Finn Mac Cool's Pub

Great local bar with a smoke-free back room. Beer is affordable and it is quiet enough to catch up with old friends.

It's one of my favorite spots for Stitch And Bitch nights (girlfriends, yarn and beer -- a great way to unwind).

As I approached the entrance of Finn Mac Cool's (trying not to trip in my Valentine's Day heels that I really can't walk in), I could taste the smoke seeping through the building from around the corner! I turned around and put my coat in my car because I knew it'd reek for weeks if I let it in there. I'm a little sensitive/allergy-ish, but I think we could all agree on the potency of the cigarette fumes at Finn's.

But still, 4 stars it is! I may have feared for my lungs, but all in all I had a blast at this little pub. They had woodchuck cider on tap - which is awesome - along with a slew of other great beers ranging from cheap to pretty crafty.

The front room with the bar has tables for sitting, mingling, and eating, and the back room is a sort of pool hall/sort of lounge for roaming and sporting. We played cricket, and I'll have you know I've got some surprising dart throwing prowess going on. There are a couple tables, a bar along the wall (with video games attached?!), and plenty of stools in this back room. You can put your feet up while others play their games! Know what else is back there? A quarter wall with a door that leads to nowhere new. It's literally just a random wall with a door in it. It's quite strange and makes this otherwise conventional bar a bit whimsical!

Great low key bar. Cheap drinks, but the only drawback is the smoke. Very smoky, makes it hard to breathe.
