Stopped into Finn MacCool’s Pub and it felt like a proper Irish pub—dark wood, cozy corners, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a pint, actually hear the people you’re with, and not feel rushed out. Drinks were poured well, and the beer selection covered the basics plus a few good extras. Food was solid pub-style comfort food, perfect to share while watching a game or listening to music. It can get lively at night, but it still keeps that laid-back pub feel that makes you want to stay for another round.

I love this neighborhood bar! Good drinks, great price! The regulars and the bartenders are awesome, but the owner is the BESTEST! There is lunch if you ask! And it won't disappoint!!!

Geeeeeeez that fish and chips meal I had on Friday was amazing. 10/10 They do food most days until about 1 or 2 but it sells out, it's that good. The bartenders rule and they have the best priced drinks in town. It's definitelyy a classic neighborhood pub with a rustic vibe despite a chill patio and new pool tables. Straight up though, the fish and chips will change you as a human.

I came for the bloody Mary, which were supposed to be good but what knocked me out is when I’ve walked around. I’ve paid off a Benji. I thought I had paid off and I was just leaving the change, but the bartender quickly came over with all my change, that was outstanding but again ambience is good. Bloody Mary excellence. Decent parking a first choice in the city full of first choices.

Six Traveling Foodies ladies celebrating St. Patrick's Day enjoyed a delicious lunch of Ruben and chicken salad sandwiches with a side of Irish potato salad. Delicious! The area was decorated and the old building's atmosphere was admired. Our server, Kennedy, was delightful and informative when asked about the history of this 100+ building. A return visit for sure. Thank you, Ginger.

Food not available when I went. Environment was fun after some in the neighborhood eased up letting a new person come into their atmosphere.
Good music and great service! Neat little cove of a bar with different elements. So almost 5 stars- would like to try the food!
