Food is fabulous; Scottish eggs, cottage pie, and corned beef & cabbage are a must, perhaps with some Smithwick’s Irish Ale. Staff is quite friendly and our server (Ashley) was excellent. Only minus is the lack of an elevator to reach the second floor.

HANDS DOWN the best meal we have had in ages. We traveled from middle TN to the area for our one year anniversary, and we were treated like family. The drinks were delicious… the atmosphere was authentic and intimate… and the food was STELLAR! 👌🏼 My husband is very picky about his proteins, and he claims this is the best pork chop he’s ever had! I’m in awe. We met the owner as well, and he’s one of a kind! Don’t pass up a chance to dine at Finn’s. You’ll never be the same! Thank you John… and your team! And kudos to the chef! ❤️
Stopped by on a Wednesday night. Enjoyed everything about this restaurant. Nice corner table, pleasant volume level of music, waiter was very attentive. The hummus was great. My wife got the corned beef. I’m not much of a meat eater but this was very tasty. Old pictures and information about the Baker Peters house. Several draft beer options. Nice renovations since it was Baker Peters Jazz club. We’ll definitely visit again.
I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. The atmosphere and entire set up is very charming and unique. I could’ve easily stayed all night admiring the place if possible. They had live music going too!I had one of the specials which was a filet topped with crab, mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. I didn’t have a bite left on my plate and it was easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. I wish I could eat it again as I’m typing this. My tables server Slater was very personable and attentive. The bartender Beau makes the best martinis. And I actually spent majority of my time talking to the host Chelsey!! She is an absolute delight and really sets the tone for the place. I’m so glad I finally went to this place and I can’t wait to go back! I can’t say enough good things about the establishment and their staff. 10 stars!
Loved the Scotch Eggs. The Fish and Chips were yummy, especially the Tarter Sauce. The Pimento Cheese dip was awesome, you definitely have to try it.
A completely charming restaurant! Our first time visiting yesterday. Our server, Stephanie, was very nice, helpful, and engaging. The ambiance was country charm and comfortable with an excellent music playlist to accompany the meal. The food was absolutely delicious and garnered a big "thumbs up" from all at the table. I enjoyed the Irish Cottage Pie ... rich and savory. The Scotch eggs were very flavorful. The rest at the table had Fish 'n Chips, which were so delicious as to remind my British Mum of home!
So I love the building where Finn's is located. It is a historical home built in 1830's, so it has a lot of character, so different from the many chain restaurants in the area. We had brunch and I had corned beef hash and it was excellent. The service was top notch and we enjoyed our experience. I have also been here for cocktails and I enjoyed the bar area.
Atmosphere is one of a kind. Great beer. Good food. Kitchen was fast and service was pleasant. Exactly what you want.

Authentic Irish Pub. My wee green heart grew 3 sizes this day.. It's upscale so no $5 greasy bangers and mash. Keep reading for food review.
We absolutely loved it. Slater and Ashley took care of us and did a banging job. We had a real craic with them.
Warning, they advise having a reservation, but we were able to get a table because it was late on a Wednesday. The weekends get loud because they have live music but it's on the deck so meh whatever.
I had the Cottage Pie. Meaning it has minced beef not lamb. It was seasoned well. Could have used a little pepper, but I'm not complaining. The portion was spot on and filling. Would have been nice to have gotten some soda bread to sop with. So that was a little disappointing.
My wife had the fish and chips. Fresh tasting for I am sure frozen fish. We are landlocked so it's acceptable. The house tarter was good, and the chips aka fries were good and crispy.
Oh the Irish Spring Rolls... cabbage and corned beef... it makes ye happy lad.
Bread Pudding. I am a BP Junkie. So I am critical so take this as you will. The texture was spot on, the sweet level was perfect. It was just a little heavy on the allspice.
Pros: Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good selection, great location, good hours, authentic in flavor.
Cons: it is wheelchair accessible on the first floor, but the deck and bar are upstairs: it's pricey if you are just looking for greasy bar food, it can get booked up fast.
