Great for the oldest bar in America, be prepared for it to be jam packed and shoulder to shoulder. I would go earlier in the night to get a place to sit with friends!

We stumbled across this place after our original plans fell through. For a bar, the food was way better than expected. The fact that they have a kale salad- made my night. Paired with a glass of...

Not a good day for Finn McCool's. I placed an order two dinners to go. The first one up too bat was the fish and chips we had to reheat it in the oven when we arrived home since it was all soggy.(...

We have also added 16 beers on draft, mainly Irish, Belgium, German and Local Micro brews. 4 large flat screens, large beer steins & diverse glass wear dress up the handmade authentic back bar shelves while Soccer jerseys fill the...

True to its name, this Center City East pub is a "chill" place to hang, with a "decent menu", "friendly" service and a solid booze selection that's "fairly priced"; while some appreciate the "crowded and dark" environs as "just what a good Irish bar should be", others say the place is "nothing to write home about" ¸ more of a "start-the-night" spot than a final destination.
