As a Manchester City fan I learned this was the place to watch my club in New Orleans. Ironically, it is the preferred supporters bar for all teams particularly rugby. Regardless, they put the game on the main screen and added volume for my enjoyment....Read More

The Air BNB that we rented was literally a block away from this Pub. It is definitely a local spot, so if you aren’t in to hanging out with the locals, you’re better off somewhere else. The staff, the food, the drinks were all amazing!...Read More

Nice Irish pub with food and lots of outdoor seating. Try the Scotch egg (almost runny in the muffle like I enjoy it). The Brussels sprouts were surprisingly delicious and Reuben were great too.Come on Monday night for the pub quiz!

Neighborhood pub with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.Full menu with Irish and American style options. Food is great, but a little pricey.Draws large crowds for soccer matches.

Finn McCool's is one of my favorite places in the city. Not only do they know how to pour a Guinness properly, but the ambiance is always chill (except if there's a major soccer game). They also have several specialty cocktails, like a frozen Irish...Read More

Sean Kennedy current owner is great.Keith current GM, unfortunately, doesn't take long time regulars in consideration when there's an issue with one of the newer bartenders. Check your bill for additional charges by a female bartender. She also likes to hold credit cards overnight,...Read More

This is the best pub in Mid City, no scratch that in New Orleans... You know what, it's the best pub in Louisiana and quite possibly America (that I've been to). Finn McCool's isn't a "bar" that calls itself a pub, it's a PUB, the...Read More

Great place to watch a soccer match, especially if it's early (when they'll probably be the only place open and showing your game). Expect to see a lot more fans of the more recently attractive English teams here (e.g. ManU, Arsenal, Chelsea). They also have...Read More
