In Short
A radical renovation has turned this one-time dive bar into an attractive and inviting modern Irish player in this burgeoning midtown district where little of the old space remains, save the friendly low pressure vibe and maybe the mozzarella sticks. A revamped beer list gains Stella, Victory Hop Devil and some up-market favorites holding court next to standards such as Coors and Miller. Pub grub runs the gamut from basic burgers and wings to a German Wurst Platter and Portuguese Mussels and Clams. Celtic fare comes in Sheppard's Pie, Bangers and Mash, Fish and Chips.

This is for the Night partying crowd only they have Live DJ's and Dancing, a VIP Room and Private parties get ready for the New Year. During Happy Hour from 5:00pm to 7:00pm beers are (Bass & Stella) and Wines are $3.00 and Mixed drinks are $4.00. The Kitchen is open late every night this is definitely for the College crowd. -Al

I stumbled across Finn McCool's, as I work in the area. Great experience! Surprisingly great food and an excellent selection of beers on tap. (including my personal favorite, Magic Hat #9). May I suggest the salmon risotto? Friendly staff, clean, and a great place to watch games. Also offers specials most days, karaoke on Tuesdays, and Rock Band on the big screen on Wednesdays, which are nice twists. Needless to say I go there a lot...for a good reason!

We were pub crawling after the flower show in March 2008. We try to find new bars to experience. We have been to at least 20 already in the area.. We stopped a Finn's and glad we did.. We really liked the variety of beers and the food was excellent.. We talked with the bartender "H"; we got advice from her as to where to go next, someplace we had not been.. We went to "Dirty Franks" where her boyfriend works.. Both places are locations that we will return to... Thank you "H" for your time, information and conversation.. Say hi to "H" who we met at "D Fs" and to "B" who treated us great. We really enjoyed both places. The old timer pub crawlers.... Ray and Sandy
