Side of building with sign
David B.

Finnagel's is a Clinton area staple. It has been here since, I believe, the late 70's. Now run by descendants of the original owners. For those from Westfield, NJ, there is a Jolley Trolly connection. Went with my lifelong friend that lives in the area. It is a really cute building that only houses the bar and restaurant. It is broken up into a bar area with booths and a couple of Dining Rooms. A great menu of bar food and steaks. I had the Jersey Burger with Sweet Potato Fries. It was outstanding. Service was great! It was a very enjoyable experience.

Cowboy burger with sweet potato fries
Nicole Q.

Great service and pub food! Our first time in, driving through the area and so glad we stopped! If Superbowl Sunday takeout business is any indication, this place is a local favorite! Nice casual atmosphere on Sunday afternoon, Im sure its even more fun on a crowded weekend. Lots of theme specials on the board for weeknights. Looking forward to stopping in again!

Lunch stop on our road trip home avoiding the big cities! This pub is so cute and the staff are super friendly. Enjoyed extra cold brews and some great sandwiches. I asked for extra crispy fries and they came out perfect! Thanks!

Superb onion rings.  Robust onions but cooked through.
J W.

Great local place for some comfort food. The onion rings were outstanding. The onions were robust which is usually a problem for me because they are almost always undercooked but they managed to get them cooked very well without burning the batter, which was excellent. The burger was very well cooked and full of flavor. It was a bit tough to eat due to the tall brioche bun but was still very good. It could have used just a hair more salt and pepper but there is plenty of that on the table so a problem that can be overcome. That is a nit anyway. The fries were coated and nice and crispy. The server was super friendly and the vibe was nice. Great spot.

Corned beef and cabbage
David S.

I was in the mood for corned beef and cabbage since it's Saint Patrick's Day weekend. Even though The Rail is closer to our house, I decided to try Finnagel's since it was also on NJ101.5's list of restaurants that serve the best corned beef and cabbage. https://nj1015.com/st-patricks-day-best-corned-beef-new-jersey/ Both my wife and I had the corned beef and cabbage platter. We were only able to eat half and brought the rest home. The staff were very friendly. When we arrived, we chose to sit in the bar area. They have a free booths slightly raised up, some high top tables, regular tables, and obviously seating at the bar. The bar area was decorated for St. Paddy's Day. They are on Toast, so most of the menu is available for pickup through the app. The check can also be paid by phone, also via Toast. We definitely plan on returning to try out more of the menu.

Cajun Fries
Jamie B.

Finnagel's is a long-time local favorite. I've been coming to Finnagel's ever since I can remember. Great food, great drinks, great service, great prices. As a kid, I loved the Finnagel's Salad, and it's still my go-to order today. If I'm looking for simple bar food, I stick with Cajun fries and/or the wings. I personally prefer the atmosphere of the bar area, and I'm much less of a fan of the dining area. The bar area is intimate and lively but never too loud with classic sports bar vibes.

Side of beef.
Patti R.

Came here today. Was not impressed. We ordered the nachos with beef on the side, friend ordered cream cheese poppers, and we shared a turkey club sandwich. The turkey club was the only thing that was good because how can you ruin that. Oh wait, they brought the mayo on the side. So I had remove the toothpicks to take apart the mini sandwiches and try to add mayo. I made a mess. The Cajun fries were good, but they did not have a hint of Cajun flavor. The cream cheese poppers were over fried and hard to eat. I didn't like them. The nachos were soggy, loaded with velveeta cheese, jalapeño's, mushy salsa from a jar, not fresh, slimy avocado that tastes fake, black tasteless olives and pieces of lettuce and tomatoes. Friend did not like the way the beef looked so he decided not to eat it. I brought it home for the cat as I don't eat ground beef and this one looked like cat food. Cat said NO! He would not eat it. Thankfully, I didn't order anything else. I don't plan to return. Forgot to add that friend ordered the sangria and it was too sour. I think it had too much lemon and not enough peach snapps.

"Spicy" Chicken sandwich
Jackie S.

The French onion was good but I told the server I was allergic to tomatoes and peppers, including spices made from peppers (paprika, chili powder, cayenne,etc) I ordered the chicken sandwich figuring it would be a safe choice. I specifically asked for plain mayo on the side instead of the chipotle mayo because again, allergy. What the menu doesn't say is that it's spicy and the server didn't relay my allergy to the kitchen. I took one bite and I knew immediately i was in trouble. I asked again to please check with the kitchen and she did and came back and said don't eat it, drop it. Long story short I had to leave, but she still charged me for the sandwich that I couldn't eat.

New menu,
Chas Y.

I gave the bartender $100 bill for a $14 tab, she lied and gave me change for a $20, Emily, I literally watched her, put it in her overly tight stinky yoga tights!!!! Never again!!!! Horrible service................

French onion soup - piping hot like it should be (many places don't serve it very hot) and tasty!

A throwback to the old days where Buffalo Wings , Beers and Football rule the day…read more Great wind selection and rated tops in Hunterdon County. The friendly service with a smile and the old bar ambiance make this a perfect place for Sunday football.

Whoo, boy. What an experience we had at Cryan's. I thought it would be okay to gather a group and…read morehead over for happy hour and dinner. Wasn't sure how many people we'd be, but the place looked big enough. It wasn't. Not for the crowds of people stuffing Cryan's on Saturday night, drinking at the bar, eating at the tables. Clinton doesn't have as many people as Cryan's did that night. Incredible. So we put our party down to a 40-minute wait. Time went on, a few people left, a few drinks happened, and finally the rest of us got a table together. Minus for service - the waitstaff was not very friendly to our group; granted, we were forced to stand due to lack of seating, but they didn't give us any helpful tips or any sympathy. Drinks were just "are you ready?" and then handed out. Food experience went a little bit better. The food itself was fine, mostly because none of us ordered pizza. It's bar pies here - super-thin crust, comes out crispy, which may be your thing but it's not mine. The onion rings look fantastic - huge, but with a lot of breading, and I didn't have enough of an appetite to down that by myself. I ended up on the Baslick Burger, ordered rare, and it actually came out pleasantly close to rare. Other people's came out to their order as well (medium and well, one with a subbed side). Nothing spectacular, but nothing bad. Same for the fries. All in all? It was an experience. But not one to walk into blind. Maybe if I was local I'd go on a low-volume night, otherwise I'll stick to some less crowded vibes.

Cryan's Tavern - Store brand frozen pizza crust. At least they took the cardboard off the bottom. I think, anyway. Hard to tell.

I noticed AFTER we ordered that there was a cocktail special that night. Our waitress never mentioned any specials, so I tried to flag her down after I had already ordered a different one not on the list. I mentioned to the hostess what I needed, and I hung out waiting for our waitress at the front. After waiting at least 15 min for her to show up from the back, I was able to ask her to change my drink order. The food here is FABULOUS. We got the housemade Irish soda bread and it was amazing. Hubby got the shepherd's pie and it was delicious. I got the lamb chops over asparagus and mashed potatoes and it was FANTASTIC ! I don't know if our waitress was new or what, but our meals were delivered without silverware. We waited several minutes, then finally flagged down another waitress so that we could eat ! If it wasn't for the poor service, this place could easily be 5 stars due to the fabulous food. Thankfully we got out of there before the live music started, loud music is not our vibe. At the very end of the meal, somehow my original drink order made an appearance (that's what I was afraid of, that she didn't cancel the order). The folks at the table next to us ordered the exact same cocktail, so when the bar tried to give it to us, the waitress told them to give it to the table next to us instead. Geez, we were already paying for our meal at the time. Lol The manager did come out and the end of the meal to ask how things were. I did mention I thought our waitress might be new. I didn't get an answer as to if she was, but I posed it more as a statement than a question.
