My husband and I love going to this authentic, Irish pub. We particularly love the fish and chips. The fish is always so flaky inside and crispy outside. We recently learned that on Tuesdays, you can get the two piece fish and chips for just $10!
The pub itself is absolutely stunning, with Celtic artwork wherever you turn. You can either sit at tables with roomy booths, or grab a barstool and enjoy their lovely bar. My understanding is that the whole pub itself came from Ireland.
Service is also great, with friendly people and prompt delivery.
A great place to share food and drink and build memories, like the Irish love to do.
Having lunch in Venice is a tough choice between finding a place with good ratings and with some sort of parking with out having to Uber from my car to the restaurant.
We settled on Finn McCool's.
We got a couple of burgers and beers.
The waitress had a irish accent not sure if was real or not but sounded cool.
We did the Build a Burger which I always like.
I choose Black Angus Sirloin with Applewood Bacon, Sriracha Aioli, Pepper-Jack cheese on a House Brioche Bun.
My partner got Black Angus Sirloin with Applewood Bacon, Chipotle Aioli, Gruyere cheese, grilled onions served up on toasted Irish Farmhouse Rye.
The fries came in a cool little paper bag.
We washed it down with a mild red beer.
The food was good, the place looks like collage bar a little bit beat up, from the boozed stained cement floor to the mis-matched furniture and dark wood interior gives it personality.
It looks like a cool place to spend St Patrick's day.
Good price, good burgers. Not the shiniest restaurant but it is a good place to go with friends
Great atmosphere, service, and food. Will be coming back for sure
I don’t know what happened to my previous review. But here it goes again. I have eaten here several times, the place is great for a quick stop, or a long winding down of the day w some good food, good cocktails, and great company.
I love Main St in Santa Monica, it’s a wonderful cluster of trendy boutiques, wonderful places to eat or be entertained, like this one right here.
Even the lunch crowd is fun as hell, several times I stopped by for lunch, and had a great time chatting w the staff or various customers.
You will love it here 💯❤️🙏.
Been here three times in the last week as I am here on business and will probably go one more time. Awesome service, great food and Big TVs everywhere. Came for NBA playoffs and the big Canelo/Jacobs fight, I even got lucky and came with co-workers and we participated in their fun trivia night competition. Great crowd and friendly, safe scene. My favorite is the Fried Chicken sandwich with steak fries. Highly recommend this place!!!!
Out on our last night on town with friends. Great atmosphere, excellent food options for everyone. I loved being able to get a smaller portion of some Irish classics. Kevin our waiter was attentive and knowledge. I would definitely eat here again. Wheelchair accessible.
Great place to go if you feel like eating some good pub food at a cool, old-timey-style bar. Lots of wood and brass, red velvet curtains, a few TVs, but not too many, and they were playing a good roots blues playlist.
All in all a very pleasant experience, with nice wait staff. I had the chicken club with fries, and it hot the spot. I didn't partake, because it was the middle of the afternoon, but I saw a very nice scotch selection as well.
My wife and I ate there two nights in a row. We had the chicken sandwich and the Reubens. Both were delicious. We aren't big eaters and one sandwich with fries and a drink would just about fill up any avg person.
They had live music later in the evening which was nice as well.
Listen. This place is pretty weathered. I'm not saying that is bad, but it could sure use a fresh coat of laquor on pretty much everything. Not the employees though! They are fine and in no need of fresh paint. If I had to pick, my favorite thing about this establishment would be the patrons. They are friendly and helpful, and you are sure to find yourself next to a genial local with a handful of decent recommendations for your time in Santa Monica.
Good little pub with really fast service. Would be 5 but we found the prices were a little high relative to nearby places. We went at happy hour but no one mentioned which drinks were part of it so make sure you ask if you want to take advantage.
Awesome thick-cut fries!
And comforting mac & cheese. Nice dishes. Selections of alcohol and beers available, relaxed vibe-for the most part, crowed on the weekends. Obviously.
Decent Irish bar. Good craic. Standard Santa Monica prices. I heard it used to have a great trad session going on but the lady running the place didn't keep it going. Pity.
We dropped by for lunch and loved the build your own burger and it also had a nice vibe and if you're Irish you'll also like it as it's not tacky like most places claiming to be an Irish bar. Two thumbs up from an Irishman.
