While EpiCentre can be a little crazy on some evenings, filled with youngins poppin' their collars and drinking entirely too much, BlackFinn has always been a solid stop for me.
I've been here a few times for drinks with friends (not super late into the evening, mind you) and once for lunch. Both visits I enjoyed great service, a fun & vibrant atmosphere and limited engagements with 22 year old party kids. A few things to note...
1) The space itself is great. I haven't made my way upstairs yet, but I've heard it can be a fun time. Downstairs is more akin to a pub atmosphere...plenty of TVs, booths and high tops to grab a seat. This space can get pretty crowded when a popular game is on, so just be patient and polite. Or go somewhere else.
2) Their fries are goooooood. Really good. Especially after a few bevvies.
3) When I popped by for lunch, I had the roasted veggie pizza. Damn, Gina! It was super flavorful, generous in portion and filling. I would absolutely go back just for that reason alone.
Keep an eye out for drink & food specials as well as plenty of event nights here. I hear they are offering a champagne special for ladies coming up in April?! Yes please. Bubbles. Now.
