Finz Raw Bar and Grill

A great place to watch the game while having an affordable drink and enjoying great food. The food in particular is much better than you would expect from a normal neighborhood bar. Be careful though, the owners, staff & customers are really friendly; you could find yourself hanging out here a lot.

I've been to Finz twice now - both on weekend nights. Friday nights are packed, so be warned! We sat at the bar both times and came specifically for peel & eat shrimp. The price is reasonable for Charlotte and both times they've come out of the kitchen still steaming hot and drenched in Old Bay - my favorite!

This isn't a fancy place by any means, but if you're in the area looking for a cold brew and some bar fare give them a shot!

Next time I may have to check out their wings, they look delicious!

I read all the reviews after my girlfriends decided to drag me out to see a Band last night. The place was not packed so parking wasn't an issue (we got there around  8:30pm but it was Good Friday after all).

No meat so we he had the veggie platter with hummus, coconut shrimp with spicy orange dipping sauce, fried calamari with an asian chili type sauce, crab meat stuffed mushrooms.

I have to say the food was excellent! Portions split amongst us were perfect, this is not your typical bar food. In fact, if you've ever been to Bonfire in Monroe while its a lot bigger - the food here at Finz is head and shoulders above them, and I know my food at every level :)  Bonfire I'd pass on sorry.

Bathrooms are very clean, the bar itself and tables are as well, and the Waitress we had was a sweetheart! Loved her, very attentive. The prices were perfect! Nothing broke the bank, which is why we were able to get a bunch of appetizers and sample a nice variety of picky foods! Great menu!

Saw kids leaving around 9pm with parents so there are high tables to eat at. I know you can book parties there, they apparently have two tonight per the waitress. I'd absolutely consider it for a party esp. with bands like Smiling Dogs or SugarSmax.

All in All, if you want a nice night out with friends, able to see and hear a band from anywhere in the bar (by the way they were not so loud that you left with a headache like Skinnyz). Apparently they have an outdoors area that we will definitely be back this summer to try out. LOVED the band, hope to see another tonight, you can't beat free as in no cover charge (please don't change that!) and close to home.

I think we'll try the burgers tonight to see how other items on the menu are but kudos to the chef there. The salads that walked by looked awesome too.

*Note: we wanted the Caprese Skewers but they were out of Mootz :( and I saw someone walk by with a pizza that looked just a littttttle too dark, but still give them four stars, we are fans and will be back.

You have a winning mix there, don't change anything!
