Finn's Pub

I was contacted by a stranger to update my review of Finn's on Yelp, so just like that I had plans for the night.

I came in, they ID'd me at the door, and I seated myself. I sat at the bar waiting to order a drink, but it looks like everyone is assigned to their own quadrant of the bar - so I didn't get served right away. That's fine. I'll wait. BUT THEN ... two girls came in after me, and a bartender walked up to them and said something. The girls got up, and moved further down the bar and received service right away. I, on the other hand, am still waiting to order a drink. The only asian kid in the bar, sitting by himself, waiting, leaning in, trying to make eye contact with bartenders (there were four mind you).

About 15 minutes go by, and I finally get my drink (as I watched other people get served first). Naturally I order a Guinness because that's what most of the reviewers on here seem to be having a problem with. The bartender poured it correctly (filling a Guinness glass up half-way, letting it sit, and topping it off), and processed me promptly. When I looked around, the bartenders looked engaging enough, just not with me. I don't understand because I'm sitting there dressed like I'm going to a wedding reception, equipped with a camera, and sitting by myself. In no way did I feel I was hostile, unapproachable, or smelly.

Now I'm not playing the race card or anything, Finn's Pub is the sister of the club upstairs which caters to every ethnicity - but something just wasn't right about that night.

What did I do?

I put a dollar in the jukebox, and played Gangnam Style as I left through the front door. Maybe they remembered me then.

Sorry guy who contacted me, my review stays at 3/5. It's not a bad score, it just needs a little improvement. First time I went in November, I got service worthy of a celebrity. Not sure what happened in between.

[UPDATED From previous review: They have an enormous selection of liquor and draft beers now. Most are craft drafts, and there were some liquors that I didn't even know of (and I'm a bartender).]

Stopped in for a drink after dinner elsewhere, around 9pm and was disappointed. It was not what I expected, the bar area was spacious. Guinness was poured a little fast for my preference. Bartenders were more interested in there phones or friends. Place seemed setup for the college party crowd.

Terrible.  My buddy ordered a Sam Adams and I ordered a Guinness. He gets the Sam Adams in a Guinness glass and I got a one pour Guinness in a Sam Adams glass.  The bartender who had zero personality shrugged this off when I addressed it, brought me a Guinness in a guinness glass 10 minutes later, which was single poured again, and it was terrible.  Got to clean those lines out.  First and last experience here.
