Finn’s Irish Restaurant & Tavern

Food used to be amazing, then owners were changed. It's not like how it used to be.

Finn’s Irish Restaurant delivers a full five-star experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is electric, especially with the incredible live band setting the perfect authentic pub vibe. The service was top-notch—fast, friendly, and attentive—and the food was absolutely delicious, rich, and comforting.

Went in last minute. No one was around. Realized we had to go upstairs, again no one to greet us. Finally got the attention of a guy that was there working on the restaurant. The young waiter male then sat us, we were the only customers there. Menu was very confusing. We did order. My husband got his beer fairly quickly 10 minutes I waited a little longer for my sweet tea. My husband ordered fish and chips, I ordered a half a sandwich with salad combo. Waited close to an hour for the food. My husband did get a refill on his beer during the wait, I did not get a refill on my sweet tea until after my meal was almost done. My drink sat empty for well over an hour. Food wasn't very good and the fish was burnt. The bill was over $65(not including top) for 2 people on a Sunday afternoon. Won't be going back

We waited over 30 mins for 1st apps, they came put burnt and def not able to eat, old oil on fryers…Server knowledge on drinks/spirits and food menu was null, they were 86 on a few items she didnt know about, we Sent another order of apps ;those were fine, meatballs and crostinis… then ordered a filet M/R…Came out M/W-WD… not trying to be a Karen but the Scallops were so gooey that you can tell they left them on the flat top way too long… so disappointed since it was our first time… never again

Just good. Love the atmosphere!

Saw live music here. Great bar and I hear the food is great as well. Check them out.

Very good, everything

Recommended dishes: Scotch Eggs, Irish Cottage Pie

Food is great, but you are going to wait for it, so don’t come hungry, you will become hungry during your wait. Service was okay but many times drinks remained empty with no servers in sight and several food items were missing and took forever to come when prompted. Atmosphere is pretty good, playlist was nice but was spotty. Overall, would go back, just adjusting my expectation on wait time.

We were taxed on using a credit card, sales tax, county tax, and liquor tax as well.
The service was terrible. The waitress raced around so quickly (dressed inappropriately) The table wanted another round of drinks, she couldn’t wait long enough to hear. It took forever to get appetizers and dinner.
First time going back after a few years…thought we would try it again!

Really great food, excellent drinks ALL in the coolest old historical building. The wings are superior to BWW. Wednesday night has live music on the bar area. Quiet in the dining areas. Honestly, it's a great go to restaurant for my husband and me.

Fun trivia

The soup my wife and I had was cold and tasteless..We each had a different soups and I would not give it to a starving individual. Two soups and a cocktail was $70. Eat at your own risk. What a historic landmark this house is to be such a let down. I lived in Knoxville my whole life and seen this home from Hawk Eyes to Baker Peters. I see why other restaurants had a wait on Saturday evening and this one was not busy, yet took 30 minutes for two cold soups that were less than sub par.
