The management tightened up on health and safety. The food has never been better. The servers, bartenders, and kitchen staff have excellent attitudes. Definitely worth a visit!

We visited the Pub for a late lunch one day because we had read that they had vegetarian food. Which they did. My husband's sandwich was okay, but my vegan burger just really didn't taste good. Yes, I know, carnivores, how could it? But yes, there are delicious ones out there. The interior is tradition Irish pub, dark and cozy,... More

I had the meatloaf, and it was absolutely delicious. They have Green Flash beers on tap, and it was nice to have the chance to have Palate Wrecker Double IPA. Absolutely yummy. Great atmosphere, and off the beaten path so it was full of locals instead of tourists.

Finnegan's Wake was recommended by a few local cab drivers as a place that the locals go when they wanted a good burger. We stopped here for a late dinner after getting back from our blue planet kayaking excursion, and the burgers did not let us down. The food and service were exactly what you would expect from a local... More

I have been there once during the lobster party. It was crowded and full of funny people. Here you can find tasty beers and good food at the right price.

The owner of Eden House suggested Finnegan's so we tried it. We were pleasantly surprised! We walked in and it was dark, but it's a traditional looking Irish bar, so it wasn't a deterrent. We walked through to the dining area and were happy to find that despite the dark furnishings, the light coming through the windows brightened the room... More

The pizza was incredible - well seasoned, generous toppings. And our server was super friendly - and an Irish girl at that! She knew enough of the famous Irish portraits on the wall to inform and entertain. Nice beer selection too.

This was the closest bar to the BnB we were staying at so we visited a few times during our trip. The first time, we were served by Andrew who was quick with a beer sample and a smile. We got to try a Pyramid Weiss Cream that we had never heard of before and did some Jameson shots. All... More

For a great many reasons Finnegan's Wake is one of our favorite bars anywhere. First, they have Murphy's Stout on tap, which few places have. Second they have a good happy hour each afternoon, and then repeat it later in the night. Third they have great food. The Irish bacon sandwich and the Joyce burger are as good as it... More

Ham & cheese on pretzel bread was to die for!! I would suggest that to anyone, corn beef & cabbage was also very good. Portion size just right.
