Great local Irish pub right on Federal Highway. Lots of food and drink options. I got my food to go. Found the service fast and friendly. Would definitely come here again for the atmosphere or live music. Lots of loyal patrons.

Bread Pudding

I've driven past this place on the east side of Federal in south Delray so many times, but today I intentionally drove out there for lunch. BTW if you are looking for live music, it starts at eight o'clock. We started with Sausage Rolls. Finnegans uses puff pastry wrapped around actual bangers in their's, and served with a bowl of a dark onion gravy to dip it in. They were quite flavorful and good. My wife had the Beet and Goatcheese salad with blacked chicken added. She really liked the salad, but loved the fried pad of goat cheese that topped it. It was a pleasant textural surprise. I chose the Guinness Beef and Lamb Stew, topped with puff pastry and mashed potatoes. It was appealing to eye, using a rosemary spring as a tree on Mount Mashed Potatoes, as it was on the tastebuds. For dessert we tried the bread pudding. It was pretty good, just a tad dry. We both liked it. I would definitely come back, for lunch or dinner.

Chicken tenders were not great.

Food was just ok. Service was a bit better. The ambience was fun. Motown music. Chicken tenders were not great. Tasted like frozen.

Fish and chips

Food is outstanding! We have loved all of the following, Sausage rolls and homemade gravy is outstanding, Bavarian pretzel, irish potato soup, shepherds pie, beef and lamb Guinness stew, chicken curry, fish and chips and homemade Baileys cheesecake our server JR is AWESOME! He is super friendly and goes above and beyond for you your whole visit! Ambiance is great and seating very comfortable. Also the entertainers Brian and Brian were fantastic!!!

Meatloaf dinner

I cannot say enough about Tim Finnegans ! This establishment has amazing service. From the time we entered in we were greeted and asked where we would like to sit and what type of table preference we had, who asks that? Considerate hostess staff that's who ask that .... also they recognized we weren't a regular patron and asked if we were one of the attendants to the reserved party; quick thinking but no thank you. We sat at the bar our preferred seating and ordered cocktails and appetizers both were amazing. I was so impressed by the appetizer I was excited for the dinner entre. We ordered the fish/chips a classic for an Irish pub and meatloaf the second classic. I don't have words for the amazing texture and gravy of the meatloaf it was far beyond 5 star, The fish and chips we were told had famous chef's asking for the recipe and after tasting it we had no doubt the story was true. The atmosphere is friendly, the regulars strike up conversation easily and when the live music starts you are in for a treat. The owners Lisa and Noel have created a real treat for each patron and we will be back. We live 45 miles away and that will not stop us from making this a regular hang out

We came here on a Sunday afternoon. Vibe kinda seemed like an "older" person Irish pub. It wasn't busy and the bartender seemed to also be the waitress. She was very nice and quick considering she was managing the bar and tables. So impressed with her customer service. We ordered the fish sandwich and fish and chips platter with a side of curry! Food was delicious. There was an older group in the back maybe practicing for a irish kinda band? I would let them get on stage and practice instead of playing music on the speakers and them playing in the way back. They were all so cute! I will definitely have to come back at a different time to check this place out. We are in our early 40's and were definitely the youngest in there by about 20 years lol.

The perfect pint.

A gem. If you love a great Irish pub, this is your place. The servers are friendly and great ... same for the crowd in general. Live music and trivia from time to time, Guinness of course and a good menu (chicken curry is the bomb!). Oh and there is ample parking as well

Alex M.

Came here to have a few drinks and got an Irish coffee, which was OK they didn't make it very good as some of us didn't finish the drink, but the Guinness was good and the surrounding food from the other tables that look good, so I am looking forward to coming back and try out their food.

Fish and chips

Typical Irish pub! I love it with in 3 mins of sitting at the bar the bartender yelled at the phone for ringing!! LOL no you can't bring in your own food to eat here!! I about lost it and fell off my chair. That's when I realized we made a great call. Food was good had the fish and chips it was really good and fresh. Several Guinness for dessert. Then it was trivia night and $5 martinis. What could go wrong? This place was packed for trivia night and I think I could here the martini shaker in my sleep for 4 days. Good food, good drinks, and great times like I said typical Irish pub. Enjoy!!!

An Irish pub with a big bar, lots of tables an Irish fare. We came on a Friday night and enjoyed listening to the live music. It's sort of reminded me of a college bar, With college music and a crowd 60+. Very colorful! We went with another couple and had a comfortable table and great service. Our waitress was on top of everything, our food came out quickly our glasses were refilled and she couldn't do enough for us. I enjoyed my corned beef plate and instead of cabbage had lots of vegetables. My husband enjoyed his fish and chips. We had a big block of bread pudding for dessert in a chocolate syrup sauce, it was OK. Our friends enjoyed their dinners. Portions were very generous.

Inside

We stopped here hot lunch today. They weren't very busy, and we joined a few other folks sitting at the bar. I ordered their Guinness stew. It's beef and lamb in a wonderfully delicious brown sauce. It came with a mound of mashed potatoes on the side and topped with a square of flaky puff pastry. I'd get this again in a heartbeat. My husband had an ice cold harps beer to start. Then he had their bangers and mash. He also added an order of bread and butter on the side. The portion was huge and he ate it all. He really liked it, but said my stew would the next thing he'd try e we hen he came back. The place is quite large inside. On the weekends they have a brunch menu and also serve unlimited Mimosas and Bloody Mary's. They have events -- like a karaoke night, bingo night, et al. If you're craving Irish pub food, or you've never had it, this is the place to try it. We will be back.

After a major disappointment finding out that Gabose Pocha was closed for renovations, we ended up…read moreat this Irish pub I used to visit years ago. When we first pulled up, the parking lot was nearly empty, and inside there were only a few people scattered around. My companion went straight to the restroom, so I found a seat at the bar. The first thing we were told was that the kitchen was already closed even though it was only 9 PM which was a bit disappointing since I was hungry. Since it's an Irish pub, they mainly serve beer and wine, so I ordered a Guinness followed by a light beer. Despite the slow start, the night turned out to be unexpectedly enjoyable. We ended up meeting some wonderful people from Italy, Poland, and Turkey. It was especially nice connecting with the gentleman from Turkey, as I had traveled there last year, and we had a great conversation about that experience. The same went for the gentleman from Italy. It was refreshing and easy to talk to everyone. Even after closing, we stayed outside for a while continuing our conversations. The atmosphere inside the pub had a classic Irish feel, very reminiscent of my time in Ireland years ago, with signed celebrity photos decorating the walls adding to its charm. Also money from various countries. The lady behind the bar was extremely friendly and attentive throughout the night, constantly checking in and making sure we were taken care of. It's been years since I last visited, but after this experience, I'll definitely be going back soon.

Stopped in for fish and chips and a fish sandwich. The fish was hand breaded and fresh and came out…read morepiping hot. We ate in the back dart room which was a little quieter and had a bunch of groups also grabbing fish. The back room has a lot of history and is a cool area. Service was excellent and the waitress was friendly and quick. We will definitely be back.
