“Spent many nights here, back in the day. Way back.“

“The steak could use a little work, but other than that, the place is great!“

“The 324 is easily the best-kept secret in Manhattan. Tucked away from the usual rowdy Aggieville crowd, it hits the spot if you want an actual craft cocktail. The vibe is cozy, low-lit, and upscale without feeling snobby. Bartenders seriously know their stuff—the Smoked Old Fashioned was top-tier. It's the perfect place for date night or just drinking like an adult for once. Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful ambience, creative cocktails, and delicious food. One of the more upscale places in MHK. l am always pleased with my experience there.“

“Great sandwich cold beer - friendly place“

“When all the adults have a weekend that we can get away we talked about what to do. It didn’t take much convincing the men to try axe throwing for the first time! After a little adjusting from an amazing coach we threw boys vs girls an had an amazing time. Great staff, nice facility, great time with great friends. Highly recommend to try something new today!!!!“

“Finn's Neighborhood Pub is truly an amazing place to be. The drinks are quite reasonable and the bartenders do a fantastic job on mixed drinks, especially Bloody Mary's. They have great pool tables, darts, skee-ball and karaoke on Tuesdays and live bands on other nights. The owners are so great and the atmosphere is very welcoming and don't be surprised if the staff remembers your name! I highly recommend everyone visit Finn's because it truly is a fun place to be. Cheers!🍻🍸“

“Self service on the beer taps“

“Great hometown bar! The owner came up to me right after I sat down, Introduced himself, and gave me the happy hour specials. Doug is an MHK icon in the bar and restaurant community. He's an amazing host, the prices are great and the atmosphere is perfect!“

“Looovvveee the drinks and rummy bears are one of my favs!“

“Love that it’s off the strip. Great prices, my kind of watering hole. Oh & the owner Dan is an alright guy too.“

“❤️ the Lou! It’s a must stop on game days!“

“Sat at the table next to the open front window area, great view. We had a great waitress who took good care of us and she put up with us quite well. The food was amazing, loved the atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Stopped in for a late lunch and we received excellent service and amazing food! Highly recommended the Asiago club!“

“Heard about this chain from all the films and media online, so had to go on my first visit to the US. It lives up to the rep people give it.

So much choice on the menu, but I was a very hungry man so I went with the full rack of ribs. It was all very tasty and I ate it all, I think the only criticism that I would give is that the mac and cheese that came along with it lacked on flavour a bit. Perhaps a little bit of mature cheese and salt might've elevated it a little more.

Now, I am aware that servers in the US rely on tips so they go above and beyond, however the server we got went a little too overboard, constantly asking if we needed anything and such. Forgot what his name was, but that definitely could've been toned down a bit. It wasn't bothering me all that much, but I could see my dad was getting more and more irritated being interrupted as he was trying to eat.

Oh, I did notice too that the AC vent was dripping on the booth over from us, and a family was seated there. I think maybe that booth should've been closed off since it was actively dripping on the table/seats below.

All in all though, I'd recommend it. Everyone enjoyed their food, and it was overall a good experience.“

“Stopped in for a late lunch and we received excellent service and amazing food! Highly recommended the Asiago club!“

“This is a fun place to hang out with friends! Friendly staff and lots of fun drinks/shots“

“Had a burger, tots and a beer. Burger was exactly as I asked for. Tots were crunchy and fried to perfection. They were really good. I know they’re just frozen Ore-Ida, most likely…but they were better than tots I’ve had most places. Beer was cold.“

“I’ll recommend it because the food was good. The service was terrible. Waited 10 minutes for a waitress to take our drink order then I received my appetizer before my drink. I had no silverware to eat said appetizer with. The waitress wasn’t friendly to add to the dissatisfaction. Maybe she just had a bad day, so I’ll go back. The caramel butter cake was to die for!“

“Great atmosphere if you like a country bar, the 4 pool tables allow for plenty of people to play and there is plenty of outdoor space. Bartenders are awesome and always trying to smile even when overwhelmed with people. The owner does everything he can to be fair if he has to have his bouncers step in and doesnt discriminate on who he has to remove. All in all great place to enjoy a night out. Personal note if your looking for the best mixed drinks in the house ask Tiffany!“
