Luis is a great bartender! Very attentive always ready with our drinks 5 star review! Finneys in Brea great spot!

Finney's is just an awesome restaurant. Its got something for everyone -- the family, the boys, and even the lady. Just had another great experience here last week, and will be back again soo. read more

We came in for lunch hoping to watch our sport at this sports bar and restaurant. Place itself is very open and spacious, loved those cozy bar seats. Glad it was showing tennis masters 1000 Toronto on one of the TVs at the moment. The menu was mostly comfort food with decent gluten friendly items and substitutions. We decided on mini lobster rolls, wings, wagyu burger with tater tots, tuna fish sandwich with chips and truffle fries. The food was so delicious and comforting. It was the perfect bar food. I tried a few hazy brews which were very tasty. Hubby liked his grey goose dry martini. The service was friendly as well. A great restaurant and bar for comfort food and sports watching! read more

Want to start off by giving the biggest shoutout to our server Alyssa!!!!! All of the staff were so sweet and accommodating but Alyssa was that girl. I went last night for my best friend's birthday dinner. We originally had 30 people planned to come but only 20 showed up. But Alyssa assured us that was no issue. Even calling the store ahead to plan the dinner was very easy as they were kind and helpful in explaining how the night would go. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. I personally loved their avocado egg rolls and their passion fruit sour. My friend had the best birthday and we are so happy about our experience at Finney's. Thank you again to Alyssa for all of your hard work and for being so cool and thoughtful. We had asked for waters to go but completely forgot them and Alyssa went outside to catch up with us and give us the waters. Such a lovely time! Great food and a good spot for bigger parties. read more

It's a typical American food place, nothing extraordinary. Food is as expected. My cobb salad was pretty enjoyable, fresh, and a great portion size. Also enjoyed my espresso martini. The burger my husband had was dry and lacking in flavor so we probably wouldn't get it again. Overall an easy spot to grab a decent lunch and quick service. Just not my first go-to eatery in Brea. read more

I decided to walk in after the gym as it smelled really good. Because I had just finished working out I didn't wanna eat something that would make me feel guilty. I had not noticed that they had some healthy items on their menu so I decided to walk in. This time I was by myself and did not have my wallet with me so I asked if I could use Apple Pay to pay which you can. I decided to sit at the bar by myself. The bar area had a good ambience with a game from the Dodgers playing. The bartender was really friendly and made me feel welcomed. Once I ordered my beer came out pretty quick and my burger followed not too long after. I ordered the bison burger, and it was really good. I saw a few other items that would be guiltless or not as unhealthy that I will most likely try on a different location after the gym when I'm hungry and don't feel like cooking afterwards. read more

My new favorite is the chicken southwest chicken bowl!! It was delicious!! All the flavors were perfect!! I got the margarita flight and the strawberry flavor was my favorite! The watermelon just tasted dilated and the other 2 were OK. The prime rib cheesesteak sandwich was great and my husband would definitely get it again! We would definitely return. Service was great! read more

We haven't eaten at Finney's for several months and this place never disappoints. The three of us wanted a nice, relaxing lunch so asked if we could be seated in a booth and away from the group with the young child. The hostess happily accommodated us (and we did hear that child scream and cry several times during the time we were there). We were seated in a booth, but unfortunately, we were across from a group of two women and one man who kept saying every version of "f***" there was. We really didn't need to hear any of that especially with our daughter with us. People really need to have more class. Ryenne was our server who told us it was only his third day training at Finney's. We all thought he did a great job! He was extremely friendly, talkative seemed excited and happy to be working here. Our food was really good! We were all in the mood for some type of burger. My husband had the Wagyu Burger, which he said was excellent! My daughter had to Finney's Craft Burger, which she enjoyed. And I ordered the new Turkey Burger with it lettuce wrapped. It was really good! I ordered one order of large french fries, which we all shared and was plenty for the three of us to share. We started with the Crispy Brussels which were so crunchy and delicious! My daughter also really enjoyed her Sprite Dirty Soda. We'll definitely be back in the near future ard hopefully not be seated close to any classless patrons. read more

Came in for "just one drink" and somehow ended up emotionally attached to the Watermelon Smash Super refreshing, dangerously easy to drink, and gave summer backyard party energy in the best way. The Mexican candy shot also did what it needed to do... tiny but mighty lol. The atmosphere was lively without feeling overwhelming, and the bartenders were cool and quick even when it got busy. Definitely one of those spots where you accidentally stay longer than planned because everybody's vibing. 10/10 would come back for another "I'll only stay for an hour" lie. read more

We love Finney's! Great place to watch a game. Lots of locals. Lots of local beers on tap. Luis at the bar is amazing! Great guy. Very personable. Very attentive. Highly recommend! read more

Burgers were good, but service was disappointing! Came on a Saturday night and it was busy, but not all the tables were full. Waited about 10-15 mins before someone took our order. It looked like they had a lot of workers, but maybe not enough servers? We ordered the following: - Hickory bbq burger $14 Great burger but they forgot the bbq sauce. I didn't notice until a few bites in. It took a while to get some service and my burger was cold by the time the sauce came. - A5 Wagyu burger $17 Really good, but the burger was fairly small! I don't think it was that worth it for the price. - Large truffle fries $9 Good size and just ordered a large to share between two people. Loved the type of fries, but way too salty. Overall, food was 4/5, but service was lacking. Finished our waters but no one came by to check in or refill either. read more

Came here with a party of 9 and unfortunately this was the most disorganized Finney's location I've visited. We called ahead and were told a 10-minute wait, but when we arrived it became 20 minutes. We were then seated in a booth that was way too tight and uncomfortable for our group. Drinks came out separately and spread apart, menus were sticky, and the restaurant was much louder than other locations. Food was hit or miss--the grilled cheese was inconsistent, and the mini lobster rolls were disappointing. On the positive side, the avocado rolls, poke nachos, and poke bowl were all good. I did appreciate that they allowed us to split the check for a large group. Overall, I like Finney's, but the Brea location probably isn't one I'd return to. My favorite is still the Orange location. read more

Came to watch the 49er game with some buddies and everything was great! We sat at the bar top and had phenomenal service from Luis, he would check in on us to ensure we had a pleasant experience. I would definitely be returning. Although my home Finneys is at the circle i would definitely make the drive for the service. read more

Great spot for catching sports games with plenty of screens throughout. The cocktails are made with fresh juices, and they're always better that way. My favorite was the Passionfruit Sour. We had the carnitas nachos, which lacked a bit of spice, and the pork was dry. The pretzel was soft, and out of the three dipping sauces, the honey was surprisingly our favorite. The cheese sauce was a little odd. For the wings, we would have loved to get two flavors, but they only toss the wings in one flavor. If you choose a second flavor, half of the wings are served plain with the sauce on the side. read more

Had a below average experience on Fathers Day. The waitress was super stoned and forgot to take my wife's order. She walked away after taking 4 of our tables orders. The burger was decent a little dry with a small patty. Poke nachos not good at all, very dry with not much fish on them. The worse part was the wings! We had the Cajun dry rub and mango habanero. There was no difference between the 2 flavors, both were dry with no seasonings and the wings had barely any meat. I wish I asked for my money back on these 2 orders. read more

Had such a great first experience here. The customer service is top notch. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server never missed a refill. The food was amazing. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. They have some of the friendliest staff ever. The establishment itself was nice and open with plenty of seating. There were big screens everywhere so you could see the soccer matches wherever you sat. The bathrooms are also nice and tidy. Can't wait to come back. read more

Been here at least half a dozen times since and their food has always been good. In the recent past, I got the Moroccan salad with chicken and thought it was really good! And The buffalo cauliflower appetizer was excellent! I've ordered that a few times now. Today I ordered the Mediterranean protein bowl with chicken and the chicken was a little tough, dry and salty unfortunately. The dishes were decent overall. One complaint I have however, is in their restroom. They don't offer paper towels to wipe your hands with after washing them. I don't feel like a blower is as sanitary, takes too long, and you have to grab the door handle to open the door to exit! Pleeease can you invest in some paper towels for the bathrooms...? read more

Can't say anything bad about this place... Luis the bartender and kelsey the manager are amazing... with the rest of the staff just as great... food amazing, so I know the cooks are doing there part.... what I want to know, who's idea is it to close at 9pm during the week when you have other restaurants open till 11 and midnight... you lose so much business closing at 9... you have cha chas , macallans, brunos and yardhouse staying open... if this place does not make it, it's because of corporate read more

Came here for a casual business meeting and this was the perfect place. I had the prosciutto and arugula flatbread pizza. The crust was thin and crispy and there is a spicy honey drizzle as well. The honey is not super spicy just a little heat. And it went well with this item. Service was good as well. Everyone was so nice!!! Definitely will come back when I'm back in town. read more

Finney's Crafthouse - Guava Margarita's from Ari - New American Near Me - Brea, California

So food was ok. Ill state my Issues. First a server dropped a container of katchup on the ground and it sprayed all over my legs, shorts, shirt, neck, arms, head and hat. The server did not acknowledge it and just scurried away. The manager josh came out and thought i had made the mess and when i informed him it was a server and that he did not say anything just ran offf, he didnt believe me until other guest spoke up. Then he took off the cheapest appetizer we had and expected me to be ok with that. My shirt which was orver $75 was ruined. It was very light grey and now covered in ketchup. Our night that was going to include more activities was now ruined. Then when we went to pay. We asked for a paper check. Do to past experiences with credit card info being compromised using the little table top readers i do not use them anymore. The server laughed at me and mocked me as he walked away. The manager again did nothing. Extremely unprofessional. When i asked for a free shirt that they sold their, the manager josh made comments about not having shirts that would fit me because most people are smaller. I was asking for a 2xl but come on. Super disappointed with the staff there. Bar tender was awesome though. read more

Came here for happy hour. Here's what we got: Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice - Liked it. The rice is crispy. The tuna is well seasoned and not overly spicy. The eel sauce is a delicious addition to the whole dish. Steak Taquitos - Crunchy just how I like them. Topped with yummy salsa, cheese, green onions and dipping sauces. Finney Burger Combo - The patty is good but the rest is pretty average. The included fries are kinda meh, not as crispy as we had hoped even though we did request them to be extra crispy. Overall the food is good and atmosphere is cool. Big screen TVs all around so you can catch a good game or 2. read more

Finney's Crafthouse in Brea recently opened on the corner of Brea Blvd and Birch Street where Ruby's Diner and Farrell's used to be. There are two large parking garages less than a block away. We have been meaning to try Finney's by the Orange Circle, but ended up trying this location first. The restaurant has dark ceilings and an open, roomy feel. There are booths, tables, and seating around the bar. They have a very good selection of craft beers on tap, and a good number of cocktails and wines. There are a lot of TVs around the restaurant and good background music playing. We started out with the Buffalo Cauliflower bites appetizer (with Yuzu sauce, blue cheese, garlic aioli, $14). It came with a good number of tasty cauliflower clusters with buffalo drizzle on top as well as a side of buffalo sauce. The garlic aioli had a very garlicky aroma and taste, but we enjoy that. All of the pieces were nice bite-sized, and not greasy. I ordered the Blood Orange Marg (Campo Azul reposado tequila, blood orange, jalapeno, tajin, $13). It tasted like a regular house margarita with a tiny hint of blood orange, and no jalapeno flavor. I definitely wanted to taste the blood orange more. She had the Watermelon smash cocktail (Platinum 7x vodka, cucumber, watermelon, mint, sugar, $13). It was very light and refreshing, and had a great sugar rim. I tasted a lot of cucumber and mint, but the watermelon flavor was more in the background, unfortunately. For my entrée, I had the smoked tri-tip sandwich (Fontina, arugula, cherry peppers, horseradish garlic aioli, $16) with a side of chips. This was a very good and very filling sandwich. It had a lot of meat inside, the bread had a nice crisp on it, and the argula, peppers, and aioli complemented the meat well. The chips were good and not oily at all, but needed some salt. She had the Impossible taco salad (Romaine, pico, corn, chilis, tortillas, cheese, cilantro lime dressing, $17). It had a nice variety of ingredients, and the cilantro lime dressing was great. She said she really enjoyed it. It is a pretty big salad, and there was plenty left to take home. We shared one last cocktail, Meghan's Grapefruit Martini (Wheatley vodka, grapefruit, elderflower, lime, sugar, $14). The grapefruit flavor definitely lived up to the name on this drink. It was good, with a little bitterness. Emily, our server, was great, and service was well paced. We would return again. read more

Today was our third time here and I have to say that the food is just mediocre/bad. Pastrami Rueben- ok. A little on the dry side. Served with chips instead of fries or a salad. Steak taquitos - I think the taste would have been great if they didn't put the green aioli sauce on the taquitos. The sauce was pretty bad (sorry, but tasted like throw up) :/ Prime rib Cheesesteak Sandwich - good taste, just tiny. Served with chips, not fries or a salad :/ Salads come with crouton "dust" instead of croutons :/ All sandwiches are served with chips instead of fries or a salad :/ - unless you add it on for an additional cost. Maybe I'll just buy Lunchables from Target next time I'm hungry. And croutons. They really cut corners here. Have gave it three tries. I won't return. read more

My experience was underwhelming. The inside decor was fun and the restaurant is big, Plenty of seating throughout, combination of tables, booths and at the bar. Definitely a place you can come watch sports or hang out with big groups. My husband and I came in on a weekday, a little before 8 for dinner. There were probably 5-7 parties throughout the restaurant and 2 people at the bar. No host at the front. Servers working at bar and a server walking around. No acknowledgment from staff or even a glance our direction. We decided to wait a few more minutes, if no one helps us we will leave. A few minutes later, a server quickly walks from the back. He grabs menus and takes us to a table. I liked that the booth was huge for just the 2 of us. I didn't like that the restaurant was pretty empty and we were seated by the bathroom and in front of the kitchen. Our server was Bryce and he was nice. We ordered: Steak fajitas - read a lot of reviews about this and it was just okay. I'm not sure what I was expecting. It's definitely a serving for 1. The steak was tough, but the veggies had flavor and cooked perfectly. The tortilla was also good. I ended up eating the veggies with the tortilla without the steak. It comes with small ramekins of sour cream, guacamole & the black bean salsa - which was more like a purée. Deviled eggs - so, I love deviled eggs. If it's on the menu at any restaurant, I always order them. These were very runny. The flavor was good, but the texture of the yolk was like baby food. I wouldn't order again. Grilled cheese & soup - this was good. Very cheesy. I thought the glasses for the drinks were cute. I drank about 1/2 my coke and noticed the glass was dirty with specs of food, both inside the glass and outside. My cloth napkin also had stains. We are local, so if our friends wanted to come back, we might try it again, but this would not be my first choice. read more

As far as pizzas go, it wasn't one of my favorites. When a menu advertises sausage & garlic, my favorite two item combination that isn't clams, I'm expecting a decent sausage and some roasted (preferably) or minced garlic. This pizza had garlic Parmesan, which has no texture or buttery heft at all. I can forgive the crust being thin and sauce non-existent, but I don't think of that as a garlic pie at all. The service was good, although there were brief gaps at the beginning where my drink order took awhile to be given and another when I was waiting for a refill so long another server/manager had to get it. And then a minute later my original refill came. What saves this place from being average is the ambience and energy of this place is stellar. The layout, all the tv's, the clientele, and just the vibe of the place is great. I would come out here to watch a good game or plan an informal hang here any day--meal or no meal. It has to be the the number one selling point for sure. Overall, nothing is bad enough that makes me think you'd have a bad meal or drink here. It just wouldn't be my first choice. But, oh Lordy, does that place know how to make you feel excited to be part of the crowd once you walk. I wish all places could feel that special. read more

Brianna was our server she was friendly, it was sort of busy for afternoon late lunch. They have inside and outside seating, was such a beautiful day so we sat outside. They have actually a decent selection of food to choose from for both adults and kids menu. Ordered the kids pasta with yogurt but didn't think it would be Yoplait with m&m's, and it came with a krabby patty candy lol, baby girl enjoyed her pasta. We ordered a burger with fries and I got the mini lobster rolls. He didn't enjoy the burger so much but I enjoyed my lobster roll but it wasn't the best I ever had. Also got a raspberry lemonade which was yummy, a beer and a dr pepper. The food was decent, the customer service was not bad little slow but not bad. I'm not sure if we would come here again but happy we tried it. Maybe the other items on the menu would have been a better choice. Would we come here again? Maybe but not our first choice around here. I'm sure other items are good so maybe if we do come here again I would try something else. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha read more

Ryan, the manager of this location, reached out to me regarding my first experience at their restaurant. I'm glad he did. He encouraged me to come back Everyone deserves a second chance, right? I decided to bring my neighbor with me this time and enjoy a regular dinner versus appetizers. Ryan was a delight as was our waitress Skye. The atmosphere is very comfortable. It's a sports bar, so you can catch your favorite game while enjoying dinner should it be on. I ordered the southwest salad with a side order of sweet potato fries. My neighbor ordered the wedge salad along with a flatbread pizza. While we waited for our dinner to arrive, I thought I would try another appetizer, so ordered their avocado eggrolls. My neighbor really enjoyed the avocado eggrolls. Were they my favorite? They were OK. I'm glad my neighbor enjoyed them! The southwest salad looked delicious. I didn't care so much for the Sriracha sauce that came with it so requested ranch instead. The salad comes with a sauce already included which I forgot about. The Sriracha sauce was so hot, so I requested ranch dressing on the side. I wish I would've remembered the salad included a sauce before putting the ranch dressing on. It was still good, but I wished I would've tried it without the ranch! If you love spicy food, I'm sure the Sriracha sauce would be delicious on this southwest salad. Can we talk about the sweet potato fries with sea salt? They were the best sweet potato fries I think I've ever had! I would totally get them again. Love them! My neighbor ordered his flatbread with pepperoni. However, when it came it had sausage. He decided to eat it anyway and totally enjoyed it along with his wedge salad. All in all it was a good experience! read more

Luis bartender- best cocktails EVER !!! Great environment and best place yo watch sports great food.

Ari - is an amazing server, with a new great personality and on top of special orders... thank you for making our experience awesome .

Well... we walked in with high hopes and left blown away. No, literally we were being blown away by a huge fan they turned on right above our table. Our to-go boxes caught air and flew over to the booth next to us. My hair was flying into the plates that were never picked up. We took this as a sign that they wanted us to leave.... Yes, we were there past closing time, but not the only table left in the restaurant. Our night at Finney's started off great. We were greeted by a comfortable environment and many big TV screens showing all of the sporting games. We ordered 3 appetizers while waiting for the remaining 2 out of 6 for our party. We all got drinks as well. The onion rings were very good and came with a lot on the plate. We also ordered the poke nachos and a Bavarian pretzel that were pretty good. So far, we were enjoying our experience. I ordered the double smash burger lettuce/wrapped. It was so-so. It was very greasy and left a puddle of grease on my plate after a few bites. I liked the sweet potato fries I ordered on the side even though they showed up cold. Nothing special about the entrees across the table. In the midst of us eating and watching the football game. We were never asked if we wanted any refills or visited once we received our food. We got our food 5 minutes past closing time. We were celebrating a birthday of a family member from out-of-state. We feel like we dropped the ball bringing them here on their birthday! read more

Food here was better for bar food. It wasn't great but it was better for bar food. We came here for the Dodgers World Series because one of the other places I like does not open on Monday and they recommended this place, The place was not as packed as they would have hoped for a World Series so they sent our server home. And later on sent our other server home hence making us close out twice which didn't help their situation. On top of that they did not tell us that last call was at 9. So it took a while so we went to the bar to get some more drinks and that's when they told us...no more food or liquor. This place was average...for a World Series game it should've been packed and full of life. read more
