let me say this: as a local, sometimes i get tired of sunsets, beaches, mahi-mahi, and pina coladas. and that's when i come here! finnegan's offers great food (huge menu) and huge portions, a lively bar (also a quieter dining room if you want to get away), and the best guinness in KW. more

If you're looking to get away from the mid-western family of 8 that just disembarked their crusise ship and who are now all sitting next to you at sloppy joes with beads around their necks and all wanting to drink "moe-heetoes", then this place is for you. This is the irish pub for the locals. You wouldn't even know it... more

Visited Finnegan's during the week of May 16th-24th, 2009. My husband and I ate there twice. My folks ate there 3 times. It's that good. We went during HH and got the garlic wings. Excellent.

My wife and I stopped in Finnigan's Wake on our very first visit to KW. It is now a staple for all subsequent visits. Well air conditioned on hot days. Great small Irish pub atmosphere. TV's tuned to international sports (especially soccer). Tasty pub food. A broad selection of domestic and international beers and spirits. Away from Duval street crowds... more

The meat was full of gristle. 2) the potato skins were greasy (twice fried?) and burnt. 3) the chicken wings were OK. But, the beer was cold. Go for the games and beer but be careful with the... more
