- A little about me:
- Currently a medical student, will be attending residency in a few months and interested in getting involved with the Navy as a medical resident physician. My family own's Flanagans and Full Moon restaurant and have supported the Navy for the past 30 years in the Great Lakes Area.

I have many memories with the Navy, one of my more recent was a graduating sailor propose to his girlfriend at our restaurant. We were given the task to surprise her with a diamond ring in her desert, the whole event went flawless and the employees and other customers were touched!

Meet and Greet, Every Thursday or day before Graduation
I would like to invite everyone in the Great Lakes area for graduation to a Meet & Greet that is held at Flanagan's Bar and Grill every Thursday, or the day before Graduation. We have had the pleasure to meet many sailors since the history of our two restaurants existence (Flanagans and Full Moon) and would like to meet many more.
Our Meet and Greet's are held from 5-9pm and continues after 9pm with Karaoke. We have set up our main dining room specifically for families of graduating sailors to socialize with other families and get to talk about their experiences and sailors.
Included in the meet and greet:
- Free Appetizer Buffet
- Free Music with Karaoke
- Free $10 gift certificate to Flanagan's for the Sailor's graduation meal (including steaks and seafood, price deducted from family check and not individual meal)
We are located across from Red Carpet Inn, Great Lakes Motel, and 2 minute walk from Day's Inn and Sleep Inn hotels. We are also a quick 4-5 minute drive from Fountain Square hotels in Waukegan. We invite everyone to come check out our meet and greets and stop by our Navy and Chicago Gift Shop afterwards for souveniers.
For more information, you can call Flanagan's at 847.689.9062 and ask about the meet and greet or check out our website at www.flanagansbar.com, a link is on the bottom left menu for more information!
