Finn McCool's: User Reviews

awful

Overall rating:

I don't know why anyone would waste their time or money at this hole.

Food is nothing to write home about. Drinks - outside of whatever is on special - are overpriced. I paid $15 for a scotch and water. Seriously... you don't even pay that much at Gibson's or a legitimately nice bar. These people need to check themselves.

Service is slow, and the sketchy-looking staff seems more interested in hiding out than mingling or waiting on customers.

Free Wings - Woot Woot!

I live a few blocks from good ol' Finn's. My friends and I like to hit up the place on Tuesdays for their BINGO night...tons of fun, plus all appetizers are half-price. That's a good deal ,if you ask me, and let me tell you, for pub food on Division St., Finn's has some pretty tasty treats. And you can't miss out on the free wings on Fridays...we tend to start our weekends there quite a bit ;) Finn's, we will be back!

If you like a bar...

If you like a bar filled with 90% guys on a Friday or Saturday night, then this is a great bet. Plus, they charge you a cover to get in. How nice of them.

I go to Finn's early. Usually 1 or 2pm and leave around 4 or 5pm. The food is great. Friendly staff. The people who go at that time are all friendly and willing to strike up a good conversation. Mostly self employed folks like myself.

Overall rating:

Was bar hopping and this place ended up being the best bet in the area. Nice ambiance. Can range in attire from casual to dressy casual. Very comfortable yet trendy. We were even able to find an open meter! Highly recommended for anything from a drink with friends to all night fun mixed with meeting new people.

The place is a pit....

Overall rating:

The place is a pit. People there are creepy often and leery. Strange men touch your hair. There is one nice bouncer but many mean bouncers. Lots of old guys and girls who should not be up on the tiny stage. I can't believe one star is the lowest rating. If you like scraping the bottom of the barrel. Go to this place. They have the nerve to even charge cover. Classiness is not it's thing!
