This place actually feels like stepping into a pub in Ireland. Well done! The Giant Pretzel and Paddy O'Pickle Back Melt were a delicious pairing. Good customer service and relaxing atmosphere on a weekday evening.

Fionn Maccool’s feels like a place that should be great. The atmosphere is lively and it absolutely seems like a fun spot to grab drinks. Unfortunately, our experience eating here was defined almost entirely by the service, and not in a good way.

It was just the two of us and the pub was not busy. Our appetizers arrived before our drinks even though we ordered just wine and a whiskey right away. From there it only got worse. We watched tables that came in after us get quick, attentive service. Dirty plates piling up in front of us and we had to ask for them to be cleared. No one checked on us during the meal and our waters were never refilled. It genuinely felt like we were invisible. The playlist they had going was awesome, then the live music started and it was pretty terrible.

What made it more frustrating was that this seemed isolated to our server. Every other table around us appeared to be getting great, efficient service, which made the difference impossible not to notice.

The food was average at best. The beef stew was fine. The shepherd’s pie was extremely heavy and oddly packed into a large crescent that we did not even touch. The whiskey cake had so much whiskey flavor that it completely overpowered the dessert.

This feels like a solid place to stop in for drinks, but based on this visit, we will not be coming back for food. A 2.5 would feel more accurate, but since that is not an option, this lands at 3 stars.

Great place away from busy areas.

I really like the place, and the service was excellent.
I ordered the corned beef and cabbage. It was very good, but was light on the cabbage. Why? That is the cheap stuff.

Fantastic experience at Finn McCool’s in Nocatee!
The fish was cooked perfectly — crispy on the outside, flaky and fresh on the inside — easily one of the best I’ve had anywhere nearby. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, and Alex absolutely nailed the Black and Tan pour — perfect balance, smooth all the way through. Great food, great pint, great service. Can’t wait to come back.

Need more football on Sunday though. Lost a star for that.

We went for lunch. My mother got the smashburger. It came with a bacon jam. She wasn't told that. She very much expressed to the waiter that she didn't like it and barely touched her burger. He said he didn't like it himself but a lot of people love it. He didn't even try to rectify the issue. But the atmosphere was good. Seems like it could be a fun place.
