    Boxty of the Day  with French Onion soup
    Katie D.

    My husband and I had a nice outing here a couple of weeks ago. We both had the specials: my husband had the mushroom and Swiss cheese burger with onion rings and I had the Boxty of the Day which was mushroom and sausage, with a side of French Onion soup. The burger and onion rings were good. The Boxty was amazing! Unfortunately the French Onion soup was way too salty and I couldn't get past the first few bites. The waitress was kind enough to remove the extra cost of upgrading to the soup (from thier basic side options). The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. We'll go back and try a different meal.

    Quietish Sunday lunchtime.

    Finbar's is easily the best local pub in Bedford. Situated on the outside of Sunnyside Mall (itself a lot livelier than in years past), it's small and cosy, with a variety of seating inside and, in summer, a much expanded patio outside. Staff are young and enthusiastic, service is usually first rate and the menu offers something for everyone. Weekend brunch is also to be recommended. If it has a fault, it's the beer. On our latest visit it was a pleasure to see a renewed focus on local micro breweries, but the beer menu was woefully out of date. If they are going to ring the changes more frequently, then perhaps a chalk board, or handwritten menu would be more appropriate? Prices are average for the area. It can get pretty full around 1300 at the height of the season, and if you're looking for the ideal spot for New Year's in Bedford, this is the place.

    Great place earlier in the evening. No live music as of yet. But they have lively booths so you feel much more chill without a mask on.

Their location in Bedford opened last summer ('23) and has been my go-to lunchtime venue ever since. Their entire, stellar line up is available either on tap or in can and of course you can get any of the tap brews in a growler. Lots of parking, a drive through, a pleasant space, including an outdoor patio in season and they even brew small batches on site. Not much in the way of food at the moment, other that snacks, but I mainly come for the beer. And the cider. They do a very English style cloudy cider which is dry as a bone and quite delicious. Bar staff are fun, have good taste in music and there is usually something going on in the evening. A perfect local pub, with an eclectic clientele and for brews, something for everyone.

There's a full selection of wines, spirits and liqueurs, but the hook is the large (36) selection of local beers and ciders, advertised on the large board behind the bar. Apparently they rotate the selection on a regular basis, so there will definitely be something for everyone. No food, aside from the standard bar snacks, though they are entirely happy for you to bring stuff in and there are several decent establishments in the plazas either side of Brookline. It's a real community pub too, with a busy programme of music, comedy, quiz nights etc. Definitely need to check it out on a busy evening to get an idea of the vibe and maybe add the fifth star.
