First opened in 1937, this Ocean Bay Park family favorite enjoys a prime spot overlooking the bay and is a great choice for an early dinner. Flynn’s menu features extensive raw bar offerings, along with crowd-pleasers like salads, burgers and sandwiches, fish tacos, lobster rolls, and pasta.

On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, it’s best to plan to get there early — Flynn’s offers a dinner cruise aboard a double decker party boat that brings revelers from the mainland to an all-you-can-eat barbecue that arrives around 8 p.m.
