Editorial Review for Finnerty's Irish Pub – by Lucy Cohen Blatter

In Short
Since relocating from 3rd Avenue to 2nd Avenue, this dive bar has shed its old-man-pub vibe and doubled in size. Pop and classic rock music blasts from an MP3 jukebox as neighborhood regulars and NYU undergrads play foosball, shoot pool, watch sports and throw darts. While there are plenty of activities to keep patrons busy, it's the cheap booze and mixed drinks served in pint glasses that keep them coming back for more.

Hits: The laid-back feel, friendly bartenders and cheap pitchers of beer are a nice alternative to some of the neighborhood's more overpriced lounges.

Misses: The smell of stale beer, too-loud music and largely collegiate crowd give the distinctive feel of a frat party--minus the free drinks.

Now here's a place to go for AWESOME drinks for a great price and a buzz you will or wont remember! Thats up to you!!!!Also a good place for beer lovers.Nothing like a bottle of beer straight out the ICE. Love the doormen who might suddenly jump on the bar and start dancing.......(sometimes the shirts come off...). The bartenders are for the most part cool and if you feel like having a conversation they are there for you but also a great place if you just want to sit and have a quiet drink.The staff makes sure you wont be disturbed by anyone.If you feel like playing darts,pool,boardgames etc.Finnerty's is a Fantastic place for that, plenty to choose from! So I say go experience the place for yourself and HAVE FUN!

I was a regular at the old location on 3rd avenue and have recently moved to 2nd avenue and to my surprise so did Finnerty's. It used to be a great NYU hangout but now it is NYU plus an older age group. Great place to meet new people. Still the very relaxed fun. With a few great additions like a pool table and the best photo booth. I have become the fan of the PBR tall boys. The bartenders are the best . I am so glad to be back in town and have Finnertys at my door step. Check it out. You will love it!!!!!!!!!

Editor's Review

A crowd dominated by NYU students and young professionals gets rowdy at this one-time dive for old-timey regulars, but mixed drinks served in pint glasses make it worthwhile no matter who you are.  See the full editorial review.
