more

What a gem. Never would have expected such a cool dive bar in Malvern. Great vibes. Service was attentive even when they were busy. Speaking of drinks, if you can't find what you want here, you're trying too hard. Vast menu of everything you could need to wet your whistle. Food looked good, though we just stayed for drinks. Would definitely be a regular if I lived near by. read more

We came here to grab a drink and grab a bite to eat. We tried a few appetizers: the spicy cheese fries, the potstickers, and the jalepeño poppers. I think the fries were my favorite (I combined the spicy fries and the cheese fries on the menu). It's a pretty neat bar. I loved the decor -- there are flying pigs everywhere. There's a large drink selection. Plenty of beer options, but others as well (like cider). This is a good place to grab a drink, but I'd probably go elsewhere for food. It seemed like pretty standard bar food. We would have stayed longer, but it was a nice day and we wanted to go somewhere that we could sit outside. read more

This blast is a blast. Great staff and amazing burger and fries. Defiantly a place you need to stop.

We moved to the area recently and wanted to give this place a try. Their signature pork belly is really good - tender, juicy with good char. The service is fast, the ambiance is good and there are lots beer to choose from. read more

Well of course pigs can't fly! But that's why they have The Flying Pig Saloon! This is a quintessential dive bar with lots of locals and regulars; a killer beer list, and good food for cheap prices. With the name Flying Pig, anything Pig related is where it's at. The pork sand is a favorite and you can get different styles (peppas & prov is the best IMO). The pork belly app looked amaze too; we went with calamari instead of that but definitely next time; we're getting that belly. The beers range from wheats to dark IPAs to stouts to pale ales. The Sam Smith stout (bottle) is a tasty and rare one. It's much better than the music artist himself cause I know I'm not the only one... who feels that way! It may look crowded when you walk in as there's the bar and a small dining area next to it but we had plenty of room to maneuver and our server didn't leave us behind. Turns out she's been there for several years and it's the longest tenure she's had at one place. I can salute that easily. For a small town like Malvern, Flying Pig Saloon comes up big in many ways! read more

HUGE beer selection. Took a long time to get served. I ordered "warm spinach salad." It was not warm. Waitress said the sauce is warm, which it kinda was. Candied pecans tasted chemically. Hubs had roast beef wrap which he said was good. Bro had pulled pork which he like. read more

A classic vintage pub near Malvern railway station. It is a beautiful cabin kind of place which is typically crowded. One would have a great time here and worth revisiting. They have a huge selection of craft and can beers and IPAs. read more

Came into the establishment at 11 PM. Was turned away as soon as I walked up to the bar while others sat around me getting served. Was told that the bar was closed. I would hate to bring race into a subject like this. But I think that played a major role. Would not recommend this bar for any of my brothers or sisters. It's a shame. The place closes at 12am, As stated on the website numerous websites There were 6 people sitting in there. I honestly think I was turned away because of the color of my skin. read more

I've visited here twice, both times for dinner around 6:00 PM on the weekend. The place is a neighborhood pub, and the decor is inviting. The staff are friendly, but can sometimes be a little scarce (For context, I am writing this during the COVID-19 labor shortage). Our orders were taken fairly quickly, and we did not wait too long for our food. My experience so far has been that while some food items are merely "OK", others (especially hot sandwiches) are very good. There is also a vast beer selection. I enjoyed both of my visits, and will gladly return. My one caution is that this place can get loud when it fills up, but I did begin this review by saying that it is a neighborhood pub. read more

This a super fun dive bar situation in what appears to be an adorable town in PA. I chose this place as a halfway meeting point with friends based on the Yelp reviews. It's a great place to go for drinks with friends and they also happen to have fairly decent food to keep you from getting too drunk too quickly. The place was packed on a Wednesday night in December. It's was very dimly lit but festive with string lights hung all around. If you are a beer lover, this is your spot. Whatever your feeling like that night, I'm sure they have it, either on tap, in a bottle or in a can! They also have a full bar and fun mixed drink specials. You can seat yourself and the staff just rotates around, helping out wherever needed. The food was good. The spinach dip had good flavor but also an odd texture - almost like spinach baby food mixed with cheese. The Prime Example sandwhich was very tasty. I just wish they put a little more horseradish cheddar on it. I'll keep this place on my list for when I want to meet up with friends for drinks again. read more

Cute place with a lot of ambience and friendly people. Our dinner was delicious but I think the draw was their beer selection.

Excellent food, service and beer selection. We are visiting our son and we love to eat here whenever we are in PA. Our favorite place in the area. Brooke was our waitress and the place was packed but she was an excellent server and so friendly and welcoming. Such a bright spot in this hit or miss economy. Food is always great and beer selection is awesome. Great place for an economical meal and great beer. As good as always. We have been coming here for at least 15 years. Highly recommend. read more

Perfect ambiance, very relaxing atmosphere and food was amazing. Definitely recommend

Cute pub decorated with flying pigs! I've been coming for years and its one of my favorite places. The prime example is really good!

Most awesome dive bar ever. Turn down the music and do what you do. Expand the bar and get some

A friend recommended the Flying Pig Saloon to me, and after holding a happy hour there, it was obvious why she did. The Saloon is a comfortable semi-divey bar, with a fun corner with couches, and dining room seating. True to their name, there are piggies EVERYWHERE, of every kind: posters, ceramic ones, paper ones, flying ones, sitting ones. This place has more character than you can shake a pig at. Our friendly, primary server (Carol) managed to handle our fairly large group (about 15 folks; most of the time). Assorted staff also served us, though one waitress seemed pretty bitchy. Bartender Mike was on the ball, making us cherry kamikazes. (Drinking enthusiasts, be sure to check out their extensive beer selection.) At one point, someone knocked down a lamp. Fred, one of the owners, came over to make sure everything was okay - what a cool guy! Yes, there are some potentially breakable items inside, but the Saloon is generally drunk-friendly[1]. Besides our group, there was a healthy crowd for a Thursday. (Yes, people were smoking, but ventilation was pretty good.) Per Carol's suggestion, I had a tasty double-layered grilled cheese sandwich with ham[2], which came with a pickle! Oh, and before I forget, order the macaroni and cheese with lobster. Trust me. [1] Please drink responsibly. [2] Oink, oink. read more
