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.

This is the most unpretentious, fun, and chill bar I know in the city (lived here for six years so far). First things first, the drink are cheap and big. Mixed drinks come in pint glasses, I don't know anywhere else that does that. On many nights the bartenders or other staff will buy me a shot! I always leave drunk and happy ;) If you are in the mood for pool, darts, buckhunter (I didn't even know I liked arcade games till I played this one), foosball, watching the game or just chatting with friends, this is a great place. I often meet my friends here with the plan to start drinking and go somewhere else, but we never leave! Sometimes we'll venture out, but we always end up back at Fins! It's a nice weekday place to bring pizza or order delivery and accompany it with cheap beer. A pizza from the new Artichoke across 2nd ave on 14th is a match made in heaven with a pitcher of beer and good company. The weekends can get busy and loud during peak hours, but you just have to deal... Lastly, the staff is friendly accommodating and cute! Being a girl, I've never been treated so well by female bartenders who care just as much about me as other patrons. The doormen are hilarious and always have their eye out for things going wrong, and some of them are hot! All in all, this is a great chill place to hang out, drink and have fun!
Pros: big drinks, fun people, pool and games
Cons: spend too much time here

I work in the east village which we all know has a thousand bars. How about one with great personality. I found it. Was walking up 2nd ave and saw the most beautiful sign. $1.00 mugs everyday from 5pm to 8pm. It was a hot one out there so I stopped in. The dollar mugs was the bonus but there are fabulous bartenders with great personalities. I love to play pool and there was the table. The bar is roomy and the atmosphere is relaxing. I now bring my co-workers every friday to start the weekend out. So i recommend this place highly.
