O'Flynn's Irish Pub: Hanmer Springs' Home of Late Nights and Best Pizza

O'Flynn's Irish Pub calls itself Hanmer's home of late nights — and, just as proudly, home to Hanmer's best pizza. Sitting opposite the Hot Pools on Amuri Avenue, it's the kind of pub built for lingering, with pool and darts, a cosy fire, and a calendar packed with reasons to stay past dinner.

Pizza first, and plenty of it

Gourmet and traditional pizzas are available daily from 5pm for dine-in, takeaway, or free delivery, with Eftpos accepted on delivery orders. The gourmet range leans into bold combinations — the Marakesh pairs Moroccan lamb with feta and tzatziki, the Akaroa Salmon brings smoked salmon and dill together on a cream cheese base, and the Aprichick pairs smoked chicken with apricot, cream cheese and cashew nuts. For those who prefer the classics, the traditional range covers Funghi, Hawaiian, Italiano and Margarita.

A full pub menu beyond pizza

O'Flynn's kitchen doesn't stop at pizza. Sides and salads range from halloumi fries and deep-fried frickles to a shared O'Flynns Platter, while the mains menu leans into hearty pub classics with an Irish accent: a Steak, Mushroom & Stout Pie made with beef marinated in Murphy's Stout, a 250g Ribeye Fillet, a slow-cooked Lamb Shank, and a Salmon Steak topped with prawns and scallops. There's also a build-your-own sausage menu, letting guests pick their sausage, mash and sauce, plus a Tower Burger and an Open Chicken Sandwich for something more casual.

Sweet endings and a Sunday tradition

Desserts include a Classic Baileys Baked Cheesecake, a Chocolate Brownie, and a gluten-free Orange & Almond Cake, while younger diners get their own menu of fish bites, chicken wedges, and sausage and gravy. On Sundays, the pub runs a Roast of the Day from 5pm — chef's choice of meat with all the trimmings, though the pub warns guests to be early or miss out.

Drinks to match

Alongside Kilkenny on tap, O'Flynn's runs an extensive wine list spanning Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Rosé, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Shiraz and sparkling options from producers including Stoneleigh, Main Divide, Oyster Bay and Lindauer.

A calendar full of reasons to visit

O'Flynn's keeps a packed weekly schedule. Tuesdays bring a quiz night, Thursdays are Tiger Thursdays with drink specials, Fridays offer 2-for-1 traditional pizzas from 5pm, and Saturdays feature live music from 9pm. Throw in regular events like whiskey showdowns, and it's easy to see why the pub describes itself as the place "where the fun never stops."
