This is the spot to take a big ol' group of friends on a summer afternoon. Emphasis on the words "group," summer," and "afternoon"--these are key here. Why, you might ask? Some useful info for a successful trip to Finn's: + Key word: group. This place is definitely one of the biggest, most group-friendly spots on this side of town. There are plenty of outdoor tables for sprawling out for hours with your pals, plus they have beer, wine, and cocktails to suit everyone's tastes. There are also a handful of food trucks in the back as well--BBQ, fried chicken sandwiches, and tacos--perfect booze pairing food, am I right? + Key word: summer. The amount of space at Finn's is drastically reduced when the patio is shut down. While they do have a little fire pit outside, and we are Coloradans, sometimes it's just too dang cold to sit (and sip) outdoors. There are only about four or five tables inside, so if you're looking to sit down and stay awhile, plan to do during the summer months (or one of this not-so-rare summer-like days we so often get between snow storms). + Key word: afternoon. Maybe it's the old lady in me, but I rarely feel like elbowing my way through a crowd for a cocktail. I've also been here around 6:30 on a Saturday evening and most of the food trucks were out of food. Go early to avoid the crowds and avoid missing out on all the eats. read more

Cool little spot combining an indoor bar with an outdoor terrace that includes lots of seating and food trucks. Important to have such a place in a hipster neighborhood. Beer selection was impressive and the place has a chill vibe overall with something for everyone. I'd come back next time I'm in Denver. read more

I have visited Finns manor a few times. I would love to give it 5 stars but unfortunately there's a few things that keep me from doing so. Pros: love the food truck set up. Its a unique and fun take on having selections all in one place. The outside patio area fun atmosphere. Cons: the bar is small and the wait is pretty long. A lack of seating for large crowds. People are bumping into you on regular basis if you are sitting under the covered area. It's pretty loud. read more

Great spirit selection, cool layout of the space and interesting cocktails! Bar staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. This place is pretty busy, but a fun spot for groups and meeting up with friends. Didn't get to try any food trucks and only one was operating on a Sunday night. Overall casual environment with quality product. read more

I really enjoyed my time here, and it was far different from what I initially expected, even after checking out the pictures and reviews on Yelp. Came here after drinking at some of the breweries nearby. We walked around the open space for a while, before settling down in the bar area and managing to grab a table next to the bar. There isn't too much outdoor seating, but the open space definitely makes you feel less cramped. The open space is pretty cool, and it's nice that they have a few food trucks there, including BBQ and even Thai food. The crowd is pretty hip, as the concept seems to attract the younger crowds, and everything is super casual, and the offerings are fairly unique. We had already eaten beforehand, so drinks were our first priority. I got an old-fashioned at the bar, which was a bit sweet for my tastes, but the pour was definitely generous, so I can't really complain about that, heh. Service at the bar was very attentive, although there was a bit of trouble managing the crowds, and the bartender got a little frazzled. Nonetheless, he was very friendly, and got our drinks and check to us very quickly. Prices are very reasonable, and they do have a good selection of cocktails and local beers. A great place for a casual date or low-key group hang out, especially when the weather cooperates. Props to Allie R. for the last minute recommendation! read more

Okay so I give this place 3 stars for the fact that it's cool and laid back and there's never too long of a line. However, this establishment spews liberal propaganda on every inch of their bar. I get that Colorado is more liberal, I've grown up here my whole life, but never have I seen such obnoxious liberal bull shit shoved down people's throats. I complained to some of the employees last night, told them if they want to keep all costumers, they need to show both sides of the political spectrum. Also, bar tenders are extremely rude. Every time I've been, very standoffish and impatient. Don't recommend unless you tear all the liberal signs down like I wanted to:) read more

I have gone here a few times, and each time has been great! I love all of the food options that are available, but I wish that all of them were there more frequently. For example, I was really hoping to get some Lumpia from the Filipino food truck (Pinoy Pride!) but was disappointed when I found out they were closed once I got there. The atmosphere is definitely more hippie and laid-back, as you'd expect in RiNo, but I can appreciate that. They also have a nice indoor bar area which comes in handy when it's freezing outside, but the line at the bar can be ridiculous. read more

Finn's Manor - At the "A Taste of the Philippines" food truck within Finn's Manor...mmm, sarap! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I like Finn's Manor on a random weekday night. A night where the bar is uncrowded and the bartender has time to make idle chitchat with me while I peruse the cocktail list. I like the weird, winding layout of Finn's Manor. A place that I think used to be a house? And is now just some open rooms where you find pockets of people hanging out. I like all the outside space at Finn's Manor. Especially now that summer is here. I like the food truck options because I like most of the food our Denver trucks put out. But, most of all I like the Blood and Sand cocktail they make. After I had my first one I spent the next few weeks asking for that cocktail at every bar and restaurant I visited. Very few of them could make it and of the ones that did make it none made it as well. The bartender told me he used tangerine juice instead of plain orange and perhaps that is what made all the difference. So, even if I liked nothing else about Finn's Manor I'd go back just for that cocktail. Luckily there is so much more for me to enjoy. read more

This place was pretty cool! They have a huge selection of beers and liquor to chose from. There was a lot of outdoor seating and a few different food cart options. We ate at the Thai cart and the chicken pad Thai was VERY good! We were here on a Saturday night so it was pretty busy but the service was quick considering how crowded it was. read more

So this is an interesting place. We got there (apparently right as it opened for the day?) and there were no food trucks. One looked to be setting up, we later found another "out around the back" The bar is nice, great beer selection, and I'm sure the hand crafted, slowly made artisanal drinks are to die for. The food set up needs some work. I'm hopeful that things are more ironed out now, we'll go back eventually and try it. The outside is a random hodge podge of seating, some covered some not. Food trucks seem to have semi permanent housing though one clearly labeled truck spot, was the music stand...? So yeah we went for food and a drink, and had a beer and left because i don't care how artisanal your BBQ is, $18 is too much for one serving. If you're allergic to flannel, beards, tight pants, beanies, and fixed gear bikes, this may not be the place for you, unless you go when they open. We left as the 'crowd' began to arrive. SO MUCH BEARD. read more

Finn's Manor is a great example of how businesses are keeping the funky/weird/old feel of RiNo instead of bulldozing and building new. Finn's used to be someone's house and garden..they simply gutted the house to expose the awesome brick and put a really nice bar inside. At the bar you can get very well made craft cocktails or some delicious craft beer. Outside in what used to be the garden is a very large patio area with plenty of seating/standing room. There are also a few food carts there for when you get hungry. I particularly like the BBQ one..the brisket chili is awesome! I've had drinks at Finn's a few times now and it has been great every time..weekends and weeknights. Wait hasn't been bad and the bartenders are very nice and knowledgable. read more

So I don't want to spend a ton of money but I love the optional eating options, the cozy nature of the seating and the tap selections and cocktails are great. This is a great place to stop for a snack before heading out to other places in RiNo or DT read more

This place rocks and is unlike any other in Denver! When you walk into the bar, you feel like you landed in New Orleans when seeing the red brick, epic liquor collection, and decor. Out back has a very open and wide seating area with space for 5 food trucks. My friends and I had a blast going inside for drinks, and eating food outside since the weather was so nice. The atmosphere is very colorful and upbeat and great for socializing! One of the best parts of the night was when my dad walked to the bar. Robert Sickler (one of the owners) was making drinks and my dad asked Robert to make him any kind of drink with burbon in it. Without hesitation, Robert made up a drink off the top of his head and served it to my dad. It was INCREDIBLE! My dad said it was the best cocktail he's ever had in his entire life! It had a taste of aspen or pine or something. Whatever it was, I loved it, and I hate burbon haha! Absolutely cannot wait to come back here. So much fun and a great concept with having the food trucks there. read more

I loved the vibe at Finn's. The only knock I have on the place, was that they didn't update their taplist before my visit. I went for a particular beer, but it wasn't there. Thankfully, the bartender made a great choice when I gave her the two that I was interested in. I love places that don't have a corporate feel, and this place fit the bill. Having an outside bar, and food trucks, is a huge plus. Next time I'm in Denver, I'll definitely be returning. read more

Fun new bar with a great outdoor area. The inside is small but the outside is massive with some heaters so you won't totally freeze in the Winter. The drinks are strong and delicious, they also have a great beer menu. The food outside is also great. A definite must try if you're in the area and are looking for a cool new spot. read more

Great bar, but my review is for Twans burgers. Waited over 45 minutes for 3 burgers and saw other people behind me who had orders get their food. Asked them where our order was and they responded by saying, "we are going as fast as we can, but we can give you a refund." It's not even super busy, but they skipped over our order clearly and were just being d bags about it. Decent smash burgers with a side of bad attitude is the norm i guess. But i don't support this kind of treatment especially when Antwan was so cool when he first started out. Then my friend walks over to them (her order was gluten free) and she literally saw the guy move her order to last after all of this!! She calls him out and he replies by yelling at her, "we aren't a f$&&@ McDonald's" never will support this place again. Absolute jerks, especially for my friend with a dietary restriction. read more

Finn's Manor is one of my favorite spots in RINO for many reasons. The bar area/indoor seating area is pretty small, but roomy enough to handle the nighttime crowds passing through on the average weekend night. The side area is semi outside, covered and heated, but still not fully inside. The back portion of the side area is where the food trucks/carts are. I have been told the food service rotates, but I have always seen the BBQ truck, a steamed bun truck, and a Philippines truck. My friends have experimented with all the trucks, but my go to is the BBQ. I personally think it is some of the best smoked meat I have had in Denver too. My go to is brisket served in a bowl over mac'n'cheese! As for the inside, the bar is known for cocktails and beer selection. Finn's Manor is one of the best cocktail bars I have been to in Denver recently. I usually get some sort of whiskey cocktail, bartender's choice, and try one of the 20 taps of craft beers on tap. The craft beers on tap are always rotating and always unique. read more

What a lovely little bar. It's the kind of spot you want to hoard for yourself. I almost don't want even want to tell you about it, but...it deserves to be talked about. This funky, fun spot offers both a great indoor and outdoor vibe. The inside bar is dim and homey, and the bartenders are as friendly as can be. The outdoor area is a vast, and open. Their is ample patio seating, but an open area in the back with heat lamps and a roaster. I have only been there during non-prime times, so it has been quiet and nearly empty. Also, for a place calling themselves a "cocktail bar" they are making very tasty mixed drinks! That something that I regard highly, and they are delivering. read more

One of the coolest bars in Denver. The cocktail list is expertly curated, and this is coming from a retired bartender with many years of service. This is also an excellent place to take a whiskey, tequila, or mescal aficionado. They have many interesting beers on draft, some are quite rare. Typically there are food trucks around. They have a large outdoor patio, with abundant heat lamps. This is across the street from Ratio Brewing, which is a great option should you pub crawl. read more

We popped in late Saturday afternoon this past week and greatly enjoyed our visit. The location is hard to miss as the outside is brightly coloured, and there is ample street parking. We found that there was tons of seating outside, though inside is definitely limited. Tricky as it was pretty chilly out and there were no heaters going outside. Our bartenders were very helpful and I liked the cocktail and cider choices. I went for the margarita and tried the playa del rino. My husband tried two beers and then had a whiskey cocktail with a super tricky and long name. The cocktail won him over. We'll absolutely look forward to returning, though perhaps on a warmer day. I think one of our favorite parts was the music played. Super catchy 'oldies' that could easily start some dance parties. read more

I heard about this place through a friend. It sucked, but there was a loud black man in flannel who kept me entertained. He looked to be having the best time, which I envied. the drinks were so expensive for the quality. Which was terrible. Trakal is disgusting read more

Very cool place with awesome drinks and food truck options (4). There's an indoor bar space and a lot of outdoor space to hang out. Very awesome environment. They enclose some of the outdoor spots and have heaters so being outside wasn't bad on a cold night. Got pretty packed on a Saturday night but there's two bars and never had to wait to get a drink. read more

Just a super neat and unique location. My wife and I just moved to 5 points and are just agape at all the wonderful places to eat and drink here. Finns is so far the archetype of what makes this RINO so amazing. I will now need to get a second job since I will almost definitely be making this place a regular stop and will need more income to support my habit. God damnit. read more

People have been really talking this spot up and it's definitely amazing. Good crowd on a Sunday night with one food truck. Drinks were excellent! The bar tenders also knew exactly what I was in the mood for and lined up my drink with what I didn't even know I wanted: read more

I found this cool little place last night when we were roaming around RINO to find a place to eat. It's a cute little place with several food trucks sharing the same space with a bar.. So there are maybe 4-5 different food stands.. and some seating areas outside.. a bar inside.. and a smoking area as well. The outside area is all covered, so it can still be an option for y'all in some rain/snow (not a Colorado blizzard though). I'm not sure if they bring in different food trucks.. the night I was there, there was Thai food.. steamed buns.. Jamaican.. and Filipino food. I can't remember the last truck there... My friend and I decided to try the Jambalaya from the Jamaican truck. It came in a rather smaller bowl with cornbread. I thought it wouldn't be enough food, but with a 16 oz beer, it filled us up hehe :) It was pretty good.. not the best jambalaya i've had.. but it was very savory and went very well with the corn bread. With just the food and drinks, I would give this place 3 stars, but I like the overall idea of it.. everyone was eating and drinking, talking and laughing, and having a great time. The different food trucks were fun and unique, and it was overall just a fun experience. I would definitely come back. read more

I have been to Finn's many a time and I absolutely adore it. Every time. It'll get pretty darn busy on Fridays and Saturdays. And if the weather isn't nice, you may want to pass if you don't get there early. The actual bar itself, the only part inside, is rather small with very limited seating. But the outside is where there's magic to be had. A (semi-rotating) cast of food trucks will keep your rumbly tumbly happy (May I recommend Night Shift when they're there, you won't be disappointed) and a surprisingly awesome Beer list in addition to what I roughly calculated to be 45,000 different whiskies and bourbons to satisfy your booze intake port. It's fun and weird and cool and a little out there but it's a blast. Patrons are always enjoyable, I've met some friends and always had fun chats with random strangers, and while the bar can occasionally be a bit on the slow side, the 'tenders are friendly and fun folk who always have a suggestion or recommendation. See you there! read more

Awesome place to hang out during warm weather. Large selection of beer and awesome food trucks! Bar service was very fast and friendly. Food trucks are efficient at taking orders and making sure you get your order in a timely manner. Took my friends here from NY and they absolutely loved the concept. When it gets busy it's hard to find a "Homebase" table to sit around with your friends and put your drinks down so get there early and grab a spot before it gets busy! read more

Another solid spot in the RiNo area. What's neat is that there's probably something for everyone here. Mardi Gras inspired bar? Check. Patio drinking? Check. Barbecue? Crafted cocktails and beer? Cheap tacos? Curry? Filipino food? Thai? CHECK to all! The vibe is pretty friendly right now, and I like that the layout makes it seem like there's truly 3-4 different bars. This place is more for conversation and hanging out, and there's tables for smaller groups that don't want interference, and then big communal tables if you want to maybe get a little more social. read more

We came here late night on a Friday and were certainly not disappointed. The ambiance is great - laid-back but refreshing and classy New Orleans vibe. Unfortunately, we missed the food trucks - but will absolutely return to check them out as they selection was impressive. This is definitely a place worth checking out next time you're out. read more

Stopped in again Saturday night for drinks & dinner. Drinks were good, but it was a little difficult for me to find something to eat. The 3 food trucks were primarily serving all meat dishes. Being a vegetarian isn't so uncommon these days. There was one dish between all three trucks I could order.. the kimchi tofu which I did end up ordering. I was so hungry, I really wanted to like it but it definitely fell short. Insert sad clowny face.. The tofu was essentially slightly warmed up and, crumbled with a light schmear of the kimchi sauce on it. It was really disappointing. We ended up leaving and going somewhere else to eat. I would come back for drinks, but not the food. read more

I don't know what it ALL is but I really like this place. It totally wasn't what I was expecting. This place looks like an old house converted into a bar. You walk in the social area and in the back is a bar and an area for food trucks. Now I'm not gonna lie, the food trucks are a little expensive. But the food was pretty good. I went to the cajun food truck and got jambalya. It was about $8 after tip. It wasn't too salty and the flavor was good. It maybe could've been a little spicier but maybe they keep it mild for all the non-spicy weaklings. LOL Anyway, when this place gets crowded it gets very very loud. It was hard to have a conversation even at elevated speaking levels. This is a very popular place and I'd like to go back, on a night where it's not as busy. We had a great time. read more

Robert & Michael at the outside bar, Finn's Grotto, are amazing! Great cocktails on tap, homemade sangria and amazinggg daily specials! Best chill spot for good drinks and good vibes since I've been to in Denver. read more

This place is on top right now in Denver. Best food and drinks. Great atmosphere. Beautiful people. Why go anywhere else Denver? Best BBQ I have ever eaten. Falafel wrap with Punjabi sauce: blew my mind - no joke. Caramelized Apple sorbet. Pork belly bao bun. Bao bun with peanut butter, raspberry, and corn flakes. Get there after 7 so the food trucks are all going because these people selected the best in Denver. read more

avoid. crowded and if you wait patiently for a drink inside after the people that got there before you the bartender will happily ignore you for the douchebag Brett that just got there and is desperately waving his credit card in their face lol after waiting for four people to get their drinks and getting skipped we decided the place just wasn't worth it better places, better service anywhere on larimer tbh read more

My significant other and I came here and we both got the special which was a pirate punch. It was so good and fairly priced ! We each got 2 of these, and ordered food from one of the trucks. The bar was also really cool and rustic looking, with hundreds of different liquors. The bartenders were super nice and were open to making whatever drinks we had in mind :) We will definitely be back! read more

Fun place to hang out with friends and get a drink. Love the patio area - perfect for summer! Service is a little slow behind the bar and the cocktails are ok. Definitely worth the trip for the atmosphere. read more

I really wanted to like this place but was more than a little disappointed. Both me and my friend ordered the Melon Mule and only took about two drinks of it before giving up. I am going to chalk it up to the bartender having an off night. I've had plenty of Moscow Mules and have never been as disappointed. As for the feel of the place I really liked it. It is fun and colorful. I would go back and give it another chance ( and probably just stick to a beer this time). Unfortunately my friend is not one to give second chances.... read more

This is the best bar in Denver. Eat in the court yard filled with food truck fare. Or go into the bar and get something out the punch bowl. Either way, your sure to have a great time. read more

Love the outdoor seating! And the decor & beer selection are great. Love taking people here to explore RiNo!

So, I missed the mark by picking out Finn's Manor one night. I was hoping for low-key, having a really good and well made cocktail, and just being comfortable. Finn's Manor is wayyyy more lively than I was ready for the night I checked it out. So, definitely go if that's what you're in the mood for. Things I liked: - Food carts! Yay for having these- I can't say that any of them are good because I didn't eat there, but I'm hoping this will catch on the way it has in Portland. - Great outdoor space, colorful, and fun when that's what you're in the mood for. - Communal tables that bring people together (even strangers) - Awesome beer list for a place that is primarily about the cocktails Where it fell short? - The cocktails, hence the reason I give it fewer stars. For the price point, I was really hoping they were going to be better than what they were. Mine was good, but watery and it tasted like something I could have gotten at a pub someplace for half the cost. My love got their version of an old fashioned, which because they didn't use actual whiskey, was lacking that oh-so-important bite that old fashioneds usually have. Meh. Pro tip: Odd to say, but the beer list was pretty good, with many to choose from. I think if I stop back over there, that's what I'll get vs spend money on a mediocre cocktail. read more
