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! The food is paid separately, so be ready for that. The staff is amazing and spot on with recommendations and friendly. We became part of the local crowd in a week’s time. Absolutely will make this place a priority when we have a return trip. And, definitely try their iced coffee and a hot toddy.

Staff was hustling, safety was priority. Notre Dame won, fish n chips were on point. Kids were happy- what else is life? Go to there.

Great outdoor covered shade tables spaced out. Reasonable priced drinks and food. Fun time watching the Spurs! And then the Saints with friends and family!

Love this place... the atmosphere is fantastic... however the food is just OK, which is why Finns didnt get 4 stars.Other than that this is a must visit in NOLA!

Great neighborhood spot that Ive been going to for years. They have some of the best pub trivia in the city (pre-COVID). They also have a great kitchen and have changed their bar license to a restaurant license to accommodate Phase 2 pandemic rules. Its great to have them back!

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. The beers were cold, tasty, inexpensive and readily accessible. The mens room just off the side of the bar was a major convenience as well. I met a local rugby star named Jerry who was kind enough to make me welcome along with John who was a City supporter. Thank you Finn for having a venue even though my team didnt prevail on this day because of the complicity of the referees.

Weekend in New Orleans? Worried that you might miss your favorite sports game? Dont worry, head to Finn McCools. We wanted to watch the Ireland rugby game at 9am and were worried that it might not be open so early but no fear, they open for all the big games, whatever time of day!Fantastic pub, great atmosphere, lovely staff, good food and drink. Plus to top it all, its an Irish bar thats actually run by Irish peoople! Superb place, look it up on your next visit!

Authentic neighborhood bar in Mid-City with one of the best vibes! Known as a local hangout for soccer and sports, they make a good Bloody Mary as well. Pub grub out the back, good for snacks like jalapeños poppers and cheese fries. Prices are very reasonable for drafts and drinks.

Great pub. Super staff, great selection of drinks, and good pub grub.

Great neighborhood bar. Can get pretty rowdy during soccer matches and trivia (on Mondays), but most of the time the picnic table outdoor seating is a great spot to hang out with friends over a few drinks. My favorite part of Finns though, is the ability to consume your Irish coffee three different ways: regular, iced, or frozen.

I love the way the bar is set up. The location was amazing and easy to find. The food was amazing. The place to be.

Cool Irish Pub in the Mid-City area. Best soccer bar in New Orleans.

Drinks are awesome, atmosphere is awesome. Great bartenders. Fast service. Lots of TVs to watch games, jukebox, pool table. Great place to relax.

Love the atmosphere, good service, good at social distancing

Best bar staff in a bar culture city. 10/10

Perfect place to watch a game, obviously you don’t needs a lot of things to enjoy that kind of moment, but this is the spot if you’re looking for one

Always a wonderful time. Marie makes the best drinks, and the entire vibe is all about welcoming.

Nice place to watch a saints game

Love this divy Irish themed place. Did some fresh karaoke Halloween weekend. Super fun great bar. Would recommend

Finn McCools 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 theres a major soccer game). They also have several specialty cocktails, like a frozen Irish coffee to escape the heat. They also sport a decent food menu, the Brussels sprouts win me over every time.

Nice selection of micro and macro beers at reasonable prices, plenty of TVs (staff is even amenable to west coast football in the corners during LSU games) and surprisingly good bar food! My friends and I had a great first visit and will be back for many more. The food really stood out to us! The kitchen is being run by the Wolfhund and while the alligator sausage was average, the salmon fries and accompanying sauce were outstanding!

Consistently good service in a nice setting. Solid out door tables to read and enjoy a beer. If you’re in the area you should stop by.

What a great place! Great service, awesome breakfast burrito. Rugby match on big tv and six more TVs with soccer. I will be back.

Always a great bar especially for Soccer games. Bar is cleaner and drinks are fresher than ever while they increased the natural pub ambiance. I always feel at home when I go. Patrons and staff are great. Perfect place for early drinks, having fun for the night, or a night cap. When in doubt head to Finns you will not be disappointed.

Good food, Good fun with friends

Came to watch women’s World Cup. Crowded but worth it. Had several TVs set up. Lots of people rocking their team spirit. Lively and fun.

Great bar that attracts all sorts of people from all over. Its a good place to watch a game and grab a pint. They know how to poor a Guinness. The food is great for bar food.

Great place to watch sports. Inexpensive and great local people to talk to.

The bartenders here are professionals. They know how to pour a proper pint of Guinness and because of that, it tastes better than at places that dont. An absolute institution.

Finns is an amazing pub run by a lovely Irish couple. The staff are very attentive and your never left waiting for a drink. The food is excellent in the restaurant, I especially loved the truffle fries, egg rolls and burger - delicious!! Its the perfect place to go to see sports games. My husband and I are from Ireland and we loved the atmosphere and friendly people that we met when we visited on our holiday. A must see if your in New Orleans and you want a really good night out away from the quarter

Fun local Irish pub. Darts for fun, a nice outdoor seating area and delicious food! The fries... yummy!

Im never disappointed at Finn McCools! I always luck out and get a table outside with friends when the weather is nice. The staff is always very friendly, and the crowd is usually very cozy to be around. Its an all around great place to make memories with old friends and make new friends alike.

This place is like a 2nd home for so many people. Love it!

Great atmosphere, bartenders are attentive and friendly. Food was delicious. My husband does not like salmon and even he loved the salmon fries. Buffalo wings were delicious. Gobbled it up! Will be back!!!

The Irish coffee daiquiris are pretty tasty. You can bring your dog outside but not inside. Good staff interesting people.

Great local place. Cozy atmosphere! Prices are great and the service was outstanding!

Finn McCool’s is a really fun spot in the Mid City area of Nola. Any sporting event brings a crowd, especially for soccer but there’s always fun to be had here no matter what is going on. If you are from out of town, looking for a soccer, NHL or another sporting event that likely won’t be on local tv here, give them a call. Chances are they will have it. This is THE spot for St Patrick’s Day/weekend.

It Was my first time there it was nice place

Ive only ventured into the pub or if you prefer bar scene for the first time in the last month, but like anything I venture into I like to get a feel for it all. I want to go to every pub and experience what they all have to offer. My latest stop has been at Finn McCools and the short version is that it is an exceptional establishment.The long version is about as long as the bar is at Finns which is to say you dont expect itll ever end until it does. From the start Finn McCools is by far the single largest pub Ive been to and once you step inside youre greeted by a very rustic yet modern aesthetic, a 70 flatscreen (or bigger), the seemingly endless bar, comfortable seating, and so far the friendliest warmest bartenders Ive met yet. Initial impressions are otherworldly from the start.My primary purpose of being at Finns though is the beer. So whats on tap? A few beers brewed by Guiness including the classic stout as well, a few Indian Pale Ales, a great porter, a lager or two, and one or two other things that escape me. Admittingly it isnt the widest selection of draft beer but they have some great options on tap and theyre very very good at pouring a 16oz pint of Guiness. Did I mention the prices? $5 to $8 per 16oz. Exceptional prices.If that isnt enough to convince you Finn McCools also has food. Very good food. Criminally good for it being pub food.What else is there to do beside drink, eat, and watch sports on TV? Play pool. Its a large place and large spaces have plenty of room for plenty of pool tables. You dont like pool? Play darts. Dont like darts? Drink, eat watch sports, or play pool. A few places have as many activities, but most do not.In the end all I could personally ask more of from Finn McCools would be more great beer on tap. As much as I like an original Guiness there are a few tasty stouts they brew that could also be served. If not Guiness there are numerous stouts and porters that would also fit right at home. Regardless Finn McCools has sufficient draft beer and overall is an exceptional place to stop for a drink or a good bit of fun.

Love the ambience and local service... Food was also great!

Awesome bartenders. Good selection of beer. Fish and chips was great, cheap for the amount of food! Very casual hangout spot

Always a great place to catch a game. Great beer/cocktail prices, decent food, and friendly bartenders (most of the time). Outdoor seating also.

Fantastic. Hidden gem. If you want to eat where the locals eat this place is a local secret but word is getting out!

The food was so amazing. Best place so far that i have had. Will be back.

It can get VERY busy during big events like fights and soccer games, but otherwise good food, good drinks, reasonable prices.

Great bar with an excellent choice of drinks at good prices, complete with pool table and darts. Also shows lots of football (or soccer I should say) with plenty of tv screens. As a Chelsea fan visiting New Orleans this was perfect!

I havent been there in 20 years and that is just like I remembered the Guinness is fresh and nice and cold

Great little neighbourhood sports pub with several TVs at the bar where they will show hockey, basketball, etc. simultaneously. Very fun and friendly crowd. Servers are competent and kind.

Good fish and chips. Too crowded with soccer freaks during games. Bloody Marys are pretty good too. Love the Buffet during Saints games. Get there early!

Great drinks, friendly atmosphere. Try the frozen Irish coffee, its one of my favorites

It’s a great atmosphere and they have good drinks at good prices. I would not eat here though- we tried to order Brussels sprouts, which they told us they were out of. Then we ordered chicken wings and it took them 5 minutes to tell us they were out of those as well. Then we did not get a refund even when our backup order was worth less than the chicken wings. In the end, all of the food they were able to serve us was bad.

I gave 4 stars for my Irish coffee. This place is small and there is no parking. Do yourself favor and get a Lyft.

Great atmosphere. Good screens. Nice friendly service

We’re visiting from Austin, TX, and LOVED finding McCool’s Pub!! FANTASTIC drink selection, great food via Wolfhound, and the team here is amazing! Caroline is professional, fun, and friendly, and had on-point recommendations for local brews!

Great local pub with all of the soccer games on. Beer selection is solid and the staff is always friendly. Has a great all around atmosphere.

This is the place to watch soccer and grab a pint. Their craft cocktails are fantastic. The owners, management, and staff are best in class. Often considered the best Irosh Pub in the US, this neighborhood bar is a favorite for locals and tourists lucky enough to find this gem in MidCity. Probably the best price and served Guiness in the city, incredible drink specials, Pub Trivia on Monday nights, and everything to watch from the Saints and LSU Tigers to every league of soccer, rugby, etc. Great little pub restaurant attached where you can get bar food like Fish n Chips, burgers, and even brussel sprouts. Cannot say enough good things about Finns...its my absolut favorite place. COYS!

Friendly staff. great support for soccer fans

Vacationing in New Orlean! We stayed at an Air BNB about a block away. What a fun, clean place to go for some beer and fun. The kitchen made great food and their is a large selection of beers.. from your favorite Ales to fun IPA’s, you can’t go wrong stopping in here. Personally recommend the Ghost IPA. You can catch a football game or even try playing some pool... or beating three of their league players before a tournament starts!

Best place in NOLA to watch EPL games.

Super fast service, a great variety to pick from, and I had a wonderful time watching soccer games on the many screens (there were about 5 different games on). There were so many people of different nationalities and it was great fun hearing spontaneous cheers burst out from different areas of the bar in a completely yet comfortably navigable packed house. I found it an exciting experience and have returned many times because the the place has so much to offer. Outdoor seating, good food, the neighborhood vibe and excellent service every time impress me. Parking is on the street, but it is usually available fairly nearby. What a fun pub!

Really nice, quaint pub. I went there to watch NUFC v Man U when I stayed in New Orleans. The food is pretty good and the liquor choice is huge.Bar staff are very polite and helpful.Atmosphere was great, if you are stuck for where to watch the football when away from home, this is the place for you.If youre just looking for a decent place to drink, again, you cant go wrong here.

This is a great sort of divey pub with a pretty good offering on tap. They broadcast the local rugby games too which is a fun watch and their kitchen offers a nice array of grub.

Watched the Rugby World Cup at Finn McCools Irish Pub. Thank you for your hospitality.

Great beer selection. Chill atmosphere. Great place for meeting friends

Great place to relax with friends after a hardass week at work

Bar to watch all soccer at in New Orleans. Went here to catch Manchester United play. Good food and drinks. Staff were great.

If you like bars with good food, billiards, darts, trivia on Mondays, lots of TV for sports (especially EPL), indoor and outdoor seating, and Irish-oriented decor, staff, and style, then this is the bar for you. I love this place.

Cool little sports bar with a quick order menu for dining in or pick up, the wings are sweet and hot! Definitely a solid mix of local beer either bottle or draft, and the iced irish coffee is a fantastic cocktail when its hot or cold out. Ill be back the next time Im in the area.

Best Irish pub in NOLA. I have a painting of the place hanging on my wall. Go there!

I only wish there was a place like this near where I live. Came here during vacation to watch a soccer game and was greeted warmly. Bartender was on top of his game and his Bloody Marys were the best Id had in New Orleans. 10/10 would visit again.

The bar food is amazing. I like the chicken sandwiches the best. So good! The kitchen closes at 11pm

Just a great wee place to watch fitba, 7-12 dollars ( I think) from FQ, central NOLA, the mix o glaswegies/embra/english/irish/even the occasional American( the most polite ones always)Hoops is spot on, small but v v welcoming bunch o tims. Check them oot on FB.And smoking barmaid

Finns is a great neighborhood bar and the absolute best place to watch world cup matches. The crowd is always great. Lots of cheering for respective teams and a little small k talk between fans, but all in good fun. Theres also delicious food and the bar is a great neighbor

Great pub, excellent Guinness and a good atmosphere. Worth a visit.

The nachos are good and the fried chicken. Season fries are also a good addition.

Always a wonderful time. Marie makes the best drinks, and the entire vibe is all about welcoming.

Somebody told me Ill able to eat at this place, turned they dont have descent food, the fish and chips was below everage

The best Irish pub in New Orleans with a genuine bar, fantastic service, and Irish staff and owners. Food adjacent is good, too.

The kitchen changes every six months and has ranged from good to bad. Otherwise its a good spot for a beer.

Great Irish pub, staff and atmosphere are top class. Great place to watch sport.

Staff are great, attentive and chill vibe...crowd isnt quite my speed but its a cool place to grab a drink and catch some soccer

A happy & welcoming place to catch a game of any sort. Go early & enjoy the Irish Coffee then stay for lunch. Screens inside & out.

Great beer selection along with a great liquor program. Staff is super friendly and the food is good too. Great place for locals and tourists alike. I visit McCools every time Im in town.

Friendly atmosphere along with great spirits and people from all around, :)

Saddest 13 dollars fish and chips Ive ever seen... Im not kidding 3 pieces of fish the size of my pinky but nice amount of fries.

Laid back neighborhood bar with plenty of outside tables and chairs, bartenders are very attentive and friendly, plenty of TVs for sports games.

One of the top 10 Irish Pubs in the United States for a reason; great neighborhood establishment, excellent Guinness pours, good place to follow football, and awesome food.

Fun pub in a quiet neighborhood. Definitely a locals hangout . . . we popped in for a drink on a Tuesday after visiting Dooky Chase for lunch, and were surprised that the place was filling up to watch 2 big soccer matches. A fun and raucous crowd, and the Guniess was flowing! Good service, friendly atmosphere. Well be back on a return visit to New Orleans....

Great neighborhood bar... This is why i love midcity

A very relaxed hangout for the rugby crowd. Friendly staff and good food

Great atmosphere and staff.

Well done pub. Great neighborhood spot to watch football (Soccer). Great food served by separate kitchen!

Best Guinness in Louisiana... as far as I know. Dont miss the St. Paddys Day block party.

Great neighborhood bar and close to home

Awesome Irish pub. Beth is amazing

Watched Liverpool game and the atmosphere was amazing.

Always a great spot for a pint. Good food too. Lots TVs for most sporting events. Friendly staff.

Best Pub/Bar in New Orleans! Amazing.

Great place to see the rugby

If youre into premier league soccer, this is the place to watch the game.
