So many great veggie burger options (green lentil, portobello mushroom, black bean) and you can mix and match toppings, sauces and breads. Great options for vegetarians and vegans alike.
Brad DavisSeptember 28, 2015Good choose your own Bloody Mary experience...kind of like those choose your path backs from back in the day...take the Bloody Mary menu sheet and circle the stuff you want in...it's that simple.
Recommend fish and chips, boxties, lux on parsnip pancakes. Chocolate box is a good desert, unexpected in a pub. Live music is awesome.
TOMSMay 30, 2013For the most fun dive-bar experience, you'll have to join the perfect blend of hilarious tourists & hilarious locals at Finn McCool's on Main. Really good bad cover music. Know what we mean?
The side dish of Seasonal Roasted Vegetables are yummy. Ask for them with a side of Ranch Dressing.
BBC AMERICAJanuary 25, 20116 Nations Rugby Championship will be shown here. Tradition is important to this pub, the bar was shipped over from Dublin and they host live traditional Irish music performances. Brunch is 12-4pm.
Holly W.June 29, 2014Great pub food. Try their burgers. Good place to watch the World Cup. Nice location near the beach.
J MSeptember 6, 2011Finn McCools really does have the best fish & chips around. The Finn McCools salmon is pretty great too.- On Sunday's starting at 5:00pm they always have great live traditional Irish music
Lauren DelfinoOctober 9, 2011I love the bands they have-- never really too packed and a slightly older crowd-- aka not a lot of douchers thank god!!
Finn McCool's on Main Street in #SantaMonica - Rocking the Irish
Joe JohnsonNovember 23, 2013When they have it in stock, try the red breast Irish whisky. A rare treat indeed.
Optimator on tap! Happy hour 12-7 M-F and 12-4 Sat & Sun.
Make sure to go when there is live music. Michael Kelly on Tuesdays, Damian Joyce on Wednesdays, Simon & Sid on Thursdays.
Paras BhaktaApril 2, 2010Food is average. I suggest grab a drink here then head to one of my favorite Wolfgang Puck places: Chinois on Main
