Finn McCools used to be one of my favorite places in southside, but then it all went terribly wrong for some reason. I would have given this place 4/5 stars prior to the changes and 1/2 after them, so until i figure out if the changes are permanent i will give it 3
I used to love coming down her on a Friday or Saturday around 10 pm. Nice crowd of people not too crowded nor empty. Great drink specials before midnight for beer and mixed drinks, Great atmosphere where you could meet new people or just hang out with your friends. Loved coming down here and laughing at the people who would still get bud lights when a stella or guiness cost the same during their specials.
For whatever reason though this all changed the last two times times i was there. They brought in a DJ, noise level went from like a 4/5 to a +10. Literally you have to scream to be heard place is packed to the brim and the age demographic went from late 20s to 21(probably younger with fake IDs).
This was set up like a cigar bar with nice leather seating towards the back and it was really nice... now it just feels like its trying to be Diesel. Unfortunately for me this is a big turn off and no longer make this a place to start or end the night in Southside.
