Editorial Review for Finn McCool's Irish Pub – by Melissa Stampley

In Short
Named after a mythological Celtic warrior, this pub gets an extra shot of authenticity from the enormous wood bar that was shipped over from Ireland. Stocked with a respectable selection of Scottish malts and Irish whiskeys, the impressive structure stands amid Guinness ads and intricate, Celtic-themed murals. Tall, wooden partitions allow privacy while sitting at the bar. Service can be dodgy during peak dinner hours, when ordering a pint requires the patience of a saint.

On the Menu

Bar bites, including potato skins and calamari, are less greasy than usual pub grub, and what's lacking in quantity is made up for in presentation.

Finn McCool’s has been my local for well over a year now and as a direct import from Ireland myself, this alone is testament to the authenticity and quality of the Irish bar. The fact that 98% of the staff are directly from Ireland gives this pub a genuine Irish feel that you will be hard pressed to find in many other places this side of the Atlantic. Always friendly and up for a bit of ‘craic’, their charm and efficiency makes your drinking/dining experience that wee bit more special. The vast menu offers everything from the original and unique Celtic Quesadilla and Irish Boxty (large, stuffed potato pancakes) to the ever popular (and for very good reason), Fish and Chips and Corned Beef and Cabbage. Not only does the Guinness flow like water, but Finns also offers on tap Harp, Smithwicks and Magners Apple Cider- all exclusively Irish, as well as many more imported and domestic beers. With live music Tuesday through Thursday, a DJ on Saturdays and a live Traditional Irish folk session every Sunday afternoon (can you tell I’ve spent some time here?), no matter what day of the week, there’s entertainment for everyone. Whether you’re alone or part of a group, you are guaranteed to have a brilliant time here. They say everybody’s Irish on St.Patrick’s day. Well whether that’s true or not, you are guaranteed the 100% Irish pub experience 364 days of the year at Finn McCool’s!!
