Sad to write this. Absolutely love their wings and overall great vibes for a fall/winter Sunday. However, our past two experiences have been disappointing. We attempted to go today. Every seat at the bar was taken and only a couple tables were vacant and they had one employee working the bar and all the tables. The poor employee (who we have had as a server before and has been great) was running around like crazy and unable to keep up. We had to leave before we could even get drinks. This is the second time recently that this has happened. Please consider staffing up or having manager/owner there on days like today where it’s expected to be busy- you’re losing consistent customers.

Once upon when I first came here, I had terrible service ( 6 years ago), and it was the biggest reason I never came back for so long. But there was a time I came after that to meet a friend, and I met the most amazing people of my life. Not only do they make you feel like family, but they also have amazing drinks. The staff is amazing. I love taylor, slone, eric,kyle, Teresa, Peter, and Lauren. They honestly make you feel like family, and i hoesntly mean that, and I can appreciate that about them. I can honestly say that the people who opened this place knew what they were doing, hiring these wonderful people. I come back again and again because of these lovely souls. Come here, eat food, drink, and have a good time because they will always make you feel welcome. Especially taylor and slone, they are the besy bartenders I have ever met.

This review is for the carrots and those who love carrots. Have you ever wanted to bite into a carrot that just tastes like a carrot is meant to taste? These are sweet (but not too sweet), crunchy (the perfect crunch), and full of flavor (carrot). You haven’t had a carrot until you’ve had a Finley Dunne’s Carrot.
Edit: the celery is also good

Was referred to this bar for Illini games from the board room podcast. Solid chill spot for games with a fun atmosphere and good food. Good location and not to overwhelming compared to some of the other Illini bars in town.

I've been going to Finleys for more than ten years at this point, so I guess I should finally get around to leaving a review.I feel like this is one of the only places in the neighborhood where you can go out and experience a fun atmosphere, solid food, reliable service... and not spend a small fortune.Things I really like about Finley Dunnes Tavern:1. 2.50 PBR drafts2. The Ryan Burger, Guinness Brat, Wings, seasoned fries, and to a slightly lesser extent the tavern style pizzas, the Chicago Dog, and the BLT3. They play the sound for whatever the primary sporting event is that night4. Golden tee and darts5. Great folks behind the bar serving up food and drinks who take care of you even when the place is packed6. Oh Yeah Bombs7. The combination of St Patty's Day, March Madness, and their seasonal corned beef sandwichesI'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but TLDR: this is my favorite spot to hang out with friends and/or watch sports in the city of Chicago.
