Just your regular 'ol bar. Nothing special! But come out for 2 for 1 drink specials during happy hour.

What they call a Ruben sandwich was rubbish! The worst sandwich I ever had. Drinks were ok, but served without a napkin or coaster.

Horrible service. The waitresses are semi-asleep and hung over. Kind of a downer when we get there hyped up to drink and your waitress asks you if you are sure you want to drink,?!?!?!? Definitely not the place to be if you are in party mode. But!!!!! Two for one drink deal, so if you don't mind half drunk waitresses and you are there to get more for your money. This is the place for you.

The service here was really nice, also I liked how the employee's greated me with a smile. I saw they have this huge beer dispenser they use on Sunday's they told me for 18$ which is pretty good. They have daily 4 dollar beer specials, pool tables, a juke box, and plenty of tv's to keep you busy and entertained. The reason why I gave it a 3 is because it just feels outdated inside. The TV's are too small, everything just feels old. It feels as if the place needs some remodeling. Everything else in lincoln road has been stepping their game up and this place should too.

I have been to the other Finnegan locations and this was the first time at this location. We got there at 6:58 PM. Our waitress was amazing and got all of us in for happy hour with two drinks each. The drinks kept coming and the fried food was quite tasty. I have had food at the other locations and was not very good. We only got appetizers but they were done right. The atmosphere on Lincoln Road is always fun and it continued into Finnegan's. Highly recommended for a great happy hour!

Definitely pass. Although it is one of the very few Irish spots around, I would skip it. Nothing Irish about it. The corn beef is far from the expectations I had..service was below average. The guy in the restroom that thought I was incapable of turning the faucet on and felt the need to do it for me (looking for a tip in doing so) was in for a rude awakening. Only positive was the skittles mixed drink, very tasty. PASS.

Awesome Jukebox! Right on Lincoln Mall Rd this place has the best jukebox. No filters on this bad boy so you can hear all your favorite songs uncensored. The sound was high too which I like. Beyond that I just had a couple cold beers and relaxed. Good spot. Remember to tell them Dan sent you and Stay hungry!

I went to Finnegan's road with a group of college friends to watch our alma mater's basketball game during a reunion weekend, and we all agreed that we wouldn't go back. The food was mediocre at best (even for bar food), and sadly, this was the least bad part of the total experience. The service was horrific, the TV audio was completely busted, there was a persistent rancid cleaning solution smell lingering in the air, and the bathrooms were disgusting. There was also a men's room attendant working for tips at 330pm - seriously?! All of this said, the most hilarious moment of our adventure was when (before we had even ordered), the waitress asked us if we "really needed" our six menus. We gave up all but two and shared. There were a total of six other people in the entire establishment at this point. We counted. For a location in the Lincoln Road Mall, it was just so bad. It's very likely that you'd get a better crappy Irish bar experience pretty much anywhere else.

First time here, service is friendly, our waitress didn't even bother us like most places we go to, polite and proactive, I hate the fact the music won't let us listen to the game and the place next door is blasting Spanish music so both places combine make it hard to enjoy the game, we ordered the chicken wrap and chicken sandwich both were goods, the French fries were delicious, fresh and crunchy!!! Giving 2 stars because of the ambiance. Jessica was awesome.

$19 for an LIT this place is a joke. How can a regular mixed drink be $10? But a LIT $19 never going back watered down drinks as well. Terrible

The waiters are confused and the food was overpriced and nasty. The nachos had microwaved chicken, no salsa or veggies and over processed canned cheese for $14. Don't eat here it was the worst.

Open late cheapest drinks on Lincoln (dont expect it to be too cheap) and did i mention Open Late? their pours are pretty standard. Nothing to exceptional about the place. i wanted a place that had shots for under $15 and that was open late. it fit the bill

One word...shabby. This place is terrible. The food is a low quality with horrible prep. The servers are lazy with an i don't give a hoot attitude ... "I didn't make it"was the response to a question about a sloppily made rueben sandwich. Skip this place.

Saturday, OCT 12: I'm a local. So, check this out. I go in on Saturday around 5pm. Sign reads "happy hour 4-7 ... 2x1 beers" (see pic attached) After I ordered another round, I confirmed with the server the 2x1. She says "no, that's for Monday thru Friday only..." She then goes in quickly and comes out even quicker to wipe the sign clean. I asked for the manager three times. This requests were ignored. I was, though, happy with the server's quality of work and did not want to cause a scene, as I saw the server taking it rather personal. I'm a local and I generally enjoy this bar. However, what went on this time is unacceptable, even for Miami. Totally see tourists falling for this, but I don't think this is good or honest practice. I will stop by later today and ask for the manager again. More soon. Good spot for football / beer on Sunday. **************************************************Â******** UPDATE: Sunday, OCT 13 Around 2.15PM, I went in and asked for the manager. Manager's name not relevant. My argument, after explaining the experience the day before, was to explain to the manager that there were a couple of options available at this stage: Partial refund or any other gesture of goodwill; or I would report this incident. Perhaps it sounded like a threat, now that I think about it. Manager checked with the server in front of me (in Spanish), while it was admitted that the request for a manager had been ignored at the time, after the server failed to truly understand what it was going on. Manager then explained that it was the "other side of the sign that was meant to be read by the public", not the side that was facing me and anyone walking to the venue on Michigan Ave, headed northbound. Really? There was no apology offered and to my surprise, the manager also took this complaint in a very personal manner, and basically said that they had enough customers and was not too concerned to lose me as a customer. (I'm paraphrasing here) For the most part, the manager was yelling at me and employed a very argumentative tone, even interrupting me. (Impressive) Resolution: None from Finnegan's.

In one sentence- the worst food ive eaten in Miami. Horrible service also. Went here to watch a heat game and suffered through the worst chicken wings ive ever had. You would think a bar playing sports on all the tv's would have some decent finger foods but you would be wrong. Place sucks, ill never go back.

Alex R.
1 star is too much for this place! I figured Lincoln Road must be decent. No way! I ordered wings and French fries and I've had frozen wings in a bag at home way better than these double breaded ,hard , crusty , super salty wings with no flavor. I asked for ranch and got packaged Tatar sauce. If you come here order bottled beer only and go away quick! Oh and service sucked...

I've never eaten at Finnegan's, but something tells me that the food is likely reminiscent of the kind served at most other sport's bars with a name alluding to the Emerald Isle. It's probably unfair of me to say that, to assume little difference between Finnegan's and some other run of the mill "pub," but that's just the impression I get. Inside, you get pool tables, a bar that stretches across the length of the establishment, a digital jukebox, and an attendant in the bathroom. I hate bathroom attendants. Absolutely hate them. And it's not that I'm opposed to someone making an honest living. It's more that I find it mildly offensive to pay someone to wash MY OWN HANDS. I can't be alone in feeling this way. Moreover, the bathroom attendant, in my opinion, just doesn't jive with a place that's meant to be somewhat divey. Am I wrong in thinking this? Wouldn't you think that a place featuring a guy in the bathroom with all sorts of breath fresheners and colognes would more fittingly toe the train tracks on the more affluent side of town? I mean, have you ever been at a pub or bar or whatever and said to yourself, "You know what'd make this better? A spritz of Cool Water." That just flies in the face of what a pub is supposed to be! I don't know. I obviously have very strong feelings concerning the matter. I just feel that a bathroom attendant at a pub/dive is akin to a bathroom attendant at a strip club. Really, who are you trying to fool? Everyone else or yourself? Wow. What a tangent. Where Finnegan's succeeds is in its outdoor seating, but really, that can be said about pretty much any and every other bar/restaurant on Lincoln Road. But Finnegan's also kind of fails in this regard in that the service outside is painfully slow. So in summation: lose the dude in the bathroom and focus your efforts on accommodating the folks outside a little more adeptly. Finnegan's has a fairly solid foundation upon which to build. I'm just not sure what's taking so long for them to do so.

Horrendous food. Very scary. They have a dip frier and everything goes here. Worst buffalo chicken sandwich I have ever had in my life. Servers are beyond rude. Place is super dirty. Avoid at all cost.

Here we go again! Went after a year of staying away and continue to get lipstick stained glasses. Also, during 2 for 1 happy hour, we were forced to have the 2 drinks on the table at one time...makes for a second warm beer. Last but not least....lose the men's bathroom attendant. He sits in there singing and his table takes up half the bathroom space. This isn't the Ritz, no attendant needed!!!

Ordered the chicken buffalo salad and it came in a plastic container. The salad looked like a frozen dinner. Also, I saw the bartender put her finger in someone's beer just before she gave it to the customer. Not good!

I may have met the angriest woman in South Beach. What can I say? I work fast. My group and I settled in for a drink or four but I never felt very comfortable. Between the waitress forgetting orders ("Reeed Striiippppeeee") and just plain not giving a damn, I thought I would take my chances inside and go straight to the source: the bartender. Our repartee went a little like this: Her: "What?!!" Me: "(gulp) Um, hi. Could I get a Red Stripe?" Her: glares Me: nervously smiles Her: *slams things around* *banging* *thrashing* *opens up beer* *slams it on bar* "$8!" Me: "Are you sure? It was only $6.50 outside (which is still too much for a d*mn Red Stripe)." Her : "$8!!" *squint* Me: (evidently this lady needs to know how I roll) "[redacted in case children are reading]!!!11!!!11!" Her: "Gimme the money ($6.50)!" Me: *counts out exactly $6.50* Her: *mutters something mean* Me: Walks out of bar, likely, never to return. I realize people have off days but for real for real? No. Don't treat customers like that.

We went to this place on Monday, st patty's day, because we remembered they had happy hr mon-fri. We sat and received a less than friendly welcome. As we're ordering, we find out they're not having happy hr because it's st patty's. Alright, annoying but understandable. We order the full priced drinks, only for them to come watered down, half full, in shitty plastic cups, and to top it off, all brought to us by an unfriendly, and rude waitress. Never coming back.

It's the only Irish joint around so it's not like they are motivated to be the best they can be. Bartenders are really nice. Wings aren't bad. I could do with some more rock on the jukebox vs rap but what can you do? Pretty pricey for an Irish pub though. Nearly $30 for two beers and a plate of wings. I'd expect them to be magical wings for that price!

Went to Finnegan's Road for lunch with my family, who were in town visiting. The waitress did not write down the order so only some of the food came out together. One of us waited a half an hour for hers to come out because the waitress forgot to put it in. When my husband's turkey wrap came out, it literally had one slice of turkey on it. ALL lettuce. Also, no mayo or mustard on it and none of these condiments were on the table. The only thing good were the bloody marys. I would not recommend this place for their food or service. Overpriced.

Living in Miami all my life, I'm very well aware of the fact that some places water down their alcohol and it doesn't really bother me too much, but this was ridiculous. We ordered our first round of Grey Goose and RedBull and noticed it was pretty weak, so I ordered the next round and asked her not to add the RedBull. Took a sip of what was supposed to be "straight" vodka and I would say that it was about 90% water. On the bright side, the waitress was very courteous and attentive. I know its not her fault what the bar does, so I still left her a good tip but will definitely never return to this place again. Come on Finnegan's, you guys are already ripping us off when you water it down, don't be that greedy!!

The Guiness here needs some work, the lines are quite dirty hence the flavor is not what it is supposed to be.

Walked over here after leaving Ocean Drive and it definitely reminded me of a New York City bar so it was fine by me. The drinks were not overly priced so no complaints about that either. The crowd was decent, a few couples playing pool and the bar was not packed with drunk and crazed tourists. We were able to get a seat at the bar and enjoy the rest of our evening to the jukebox music being played in the background.

Watched the Pats win the 2011-2012 AFC Championship Game here and that was 5 stars. Sat outside on Lincoln Road, three tv sets side by side so great view at all times, crowd was good, etc. The food was really cheap as well (for Lincoln Road or South Beach in general). I got chicken fingers and fries and they were ok - nothing great or special but just fine for a cheap bite - I would have paid twenty bucks for a bite to eat with that special space to watch that game. The service was a little slow but they were busy - and friendly. They served these really tall coors light mini kegs at the tables too which seemed like a lot of fun. I would recommend this place to watch a game. If you drink enough I'm sure the food would turn into something fantastic too! I originally rated this place four stars because it's really not much beyond that (might be a stretch), but I gave them five stars because they did NOT automatically add a tip to my check - so I tipped them more than the standard 20% that other bars usually tack onto the checks. I was really pleased with my (slow) service - I understand it was busy and am very grateful to have had a great experience to watch my home team win the AFC Championship.

The food is bar food and I am not even getting into that. The problem I have is the women's bathroom...leaking sink, handicap stall has NO DOOR (yeah ya heard me) and the only other stall had no toilet paper. Unacceptable. ...very disappointing. Management needs to get on their A Game.

What keeps me going back to this place is the fact that no where else on Lincoln Road offers fast, fresh, & inexpensive food. HOWEVER, the service is terrible. They get away with it because 1. most of Lincoln Road has poor service & 2. it's a tourist attraction & where there are tourist, there are hungry people who will endure the painful/sluggish service. The pulled pork sandwich is good as well as the chicken finger platter. Both with french fries & no more than $10. The pastrami sandwich was good also. Came with a pickle & fries. I wasn't a fan of the coleslaw. They usually run some drink special (so ask about it, or you probably won't find out about it.) You won't see your waitress much either, so ask for everything you may need during your visit at the very beginning.

Jessica P.
Great place to have a beer and people watch but under no circumstance would I order food again. The loaded nacho was 8 chips on a plastic plate with nacho cheese sauce and canned chili. Since I was not going to eat that I ordered a pulled chicken sandwich... again so disappointed. The chicken was not pulled it was barely cut and strange in color considering the BBQ sauce was in a to-go container on the side the chicken shouldn't have been pink. I had low expectations coming here but I thought it was hard to mess up frozen bar food. Boy was I proven wrong.

Lia P.
Yuck people smoke in here. Is that allowed? I thought when food was served you can't do that. Either way it was nasty. Only went there to watch a little bit of football and have a drink. Literally had A drink, some horrible greasy snack and left. Won't be back.

Sunday night. We arrived with a big group of 10-13 girls. Took forever for us to get anyone to pay us any attention. We ended up having to rearrange the tables to seat all of us together. After shifting the tables around in our heels and skirts, one of us had to go find the waitress and ask her to come take our orders. There was maybe about 8 other people in the bar and 2 waitresses. Why did we have to go directly to ask to order drinks?!? Drinks were watered down, too. There are better bars for a Sunday night. We picked the wrong one. Don't make the same mistake and settle for sh*tty service and watered-down drinks.

Alex D.
Would give zero stars if possible. Cons (There are many): The service is aggressive, hostile, lazy, and ill-informed about whats on the menu. About a minute after being seated and shown the menu we were asked to give our orders and asking for a little more time to decide seemed to tick off the waitress. Menu is minute and has about 10 items total. I decided to order a sandwich (adding cheese is a dollar extra) and I got just that, bread and deli meat, no lettuce/tomato/garnishes/etc. The most surprising part was getting our food on small black plastic disposable plates. They cant even be bothered to wash dishes at this place. Food wasn't memorable but thats pretty much due to the fact that you're eating the plainest, ingredient-less sandwich on the planet. Lincoln Road eateries are pretty bad in general but this one might take the cake. Pros: One of the cheaper places on lincoln

This place is only ok for drinking. I don't drink liquor only beer so can't comment on that. I only give it two stars because the beer was cold and had cool music. Other than that, service was terrible. We were taking napkins and utensils from the table next to us because if we waited for the waitress we would never get it. The food is mediocre at best. NOT worth the money. I had the wings and my husband the pulled pork sandwich with fries and cold slaw. Again, mediocre at best. Cole slaw is disgusting. I regretted spending my money there.

Finnegan's is a perfect spot to stop in and have a beer around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Of course, sitting outside on Lincoln is great, but even indoors is good as the doors are always open to let in the light and the breeze! The happy hour specials are good and the staff is friendly enough. Great selection of flavored vodkas! Just don't eat here! Ugh! If you go next door, you can order an excellent fish sandwich and onion rings from the Polar Bar.

Not my first choice, but I end up here when I'm desperate! Cheezy and touristy... Not my style! I was here last St. Patrick's Day because everything else was ridiculously packed - all I have to say is thank goodness for shots and beer! Those made the visit much more bearable. It's a little harsh, I know, but that's my opinion!

This was our last stop last weekend on date night. I had such a great time! The hostesses and servers were all really nice and friendly. We ended the night with a couple cocktails each, some chicken wings, and we split a pulled pork sandwich while watching the Heat game. Its allot more casual then many of the places you'll find on Lincoln Road which was fine for us we had walked around allot that day so we weren't looking for anything that made us put forth too much effort... a casual sports bar-ish place fit just perfectly into our mindset at the moment. The wings were awesome. Different then normal wings I've had but they were just right. Crunchy and not 'set your face on fire' hot. Actually the pulled pork sandwich wasn't bad either.. It usually goes one of two ways when you order pulled pork in my opinion.. horrible or delicious and I am glad to say that it was delicious. I will likely be back here because I was welcomed so warmly by all of the staff.

Friday night we walked over to Segrefrado on Lincoln for drinks but the wait was 20 minutes. Not to many bars open late in Lincoln so we came over here for drinks to people watch. yet it is a totally different vibe they being at Segrefrado it was cool to people watch, and just be able to relax and drink. I was actually surpirsed how crowded it was outside for such a dive bar.

Sadly we stumbled upon this place by mistake, hoping that it was a real Irish place and lured by the bitter taste of an ice cold Guinness beer. Waitstaff sucks- these guys are focused on nothing - how can you collect a paycheck for such a dismal job, it was certainly reflected on my tip...or lack thereof- The food .... BLAH - Not even worth me wasting more words on this place, nothing to see here... keep walking.

Carla L.
Wow.. no. Just not what it could be. Sure use the fact that its "Lincoln road" as an excuse to serve sub-par food at ridiculously high prices. The chips really were CHIPS .. not a cute reference to the british way of saying 'fries'. The roast beef sandwich was NOT on a hoagie, like they usually are but on a small roll, with such little meat I couldn't believe they were charging us $8 for it. The wings?? FRIED CHICKEN, no sauce. Battered like fried chicken, tasted like fried chicken, because thats what it was. IF you want them hot? Tabasco sauce for you .. Unless you are grabbing a beer and playing pool, skip it.

Josh R.
This place sucked. We walked in because they had a pool table and we wanted a beer. After paying through the nose for a Guiness the unhappy unfriendly bartender didn't even take the time to pour it correctly. The place was dirty, staff was unfriendly, music from the juke box was being blasted through blown speakers so loud all you could hear was distorted bass and rattle...would not go back. Also the pool table was garbage, it looked like someone was doing carpentry work on it there was so much saw dust and filth on it.

Hannah S.
Yeah, I have to agree with Michelle W on this one. Every place on Lincoln Road with prime people watching automatically gets an extra star - because it's totally worth it. There's nothing like sitting out on a Friday or Saturday night and watching the crazies walk by. We stopped in the other night and, predictably, met some such oddballs. :) Haha - but on the upside, we got to play with a cute bulldog. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it's a decent stop for a cocktail on a night spent cruising the beach.

Decent place to grab a drink and snack after work. They give a discount to Lincoln Road workers, which is a plus. Service is kind of slow, and the live music is usually garbage and annoyingly loud. Drinks are very overpriced, just like everywhere on SoBe, but they aren't that bad and they have a decent selection. Food is what you would expect from a bar, nothing spectacular, but it satisfies. The hummus is pretty delicious.

Franky A.
This place is such a dump but I always end up here because of their prime location on Lincoln Road. It's a shame that they don't clean this place up and actually serve quality food and drinks. Oh, yeah at least have a clean bathroom too. By far one of the nastiest bathrooms in all of the Western Hemisphere.

Finnnegan's Two is like the booty call of the bar world, you only come here cos you know it's cheap. Get your "sure thing" swerve on M-F, 4-7, 2-4-1 on everything. Arrive early, arrive late. Come thirsty, leave quenched.

The location of this place is probably the best thing about it. Nice place to have a beer outside with friends and watch the madness go by that is Lincoln Road. The service is hit or miss, sometimes it's quick, sometimes it's slow. Decent restrooms, eat before/after you come. Not much of a food selection here.

If i could give it zero stars i would. We get seated outside as we asked by our server. She doesn't come and take our drink order for about 7 minutes which was weird because there were probably four other tables there. The girl barley spoke english which would be ok but she barley understood what we were ordering. I had to explain we wanted fried mushrooms to start three times. Regardless the mushrooms came with our meals. It took forever to get our beers every time & i just saw the bartender standing around talking most of the time. We ordered wings and fish sandwiches. Nothing special about them, plan but got us full. I had to get up twice to ask our server for stuff because she never checked on us. Plus her ass cheeks were out the whole time. Even hooters has more class. I guess people like bare ass around there food, not sure. Then it took ten minutes to get our check. It was very empty inside and what should have been a 1 hour lunch tops took 2 hours. Very annoying. I'm a local and I'll never go back.

When i went to this place i was so frustrated and disappointed. When i got there the hostess was chit chatting with her friends so i took the liberty of doing her job and sitting my friends and family on one of the tables. Then the waitress comes, sees we have no menus and ask the hostess to please provide us with some. And the hostess loudly states " people think they can sit anywhere." Then proceeds to throw the menus on the table. I was so upset I asked for the manager which was Jason. However Jason took 45 minutes to swing by! He did "hooked" us up with drinks however they really watered them down. The food was overpriced and disgusting. The fries taste like seafood. Like gross! Im sorry first and last time. There are plenty of places to eat on Lincoln Road that are friendlier, more experienced and ran by mature people.

7 dollar decent pour of guinness on lincoln road, not bad. otherwise, its every other o'neills, flannigans, not as bad as a bennigans, you've been to in your own hometown. staff was nicer than most lincoln road establishments, let us rough house and play pool til way way too late.

Finnegan's Two is a good low-key spot to grab a drink and hang out with friends while people-watching on Lincoln Road. The drinks are potent and not too pricey, given the location. The staff is friendly, but service can be a little sparse when it's crowded. The key word at Finnegan's Two is "drink," as it's a bar. There's a limited menu available - but if you want some food with your booze, you're better off elsewhere, such as the Finnegan's on Ocean.

A real rip off! On December 28, in the evening, I ordered a beer and some chicken wings. The place was not very busy, and after 20 minutes, I asked the blonde bartender about the wings, and she apologized about the slow service. A few minutes later, I asked for my check because I had to feed my parking meter. I gave her a $20 bill for a $7.08 check, and she gave me 12 one dollar bills in change which I later counted out after I left the place. It was bad enough for the poor service but to be cheated on the change is the worse. Avoid this place like the plague!

Been here a few times and will probably not be back for a while. Nothing bad but nothing to write home about either. Here's the skinny: Location: Solid. Conveniently located on Lincoln Rd, provides you a good avenue to explore other bars/restaurants. You can park in the Lincoln complex or try and get some street parking. Drink/Food: Full bar, prices are decent for Lincoln Rd and they have a 2 for 1 happy hour. They have a very limited menu. Service: Lags. Getting up from my seat and walking over to the bar is fine if Im by myself but I've had to do this on more than one occasion because of the lack of service. Maybe if Fin 2 was located somewhere else I'd have a different opinion but for now I tend to stay away and visit other spots on Lincoln.

Supposedly an Irish bar, but nobody who works there is Irish, or even a native English speaker for that matter. Always smells like spilled beer and old fryer oil and the service sucks.

Umm... it's called Finnegan's Two and NOT 'Finnegan's Too' like it says in the listing. Personally, I would prefer if they used the roman numeral II, but that's just me. The place has some potential. It's a very casual spot and kind of an alternative to the typical Lincoln Road fanfare. It's pretty much a sports bar with a collegiate feel to it. They have a small raised stage for bands and they're not afraid to crank up the tunes as well as the juke box, which could be a good thing.... or not. Last time I was there the juke box was blaring B-52's 'Love Shack' at 3pm in the afternoon. The bartender went over to the tuner to adjust the volume and I was about to thank her, because I thought she was going to turn it down or maybe even hit the Skip button. Instead she turned the volume UP. YIKES! Very scary. I finished my beer and got the hell outta there. Who needs to hear that song anymore, and louder at that?! : 0

Cool little bar in South Beach. Not a ton of action in there. but i don't really recall the time of night I was there. Stopped in for a quick car bomb. Not nearly enough Guinness to over take the shot I dropped in the glass. That meant no beer bubbling over. That also meant no 2nd drink.

Generally, I'm not a big fan of Finnegan's on the River, so I figured I'd be equally apathetic to the location on Lincoln Rd., but every time I come here I never have a problem. Decent priced drinks and laid back environment. Although it's not my favorite place on Lincoln Road to go for drinks, I will usually stop here when I'm with a fairly large group of girlfriends out on a night on the town.

I've had two experiences with this place, I should have known better than to give it that second chance. I waited to leave this review, knowing that the only words my fingers would tap out would be along the lines of "killkillkillkill" I like sports, and I like bars. I'm Irish by injection, too, so I thought this cool looking little bar on too-hip-for-you Lincoln Road would be great. I've never paid so much to wait so long for the misery of eating stale bread. They say hunger is the best spice. Anything tastes good when you're hungry. Not so. I *still* taste sawdust when I pass the place by. And St. Paddy's day was an experience in misery there. I didn't choose the place, and after an hour, we moved over to the Polar Bar next door. Not after complaining about the horrid service and the fact that the non-english speaking waitress actually refused to take a late-comer's order and didn't give back one of our friend's credit card back. Go to Zeke's. More beers, cheaper, and better service.

Of course we found the "Irish bar" on Lincoln Rd. Don't be fooled, the only thing Irish about this bar was the name. Perfect place to split some average tasting apps, beer buckets, and pregame for the night ahead. My favorite part of my Sunday Funday at this bar was the amount of TV's airing all available games, and the vast amount of different football fan bases represented. The service at the tables is pretty slow and sparse, I would recommend sitting at the bar if you get there early enough.

the first 2 times i came to finnegan's, the experiences weren't good.... i thought i'd give it one last try... today was the 3rd strike, and they're out... let's start by saying that there was a line of people waiting to be seated, and the hostess was nowhere to be found... my friend decided to go inside and ask for some service... they finally pointed us to a table outside, which had yet to be cleaned.... the last people's empty cups and tab were still sitting on the table.... we sat down and waited............................................Â.............. and waited, and waited, and waited............................................Â........and waited some more.... 30 minutes later, my friend got up again, to ask for some service... they finally sent a server, who walked up to the table and asked us what we wanted.... um............ how about a menu? by this point, i was irritated and ready to leave, but my friend convinced me to stay... we ordered chicken tenders, and a clam chowder... 25 minutes later, we were still waiting... they finally brought us our food, which was actually pretty good... we wanted water.... the server was nowhere to be found, so when we finally saw her again, we didn't even ask her to bring us the bill... we just handed her our credit cards.... as we were getting up, a couple stopped to ask us if we were done; they wanted our table.... we advised them to choose another spot... i will not be going back.

This place is as low budget as it gets (presentation wise). Came here on a Saturday night to watch a college football game. Sat outside and ordered a blue moon (served in a plastic cup, but at least served with an orange slice). For my food, I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Fries were fine, the buffalo chicken portion was basically two flattened chicken strips. Reminded me of something you would buy in bulk at a sam's club in the frozen food section. Ketchup is in packets, silverware comes all plastic. Can't see myself coming back.

I'm giving this place 3 stars because at the time it's precisely what I was looking for.... a bar open super late where we could sit outside and shoot the breeze... My beer was cold, the breeze was humid... mission accomplished... so to speak...

Service was alright. Great for people watching, or catching a game on one of the many tv screens (but no large flat screens to view). Full bar, with happy hour specials: 2-for-1 drinks between 4-7 pm weekdays I'm mainly reviewing this place for the BUFFALO WINGS. Yum! There's no sauciness to it, but they are battered and fried, but the flavor is all up in the wings (crust AND the meat itself)! with this spicy heat that just builds on itself... it's tasty, and not messy in the least (good for continue your shopping escapade on Lincoln Rd).

Much attuned to most establishments of South Beach this is a sorry a$$ excuse for an Irish watering hole. Food is horrible and service is even worse - the owners apparently decided it would be a good idea to hire only young eastern european women for bartenders and servers. While sounds nice in theory it is nearly hilarious in practice as these girls have NO idea what they are doing. On my last (very last forever..) visit there about a month ago I had the nerve to sternly ask for my tab from the bartender, after she had ignored me for about 10 minutes while chatting with her friends. Her refusal to accommodate my request was accompanied by "F#ck you Bitch!" which was repeated to me several times in broken English and with much passion that can only be described as a defeated spirit lashing loose... Kudos to the owners and management of this place - I have been to a many Irish pubs in my lifetime as I grew up in Brooklyn and Finnegan's Two is without a doubt the worst one of all time!

I went in here during the day waiting for some friends... I ordered a glass of wine and asked to see the menu. 1st of all, the menu has like 8 things on it. God forbid you ask for silverware, cause I did from the waitress and got this "are you kidding me?" look. When I asked the bartender I got the same look, then was handed some plastic utensils in plastic wrap! Thank god I was at the wrong bar. I went to the one on Ocean where they had a full menu, metal utensils and a bartender with a clue. There are SO many other places to go on Lincoln. Save your time and go somewhere worth it.

This place scores major points with my boyfriend and I for having Strongbow cider available. Even better is that it was half price during happy hour - score! We each had 3 one evening while killing some time before going out to see our friends dj at 330 Lounge further down Lincoln Road. We were definitely a little bit tipsy and all for under $20... not bad! Our server was Angel and she was wonderful -- friendly and talkative, also very knowledgeable about the offerings/specials. The outdoor seating at their prime Lincoln Road spot is great for people watching.

Aside from the fact that it can sometimes take a while to get service, even when you're standing at the bar and the place isn't that full, and the food menu is limited and is basic 'bar food", I've always had fun when I've come here. When there is a soccer game, Monday Night Football or other sporting event on TV, they usually mount a plasma screen outside so you can sit at a table, chat, sip your beer, watch the game and people watch during the commercials. I took a buddy here earlier this year to watch an NFL game...He's from New York, so he thought it was cool to watch football outside at night without freezing, while people are jogging or going past the place on rollerblades (welcome to Lincoln Rd. Ha ha.) On the weekends they've usually got cover bands playing here at night and the place always gets crowded.

Good Bits Location- sit outside and people watch Casual- Collegiate and sportsy, you don't feel like your being judged Bad Bits Crappy draft beer selection Slow and apathetic service The food was a joke. It tasted like they had gone into Costco's frozen foods aisle and reheated some frozen fish triangles, and cheap egg rolls. Luckily it was inexpensive. Do not eat here!

Came here to watch some football and have a few drinks. The patio area is great for hanging out but the inside is not great. Can be very noisy, there were smokers, and wasn't very clean. I had their award winning wings which were very mediocre. Drinks specials are excellent though.

What do you get for $6.50 here? A pint of Harp and bleeding ears. Awesome they played the game, but the volume was so loud and tinny, it was unbearable. Equally unbearable, an 'irish' pub that pours Guinness like it's Budweiser. The place smelled like they never clean their mops - and a mostly empty bar still required flagging down a bartender for another pint. Yes, I stayed for two - ears might have been bleeding, but the game was a good one.

We went here the night before we left our Miami vacation. Very nice bar on Lincoln Rd. We went on a Weds night so it wasn't that crowded. The staff was very friendly and they had a decent drink selection and lots of TVs. It's nice to have this option of a more laid back bar on Lincoln Rd.

DO NOT GO HERE. I would give it less than one star if possible. The service was terrible- the bartender seemed like she had way too much to drink the night before- getting a beer was a 20 minute process. But she was nice, so at that point in the experience, the place deserved about 3 stars. HOWEVER the manager-seeming guy (yes, you with the black spiky hair) is a lunatic. We were ready to leave, and after not receiving our food after an hour and a half, we asked this guy behind the bar to cancel our order. He replied (in a very hostile manner) that it was behind the bar and had been for quite some time, and that we should have magically known that we had to retrieve it from the bar (which is funny because we had been ordering beers this whole time, and no one mentioned our food was up. Add that to the fact that the bartender asked us where we were sitting when we ordered). When we asked for a refund, he kept telling us they were on the house. That's great, but we already paid for them, we don't want them, we want to leave, so we'd just like a refund please. With that he proceeded to come around the bar (I kid you not) and get in the face of my boyfriend while yelling profanity-laced statements like "Don't F with me! I'll F with you right back!" This went on for about 15 minutes. Okay dude, we just wanted our seven bucks back, we do not want the cold chicken, and we want to go home. TOTAL PSYCHO. Stay away.

finnegans too ... the problem with finnegans too is that they dont have that many good beers. i would rate them 4 stars if they had delirium, chimay .. the good stuff. so i always get guinness when im here, you cannot go wrong with a guinness. the food - i had it once and never again. theres a couple of pool tables and a stage where bands perform nightly. it could get pretty loud inside but theres tables outside too. service is ok, there are waitresses but apparently only until a certain time, you must go up to the bar after that. i dont love finnegans, but i dont hate it either.

John K.
Probably the worst bartenders I've ever come across.They were inattentive throughout the night and several times my friends and I ordered two beers at a time because they were useless.This bar needs some real bartenders that can make people welcome and keep them supplied with drinks throughout their stay instead of these wannabe bunnies who couldn't care less about the service only the tip at the end.

I've been going to Finnegan's for the past 8 years and I always have a good time there. The place has a great vibe, good music, has live bands playing all the time and great bartenders. Pretty much have everything you need for a great time and a good selection of beer and liquor. It's a very local place and the same people have been going for years and years, including me ;) . One problem I do have though is that the bathrooms are really nasty, probably the worst I have ever seen. But after a few beers, it doesn't matter much. I go to Finnegan's at least once a week and love it.

The service here sucks. The food here sucks. The draught beer selection sucks. Only good thing about Finnegan's Two is the live band. When I went, there was some decent rock going on. It was also easy to find a table. Regarding the servers, they have these blank stares on their faces and one of the anorexic looking ones wanted to get by my friend so she just stood there and stared him down without condescending to say "excuse me." A cheery bunch they are!

I like this bar. My brother and his girlfriend go here all the time and its a great bar. Not your typical sobe bar. Its not trendy or fancy at all. Far from it. Just good people wanted to have a good time. Seriously people, you know where not to order food from, you walk into this place and just know not to eat here. You go here to drink, so if you had a bad meal here and you are complaining about it then use common sense next time and don't order food from a dirty bar.

Pretty good low key place to grab a few drinks after dinner. Sometimes they have a band playing inside, and pool tables. The drinks were ok, the only bad thing was that they had like one waiter for the entire bar so the service was really slow.

When I use to work on Lincoln Road, this was the hangout of many of my office workers after work. There plenty of chairs outside and usually a free table inside. The drink prices are not too outrageous. Since there is outside seating, the smokers don't have to stand on a street corner.

In one sentence- the worst food ive eaten in Miami. Horrible service also. Went here to watch a heat game and suffered through the worst chicken wings ive ever had. You would think a bar playing sports on all the tv's would have some decent finger foods but you would be wrong. Place sucks, ill never go back.

I've never eaten at Finnegan's, but something tells me that the food is likely reminiscent of the kind served at most other sport's bars with a name alluding to the Emerald Isle. It's probably unfair of me to say that, to assume little difference between Finnegan's and some other run of the mill "pub," but that's just the impression I get. Inside, you get pool tables, a bar that stretches across the length of the establishment, a digital jukebox, and an attendant in the bathroom. I hate bathroom attendants. Absolutely hate them. And it's not that I'm opposed to someone making an honest living. It's more that I find it mildly offensive to pay someone to wash MY OWN HANDS. I can't be alone in feeling this way. Moreover, the bathroom attendant, in my opinion, just doesn't jive with a place that's meant to be somewhat divey. Am I wrong in thinking this? Wouldn't you think that a place featuring a guy in the bathroom with all sorts of breath fresheners and colognes would more fittingly toe the train tracks on the more affluent side of town? I mean, have you ever been at a pub or bar or whatever and said to yourself, "You know what'd make this better? A spritz of Cool Water." That just flies in the face of what a pub is supposed to be! I don't know. I obviously have very strong feelings concerning the matter. I just feel that a bathroom attendant at a pub/dive is akin to a bathroom attendant at a strip club. Really, who are you trying to fool? Everyone else or yourself? Wow. What a tangent. Where Finnegan's succeeds is in its outdoor seating, but really, that can be said about pretty much any and every other bar/restaurant on Lincoln Road. But Finnegan's also kind of fails in this regard in that the service outside is painfully slow. So in summation: lose the dude in the bathroom and focus your efforts on accommodating the folks outside a little more adeptly. Finnegan's has a fairly solid foundation upon which to build. I'm just not sure what's taking so long for them to do so.

Here we go again! Went after a year of staying away and continue to get lipstick stained glasses. Also, during 2 for 1 happy hour, we were forced to have the 2 drinks on the table at one time...makes for a second warm beer. Last but not least....lose the men's bathroom attendant. He sits in there singing and his table takes up half the bathroom space. This isn't the Ritz, no attendant needed!!!

Definitely pass. Although it is one of the very few Irish spots around, I would skip it. Nothing Irish about it. The corn beef is far from the expectations I had..service was below average. The guy in the restroom that thought I was incapable of turning the faucet on and felt the need to do it for me (looking for a tip in doing so) was in for a rude awakening. Only positive was the skittles mixed drink, very tasty. PASS.

Awesome Jukebox! Right on Lincoln Mall Rd this place has the best jukebox. No filters on this bad boy so you can hear all your favorite songs uncensored. The sound was high too which I like. Beyond that I just had a couple cold beers and relaxed. Good spot. Remember to tell them Dan sent you and Stay hungry!

1 star is too much for this place! I figured Lincoln Road must be decent. No way! I ordered wings and French fries and I've had frozen wings in a bag at home way better than these double breaded ,hard , crusty , super salty wings with no flavor. I asked for ranch and got packaged Tatar sauce. If you come here order bottled beer only and go away quick! Oh and service sucked...

I may have met the angriest woman in South Beach. What can I say? I work fast. My group and I settled in for a drink or four but I never felt very comfortable. Between the waitress forgetting orders ("Reeed Striiippppeeee") and just plain not giving a damn, I thought I would take my chances inside and go straight to the source: the bartender. Our repartee went a little like this: Her: "What?!!" Me: "(gulp) Um, hi. Could I get a Red Stripe?" Her: glares Me: nervously smiles Her: *slams things around* *banging* *thrashing* *opens up beer* *slams it on bar* "$8!" Me: "Are you sure? It was only $6.50 outside (which is still too much for a d*mn Red Stripe)." Her : "$8!!" *squint* Me: (evidently this lady needs to know how I roll) "[redacted in case children are reading]!!!11!!!11!" Her: "Gimme the money ($6.50)!" Me: *counts out exactly $6.50* Her: *mutters something mean* Me: Walks out of bar, likely, never to return. I realize people have off days but for real for real? No. Don't treat customers like that.

We went to this place on Monday, st patty's day, because we remembered they had happy hr mon-fri. We sat and received a less than friendly welcome. As we're ordering, we find out they're not having happy hr because it's st patty's. Alright, annoying but understandable. We order the full priced drinks, only for them to come watered down, half full, in shitty plastic cups, and to top it off, all brought to us by an unfriendly, and rude waitress. Never coming back.

It's the only Irish joint around so it's not like they are motivated to be the best they can be. Bartenders are really nice. Wings aren't bad. I could do with some more rock on the jukebox vs rap but what can you do? Pretty pricey for an Irish pub though. Nearly $30 for two beers and a plate of wings. I'd expect them to be magical wings for that price!

Lis K.
Went to Finnegan's Road for lunch with my family, who were in town visiting. The waitress did not write down the order so only some of the food came out together. One of us waited a half an hour for hers to come out because the waitress forgot to put it in. When my husband's turkey wrap came out, it literally had one slice of turkey on it. ALL lettuce. Also, no mayo or mustard on it and none of these condiments were on the table. The only thing good were the bloody marys. I would not recommend this place for their food or service. Overpriced.

Living in Miami all my life, I'm very well aware of the fact that some places water down their alcohol and it doesn't really bother me too much, but this was ridiculous. We ordered our first round of Grey Goose and RedBull and noticed it was pretty weak, so I ordered the next round and asked her not to add the RedBull. Took a sip of what was supposed to be "straight" vodka and I would say that it was about 90% water. On the bright side, the waitress was very courteous and attentive. I know its not her fault what the bar does, so I still left her a good tip but will definitely never return to this place again. Come on Finnegan's, you guys are already ripping us off when you water it down, don't be that greedy!!

The Guiness here needs some work, the lines are quite dirty hence the flavor is not what it is supposed to be.

Walked over here after leaving Ocean Drive and it definitely reminded me of a New York City bar so it was fine by me. The drinks were not overly priced so no complaints about that either. The crowd was decent, a few couples playing pool and the bar was not packed with drunk and crazed tourists. We were able to get a seat at the bar and enjoy the rest of our evening to the jukebox music being played in the background.

Christina L.
Sunday night. We arrived with a big group of 10-13 girls. Took forever for us to get anyone to pay us any attention. We ended up having to rearrange the tables to seat all of us together. After shifting the tables around in our heels and skirts, one of us had to go find the waitress and ask her to come take our orders. There was maybe about 8 other people in the bar and 2 waitresses. Why did we have to go directly to ask to order drinks?!? Drinks were watered down, too. There are better bars for a Sunday night. We picked the wrong one. Don't make the same mistake and settle for sh*tty service and watered-down drinks.

Watched the Pats win the 2011-2012 AFC Championship Game here and that was 5 stars. Sat outside on Lincoln Road, three tv sets side by side so great view at all times, crowd was good, etc. The food was really cheap as well (for Lincoln Road or South Beach in general). I got chicken fingers and fries and they were ok - nothing great or special but just fine for a cheap bite - I would have paid twenty bucks for a bite to eat with that special space to watch that game. The service was a little slow but they were busy - and friendly. They served these really tall coors light mini kegs at the tables too which seemed like a lot of fun. I would recommend this place to watch a game. If you drink enough I'm sure the food would turn into something fantastic too! I originally rated this place four stars because it's really not much beyond that (might be a stretch), but I gave them five stars because they did NOT automatically add a tip to my check - so I tipped them more than the standard 20% that other bars usually tack onto the checks. I was really pleased with my (slow) service - I understand it was busy and am very grateful to have had a great experience to watch my home team win the AFC Championship.

The food is bar food and I am not even getting into that. The problem I have is the women's bathroom...leaking sink, handicap stall has NO DOOR (yeah ya heard me) and the only other stall had no toilet paper. Unacceptable. ...very disappointing. Management needs to get on their A Game.

What keeps me going back to this place is the fact that no where else on Lincoln Road offers fast, fresh, & inexpensive food. HOWEVER, the service is terrible. They get away with it because 1. most of Lincoln Road has poor service & 2. it's a tourist attraction & where there are tourist, there are hungry people who will endure the painful/sluggish service. The pulled pork sandwich is good as well as the chicken finger platter. Both with french fries & no more than $10. The pastrami sandwich was good also. Came with a pickle & fries. I wasn't a fan of the coleslaw. They usually run some drink special (so ask about it, or you probably won't find out about it.) You won't see your waitress much either, so ask for everything you may need during your visit at the very beginning.

Jessica P.
Great place to have a beer and people watch but under no circumstance would I order food again. The loaded nacho was 8 chips on a plastic plate with nacho cheese sauce and canned chili. Since I was not going to eat that I ordered a pulled chicken sandwich... again so disappointed. The chicken was not pulled it was barely cut and strange in color considering the BBQ sauce was in a to-go container on the side the chicken shouldn't have been pink. I had low expectations coming here but I thought it was hard to mess up frozen bar food. Boy was I proven wrong.

Lia P.
Yuck people smoke in here. Is that allowed? I thought when food was served you can't do that. Either way it was nasty. Only went there to watch a little bit of football and have a drink. Literally had A drink, some horrible greasy snack and left. Won't be back.

Alex D.
Would give zero stars if possible. Cons (There are many): The service is aggressive, hostile, lazy, and ill-informed about whats on the menu. About a minute after being seated and shown the menu we were asked to give our orders and asking for a little more time to decide seemed to tick off the waitress. Menu is minute and has about 10 items total. I decided to order a sandwich (adding cheese is a dollar extra) and I got just that, bread and deli meat, no lettuce/tomato/garnishes/etc. The most surprising part was getting our food on small black plastic disposable plates. They cant even be bothered to wash dishes at this place. Food wasn't memorable but thats pretty much due to the fact that you're eating the plainest, ingredient-less sandwich on the planet. Lincoln Road eateries are pretty bad in general but this one might take the cake. Pros: One of the cheaper places on lincoln

This place is only ok for drinking. I don't drink liquor only beer so can't comment on that. I only give it two stars because the beer was cold and had cool music. Other than that, service was terrible. We were taking napkins and utensils from the table next to us because if we waited for the waitress we would never get it. The food is mediocre at best. NOT worth the money. I had the wings and my husband the pulled pork sandwich with fries and cold slaw. Again, mediocre at best. Cole slaw is disgusting. I regretted spending my money there.

Finnegan's is a perfect spot to stop in and have a beer around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Of course, sitting outside on Lincoln is great, but even indoors is good as the doors are always open to let in the light and the breeze! The happy hour specials are good and the staff is friendly enough. Great selection of flavored vodkas! Just don't eat here! Ugh! If you go next door, you can order an excellent fish sandwich and onion rings from the Polar Bar.

Not my first choice, but I end up here when I'm desperate! Cheezy and touristy... Not my style! I was here last St. Patrick's Day because everything else was ridiculously packed - all I have to say is thank goodness for shots and beer! Those made the visit much more bearable. It's a little harsh, I know, but that's my opinion!

This was our last stop last weekend on date night. I had such a great time! The hostesses and servers were all really nice and friendly. We ended the night with a couple cocktails each, some chicken wings, and we split a pulled pork sandwich while watching the Heat game. Its allot more casual then many of the places you'll find on Lincoln Road which was fine for us we had walked around allot that day so we weren't looking for anything that made us put forth too much effort... a casual sports bar-ish place fit just perfectly into our mindset at the moment. The wings were awesome. Different then normal wings I've had but they were just right. Crunchy and not 'set your face on fire' hot. Actually the pulled pork sandwich wasn't bad either.. It usually goes one of two ways when you order pulled pork in my opinion.. horrible or delicious and I am glad to say that it was delicious. I will likely be back here because I was welcomed so warmly by all of the staff.

Slim food menu, no healthy options (no salads). People smoke inside (I thought people couldn't smoke inside if food is served)? Wasn't really fond of this place - not planning on going back. There are certainly better sports bars on the beach.

Friday night we walked over to Segrefrado on Lincoln for drinks but the wait was 20 minutes. Not to many bars open late in Lincoln so we came over here for drinks to people watch. yet it is a totally different vibe they being at Segrefrado it was cool to people watch, and just be able to relax and drink. I was actually surpirsed how crowded it was outside for such a dive bar.

Sadly we stumbled upon this place by mistake, hoping that it was a real Irish place and lured by the bitter taste of an ice cold Guinness beer. Waitstaff sucks- these guys are focused on nothing - how can you collect a paycheck for such a dismal job, it was certainly reflected on my tip...or lack thereof- The food .... BLAH - Not even worth me wasting more words on this place, nothing to see here... keep walking.

Wow.. no. Just not what it could be. Sure use the fact that its "Lincoln road" as an excuse to serve sub-par food at ridiculously high prices. The chips really were CHIPS .. not a cute reference to the british way of saying 'fries'. The roast beef sandwich was NOT on a hoagie, like they usually are but on a small roll, with such little meat I couldn't believe they were charging us $8 for it. The wings?? FRIED CHICKEN, no sauce. Battered like fried chicken, tasted like fried chicken, because thats what it was. IF you want them hot? Tabasco sauce for you .. Unless you are grabbing a beer and playing pool, skip it.

This place sucked. We walked in because they had a pool table and we wanted a beer. After paying through the nose for a Guiness the unhappy unfriendly bartender didn't even take the time to pour it correctly. The place was dirty, staff was unfriendly, music from the juke box was being blasted through blown speakers so loud all you could hear was distorted bass and rattle...would not go back. Also the pool table was garbage, it looked like someone was doing carpentry work on it there was so much saw dust and filth on it.

Yeah, I have to agree with Michelle W on this one. Every place on Lincoln Road with prime people watching automatically gets an extra star - because it's totally worth it. There's nothing like sitting out on a Friday or Saturday night and watching the crazies walk by. We stopped in the other night and, predictably, met some such oddballs. :) Haha - but on the upside, we got to play with a cute bulldog. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it's a decent stop for a cocktail on a night spent cruising the beach.

Decent place to grab a drink and snack after work. They give a discount to Lincoln Road workers, which is a plus. Service is kind of slow, and the live music is usually garbage and annoyingly loud. Drinks are very overpriced, just like everywhere on SoBe, but they aren't that bad and they have a decent selection. Food is what you would expect from a bar, nothing spectacular, but it satisfies. The hummus is pretty delicious.

This place is such a dump but I always end up here because of their prime location on Lincoln Road. It's a shame that they don't clean this place up and actually serve quality food and drinks. Oh, yeah at least have a clean bathroom too. By far one of the nastiest bathrooms in all of the Western Hemisphere.

Finnnegan's Two is like the booty call of the bar world, you only come here cos you know it's cheap. Get your "sure thing" swerve on M-F, 4-7, 2-4-1 on everything. Arrive early, arrive late. Come thirsty, leave quenched.

Michelle W.
The location of this place is probably the best thing about it. Nice place to have a beer outside with friends and watch the madness go by that is Lincoln Road. The service is hit or miss, sometimes it's quick, sometimes it's slow. Decent restrooms, eat before/after you come. Not much of a food selection here.

If i could give it zero stars i would. We get seated outside as we asked by our server. She doesn't come and take our drink order for about 7 minutes which was weird because there were probably four other tables there. The girl barley spoke english which would be ok but she barley understood what we were ordering. I had to explain we wanted fried mushrooms to start three times. Regardless the mushrooms came with our meals. It took forever to get our beers every time & i just saw the bartender standing around talking most of the time. We ordered wings and fish sandwiches. Nothing special about them, plan but got us full. I had to get up twice to ask our server for stuff because she never checked on us. Plus her ass cheeks were out the whole time. Even hooters has more class. I guess people like bare ass around there food, not sure. Then it took ten minutes to get our check. It was very empty inside and what should have been a 1 hour lunch tops took 2 hours. Very annoying. I'm a local and I'll never go back.

When i went to this place i was so frustrated and disappointed. When i got there the hostess was chit chatting with her friends so i took the liberty of doing her job and sitting my friends and family on one of the tables. Then the waitress comes, sees we have no menus and ask the hostess to please provide us with some. And the hostess loudly states " people think they can sit anywhere." Then proceeds to throw the menus on the table. I was so upset I asked for the manager which was Jason. However Jason took 45 minutes to swing by! He did "hooked" us up with drinks however they really watered them down. The food was overpriced and disgusting. The fries taste like seafood. Like gross! Im sorry first and last time. There are plenty of places to eat on Lincoln Road that are friendlier, more experienced and ran by mature people.

Finnegan's Two is a good low-key spot to grab a drink and hang out with friends while people-watching on Lincoln Road. The drinks are potent and not too pricey, given the location. The staff is friendly, but service can be a little sparse when it's crowded. The key word at Finnegan's Two is "drink," as it's a bar. There's a limited menu available - but if you want some food with your booze, you're better off elsewhere, such as the Finnegan's on Ocean.

7 dollar decent pour of guinness on lincoln road, not bad. otherwise, its every other o'neills, flannigans, not as bad as a bennigans, you've been to in your own hometown. staff was nicer than most lincoln road establishments, let us rough house and play pool til way way too late.

A real rip off! On December 28, in the evening, I ordered a beer and some chicken wings. The place was not very busy, and after 20 minutes, I asked the blonde bartender about the wings, and she apologized about the slow service. A few minutes later, I asked for my check because I had to feed my parking meter. I gave her a $20 bill for a $7.08 check, and she gave me 12 one dollar bills in change which I later counted out after I left the place. It was bad enough for the poor service but to be cheated on the change is the worse. Avoid this place like the plague!

Been here a few times and will probably not be back for a while. Nothing bad but nothing to write home about either. Here's the skinny: Location: Solid. Conveniently located on Lincoln Rd, provides you a good avenue to explore other bars/restaurants. You can park in the Lincoln complex or try and get some street parking. Drink/Food: Full bar, prices are decent for Lincoln Rd and they have a 2 for 1 happy hour. They have a very limited menu. Service: Lags. Getting up from my seat and walking over to the bar is fine if Im by myself but I've had to do this on more than one occasion because of the lack of service. Maybe if Fin 2 was located somewhere else I'd have a different opinion but for now I tend to stay away and visit other spots on Lincoln.

Supposedly an Irish bar, but nobody who works there is Irish, or even a native English speaker for that matter. Always smells like spilled beer and old fryer oil and the service sucks.

We went here the night before we left our Miami vacation. Very nice bar on Lincoln Rd. We went on a Weds night so it wasn't that crowded. The staff was very friendly and they had a decent drink selection and lots of TVs. It's nice to have this option of a more laid back bar on Lincoln Rd.

Umm... it's called Finnegan's Two and NOT 'Finnegan's Too' like it says in the listing. Personally, I would prefer if they used the roman numeral II, but that's just me. The place has some potential. It's a very casual spot and kind of an alternative to the typical Lincoln Road fanfare. It's pretty much a sports bar with a collegiate feel to it. They have a small raised stage for bands and they're not afraid to crank up the tunes as well as the juke box, which could be a good thing.... or not. Last time I was there the juke box was blaring B-52's 'Love Shack' at 3pm in the afternoon. The bartender went over to the tuner to adjust the volume and I was about to thank her, because I thought she was going to turn it down or maybe even hit the Skip button. Instead she turned the volume UP. YIKES! Very scary. I finished my beer and got the hell outta there. Who needs to hear that song anymore, and louder at that?! : 0

I've had two experiences with this place, I should have known better than to give it that second chance. I waited to leave this review, knowing that the only words my fingers would tap out would be along the lines of "killkillkillkill" I like sports, and I like bars. I'm Irish by injection, too, so I thought this cool looking little bar on too-hip-for-you Lincoln Road would be great. I've never paid so much to wait so long for the misery of eating stale bread. They say hunger is the best spice. Anything tastes good when you're hungry. Not so. I *still* taste sawdust when I pass the place by. And St. Paddy's day was an experience in misery there. I didn't choose the place, and after an hour, we moved over to the Polar Bar next door. Not after complaining about the horrid service and the fact that the non-english speaking waitress actually refused to take a late-comer's order and didn't give back one of our friend's credit card back. Go to Zeke's. More beers, cheaper, and better service.

Of course we found the "Irish bar" on Lincoln Rd. Don't be fooled, the only thing Irish about this bar was the name. Perfect place to split some average tasting apps, beer buckets, and pregame for the night ahead. My favorite part of my Sunday Funday at this bar was the amount of TV's airing all available games, and the vast amount of different football fan bases represented. The service at the tables is pretty slow and sparse, I would recommend sitting at the bar if you get there early enough.

The service here sucks. The food here sucks. The draught beer selection sucks. Only good thing about Finnegan's Two is the live band. When I went, there was some decent rock going on. It was also easy to find a table. Regarding the servers, they have these blank stares on their faces and one of the anorexic looking ones wanted to get by my friend so she just stood there and stared him down without condescending to say "excuse me." A cheery bunch they are!

the first 2 times i came to finnegan's, the experiences weren't good.... i thought i'd give it one last try... today was the 3rd strike, and they're out... let's start by saying that there was a line of people waiting to be seated, and the hostess was nowhere to be found... my friend decided to go inside and ask for some service... they finally pointed us to a table outside, which had yet to be cleaned.... the last people's empty cups and tab were still sitting on the table.... we sat down and waited............................................Â.............. and waited, and waited, and waited............................................Â........and waited some more.... 30 minutes later, my friend got up again, to ask for some service... they finally sent a server, who walked up to the table and asked us what we wanted.... um............ how about a menu? by this point, i was irritated and ready to leave, but my friend convinced me to stay... we ordered chicken tenders, and a clam chowder... 25 minutes later, we were still waiting... they finally brought us our food, which was actually pretty good... we wanted water.... the server was nowhere to be found, so when we finally saw her again, we didn't even ask her to bring us the bill... we just handed her our credit cards.... as we were getting up, a couple stopped to ask us if we were done; they wanted our table.... we advised them to choose another spot... i will not be going back.

Cool little bar in South Beach. Not a ton of action in there. but i don't really recall the time of night I was there. Stopped in for a quick car bomb. Not nearly enough Guinness to over take the shot I dropped in the glass. That meant no beer bubbling over. That also meant no 2nd drink.

This place is as low budget as it gets (presentation wise). Came here on a Saturday night to watch a college football game. Sat outside and ordered a blue moon (served in a plastic cup, but at least served with an orange slice). For my food, I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Fries were fine, the buffalo chicken portion was basically two flattened chicken strips. Reminded me of something you would buy in bulk at a sam's club in the frozen food section. Ketchup is in packets, silverware comes all plastic. Can't see myself coming back.

Generally, I'm not a big fan of Finnegan's on the River, so I figured I'd be equally apathetic to the location on Lincoln Rd., but every time I come here I never have a problem. Decent priced drinks and laid back environment. Although it's not my favorite place on Lincoln Road to go for drinks, I will usually stop here when I'm with a fairly large group of girlfriends out on a night on the town.

I'm giving this place 3 stars because at the time it's precisely what I was looking for.... a bar open super late where we could sit outside and shoot the breeze... My beer was cold, the breeze was humid... mission accomplished... so to speak...

Much attuned to most establishments of South Beach this is a sorry a$$ excuse for an Irish watering hole. Food is horrible and service is even worse - the owners apparently decided it would be a good idea to hire only young eastern european women for bartenders and servers. While sounds nice in theory it is nearly hilarious in practice as these girls have NO idea what they are doing. On my last (very last forever..) visit there about a month ago I had the nerve to sternly ask for my tab from the bartender, after she had ignored me for about 10 minutes while chatting with her friends. Her refusal to accommodate my request was accompanied by "F#ck you Bitch!" which was repeated to me several times in broken English and with much passion that can only be described as a defeated spirit lashing loose... Kudos to the owners and management of this place - I have been to a many Irish pubs in my lifetime as I grew up in Brooklyn and Finnegan's Two is without a doubt the worst one of all time!

Service was alright. Great for people watching, or catching a game on one of the many tv screens (but no large flat screens to view). Full bar, with happy hour specials: 2-for-1 drinks between 4-7 pm weekdays I'm mainly reviewing this place for the BUFFALO WINGS. Yum! There's no sauciness to it, but they are battered and fried, but the flavor is all up in the wings (crust AND the meat itself)! with this spicy heat that just builds on itself... it's tasty, and not messy in the least (good for continue your shopping escapade on Lincoln Rd).

I went in here during the day waiting for some friends... I ordered a glass of wine and asked to see the menu. 1st of all, the menu has like 8 things on it. God forbid you ask for silverware, cause I did from the waitress and got this "are you kidding me?" look. When I asked the bartender I got the same look, then was handed some plastic utensils in plastic wrap! Thank god I was at the wrong bar. I went to the one on Ocean where they had a full menu, metal utensils and a bartender with a clue. There are SO many other places to go on Lincoln. Save your time and go somewhere worth it.

This place scores major points with my boyfriend and I for having Strongbow cider available. Even better is that it was half price during happy hour - score! We each had 3 one evening while killing some time before going out to see our friends dj at 330 Lounge further down Lincoln Road. We were definitely a little bit tipsy and all for under $20... not bad! Our server was Angel and she was wonderful -- friendly and talkative, also very knowledgeable about the offerings/specials. The outdoor seating at their prime Lincoln Road spot is great for people watching.

Aside from the fact that it can sometimes take a while to get service, even when you're standing at the bar and the place isn't that full, and the food menu is limited and is basic 'bar food", I've always had fun when I've come here. When there is a soccer game, Monday Night Football or other sporting event on TV, they usually mount a plasma screen outside so you can sit at a table, chat, sip your beer, watch the game and people watch during the commercials. I took a buddy here earlier this year to watch an NFL game...He's from New York, so he thought it was cool to watch football outside at night without freezing, while people are jogging or going past the place on rollerblades (welcome to Lincoln Rd. Ha ha.) On the weekends they've usually got cover bands playing here at night and the place always gets crowded.

Good Bits Location- sit outside and people watch Casual- Collegiate and sportsy, you don't feel like your being judged Bad Bits Crappy draft beer selection Slow and apathetic service The food was a joke. It tasted like they had gone into Costco's frozen foods aisle and reheated some frozen fish triangles, and cheap egg rolls. Luckily it was inexpensive. Do not eat here!

Came here to watch some football and have a few drinks. The patio area is great for hanging out but the inside is not great. Can be very noisy, there were smokers, and wasn't very clean. I had their award winning wings which were very mediocre. Drinks specials are excellent though.

What do you get for $6.50 here? A pint of Harp and bleeding ears. Awesome they played the game, but the volume was so loud and tinny, it was unbearable. Equally unbearable, an 'irish' pub that pours Guinness like it's Budweiser. The place smelled like they never clean their mops - and a mostly empty bar still required flagging down a bartender for another pint. Yes, I stayed for two - ears might have been bleeding, but the game was a good one.

DO NOT GO HERE. I would give it less than one star if possible. The service was terrible- the bartender seemed like she had way too much to drink the night before- getting a beer was a 20 minute process. But she was nice, so at that point in the experience, the place deserved about 3 stars. HOWEVER the manager-seeming guy (yes, you with the black spiky hair) is a lunatic. We were ready to leave, and after not receiving our food after an hour and a half, we asked this guy behind the bar to cancel our order. He replied (in a very hostile manner) that it was behind the bar and had been for quite some time, and that we should have magically known that we had to retrieve it from the bar (which is funny because we had been ordering beers this whole time, and no one mentioned our food was up. Add that to the fact that the bartender asked us where we were sitting when we ordered). When we asked for a refund, he kept telling us they were on the house. That's great, but we already paid for them, we don't want them, we want to leave, so we'd just like a refund please. With that he proceeded to come around the bar (I kid you not) and get in the face of my boyfriend while yelling profanity-laced statements like "Don't F with me! I'll F with you right back!" This went on for about 15 minutes. Okay dude, we just wanted our seven bucks back, we do not want the cold chicken, and we want to go home. TOTAL PSYCHO. Stay away.

finnegans too ... the problem with finnegans too is that they dont have that many good beers. i would rate them 4 stars if they had delirium, chimay .. the good stuff. so i always get guinness when im here, you cannot go wrong with a guinness. the food - i had it once and never again. theres a couple of pool tables and a stage where bands perform nightly. it could get pretty loud inside but theres tables outside too. service is ok, there are waitresses but apparently only until a certain time, you must go up to the bar after that. i dont love finnegans, but i dont hate it either.

John K.
Probably the worst bartenders I've ever come across.They were inattentive throughout the night and several times my friends and I ordered two beers at a time because they were useless.This bar needs some real bartenders that can make people welcome and keep them supplied with drinks throughout their stay instead of these wannabe bunnies who couldn't care less about the service only the tip at the end.

Josh S.
I've been going to Finnegan's for the past 8 years and I always have a good time there. The place has a great vibe, good music, has live bands playing all the time and great bartenders. Pretty much have everything you need for a great time and a good selection of beer and liquor. It's a very local place and the same people have been going for years and years, including me ;) . One problem I do have though is that the bathrooms are really nasty, probably the worst I have ever seen. But after a few beers, it doesn't matter much. I go to Finnegan's at least once a week and love it.

I like this bar. My brother and his girlfriend go here all the time and its a great bar. Not your typical sobe bar. Its not trendy or fancy at all. Far from it. Just good people wanted to have a good time. Seriously people, you know where not to order food from, you walk into this place and just know not to eat here. You go here to drink, so if you had a bad meal here and you are complaining about it then use common sense next time and don't order food from a dirty bar.

Pretty good low key place to grab a few drinks after dinner. Sometimes they have a band playing inside, and pool tables. The drinks were ok, the only bad thing was that they had like one waiter for the entire bar so the service was really slow.

When I use to work on Lincoln Road, this was the hangout of many of my office workers after work. There plenty of chairs outside and usually a free table inside. The drink prices are not too outrageous. Since there is outside seating, the smokers don't have to stand on a street corner.

Horrible service. The waitresses are semi-asleep and hung over. Kind of a downer when we get there hyped up to drink and your waitress asks you if you are sure you want to drink,?!?!?!? Definitely not the place to be if you are in party mode. But!!!!! Two for one drink deal, so if you don't mind half drunk waitresses and you are there to get more for your money. This is the place for you.

James L.
The service here was really nice, also I liked how the employee's greated me with a smile. I saw they have this huge beer dispenser they use on Sunday's they told me for 18$ which is pretty good. They have daily 4 dollar beer specials, pool tables, a juke box, and plenty of tv's to keep you busy and entertained. The reason why I gave it a 3 is because it just feels outdated inside. The TV's are too small, everything just feels old. It feels as if the place needs some remodeling. Everything else in lincoln road has been stepping their game up and this place should too.

I have been to the other Finnegan locations and this was the first time at this location. We got there at 6:58 PM. Our waitress was amazing and got all of us in for happy hour with two drinks each. The drinks kept coming and the fried food was quite tasty. I have had food at the other locations and was not very good. We only got appetizers but they were done right. The atmosphere on Lincoln Road is always fun and it continued into Finnegan's. Highly recommended for a great happy hour!

I went to Finnegan's road with a group of college friends to watch our alma mater's basketball game during a reunion weekend, and we all agreed that we wouldn't go back. The food was mediocre at best (even for bar food), and sadly, this was the least bad part of the total experience. The service was horrific, the TV audio was completely busted, there was a persistent rancid cleaning solution smell lingering in the air, and the bathrooms were disgusting. There was also a men's room attendant working for tips at 330pm - seriously?! All of this said, the most hilarious moment of our adventure was when (before we had even ordered), the waitress asked us if we "really needed" our six menus. We gave up all but two and shared. There were a total of six other people in the entire establishment at this point. We counted. For a location in the Lincoln Road Mall, it was just so bad. It's very likely that you'd get a better crappy Irish bar experience pretty much anywhere else.

Paula V.
First time here, service is friendly, our waitress didn't even bother us like most places we go to, polite and proactive, I hate the fact the music won't let us listen to the game and the place next door is blasting Spanish music so both places combine make it hard to enjoy the game, we ordered the chicken wrap and chicken sandwich both were goods, the French fries were delicious, fresh and crunchy!!! Giving 2 stars because of the ambiance. Jessica was awesome.

Saturday, OCT 12: I'm a local. So, check this out. I go in on Saturday around 5pm. Sign reads "happy hour 4-7 ... 2x1 beers" (see pic attached) After I ordered another round, I confirmed with the server the 2x1. She says "no, that's for Monday thru Friday only..." She then goes in quickly and comes out even quicker to wipe the sign clean. I asked for the manager three times. This requests were ignored. I was, though, happy with the server's quality of work and did not want to cause a scene, as I saw the server taking it rather personal. I'm a local and I generally enjoy this bar. However, what went on this time is unacceptable, even for Miami. Totally see tourists falling for this, but I don't think this is good or honest practice. I will stop by later today and ask for the manager again. More soon. Good spot for football / beer on Sunday. **************************************************Â******** UPDATE: Sunday, OCT 13 Around 2.15PM, I went in and asked for the manager. Manager's name not relevant. My argument, after explaining the experience the day before, was to explain to the manager that there were a couple of options available at this stage: Partial refund or any other gesture of goodwill; or I would report this incident. Perhaps it sounded like a threat, now that I think about it. Manager checked with the server in front of me (in Spanish), while it was admitted that the request for a manager had been ignored at the time, after the server failed to truly understand what it was going on. Manager then explained that it was the "other side of the sign that was meant to be read by the public", not the side that was facing me and anyone walking to the venue on Michigan Ave, headed northbound. Really? There was no apology offered and to my surprise, the manager also took this complaint in a very personal manner, and basically said that they had enough customers and was not too concerned to lose me as a customer. (I'm paraphrasing here) For the most part, the manager was yelling at me and employed a very argumentative tone, even interrupting me. (Impressive) Resolution: None from Finnegan's.

Just your regular 'ol bar. Nothing special! But come out for 2 for 1 drink specials during happy hour.

What they call a Ruben sandwich was rubbish! The worst sandwich I ever had. Drinks were ok, but served without a napkin or coaster.
(1)Iris G.
Horrible service. The waitresses are semi-asleep and hung over. Kind of a downer when we get there hyped up to drink and your waitress asks you if you are sure you want to drink,?!?!?!? Definitely not the place to be if you are in party mode. But!!!!! Two for one drink deal, so if you don't mind half drunk waitresses and you are there to get more for your money. This is the place for you.
(2)James L.
The service here was really nice, also I liked how the employee's greated me with a smile. I saw they have this huge beer dispenser they use on Sunday's they told me for 18$ which is pretty good. They have daily 4 dollar beer specials, pool tables, a juke box, and plenty of tv's to keep you busy and entertained. The reason why I gave it a 3 is because it just feels outdated inside. The TV's are too small, everything just feels old. It feels as if the place needs some remodeling. Everything else in lincoln road has been stepping their game up and this place should too.

I have been to the other Finnegan locations and this was the first time at this location. We got there at 6:58 PM. Our waitress was amazing and got all of us in for happy hour with two drinks each. The drinks kept coming and the fried food was quite tasty. I have had food at the other locations and was not very good. We only got appetizers but they were done right. The atmosphere on Lincoln Road is always fun and it continued into Finnegan's. Highly recommended for a great happy hour!
(5)Joseph O.
Definitely pass. Although it is one of the very few Irish spots around, I would skip it. Nothing Irish about it. The corn beef is far from the expectations I had..service was below average. The guy in the restroom that thought I was incapable of turning the faucet on and felt the need to do it for me (looking for a tip in doing so) was in for a rude awakening. Only positive was the skittles mixed drink, very tasty. PASS.
(1)Dan I. C.
Awesome Jukebox! Right on Lincoln Mall Rd this place has the best jukebox. No filters on this bad boy so you can hear all your favorite songs uncensored. The sound was high too which I like. Beyond that I just had a couple cold beers and relaxed. Good spot. Remember to tell them Dan sent you and Stay hungry!

I went to Finnegan's road with a group of college friends to watch our alma mater's basketball game during a reunion weekend, and we all agreed that we wouldn't go back. The food was mediocre at best (even for bar food), and sadly, this was the least bad part of the total experience. The service was horrific, the TV audio was completely busted, there was a persistent rancid cleaning solution smell lingering in the air, and the bathrooms were disgusting. There was also a men's room attendant working for tips at 330pm - seriously?! All of this said, the most hilarious moment of our adventure was when (before we had even ordered), the waitress asked us if we "really needed" our six menus. We gave up all but two and shared. There were a total of six other people in the entire establishment at this point. We counted. For a location in the Lincoln Road Mall, it was just so bad. It's very likely that you'd get a better crappy Irish bar experience pretty much anywhere else.
(2)Paula V.
First time here, service is friendly, our waitress didn't even bother us like most places we go to, polite and proactive, I hate the fact the music won't let us listen to the game and the place next door is blasting Spanish music so both places combine make it hard to enjoy the game, we ordered the chicken wrap and chicken sandwich both were goods, the French fries were delicious, fresh and crunchy!!! Giving 2 stars because of the ambiance. Jessica was awesome.
(2)Hector A.
Friendly staff. Great location location location. Fun to people watch on Lincoln rd. good drunk munchie food. Can't complain. It's str8. Enough elbow room except for special events. Tvs includes. Good place to preparty n meet up, chill, drink one or two and play pool
(3)Suraj D.
$19 for an LIT this place is a joke. How can a regular mixed drink be $10? But a LIT $19 never going back watered down drinks as well. Terrible
(1)Allyson S.
The waiters are confused and the food was overpriced and nasty. The nachos had microwaved chicken, no salsa or veggies and over processed canned cheese for $14. Don't eat here it was the worst.
(1)Brian H.
Open late cheapest drinks on Lincoln (dont expect it to be too cheap) and did i mention Open Late? their pours are pretty standard. Nothing to exceptional about the place. i wanted a place that had shots for under $15 and that was open late. it fit the bill
(4)William H.
One word...shabby. This place is terrible. The food is a low quality with horrible prep. The servers are lazy with an i don't give a hoot attitude ... "I didn't make it"was the response to a question about a sloppily made rueben sandwich. Skip this place.

Horrible service. I just asked the waitress for seltzer water and she replied "I DONT HAVE THAT" and walked away. Awful. Food is terrible. Would not come back here.
(1)James S.
In one sentence- the worst food ive eaten in Miami. Horrible service also. Went here to watch a heat game and suffered through the worst chicken wings ive ever had. You would think a bar playing sports on all the tv's would have some decent finger foods but you would be wrong. Place sucks, ill never go back.
(1)Alex R.
1 star is too much for this place! I figured Lincoln Road must be decent. No way! I ordered wings and French fries and I've had frozen wings in a bag at home way better than these double breaded ,hard , crusty , super salty wings with no flavor. I asked for ranch and got packaged Tatar sauce. If you come here order bottled beer only and go away quick! Oh and service sucked...
(1)William O.
I've never eaten at Finnegan's, but something tells me that the food is likely reminiscent of the kind served at most other sport's bars with a name alluding to the Emerald Isle. It's probably unfair of me to say that, to assume little difference between Finnegan's and some other run of the mill "pub," but that's just the impression I get. Inside, you get pool tables, a bar that stretches across the length of the establishment, a digital jukebox, and an attendant in the bathroom. I hate bathroom attendants. Absolutely hate them. And it's not that I'm opposed to someone making an honest living. It's more that I find it mildly offensive to pay someone to wash MY OWN HANDS. I can't be alone in feeling this way. Moreover, the bathroom attendant, in my opinion, just doesn't jive with a place that's meant to be somewhat divey. Am I wrong in thinking this? Wouldn't you think that a place featuring a guy in the bathroom with all sorts of breath fresheners and colognes would more fittingly toe the train tracks on the more affluent side of town? I mean, have you ever been at a pub or bar or whatever and said to yourself, "You know what'd make this better? A spritz of Cool Water." That just flies in the face of what a pub is supposed to be! I don't know. I obviously have very strong feelings concerning the matter. I just feel that a bathroom attendant at a pub/dive is akin to a bathroom attendant at a strip club. Really, who are you trying to fool? Everyone else or yourself? Wow. What a tangent. Where Finnegan's succeeds is in its outdoor seating, but really, that can be said about pretty much any and every other bar/restaurant on Lincoln Road. But Finnegan's also kind of fails in this regard in that the service outside is painfully slow. So in summation: lose the dude in the bathroom and focus your efforts on accommodating the folks outside a little more adeptly. Finnegan's has a fairly solid foundation upon which to build. I'm just not sure what's taking so long for them to do so.

Horrendous food. Very scary. They have a dip frier and everything goes here. Worst buffalo chicken sandwich I have ever had in my life. Servers are beyond rude. Place is super dirty. Avoid at all cost.
(1)Mickey M.
Here we go again! Went after a year of staying away and continue to get lipstick stained glasses. Also, during 2 for 1 happy hour, we were forced to have the 2 drinks on the table at one time...makes for a second warm beer. Last but not least....lose the men's bathroom attendant. He sits in there singing and his table takes up half the bathroom space. This isn't the Ritz, no attendant needed!!!
(1)Superdave S.
Ordered the chicken buffalo salad and it came in a plastic container. The salad looked like a frozen dinner. Also, I saw the bartender put her finger in someone's beer just before she gave it to the customer. Not good!
(1)ilke b.
i am talk about firt food i dont undertand irish pub and hummus ? what is that ? funny :) all fries not good test greasy,for couple of beer it's ok but not for eat. the waitress dress so bad all her butt coming out looks cheap.5 tables 1 waitress service really bad.
(2)Johnny T.
I may have met the angriest woman in South Beach. What can I say? I work fast. My group and I settled in for a drink or four but I never felt very comfortable. Between the waitress forgetting orders ("Reeed Striiippppeeee") and just plain not giving a damn, I thought I would take my chances inside and go straight to the source: the bartender. Our repartee went a little like this: Her: "What?!!" Me: "(gulp) Um, hi. Could I get a Red Stripe?" Her: glares Me: nervously smiles Her: *slams things around* *banging* *thrashing* *opens up beer* *slams it on bar* "$8!" Me: "Are you sure? It was only $6.50 outside (which is still too much for a d*mn Red Stripe)." Her : "$8!!" *squint* Me: (evidently this lady needs to know how I roll) "[redacted in case children are reading]!!!11!!!11!" Her: "Gimme the money ($6.50)!" Me: *counts out exactly $6.50* Her: *mutters something mean* Me: Walks out of bar, likely, never to return. I realize people have off days but for real for real? No. Don't treat customers like that.
(2)carolina s.
We went to this place on Monday, st patty's day, because we remembered they had happy hr mon-fri. We sat and received a less than friendly welcome. As we're ordering, we find out they're not having happy hr because it's st patty's. Alright, annoying but understandable. We order the full priced drinks, only for them to come watered down, half full, in shitty plastic cups, and to top it off, all brought to us by an unfriendly, and rude waitress. Never coming back.
(1)P H.
It's the only Irish joint around so it's not like they are motivated to be the best they can be. Bartenders are really nice. Wings aren't bad. I could do with some more rock on the jukebox vs rap but what can you do? Pretty pricey for an Irish pub though. Nearly $30 for two beers and a plate of wings. I'd expect them to be magical wings for that price!
(3)Eddie T.
If I could give zero stars I would. Been sitting here for 15 minutes and no one has stopped to help me. The service at this place sucks.
(1)Lis K.
Went to Finnegan's Road for lunch with my family, who were in town visiting. The waitress did not write down the order so only some of the food came out together. One of us waited a half an hour for hers to come out because the waitress forgot to put it in. When my husband's turkey wrap came out, it literally had one slice of turkey on it. ALL lettuce. Also, no mayo or mustard on it and none of these condiments were on the table. The only thing good were the bloody marys. I would not recommend this place for their food or service. Overpriced.
(2)Jeff M.
Living in Miami all my life, I'm very well aware of the fact that some places water down their alcohol and it doesn't really bother me too much, but this was ridiculous. We ordered our first round of Grey Goose and RedBull and noticed it was pretty weak, so I ordered the next round and asked her not to add the RedBull. Took a sip of what was supposed to be "straight" vodka and I would say that it was about 90% water. On the bright side, the waitress was very courteous and attentive. I know its not her fault what the bar does, so I still left her a good tip but will definitely never return to this place again. Come on Finnegan's, you guys are already ripping us off when you water it down, don't be that greedy!!
(1)Jonah K.
The Guiness here needs some work, the lines are quite dirty hence the flavor is not what it is supposed to be. The staff here is friendly and nice, we stopped in for a pint and to check out the gunshot due to this very comical story :http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/03/12/3281729/Âshots-fired-in-a-lincoln-road.html
(2)Quasona C.
Walked over here after leaving Ocean Drive and it definitely reminded me of a New York City bar so it was fine by me. The drinks were not overly priced so no complaints about that either. The crowd was decent, a few couples playing pool and the bar was not packed with drunk and crazed tourists. We were able to get a seat at the bar and enjoy the rest of our evening to the jukebox music being played in the background.
(3)Selena B.
Watched the Pats win the 2011-2012 AFC Championship Game here and that was 5 stars. Sat outside on Lincoln Road, three tv sets side by side so great view at all times, crowd was good, etc. The food was really cheap as well (for Lincoln Road or South Beach in general). I got chicken fingers and fries and they were ok - nothing great or special but just fine for a cheap bite - I would have paid twenty bucks for a bite to eat with that special space to watch that game. The service was a little slow but they were busy - and friendly. They served these really tall coors light mini kegs at the tables too which seemed like a lot of fun. I would recommend this place to watch a game. If you drink enough I'm sure the food would turn into something fantastic too! I originally rated this place four stars because it's really not much beyond that (might be a stretch), but I gave them five stars because they did NOT automatically add a tip to my check - so I tipped them more than the standard 20% that other bars usually tack onto the checks. I was really pleased with my (slow) service - I understand it was busy and am very grateful to have had a great experience to watch my home team win the AFC Championship.
(5)Mindy C.
The food is bar food and I am not even getting into that. The problem I have is the women's bathroom...leaking sink, handicap stall has NO DOOR (yeah ya heard me) and the only other stall had no toilet paper. Unacceptable. ...very disappointing. Management needs to get on their A Game.
(3)Desiree Q.
What keeps me going back to this place is the fact that no where else on Lincoln Road offers fast, fresh, & inexpensive food. HOWEVER, the service is terrible. They get away with it because 1. most of Lincoln Road has poor service & 2. it's a tourist attraction & where there are tourist, there are hungry people who will endure the painful/sluggish service. The pulled pork sandwich is good as well as the chicken finger platter. Both with french fries & no more than $10. The pastrami sandwich was good also. Came with a pickle & fries. I wasn't a fan of the coleslaw. They usually run some drink special (so ask about it, or you probably won't find out about it.) You won't see your waitress much either, so ask for everything you may need during your visit at the very beginning.
(2)Jessica P.
Great place to have a beer and people watch but under no circumstance would I order food again. The loaded nacho was 8 chips on a plastic plate with nacho cheese sauce and canned chili. Since I was not going to eat that I ordered a pulled chicken sandwich... again so disappointed. The chicken was not pulled it was barely cut and strange in color considering the BBQ sauce was in a to-go container on the side the chicken shouldn't have been pink. I had low expectations coming here but I thought it was hard to mess up frozen bar food. Boy was I proven wrong.
(1)Lia P.
Yuck people smoke in here. Is that allowed? I thought when food was served you can't do that. Either way it was nasty. Only went there to watch a little bit of football and have a drink. Literally had A drink, some horrible greasy snack and left. Won't be back.
(2)Christina L.
Sunday night. We arrived with a big group of 10-13 girls. Took forever for us to get anyone to pay us any attention. We ended up having to rearrange the tables to seat all of us together. After shifting the tables around in our heels and skirts, one of us had to go find the waitress and ask her to come take our orders. There was maybe about 8 other people in the bar and 2 waitresses. Why did we have to go directly to ask to order drinks?!? Drinks were watered down, too. There are better bars for a Sunday night. We picked the wrong one. Don't make the same mistake and settle for sh*tty service and watered-down drinks.
(2)Alex D.
Would give zero stars if possible. Cons (There are many): The service is aggressive, hostile, lazy, and ill-informed about whats on the menu. About a minute after being seated and shown the menu we were asked to give our orders and asking for a little more time to decide seemed to tick off the waitress. Menu is minute and has about 10 items total. I decided to order a sandwich (adding cheese is a dollar extra) and I got just that, bread and deli meat, no lettuce/tomato/garnishes/etc. The most surprising part was getting our food on small black plastic disposable plates. They cant even be bothered to wash dishes at this place. Food wasn't memorable but thats pretty much due to the fact that you're eating the plainest, ingredient-less sandwich on the planet. Lincoln Road eateries are pretty bad in general but this one might take the cake. Pros: One of the cheaper places on lincoln
(1)AshleyMarie O.
Late night brews with french fries & chicken wings
(4)Claudia R.
This place is only ok for drinking. I don't drink liquor only beer so can't comment on that. I only give it two stars because the beer was cold and had cool music. Other than that, service was terrible. We were taking napkins and utensils from the table next to us because if we waited for the waitress we would never get it. The food is mediocre at best. NOT worth the money. I had the wings and my husband the pulled pork sandwich with fries and cold slaw. Again, mediocre at best. Cole slaw is disgusting. I regretted spending my money there.
(2)Sharon W.
Finnegan's is a perfect spot to stop in and have a beer around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Of course, sitting outside on Lincoln is great, but even indoors is good as the doors are always open to let in the light and the breeze! The happy hour specials are good and the staff is friendly enough. Great selection of flavored vodkas! Just don't eat here! Ugh! If you go next door, you can order an excellent fish sandwich and onion rings from the Polar Bar.
(4)Jan N.
Not my first choice, but I end up here when I'm desperate! Cheezy and touristy... Not my style! I was here last St. Patrick's Day because everything else was ridiculously packed - all I have to say is thank goodness for shots and beer! Those made the visit much more bearable. It's a little harsh, I know, but that's my opinion!
(1)Christina V.
This was our last stop last weekend on date night. I had such a great time! The hostesses and servers were all really nice and friendly. We ended the night with a couple cocktails each, some chicken wings, and we split a pulled pork sandwich while watching the Heat game. Its allot more casual then many of the places you'll find on Lincoln Road which was fine for us we had walked around allot that day so we weren't looking for anything that made us put forth too much effort... a casual sports bar-ish place fit just perfectly into our mindset at the moment. The wings were awesome. Different then normal wings I've had but they were just right. Crunchy and not 'set your face on fire' hot. Actually the pulled pork sandwich wasn't bad either.. It usually goes one of two ways when you order pulled pork in my opinion.. horrible or delicious and I am glad to say that it was delicious. I will likely be back here because I was welcomed so warmly by all of the staff.
(4)michelle z.
I love the daytime bartender...Becky. She is AWESOME!! Will make you laugh and mix you up stuff that's not on the menu.
(4)Mindy G.
Slim food menu, no healthy options (no salads). People smoke inside (I thought people couldn't smoke inside if food is served)? Wasn't really fond of this place - not planning on going back. There are certainly better sports bars on the beach.
(2)Alissa W.
Friday night we walked over to Segrefrado on Lincoln for drinks but the wait was 20 minutes. Not to many bars open late in Lincoln so we came over here for drinks to people watch. yet it is a totally different vibe they being at Segrefrado it was cool to people watch, and just be able to relax and drink. I was actually surpirsed how crowded it was outside for such a dive bar.
(3)Gustavo A. L.
Sadly we stumbled upon this place by mistake, hoping that it was a real Irish place and lured by the bitter taste of an ice cold Guinness beer. Waitstaff sucks- these guys are focused on nothing - how can you collect a paycheck for such a dismal job, it was certainly reflected on my tip...or lack thereof- The food .... BLAH - Not even worth me wasting more words on this place, nothing to see here... keep walking.
(2)Carla L.
Wow.. no. Just not what it could be. Sure use the fact that its "Lincoln road" as an excuse to serve sub-par food at ridiculously high prices. The chips really were CHIPS .. not a cute reference to the british way of saying 'fries'. The roast beef sandwich was NOT on a hoagie, like they usually are but on a small roll, with such little meat I couldn't believe they were charging us $8 for it. The wings?? FRIED CHICKEN, no sauce. Battered like fried chicken, tasted like fried chicken, because thats what it was. IF you want them hot? Tabasco sauce for you .. Unless you are grabbing a beer and playing pool, skip it.
(1)Josh R.
This place sucked. We walked in because they had a pool table and we wanted a beer. After paying through the nose for a Guiness the unhappy unfriendly bartender didn't even take the time to pour it correctly. The place was dirty, staff was unfriendly, music from the juke box was being blasted through blown speakers so loud all you could hear was distorted bass and rattle...would not go back. Also the pool table was garbage, it looked like someone was doing carpentry work on it there was so much saw dust and filth on it.
(1)Hannah S.
Yeah, I have to agree with Michelle W on this one. Every place on Lincoln Road with prime people watching automatically gets an extra star - because it's totally worth it. There's nothing like sitting out on a Friday or Saturday night and watching the crazies walk by. We stopped in the other night and, predictably, met some such oddballs. :) Haha - but on the upside, we got to play with a cute bulldog. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it's a decent stop for a cocktail on a night spent cruising the beach.
(3)Tanjila A.
Decent place to grab a drink and snack after work. They give a discount to Lincoln Road workers, which is a plus. Service is kind of slow, and the live music is usually garbage and annoyingly loud. Drinks are very overpriced, just like everywhere on SoBe, but they aren't that bad and they have a decent selection. Food is what you would expect from a bar, nothing spectacular, but it satisfies. The hummus is pretty delicious.
(3)Franky A.
This place is such a dump but I always end up here because of their prime location on Lincoln Road. It's a shame that they don't clean this place up and actually serve quality food and drinks. Oh, yeah at least have a clean bathroom too. By far one of the nastiest bathrooms in all of the Western Hemisphere.
(1)Yislin C.
Finnnegan's Two is like the booty call of the bar world, you only come here cos you know it's cheap. Get your "sure thing" swerve on M-F, 4-7, 2-4-1 on everything. Arrive early, arrive late. Come thirsty, leave quenched.
(3)Michelle W.
The location of this place is probably the best thing about it. Nice place to have a beer outside with friends and watch the madness go by that is Lincoln Road. The service is hit or miss, sometimes it's quick, sometimes it's slow. Decent restrooms, eat before/after you come. Not much of a food selection here.
(3)Danielle H.
If i could give it zero stars i would. We get seated outside as we asked by our server. She doesn't come and take our drink order for about 7 minutes which was weird because there were probably four other tables there. The girl barley spoke english which would be ok but she barley understood what we were ordering. I had to explain we wanted fried mushrooms to start three times. Regardless the mushrooms came with our meals. It took forever to get our beers every time & i just saw the bartender standing around talking most of the time. We ordered wings and fish sandwiches. Nothing special about them, plan but got us full. I had to get up twice to ask our server for stuff because she never checked on us. Plus her ass cheeks were out the whole time. Even hooters has more class. I guess people like bare ass around there food, not sure. Then it took ten minutes to get our check. It was very empty inside and what should have been a 1 hour lunch tops took 2 hours. Very annoying. I'm a local and I'll never go back.
(1)Debbie A.
When i went to this place i was so frustrated and disappointed. When i got there the hostess was chit chatting with her friends so i took the liberty of doing her job and sitting my friends and family on one of the tables. Then the waitress comes, sees we have no menus and ask the hostess to please provide us with some. And the hostess loudly states " people think they can sit anywhere." Then proceeds to throw the menus on the table. I was so upset I asked for the manager which was Jason. However Jason took 45 minutes to swing by! He did "hooked" us up with drinks however they really watered them down. The food was overpriced and disgusting. The fries taste like seafood. Like gross! Im sorry first and last time. There are plenty of places to eat on Lincoln Road that are friendlier, more experienced and ran by mature people.
(1)Chris M.
7 dollar decent pour of guinness on lincoln road, not bad. otherwise, its every other o'neills, flannigans, not as bad as a bennigans, you've been to in your own hometown. staff was nicer than most lincoln road establishments, let us rough house and play pool til way way too late.
(3)Eve C.
Finnegan's Two is a good low-key spot to grab a drink and hang out with friends while people-watching on Lincoln Road. The drinks are potent and not too pricey, given the location. The staff is friendly, but service can be a little sparse when it's crowded. The key word at Finnegan's Two is "drink," as it's a bar. There's a limited menu available - but if you want some food with your booze, you're better off elsewhere, such as the Finnegan's on Ocean.

Order the Ruben Eggrolls and prepare to meet God!

A real rip off! On December 28, in the evening, I ordered a beer and some chicken wings. The place was not very busy, and after 20 minutes, I asked the blonde bartender about the wings, and she apologized about the slow service. A few minutes later, I asked for my check because I had to feed my parking meter. I gave her a $20 bill for a $7.08 check, and she gave me 12 one dollar bills in change which I later counted out after I left the place. It was bad enough for the poor service but to be cheated on the change is the worse. Avoid this place like the plague!

Been here a few times and will probably not be back for a while. Nothing bad but nothing to write home about either. Here's the skinny: Location: Solid. Conveniently located on Lincoln Rd, provides you a good avenue to explore other bars/restaurants. You can park in the Lincoln complex or try and get some street parking. Drink/Food: Full bar, prices are decent for Lincoln Rd and they have a 2 for 1 happy hour. They have a very limited menu. Service: Lags. Getting up from my seat and walking over to the bar is fine if Im by myself but I've had to do this on more than one occasion because of the lack of service. Maybe if Fin 2 was located somewhere else I'd have a different opinion but for now I tend to stay away and visit other spots on Lincoln.

Supposedly an Irish bar, but nobody who works there is Irish, or even a native English speaker for that matter. Always smells like spilled beer and old fryer oil and the service sucks.

Umm... it's called Finnegan's Two and NOT 'Finnegan's Too' like it says in the listing. Personally, I would prefer if they used the roman numeral II, but that's just me. The place has some potential. It's a very casual spot and kind of an alternative to the typical Lincoln Road fanfare. It's pretty much a sports bar with a collegiate feel to it. They have a small raised stage for bands and they're not afraid to crank up the tunes as well as the juke box, which could be a good thing.... or not. Last time I was there the juke box was blaring B-52's 'Love Shack' at 3pm in the afternoon. The bartender went over to the tuner to adjust the volume and I was about to thank her, because I thought she was going to turn it down or maybe even hit the Skip button. Instead she turned the volume UP. YIKES! Very scary. I finished my beer and got the hell outta there. Who needs to hear that song anymore, and louder at that?! : 0

Cool little bar in South Beach. Not a ton of action in there. but i don't really recall the time of night I was there. Stopped in for a quick car bomb. Not nearly enough Guinness to over take the shot I dropped in the glass. That meant no beer bubbling over. That also meant no 2nd drink.
(3)Maggie P.
Generally, I'm not a big fan of Finnegan's on the River, so I figured I'd be equally apathetic to the location on Lincoln Rd., but every time I come here I never have a problem. Decent priced drinks and laid back environment. Although it's not my favorite place on Lincoln Road to go for drinks, I will usually stop here when I'm with a fairly large group of girlfriends out on a night on the town.

I've had two experiences with this place, I should have known better than to give it that second chance. I waited to leave this review, knowing that the only words my fingers would tap out would be along the lines of "killkillkillkill" I like sports, and I like bars. I'm Irish by injection, too, so I thought this cool looking little bar on too-hip-for-you Lincoln Road would be great. I've never paid so much to wait so long for the misery of eating stale bread. They say hunger is the best spice. Anything tastes good when you're hungry. Not so. I *still* taste sawdust when I pass the place by. And St. Paddy's day was an experience in misery there. I didn't choose the place, and after an hour, we moved over to the Polar Bar next door. Not after complaining about the horrid service and the fact that the non-english speaking waitress actually refused to take a late-comer's order and didn't give back one of our friend's credit card back. Go to Zeke's. More beers, cheaper, and better service.
(1)Jess T.
Of course we found the "Irish bar" on Lincoln Rd. Don't be fooled, the only thing Irish about this bar was the name. Perfect place to split some average tasting apps, beer buckets, and pregame for the night ahead. My favorite part of my Sunday Funday at this bar was the amount of TV's airing all available games, and the vast amount of different football fan bases represented. The service at the tables is pretty slow and sparse, I would recommend sitting at the bar if you get there early enough.
(2)Rashid M.
I was only here to get a couple of drinks and didn't spend much time here. Nice atmosphere though and not too crowded.
(3)Laura B.
the first 2 times i came to finnegan's, the experiences weren't good.... i thought i'd give it one last try... today was the 3rd strike, and they're out... let's start by saying that there was a line of people waiting to be seated, and the hostess was nowhere to be found... my friend decided to go inside and ask for some service... they finally pointed us to a table outside, which had yet to be cleaned.... the last people's empty cups and tab were still sitting on the table.... we sat down and waited............................................Â.............. and waited, and waited, and waited............................................Â........and waited some more.... 30 minutes later, my friend got up again, to ask for some service... they finally sent a server, who walked up to the table and asked us what we wanted.... um............ how about a menu? by this point, i was irritated and ready to leave, but my friend convinced me to stay... we ordered chicken tenders, and a clam chowder... 25 minutes later, we were still waiting... they finally brought us our food, which was actually pretty good... we wanted water.... the server was nowhere to be found, so when we finally saw her again, we didn't even ask her to bring us the bill... we just handed her our credit cards.... as we were getting up, a couple stopped to ask us if we were done; they wanted our table.... we advised them to choose another spot... i will not be going back.
(1)Jenna M.
Overpriced and not as fun as Finnegan's One during happy hour.
(2)Carlos P.
This place is as low budget as it gets (presentation wise). Came here on a Saturday night to watch a college football game. Sat outside and ordered a blue moon (served in a plastic cup, but at least served with an orange slice). For my food, I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Fries were fine, the buffalo chicken portion was basically two flattened chicken strips. Reminded me of something you would buy in bulk at a sam's club in the frozen food section. Ketchup is in packets, silverware comes all plastic. Can't see myself coming back.
(2)Vanessa S.
I'm giving this place 3 stars because at the time it's precisely what I was looking for.... a bar open super late where we could sit outside and shoot the breeze... My beer was cold, the breeze was humid... mission accomplished... so to speak...
(3)Ericstevenc T.
Best place to watch games on the beach and they have another location on ocean drive if it gets to crowded and vice versa.
(5)judy n.
Service was alright. Great for people watching, or catching a game on one of the many tv screens (but no large flat screens to view). Full bar, with happy hour specials: 2-for-1 drinks between 4-7 pm weekdays I'm mainly reviewing this place for the BUFFALO WINGS. Yum! There's no sauciness to it, but they are battered and fried, but the flavor is all up in the wings (crust AND the meat itself)! with this spicy heat that just builds on itself... it's tasty, and not messy in the least (good for continue your shopping escapade on Lincoln Rd).
(3)oleg l.
Much attuned to most establishments of South Beach this is a sorry a$$ excuse for an Irish watering hole. Food is horrible and service is even worse - the owners apparently decided it would be a good idea to hire only young eastern european women for bartenders and servers. While sounds nice in theory it is nearly hilarious in practice as these girls have NO idea what they are doing. On my last (very last forever..) visit there about a month ago I had the nerve to sternly ask for my tab from the bartender, after she had ignored me for about 10 minutes while chatting with her friends. Her refusal to accommodate my request was accompanied by "F#ck you Bitch!" which was repeated to me several times in broken English and with much passion that can only be described as a defeated spirit lashing loose... Kudos to the owners and management of this place - I have been to a many Irish pubs in my lifetime as I grew up in Brooklyn and Finnegan's Two is without a doubt the worst one of all time!
(1)Luis G.
Just don't come here for the food.
(2)Kathy G.
First stop in my pub crawl. Perfect because it is a central location on Lincoln Road and it is big. Good music and good drinks. Service is always slow which is my usual complaint at this bar.
(3)Chris C.
Not that bad but kinda loud.
(2)Robert I.
Sausage fest! Horrible food. Bathroom attendant. Perfect for all the New York douches who visit Miami.
(2)Felecia W.
I went in here during the day waiting for some friends... I ordered a glass of wine and asked to see the menu. 1st of all, the menu has like 8 things on it. God forbid you ask for silverware, cause I did from the waitress and got this "are you kidding me?" look. When I asked the bartender I got the same look, then was handed some plastic utensils in plastic wrap! Thank god I was at the wrong bar. I went to the one on Ocean where they had a full menu, metal utensils and a bartender with a clue. There are SO many other places to go on Lincoln. Save your time and go somewhere worth it.
(2)katie s.
This place is good if you want something divey. They have strong drinks, good music and the people watching from outside is great. Service can be tough but they have good specials so be patient.
(3)Becky C.
This place scores major points with my boyfriend and I for having Strongbow cider available. Even better is that it was half price during happy hour - score! We each had 3 one evening while killing some time before going out to see our friends dj at 330 Lounge further down Lincoln Road. We were definitely a little bit tipsy and all for under $20... not bad! Our server was Angel and she was wonderful -- friendly and talkative, also very knowledgeable about the offerings/specials. The outdoor seating at their prime Lincoln Road spot is great for people watching.
(4)Tessie B.
Cool bar on Lincoln Road. Good place to have a drink before or after the movies.
(3)Paul W.
Aside from the fact that it can sometimes take a while to get service, even when you're standing at the bar and the place isn't that full, and the food menu is limited and is basic 'bar food", I've always had fun when I've come here. When there is a soccer game, Monday Night Football or other sporting event on TV, they usually mount a plasma screen outside so you can sit at a table, chat, sip your beer, watch the game and people watch during the commercials. I took a buddy here earlier this year to watch an NFL game...He's from New York, so he thought it was cool to watch football outside at night without freezing, while people are jogging or going past the place on rollerblades (welcome to Lincoln Rd. Ha ha.) On the weekends they've usually got cover bands playing here at night and the place always gets crowded.
(3)Jessica H.
Good Bits Location- sit outside and people watch Casual- Collegiate and sportsy, you don't feel like your being judged Bad Bits Crappy draft beer selection Slow and apathetic service The food was a joke. It tasted like they had gone into Costco's frozen foods aisle and reheated some frozen fish triangles, and cheap egg rolls. Luckily it was inexpensive. Do not eat here!
(2)david z.
Came here to watch some football and have a few drinks. The patio area is great for hanging out but the inside is not great. Can be very noisy, there were smokers, and wasn't very clean. I had their award winning wings which were very mediocre. Drinks specials are excellent though.
(3)Inthiaz S.
I assume because it was sunday why it was sooo empty but it was. the service is good,maybe due to its emptyness? it was as if we were bar hopping it was after eating and drinking at nexxxt cafe.it was also freakin hot and.... its alright
(2)Jose I.
The location is good, but the attention is really REALLY bad, been there 3 times with friends and the servers complete ignore us... Come here if the other restaurants are full or if you are in the mood to play pool and drink. The food is ok.
(2)Barney B.
What do you get for $6.50 here? A pint of Harp and bleeding ears. Awesome they played the game, but the volume was so loud and tinny, it was unbearable. Equally unbearable, an 'irish' pub that pours Guinness like it's Budweiser. The place smelled like they never clean their mops - and a mostly empty bar still required flagging down a bartender for another pint. Yes, I stayed for two - ears might have been bleeding, but the game was a good one.
(2)Luis O.
This place is nice and has good priced beers. It is perfect for people watching as you sit outside in the sun.
(4)Liz K.
We went here the night before we left our Miami vacation. Very nice bar on Lincoln Rd. We went on a Weds night so it wasn't that crowded. The staff was very friendly and they had a decent drink selection and lots of TVs. It's nice to have this option of a more laid back bar on Lincoln Rd.
(4)Pier R.
Ok to have drinks outside and to see people walking by that's it,do not expect super good service, but they really try!
(4)Maria L.
DO NOT GO HERE. I would give it less than one star if possible. The service was terrible- the bartender seemed like she had way too much to drink the night before- getting a beer was a 20 minute process. But she was nice, so at that point in the experience, the place deserved about 3 stars. HOWEVER the manager-seeming guy (yes, you with the black spiky hair) is a lunatic. We were ready to leave, and after not receiving our food after an hour and a half, we asked this guy behind the bar to cancel our order. He replied (in a very hostile manner) that it was behind the bar and had been for quite some time, and that we should have magically known that we had to retrieve it from the bar (which is funny because we had been ordering beers this whole time, and no one mentioned our food was up. Add that to the fact that the bartender asked us where we were sitting when we ordered). When we asked for a refund, he kept telling us they were on the house. That's great, but we already paid for them, we don't want them, we want to leave, so we'd just like a refund please. With that he proceeded to come around the bar (I kid you not) and get in the face of my boyfriend while yelling profanity-laced statements like "Don't F with me! I'll F with you right back!" This went on for about 15 minutes. Okay dude, we just wanted our seven bucks back, we do not want the cold chicken, and we want to go home. TOTAL PSYCHO. Stay away.
(1)Joseluis A.
finnegans too ... the problem with finnegans too is that they dont have that many good beers. i would rate them 4 stars if they had delirium, chimay .. the good stuff. so i always get guinness when im here, you cannot go wrong with a guinness. the food - i had it once and never again. theres a couple of pool tables and a stage where bands perform nightly. it could get pretty loud inside but theres tables outside too. service is ok, there are waitresses but apparently only until a certain time, you must go up to the bar after that. i dont love finnegans, but i dont hate it either.
(3)John K.
Probably the worst bartenders I've ever come across.They were inattentive throughout the night and several times my friends and I ordered two beers at a time because they were useless.This bar needs some real bartenders that can make people welcome and keep them supplied with drinks throughout their stay instead of these wannabe bunnies who couldn't care less about the service only the tip at the end.
(1)Josh S.
I've been going to Finnegan's for the past 8 years and I always have a good time there. The place has a great vibe, good music, has live bands playing all the time and great bartenders. Pretty much have everything you need for a great time and a good selection of beer and liquor. It's a very local place and the same people have been going for years and years, including me ;) . One problem I do have though is that the bathrooms are really nasty, probably the worst I have ever seen. But after a few beers, it doesn't matter much. I go to Finnegan's at least once a week and love it.
(4)courtney b.
Great little dive bar. Nice strong drinks for HH. 2 for 1 cant beat it. and it was nice to sit semi outside. Bartender was cool and everyone(staff and patrons) seemed friendly.
(3)Dan B.
The service here sucks. The food here sucks. The draught beer selection sucks. Only good thing about Finnegan's Two is the live band. When I went, there was some decent rock going on. It was also easy to find a table. Regarding the servers, they have these blank stares on their faces and one of the anorexic looking ones wanted to get by my friend so she just stood there and stared him down without condescending to say "excuse me." A cheery bunch they are!
(2)scott s.
I like this bar. My brother and his girlfriend go here all the time and its a great bar. Not your typical sobe bar. Its not trendy or fancy at all. Far from it. Just good people wanted to have a good time. Seriously people, you know where not to order food from, you walk into this place and just know not to eat here. You go here to drink, so if you had a bad meal here and you are complaining about it then use common sense next time and don't order food from a dirty bar.
(4)zendick h.
There are better places on Lincoln road (worse too but thats another review) OK drink prices, OK live music, (which can be "enjoyed" from better nearby locations), poor quality bar food
(2)Diana L.
Pretty good low key place to grab a few drinks after dinner. Sometimes they have a band playing inside, and pool tables. The drinks were ok, the only bad thing was that they had like one waiter for the entire bar so the service was really slow.
(3)Martin O.
When I use to work on Lincoln Road, this was the hangout of many of my office workers after work. There plenty of chairs outside and usually a free table inside. The drink prices are not too outrageous. Since there is outside seating, the smokers don't have to stand on a street corner.
(3)Aldo J.
watered down guiness.
(1)Wanda M.
Horrible service. I just asked the waitress for seltzer water and she replied "I DONT HAVE THAT" and walked away. Awful. Food is terrible. Would not come back here.
(1)James S.
In one sentence- the worst food ive eaten in Miami. Horrible service also. Went here to watch a heat game and suffered through the worst chicken wings ive ever had. You would think a bar playing sports on all the tv's would have some decent finger foods but you would be wrong. Place sucks, ill never go back.
(1)William O.
I've never eaten at Finnegan's, but something tells me that the food is likely reminiscent of the kind served at most other sport's bars with a name alluding to the Emerald Isle. It's probably unfair of me to say that, to assume little difference between Finnegan's and some other run of the mill "pub," but that's just the impression I get. Inside, you get pool tables, a bar that stretches across the length of the establishment, a digital jukebox, and an attendant in the bathroom. I hate bathroom attendants. Absolutely hate them. And it's not that I'm opposed to someone making an honest living. It's more that I find it mildly offensive to pay someone to wash MY OWN HANDS. I can't be alone in feeling this way. Moreover, the bathroom attendant, in my opinion, just doesn't jive with a place that's meant to be somewhat divey. Am I wrong in thinking this? Wouldn't you think that a place featuring a guy in the bathroom with all sorts of breath fresheners and colognes would more fittingly toe the train tracks on the more affluent side of town? I mean, have you ever been at a pub or bar or whatever and said to yourself, "You know what'd make this better? A spritz of Cool Water." That just flies in the face of what a pub is supposed to be! I don't know. I obviously have very strong feelings concerning the matter. I just feel that a bathroom attendant at a pub/dive is akin to a bathroom attendant at a strip club. Really, who are you trying to fool? Everyone else or yourself? Wow. What a tangent. Where Finnegan's succeeds is in its outdoor seating, but really, that can be said about pretty much any and every other bar/restaurant on Lincoln Road. But Finnegan's also kind of fails in this regard in that the service outside is painfully slow. So in summation: lose the dude in the bathroom and focus your efforts on accommodating the folks outside a little more adeptly. Finnegan's has a fairly solid foundation upon which to build. I'm just not sure what's taking so long for them to do so.
(3)fernando r.
Horrendous food. Very scary. They have a dip frier and everything goes here. Worst buffalo chicken sandwich I have ever had in my life. Servers are beyond rude. Place is super dirty. Avoid at all cost.
(1)Mickey M.
Here we go again! Went after a year of staying away and continue to get lipstick stained glasses. Also, during 2 for 1 happy hour, we were forced to have the 2 drinks on the table at one time...makes for a second warm beer. Last but not least....lose the men's bathroom attendant. He sits in there singing and his table takes up half the bathroom space. This isn't the Ritz, no attendant needed!!!
(1)Superdave S.
Ordered the chicken buffalo salad and it came in a plastic container. The salad looked like a frozen dinner. Also, I saw the bartender put her finger in someone's beer just before she gave it to the customer. Not good!
(1)ilke b.
i am talk about firt food i dont undertand irish pub and hummus ? what is that ? funny :) all fries not good test greasy,for couple of beer it's ok but not for eat. the waitress dress so bad all her butt coming out looks cheap.5 tables 1 waitress service really bad.
(2)Joseph O.
Definitely pass. Although it is one of the very few Irish spots around, I would skip it. Nothing Irish about it. The corn beef is far from the expectations I had..service was below average. The guy in the restroom that thought I was incapable of turning the faucet on and felt the need to do it for me (looking for a tip in doing so) was in for a rude awakening. Only positive was the skittles mixed drink, very tasty. PASS.
(1)Dan I. C.
Awesome Jukebox! Right on Lincoln Mall Rd this place has the best jukebox. No filters on this bad boy so you can hear all your favorite songs uncensored. The sound was high too which I like. Beyond that I just had a couple cold beers and relaxed. Good spot. Remember to tell them Dan sent you and Stay hungry!
(4)Alex R.
1 star is too much for this place! I figured Lincoln Road must be decent. No way! I ordered wings and French fries and I've had frozen wings in a bag at home way better than these double breaded ,hard , crusty , super salty wings with no flavor. I asked for ranch and got packaged Tatar sauce. If you come here order bottled beer only and go away quick! Oh and service sucked...
(1)Johnny T.
I may have met the angriest woman in South Beach. What can I say? I work fast. My group and I settled in for a drink or four but I never felt very comfortable. Between the waitress forgetting orders ("Reeed Striiippppeeee") and just plain not giving a damn, I thought I would take my chances inside and go straight to the source: the bartender. Our repartee went a little like this: Her: "What?!!" Me: "(gulp) Um, hi. Could I get a Red Stripe?" Her: glares Me: nervously smiles Her: *slams things around* *banging* *thrashing* *opens up beer* *slams it on bar* "$8!" Me: "Are you sure? It was only $6.50 outside (which is still too much for a d*mn Red Stripe)." Her : "$8!!" *squint* Me: (evidently this lady needs to know how I roll) "[redacted in case children are reading]!!!11!!!11!" Her: "Gimme the money ($6.50)!" Me: *counts out exactly $6.50* Her: *mutters something mean* Me: Walks out of bar, likely, never to return. I realize people have off days but for real for real? No. Don't treat customers like that.
(2)carolina s.
We went to this place on Monday, st patty's day, because we remembered they had happy hr mon-fri. We sat and received a less than friendly welcome. As we're ordering, we find out they're not having happy hr because it's st patty's. Alright, annoying but understandable. We order the full priced drinks, only for them to come watered down, half full, in shitty plastic cups, and to top it off, all brought to us by an unfriendly, and rude waitress. Never coming back.
(1)Eddie T.
If I could give zero stars I would. Been sitting here for 15 minutes and no one has stopped to help me. The service at this place sucks.
(1)P H.
It's the only Irish joint around so it's not like they are motivated to be the best they can be. Bartenders are really nice. Wings aren't bad. I could do with some more rock on the jukebox vs rap but what can you do? Pretty pricey for an Irish pub though. Nearly $30 for two beers and a plate of wings. I'd expect them to be magical wings for that price!
(3)Lis K.
Went to Finnegan's Road for lunch with my family, who were in town visiting. The waitress did not write down the order so only some of the food came out together. One of us waited a half an hour for hers to come out because the waitress forgot to put it in. When my husband's turkey wrap came out, it literally had one slice of turkey on it. ALL lettuce. Also, no mayo or mustard on it and none of these condiments were on the table. The only thing good were the bloody marys. I would not recommend this place for their food or service. Overpriced.
(2)Jeff M.
Living in Miami all my life, I'm very well aware of the fact that some places water down their alcohol and it doesn't really bother me too much, but this was ridiculous. We ordered our first round of Grey Goose and RedBull and noticed it was pretty weak, so I ordered the next round and asked her not to add the RedBull. Took a sip of what was supposed to be "straight" vodka and I would say that it was about 90% water. On the bright side, the waitress was very courteous and attentive. I know its not her fault what the bar does, so I still left her a good tip but will definitely never return to this place again. Come on Finnegan's, you guys are already ripping us off when you water it down, don't be that greedy!!
(1)Jonah K.
The Guiness here needs some work, the lines are quite dirty hence the flavor is not what it is supposed to be. The staff here is friendly and nice, we stopped in for a pint and to check out the gunshot due to this very comical story :http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/03/12/3281729/Âshots-fired-in-a-lincoln-road.html
(2)Quasona C.
Walked over here after leaving Ocean Drive and it definitely reminded me of a New York City bar so it was fine by me. The drinks were not overly priced so no complaints about that either. The crowd was decent, a few couples playing pool and the bar was not packed with drunk and crazed tourists. We were able to get a seat at the bar and enjoy the rest of our evening to the jukebox music being played in the background.
(3)Christina L.
Sunday night. We arrived with a big group of 10-13 girls. Took forever for us to get anyone to pay us any attention. We ended up having to rearrange the tables to seat all of us together. After shifting the tables around in our heels and skirts, one of us had to go find the waitress and ask her to come take our orders. There was maybe about 8 other people in the bar and 2 waitresses. Why did we have to go directly to ask to order drinks?!? Drinks were watered down, too. There are better bars for a Sunday night. We picked the wrong one. Don't make the same mistake and settle for sh*tty service and watered-down drinks.
(2)Selena B.
Watched the Pats win the 2011-2012 AFC Championship Game here and that was 5 stars. Sat outside on Lincoln Road, three tv sets side by side so great view at all times, crowd was good, etc. The food was really cheap as well (for Lincoln Road or South Beach in general). I got chicken fingers and fries and they were ok - nothing great or special but just fine for a cheap bite - I would have paid twenty bucks for a bite to eat with that special space to watch that game. The service was a little slow but they were busy - and friendly. They served these really tall coors light mini kegs at the tables too which seemed like a lot of fun. I would recommend this place to watch a game. If you drink enough I'm sure the food would turn into something fantastic too! I originally rated this place four stars because it's really not much beyond that (might be a stretch), but I gave them five stars because they did NOT automatically add a tip to my check - so I tipped them more than the standard 20% that other bars usually tack onto the checks. I was really pleased with my (slow) service - I understand it was busy and am very grateful to have had a great experience to watch my home team win the AFC Championship.
(5)Mindy C.
The food is bar food and I am not even getting into that. The problem I have is the women's bathroom...leaking sink, handicap stall has NO DOOR (yeah ya heard me) and the only other stall had no toilet paper. Unacceptable. ...very disappointing. Management needs to get on their A Game.
(3)Desiree Q.
What keeps me going back to this place is the fact that no where else on Lincoln Road offers fast, fresh, & inexpensive food. HOWEVER, the service is terrible. They get away with it because 1. most of Lincoln Road has poor service & 2. it's a tourist attraction & where there are tourist, there are hungry people who will endure the painful/sluggish service. The pulled pork sandwich is good as well as the chicken finger platter. Both with french fries & no more than $10. The pastrami sandwich was good also. Came with a pickle & fries. I wasn't a fan of the coleslaw. They usually run some drink special (so ask about it, or you probably won't find out about it.) You won't see your waitress much either, so ask for everything you may need during your visit at the very beginning.
(2)Jessica P.
Great place to have a beer and people watch but under no circumstance would I order food again. The loaded nacho was 8 chips on a plastic plate with nacho cheese sauce and canned chili. Since I was not going to eat that I ordered a pulled chicken sandwich... again so disappointed. The chicken was not pulled it was barely cut and strange in color considering the BBQ sauce was in a to-go container on the side the chicken shouldn't have been pink. I had low expectations coming here but I thought it was hard to mess up frozen bar food. Boy was I proven wrong.
(1)Lia P.
Yuck people smoke in here. Is that allowed? I thought when food was served you can't do that. Either way it was nasty. Only went there to watch a little bit of football and have a drink. Literally had A drink, some horrible greasy snack and left. Won't be back.
(2)Alex D.
Would give zero stars if possible. Cons (There are many): The service is aggressive, hostile, lazy, and ill-informed about whats on the menu. About a minute after being seated and shown the menu we were asked to give our orders and asking for a little more time to decide seemed to tick off the waitress. Menu is minute and has about 10 items total. I decided to order a sandwich (adding cheese is a dollar extra) and I got just that, bread and deli meat, no lettuce/tomato/garnishes/etc. The most surprising part was getting our food on small black plastic disposable plates. They cant even be bothered to wash dishes at this place. Food wasn't memorable but thats pretty much due to the fact that you're eating the plainest, ingredient-less sandwich on the planet. Lincoln Road eateries are pretty bad in general but this one might take the cake. Pros: One of the cheaper places on lincoln

This place is only ok for drinking. I don't drink liquor only beer so can't comment on that. I only give it two stars because the beer was cold and had cool music. Other than that, service was terrible. We were taking napkins and utensils from the table next to us because if we waited for the waitress we would never get it. The food is mediocre at best. NOT worth the money. I had the wings and my husband the pulled pork sandwich with fries and cold slaw. Again, mediocre at best. Cole slaw is disgusting. I regretted spending my money there.

Finnegan's is a perfect spot to stop in and have a beer around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Of course, sitting outside on Lincoln is great, but even indoors is good as the doors are always open to let in the light and the breeze! The happy hour specials are good and the staff is friendly enough. Great selection of flavored vodkas! Just don't eat here! Ugh! If you go next door, you can order an excellent fish sandwich and onion rings from the Polar Bar.

Not my first choice, but I end up here when I'm desperate! Cheezy and touristy... Not my style! I was here last St. Patrick's Day because everything else was ridiculously packed - all I have to say is thank goodness for shots and beer! Those made the visit much more bearable. It's a little harsh, I know, but that's my opinion!

This was our last stop last weekend on date night. I had such a great time! The hostesses and servers were all really nice and friendly. We ended the night with a couple cocktails each, some chicken wings, and we split a pulled pork sandwich while watching the Heat game. Its allot more casual then many of the places you'll find on Lincoln Road which was fine for us we had walked around allot that day so we weren't looking for anything that made us put forth too much effort... a casual sports bar-ish place fit just perfectly into our mindset at the moment. The wings were awesome. Different then normal wings I've had but they were just right. Crunchy and not 'set your face on fire' hot. Actually the pulled pork sandwich wasn't bad either.. It usually goes one of two ways when you order pulled pork in my opinion.. horrible or delicious and I am glad to say that it was delicious. I will likely be back here because I was welcomed so warmly by all of the staff.

I love the daytime bartender...Becky. She is AWESOME!! Will make you laugh and mix you up stuff that's not on the menu.
(4)Mindy G.
Slim food menu, no healthy options (no salads). People smoke inside (I thought people couldn't smoke inside if food is served)? Wasn't really fond of this place - not planning on going back. There are certainly better sports bars on the beach.
(2)Alissa W.
Friday night we walked over to Segrefrado on Lincoln for drinks but the wait was 20 minutes. Not to many bars open late in Lincoln so we came over here for drinks to people watch. yet it is a totally different vibe they being at Segrefrado it was cool to people watch, and just be able to relax and drink. I was actually surpirsed how crowded it was outside for such a dive bar.
(3)Gustavo A. L.
Sadly we stumbled upon this place by mistake, hoping that it was a real Irish place and lured by the bitter taste of an ice cold Guinness beer. Waitstaff sucks- these guys are focused on nothing - how can you collect a paycheck for such a dismal job, it was certainly reflected on my tip...or lack thereof- The food .... BLAH - Not even worth me wasting more words on this place, nothing to see here... keep walking.
(2)Carla L.
Wow.. no. Just not what it could be. Sure use the fact that its "Lincoln road" as an excuse to serve sub-par food at ridiculously high prices. The chips really were CHIPS .. not a cute reference to the british way of saying 'fries'. The roast beef sandwich was NOT on a hoagie, like they usually are but on a small roll, with such little meat I couldn't believe they were charging us $8 for it. The wings?? FRIED CHICKEN, no sauce. Battered like fried chicken, tasted like fried chicken, because thats what it was. IF you want them hot? Tabasco sauce for you .. Unless you are grabbing a beer and playing pool, skip it.
(1)Josh R.
This place sucked. We walked in because they had a pool table and we wanted a beer. After paying through the nose for a Guiness the unhappy unfriendly bartender didn't even take the time to pour it correctly. The place was dirty, staff was unfriendly, music from the juke box was being blasted through blown speakers so loud all you could hear was distorted bass and rattle...would not go back. Also the pool table was garbage, it looked like someone was doing carpentry work on it there was so much saw dust and filth on it.
(1)Hannah S.
Yeah, I have to agree with Michelle W on this one. Every place on Lincoln Road with prime people watching automatically gets an extra star - because it's totally worth it. There's nothing like sitting out on a Friday or Saturday night and watching the crazies walk by. We stopped in the other night and, predictably, met some such oddballs. :) Haha - but on the upside, we got to play with a cute bulldog. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it's a decent stop for a cocktail on a night spent cruising the beach.
(3)Tessie B.
Cool bar on Lincoln Road. Good place to have a drink before or after the movies.
(3)Tanjila A.
Decent place to grab a drink and snack after work. They give a discount to Lincoln Road workers, which is a plus. Service is kind of slow, and the live music is usually garbage and annoyingly loud. Drinks are very overpriced, just like everywhere on SoBe, but they aren't that bad and they have a decent selection. Food is what you would expect from a bar, nothing spectacular, but it satisfies. The hummus is pretty delicious.
(3)Franky A.
This place is such a dump but I always end up here because of their prime location on Lincoln Road. It's a shame that they don't clean this place up and actually serve quality food and drinks. Oh, yeah at least have a clean bathroom too. By far one of the nastiest bathrooms in all of the Western Hemisphere.
(1)Yislin C.
Finnnegan's Two is like the booty call of the bar world, you only come here cos you know it's cheap. Get your "sure thing" swerve on M-F, 4-7, 2-4-1 on everything. Arrive early, arrive late. Come thirsty, leave quenched.
(3)Michelle W.
The location of this place is probably the best thing about it. Nice place to have a beer outside with friends and watch the madness go by that is Lincoln Road. The service is hit or miss, sometimes it's quick, sometimes it's slow. Decent restrooms, eat before/after you come. Not much of a food selection here.
(3)Danielle H.
If i could give it zero stars i would. We get seated outside as we asked by our server. She doesn't come and take our drink order for about 7 minutes which was weird because there were probably four other tables there. The girl barley spoke english which would be ok but she barley understood what we were ordering. I had to explain we wanted fried mushrooms to start three times. Regardless the mushrooms came with our meals. It took forever to get our beers every time & i just saw the bartender standing around talking most of the time. We ordered wings and fish sandwiches. Nothing special about them, plan but got us full. I had to get up twice to ask our server for stuff because she never checked on us. Plus her ass cheeks were out the whole time. Even hooters has more class. I guess people like bare ass around there food, not sure. Then it took ten minutes to get our check. It was very empty inside and what should have been a 1 hour lunch tops took 2 hours. Very annoying. I'm a local and I'll never go back.
(1)Debbie A.
When i went to this place i was so frustrated and disappointed. When i got there the hostess was chit chatting with her friends so i took the liberty of doing her job and sitting my friends and family on one of the tables. Then the waitress comes, sees we have no menus and ask the hostess to please provide us with some. And the hostess loudly states " people think they can sit anywhere." Then proceeds to throw the menus on the table. I was so upset I asked for the manager which was Jason. However Jason took 45 minutes to swing by! He did "hooked" us up with drinks however they really watered them down. The food was overpriced and disgusting. The fries taste like seafood. Like gross! Im sorry first and last time. There are plenty of places to eat on Lincoln Road that are friendlier, more experienced and ran by mature people.
(1)Eve C.
Finnegan's Two is a good low-key spot to grab a drink and hang out with friends while people-watching on Lincoln Road. The drinks are potent and not too pricey, given the location. The staff is friendly, but service can be a little sparse when it's crowded. The key word at Finnegan's Two is "drink," as it's a bar. There's a limited menu available - but if you want some food with your booze, you're better off elsewhere, such as the Finnegan's on Ocean.
(3)Chris M.
7 dollar decent pour of guinness on lincoln road, not bad. otherwise, its every other o'neills, flannigans, not as bad as a bennigans, you've been to in your own hometown. staff was nicer than most lincoln road establishments, let us rough house and play pool til way way too late.
(3)Shante H.
Order the Ruben Eggrolls and prepare to meet God!
(4)William W.
A real rip off! On December 28, in the evening, I ordered a beer and some chicken wings. The place was not very busy, and after 20 minutes, I asked the blonde bartender about the wings, and she apologized about the slow service. A few minutes later, I asked for my check because I had to feed my parking meter. I gave her a $20 bill for a $7.08 check, and she gave me 12 one dollar bills in change which I later counted out after I left the place. It was bad enough for the poor service but to be cheated on the change is the worse. Avoid this place like the plague!
(1)Greg B.
Been here a few times and will probably not be back for a while. Nothing bad but nothing to write home about either. Here's the skinny: Location: Solid. Conveniently located on Lincoln Rd, provides you a good avenue to explore other bars/restaurants. You can park in the Lincoln complex or try and get some street parking. Drink/Food: Full bar, prices are decent for Lincoln Rd and they have a 2 for 1 happy hour. They have a very limited menu. Service: Lags. Getting up from my seat and walking over to the bar is fine if Im by myself but I've had to do this on more than one occasion because of the lack of service. Maybe if Fin 2 was located somewhere else I'd have a different opinion but for now I tend to stay away and visit other spots on Lincoln.
(2)Andrew J.
Supposedly an Irish bar, but nobody who works there is Irish, or even a native English speaker for that matter. Always smells like spilled beer and old fryer oil and the service sucks.
(2)Liz K.
We went here the night before we left our Miami vacation. Very nice bar on Lincoln Rd. We went on a Weds night so it wasn't that crowded. The staff was very friendly and they had a decent drink selection and lots of TVs. It's nice to have this option of a more laid back bar on Lincoln Rd.
(4)Pier R.
Ok to have drinks outside and to see people walking by that's it,do not expect super good service, but they really try!
(4)Marcos R.
Umm... it's called Finnegan's Two and NOT 'Finnegan's Too' like it says in the listing. Personally, I would prefer if they used the roman numeral II, but that's just me. The place has some potential. It's a very casual spot and kind of an alternative to the typical Lincoln Road fanfare. It's pretty much a sports bar with a collegiate feel to it. They have a small raised stage for bands and they're not afraid to crank up the tunes as well as the juke box, which could be a good thing.... or not. Last time I was there the juke box was blaring B-52's 'Love Shack' at 3pm in the afternoon. The bartender went over to the tuner to adjust the volume and I was about to thank her, because I thought she was going to turn it down or maybe even hit the Skip button. Instead she turned the volume UP. YIKES! Very scary. I finished my beer and got the hell outta there. Who needs to hear that song anymore, and louder at that?! : 0
(3)jaelanne s.
I've had two experiences with this place, I should have known better than to give it that second chance. I waited to leave this review, knowing that the only words my fingers would tap out would be along the lines of "killkillkillkill" I like sports, and I like bars. I'm Irish by injection, too, so I thought this cool looking little bar on too-hip-for-you Lincoln Road would be great. I've never paid so much to wait so long for the misery of eating stale bread. They say hunger is the best spice. Anything tastes good when you're hungry. Not so. I *still* taste sawdust when I pass the place by. And St. Paddy's day was an experience in misery there. I didn't choose the place, and after an hour, we moved over to the Polar Bar next door. Not after complaining about the horrid service and the fact that the non-english speaking waitress actually refused to take a late-comer's order and didn't give back one of our friend's credit card back. Go to Zeke's. More beers, cheaper, and better service.
(1)Jess T.
Of course we found the "Irish bar" on Lincoln Rd. Don't be fooled, the only thing Irish about this bar was the name. Perfect place to split some average tasting apps, beer buckets, and pregame for the night ahead. My favorite part of my Sunday Funday at this bar was the amount of TV's airing all available games, and the vast amount of different football fan bases represented. The service at the tables is pretty slow and sparse, I would recommend sitting at the bar if you get there early enough.
(2)Rashid M.
I was only here to get a couple of drinks and didn't spend much time here. Nice atmosphere though and not too crowded.
(3)Dan B.
The service here sucks. The food here sucks. The draught beer selection sucks. Only good thing about Finnegan's Two is the live band. When I went, there was some decent rock going on. It was also easy to find a table. Regarding the servers, they have these blank stares on their faces and one of the anorexic looking ones wanted to get by my friend so she just stood there and stared him down without condescending to say "excuse me." A cheery bunch they are!
(2)Laura B.
the first 2 times i came to finnegan's, the experiences weren't good.... i thought i'd give it one last try... today was the 3rd strike, and they're out... let's start by saying that there was a line of people waiting to be seated, and the hostess was nowhere to be found... my friend decided to go inside and ask for some service... they finally pointed us to a table outside, which had yet to be cleaned.... the last people's empty cups and tab were still sitting on the table.... we sat down and waited............................................Â.............. and waited, and waited, and waited............................................Â........and waited some more.... 30 minutes later, my friend got up again, to ask for some service... they finally sent a server, who walked up to the table and asked us what we wanted.... um............ how about a menu? by this point, i was irritated and ready to leave, but my friend convinced me to stay... we ordered chicken tenders, and a clam chowder... 25 minutes later, we were still waiting... they finally brought us our food, which was actually pretty good... we wanted water.... the server was nowhere to be found, so when we finally saw her again, we didn't even ask her to bring us the bill... we just handed her our credit cards.... as we were getting up, a couple stopped to ask us if we were done; they wanted our table.... we advised them to choose another spot... i will not be going back.
(1)Jenna M.
Overpriced and not as fun as Finnegan's One during happy hour.
(2)Michael L.
Cool little bar in South Beach. Not a ton of action in there. but i don't really recall the time of night I was there. Stopped in for a quick car bomb. Not nearly enough Guinness to over take the shot I dropped in the glass. That meant no beer bubbling over. That also meant no 2nd drink.
(3)Carlos P.
This place is as low budget as it gets (presentation wise). Came here on a Saturday night to watch a college football game. Sat outside and ordered a blue moon (served in a plastic cup, but at least served with an orange slice). For my food, I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Fries were fine, the buffalo chicken portion was basically two flattened chicken strips. Reminded me of something you would buy in bulk at a sam's club in the frozen food section. Ketchup is in packets, silverware comes all plastic. Can't see myself coming back.
(2)Maggie P.
Generally, I'm not a big fan of Finnegan's on the River, so I figured I'd be equally apathetic to the location on Lincoln Rd., but every time I come here I never have a problem. Decent priced drinks and laid back environment. Although it's not my favorite place on Lincoln Road to go for drinks, I will usually stop here when I'm with a fairly large group of girlfriends out on a night on the town.
(3)Vanessa S.
I'm giving this place 3 stars because at the time it's precisely what I was looking for.... a bar open super late where we could sit outside and shoot the breeze... My beer was cold, the breeze was humid... mission accomplished... so to speak...
(3)Ericstevenc T.
Best place to watch games on the beach and they have another location on ocean drive if it gets to crowded and vice versa.
(5)oleg l.
Much attuned to most establishments of South Beach this is a sorry a$$ excuse for an Irish watering hole. Food is horrible and service is even worse - the owners apparently decided it would be a good idea to hire only young eastern european women for bartenders and servers. While sounds nice in theory it is nearly hilarious in practice as these girls have NO idea what they are doing. On my last (very last forever..) visit there about a month ago I had the nerve to sternly ask for my tab from the bartender, after she had ignored me for about 10 minutes while chatting with her friends. Her refusal to accommodate my request was accompanied by "F#ck you Bitch!" which was repeated to me several times in broken English and with much passion that can only be described as a defeated spirit lashing loose... Kudos to the owners and management of this place - I have been to a many Irish pubs in my lifetime as I grew up in Brooklyn and Finnegan's Two is without a doubt the worst one of all time!
(1)judy n.
Service was alright. Great for people watching, or catching a game on one of the many tv screens (but no large flat screens to view). Full bar, with happy hour specials: 2-for-1 drinks between 4-7 pm weekdays I'm mainly reviewing this place for the BUFFALO WINGS. Yum! There's no sauciness to it, but they are battered and fried, but the flavor is all up in the wings (crust AND the meat itself)! with this spicy heat that just builds on itself... it's tasty, and not messy in the least (good for continue your shopping escapade on Lincoln Rd).
(3)Luis G.
Just don't come here for the food.
(2)Kathy G.
First stop in my pub crawl. Perfect because it is a central location on Lincoln Road and it is big. Good music and good drinks. Service is always slow which is my usual complaint at this bar.
(3)Felecia W.
I went in here during the day waiting for some friends... I ordered a glass of wine and asked to see the menu. 1st of all, the menu has like 8 things on it. God forbid you ask for silverware, cause I did from the waitress and got this "are you kidding me?" look. When I asked the bartender I got the same look, then was handed some plastic utensils in plastic wrap! Thank god I was at the wrong bar. I went to the one on Ocean where they had a full menu, metal utensils and a bartender with a clue. There are SO many other places to go on Lincoln. Save your time and go somewhere worth it.
(2)katie s.
This place is good if you want something divey. They have strong drinks, good music and the people watching from outside is great. Service can be tough but they have good specials so be patient.
(3)Becky C.
This place scores major points with my boyfriend and I for having Strongbow cider available. Even better is that it was half price during happy hour - score! We each had 3 one evening while killing some time before going out to see our friends dj at 330 Lounge further down Lincoln Road. We were definitely a little bit tipsy and all for under $20... not bad! Our server was Angel and she was wonderful -- friendly and talkative, also very knowledgeable about the offerings/specials. The outdoor seating at their prime Lincoln Road spot is great for people watching.
(4)Paul W.
Aside from the fact that it can sometimes take a while to get service, even when you're standing at the bar and the place isn't that full, and the food menu is limited and is basic 'bar food", I've always had fun when I've come here. When there is a soccer game, Monday Night Football or other sporting event on TV, they usually mount a plasma screen outside so you can sit at a table, chat, sip your beer, watch the game and people watch during the commercials. I took a buddy here earlier this year to watch an NFL game...He's from New York, so he thought it was cool to watch football outside at night without freezing, while people are jogging or going past the place on rollerblades (welcome to Lincoln Rd. Ha ha.) On the weekends they've usually got cover bands playing here at night and the place always gets crowded.
(3)Jessica H.
Good Bits Location- sit outside and people watch Casual- Collegiate and sportsy, you don't feel like your being judged Bad Bits Crappy draft beer selection Slow and apathetic service The food was a joke. It tasted like they had gone into Costco's frozen foods aisle and reheated some frozen fish triangles, and cheap egg rolls. Luckily it was inexpensive. Do not eat here!
(2)david z.
Came here to watch some football and have a few drinks. The patio area is great for hanging out but the inside is not great. Can be very noisy, there were smokers, and wasn't very clean. I had their award winning wings which were very mediocre. Drinks specials are excellent though.
(3)Inthiaz S.
I assume because it was sunday why it was sooo empty but it was. the service is good,maybe due to its emptyness? it was as if we were bar hopping it was after eating and drinking at nexxxt cafe.it was also freakin hot and.... its alright
(2)Jose I.
The location is good, but the attention is really REALLY bad, been there 3 times with friends and the servers complete ignore us... Come here if the other restaurants are full or if you are in the mood to play pool and drink. The food is ok.
(2)Chris C.
Not that bad but kinda loud.
(2)Barney B.
What do you get for $6.50 here? A pint of Harp and bleeding ears. Awesome they played the game, but the volume was so loud and tinny, it was unbearable. Equally unbearable, an 'irish' pub that pours Guinness like it's Budweiser. The place smelled like they never clean their mops - and a mostly empty bar still required flagging down a bartender for another pint. Yes, I stayed for two - ears might have been bleeding, but the game was a good one.
(2)Robert I.
Sausage fest! Horrible food. Bathroom attendant. Perfect for all the New York douches who visit Miami.
(2)Luis O.
This place is nice and has good priced beers. It is perfect for people watching as you sit outside in the sun.
(4)Maria L.
DO NOT GO HERE. I would give it less than one star if possible. The service was terrible- the bartender seemed like she had way too much to drink the night before- getting a beer was a 20 minute process. But she was nice, so at that point in the experience, the place deserved about 3 stars. HOWEVER the manager-seeming guy (yes, you with the black spiky hair) is a lunatic. We were ready to leave, and after not receiving our food after an hour and a half, we asked this guy behind the bar to cancel our order. He replied (in a very hostile manner) that it was behind the bar and had been for quite some time, and that we should have magically known that we had to retrieve it from the bar (which is funny because we had been ordering beers this whole time, and no one mentioned our food was up. Add that to the fact that the bartender asked us where we were sitting when we ordered). When we asked for a refund, he kept telling us they were on the house. That's great, but we already paid for them, we don't want them, we want to leave, so we'd just like a refund please. With that he proceeded to come around the bar (I kid you not) and get in the face of my boyfriend while yelling profanity-laced statements like "Don't F with me! I'll F with you right back!" This went on for about 15 minutes. Okay dude, we just wanted our seven bucks back, we do not want the cold chicken, and we want to go home. TOTAL PSYCHO. Stay away.
(1)Joseluis A.
finnegans too ... the problem with finnegans too is that they dont have that many good beers. i would rate them 4 stars if they had delirium, chimay .. the good stuff. so i always get guinness when im here, you cannot go wrong with a guinness. the food - i had it once and never again. theres a couple of pool tables and a stage where bands perform nightly. it could get pretty loud inside but theres tables outside too. service is ok, there are waitresses but apparently only until a certain time, you must go up to the bar after that. i dont love finnegans, but i dont hate it either.
(3)John K.
Probably the worst bartenders I've ever come across.They were inattentive throughout the night and several times my friends and I ordered two beers at a time because they were useless.This bar needs some real bartenders that can make people welcome and keep them supplied with drinks throughout their stay instead of these wannabe bunnies who couldn't care less about the service only the tip at the end.
(1)Josh S.
I've been going to Finnegan's for the past 8 years and I always have a good time there. The place has a great vibe, good music, has live bands playing all the time and great bartenders. Pretty much have everything you need for a great time and a good selection of beer and liquor. It's a very local place and the same people have been going for years and years, including me ;) . One problem I do have though is that the bathrooms are really nasty, probably the worst I have ever seen. But after a few beers, it doesn't matter much. I go to Finnegan's at least once a week and love it.
(4)courtney b.
Great little dive bar. Nice strong drinks for HH. 2 for 1 cant beat it. and it was nice to sit semi outside. Bartender was cool and everyone(staff and patrons) seemed friendly.
(3)scott s.
I like this bar. My brother and his girlfriend go here all the time and its a great bar. Not your typical sobe bar. Its not trendy or fancy at all. Far from it. Just good people wanted to have a good time. Seriously people, you know where not to order food from, you walk into this place and just know not to eat here. You go here to drink, so if you had a bad meal here and you are complaining about it then use common sense next time and don't order food from a dirty bar.
(4)zendick h.
There are better places on Lincoln road (worse too but thats another review) OK drink prices, OK live music, (which can be "enjoyed" from better nearby locations), poor quality bar food
(2)Diana L.
Pretty good low key place to grab a few drinks after dinner. Sometimes they have a band playing inside, and pool tables. The drinks were ok, the only bad thing was that they had like one waiter for the entire bar so the service was really slow.
(3)Martin O.
When I use to work on Lincoln Road, this was the hangout of many of my office workers after work. There plenty of chairs outside and usually a free table inside. The drink prices are not too outrageous. Since there is outside seating, the smokers don't have to stand on a street corner.
(3)Aldo J.
watered down guiness.
(1)Anthony S.
Decent place, not great. Not bad. Innovative egg rolls with things like a Reuben or Cuban sandwich inside. Cute bartenders. Too bad they allow smoking, at the bar, in the middle of someone's' meal. Plenty of more enlightened bars on the beach....
(3)Sheila A.
What they call a Ruben sandwich was rubbish! The worst sandwich I ever had. Drinks were ok, but served without a napkin or coaster.
(1)Iris G.
Horrible service. The waitresses are semi-asleep and hung over. Kind of a downer when we get there hyped up to drink and your waitress asks you if you are sure you want to drink,?!?!?!? Definitely not the place to be if you are in party mode. But!!!!! Two for one drink deal, so if you don't mind half drunk waitresses and you are there to get more for your money. This is the place for you.
(2)James L.
The service here was really nice, also I liked how the employee's greated me with a smile. I saw they have this huge beer dispenser they use on Sunday's they told me for 18$ which is pretty good. They have daily 4 dollar beer specials, pool tables, a juke box, and plenty of tv's to keep you busy and entertained. The reason why I gave it a 3 is because it just feels outdated inside. The TV's are too small, everything just feels old. It feels as if the place needs some remodeling. Everything else in lincoln road has been stepping their game up and this place should too.
(3)Deepan M.
I have been to the other Finnegan locations and this was the first time at this location. We got there at 6:58 PM. Our waitress was amazing and got all of us in for happy hour with two drinks each. The drinks kept coming and the fried food was quite tasty. I have had food at the other locations and was not very good. We only got appetizers but they were done right. The atmosphere on Lincoln Road is always fun and it continued into Finnegan's. Highly recommended for a great happy hour!
(5)Trae S.
I went to Finnegan's road with a group of college friends to watch our alma mater's basketball game during a reunion weekend, and we all agreed that we wouldn't go back. The food was mediocre at best (even for bar food), and sadly, this was the least bad part of the total experience. The service was horrific, the TV audio was completely busted, there was a persistent rancid cleaning solution smell lingering in the air, and the bathrooms were disgusting. There was also a men's room attendant working for tips at 330pm - seriously?! All of this said, the most hilarious moment of our adventure was when (before we had even ordered), the waitress asked us if we "really needed" our six menus. We gave up all but two and shared. There were a total of six other people in the entire establishment at this point. We counted. For a location in the Lincoln Road Mall, it was just so bad. It's very likely that you'd get a better crappy Irish bar experience pretty much anywhere else.
(2)Paula V.
First time here, service is friendly, our waitress didn't even bother us like most places we go to, polite and proactive, I hate the fact the music won't let us listen to the game and the place next door is blasting Spanish music so both places combine make it hard to enjoy the game, we ordered the chicken wrap and chicken sandwich both were goods, the French fries were delicious, fresh and crunchy!!! Giving 2 stars because of the ambiance. Jessica was awesome.
(2)Hector A.

$19 for an LIT this place is a joke. How can a regular mixed drink be $10? But a LIT $19 never going back watered down drinks as well. Terrible

The waiters are confused and the food was overpriced and nasty. The nachos had microwaved chicken, no salsa or veggies and over processed canned cheese for $14. Don't eat here it was the worst.

Just your regular 'ol bar. Nothing special! But come out for 2 for 1 drink specials during happy hour.

Open late cheapest drinks on Lincoln (dont expect it to be too cheap) and did i mention Open Late? their pours are pretty standard. Nothing to exceptional about the place. i wanted a place that had shots for under $15 and that was open late. it fit the bill

One word...shabby. This place is terrible. The food is a low quality with horrible prep. The servers are lazy with an i don't give a hoot attitude ... "I didn't make it"was the response to a question about a sloppily made rueben sandwich. Skip this place.

Saturday, OCT 12: I'm a local. So, check this out. I go in on Saturday around 5pm. Sign reads "happy hour 4-7 ... 2x1 beers" (see pic attached) After I ordered another round, I confirmed with the server the 2x1. She says "no, that's for Monday thru Friday only..." She then goes in quickly and comes out even quicker to wipe the sign clean. I asked for the manager three times. This requests were ignored. I was, though, happy with the server's quality of work and did not want to cause a scene, as I saw the server taking it rather personal. I'm a local and I generally enjoy this bar. However, what went on this time is unacceptable, even for Miami. Totally see tourists falling for this, but I don't think this is good or honest practice. I will stop by later today and ask for the manager again. More soon. Good spot for football / beer on Sunday. **************************************************Â******** UPDATE: Sunday, OCT 13 Around 2.15PM, I went in and asked for the manager. Manager's name not relevant. My argument, after explaining the experience the day before, was to explain to the manager that there were a couple of options available at this stage: Partial refund or any other gesture of goodwill; or I would report this incident. Perhaps it sounded like a threat, now that I think about it. Manager checked with the server in front of me (in Spanish), while it was admitted that the request for a manager had been ignored at the time, after the server failed to truly understand what it was going on. Manager then explained that it was the "other side of the sign that was meant to be read by the public", not the side that was facing me and anyone walking to the venue on Michigan Ave, headed northbound. Really? There was no apology offered and to my surprise, the manager also took this complaint in a very personal manner, and basically said that they had enough customers and was not too concerned to lose me as a customer. (I'm paraphrasing here) For the most part, the manager was yelling at me and employed a very argumentative tone, even interrupting me. (Impressive) Resolution: None from Finnegan's.
