    Great local pub! I do wish it was non-smoking, this will probably keep me from going too often. I liked the atmosphere, other than the smoke, but smokers deserve a place to go too lol

    No food, private club. Nasty smell from cigarettes the second you walk in. Best to not go unless you're a smoker.

    A great spot to hang out and grab drinks with friends or be packed into a cramped bar with drowning…read moremusic in the background. It all depends on the night. Overall, I like Finnegan's Wake. The drinks are strong, well-priced, and there are always a wide variety of brands to choose from. The bartenders are friendly and make you feel like a regular, even if you only pop in once a month or so. That being said, this type of experience usually only applies Monday-Thursday and Sunday. Friday and Saturday are a completely different ballgame. On the weekends, Finnegan's turns from a relaxing Irish pub into a main Tallahassee music venue with Fifth & Thomas, adding swarms of people, a bouncer, seating that you have to fight for, and deafening background noise. Although the bartenders try to keep up, it's hard to to get to the bar and then even harder to have them hear your order. I know it is what it is, but it's hard to enjoy a visit hear on the weekends. Overall then, Finnegan's makes for a relaxing spot with friends on off-nights, but be prepared for what you're getting yourself into on the weekends.

    The food at this establishment was quite possibly the worst "Irish" pub fare I have ever consumed…read more The Shepard's Pie was drier than the Sahara and looked like it had just been pulled out of a Marie Calender's box. The Loaded Tots were topped with warmed up ham cold cuts and shredded cheddar cheese, warm but not completely melted, ew. The only redeeming quality of the tots was the beer cheese sauce that I used to drown out the frozen tot flavor. To add insult to injury, I was served a Guinness from a bottle which is a damn disgrace given the place calls itself an Irish pub. It wasn't even a full pint of Guinness! The atmosphere was palatable but the music was some random DJ Press Play big booty remix. Why no Irish music? Or something a bit more on "theme"? And I say theme, because that is all it was, a theme. An idea in the ether that remained unfulfilled in reality, and is only supported by the numbing effect of the spirits on the visitor who must pretend they are in an Irish Pub.

The pub has a cozy,…read morehole-in-the-wall feel with a separate dining room and game room, making it seem like a fun neighborhood spot. The service was also a highlight--our food came out quickly, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the food just didn't meet expectations. The cheese fries sounded promising because the fries themselves were crispy and well-seasoned, but the cheese topping had an unpleasant flavor that completely overwhelmed the dish. The wings were another disappointment since they arrived without any sauce, leaving them pretty bland. The ranch was decent, but nothing memorable. On the positive side, the pretzels were warm, soft, and easily the best thing we ordered. While I appreciated the fast service and laid-back atmosphere, the inconsistent food quality made this one a miss for me. There's potential here, but based on this visit, I'd probably choose another spot next time.

I ordered a hot dog with sauerkraut which was pretty darn good but the Irish Reuben the next day was tasty but mushy and greasy. The fries seemed like they were boiled in oil instead of fried. Their pepperoni is eatable but my my favorite. Nice friendly employees. I'd go there to drink but I would not order any chow until I was pretty lit up didn't care.
