Finnigan's Wake Irish Pub

I came here while in town from a recommendation of the hospital staff where we were working.  We came here on a Wednesday night and appeared to be the only people there.

After being the NC for a few days I had grown accustomed to the fabulous service. The server here, a young man, looked distressed and bored in his job but he did a fine job.

I ordered the pulled pork and dear God it was the best thing I ever had in my mouth. I dont remember anything else from the night but that. I wasnt expecting to find amazing pulled pork at an Irish join but I did and I will make a point to come back here when I am in town just for that.

Also, we were watching the Stanley cup game here and their tv was accommodating

Stopped into Finnegan's with friends last night for more than just drinks.  Despite the event going on on Trade St, we were sat right away.  The restaurant was raucous, which was ok with us, but patrons seeking a quieter experience may have been disappointed.

Our server was. . . meh. . . adequate but odd.  Hard to describe.

I got the Meatloaf melt with sweet potato fries.  My sandwich was bangin'.  Great flavor  in the thick slices of meatloaf.  Well-buttered and toasted bread.  Well seasoned fries.  I loved it.  May seem weird to rave about a meatloaf sandwich, but I just really enjoyed it.

We had White Gummy Bear shots that were dangerously delicious.

In the past I've gotten food here that I was disappointed with (Nachos with super watery chili).

But this past visit gets a solid 4 stars.  Thanks Finny's.

I've been to Finnigan's for lunch, brunch and drinks on separate occasions.  Brunch is reasonably priced with typically good service.  Lunch was decent--nothing exceptional--with quick service.  It's a great place to see live music, but can get very crowded, and then service goes downhill fast, even if you're at a table.  Drinks are cheap and there's a good selection of beer on tap.  I'll probably be back, especially for the live music!
