      Very chill, and the bartender is very friendly! Definitely get the meat pies. Better than Pat O'Briens!

      It was raining hard and we had to find somewhere close to eat. Burgers cooked to order- yes! But alas - no.

      My husband ordered the Sweet Corn Bites and some fries and he liked them.

      I ordered a burger medium rare and it was a little more done than medium. If it would have been cooked to medium rare it would have been very good. The onion rings were not good.

      They had the doors open so it was cold inside. But the worst part is they allow smoking because of the gambling machines. So the wind from the door kept blowing smoke in my face. We didn't know this until right before the food came.

      The bartenders were great.

      Definitely has a neighborhood bar vibe, tucked away in the French Quarter. You know it has a good burger when the local service industry folks go there, after a shift to grab a burger.

      Service was super friendly, there were 5 of us stopping for a quick lunch. Seating at the bar and ordering at the bar, pretty easy rules to follow.

      Burgers were good and a great price for coming with fries. 2 of us ordered peanut butter, with a $1 up charge so it would have been nice to have a good smear of peanut butter verses a light coating on the bun.

      This is an annual trip for us, so next year we will definitely stop back again.

      We are regulars at our pub Finnegan's in Delray Beach Florida so when we were walking by on our vacation I told my wife we have to go in . I am extremely happy we did, the bartender came up and was extremely pleasant and ready to give us many options. Antonio was the best , he actually got my wife to try exotic beers and different drinks we have not tried at our local pub . Thank you Antonio for a once in a lifetime experience at a new pub. Let them recommend a new drink and experience something new . Great place to try in town .

      Great Irish bar across the street from Pat O'briens.

      My boyfriend and I came here after a recommendation from a friend back home. Glad we stopped in!

      My boyfriend has an "orange tic tac shot" which he really enjoyed. I had some shots of Skrewball.

      To eat we shared boudin egg rolls. They were delish!!! Although fried, they didn't taste heavy at all. There was yummyness in every bite.

      Mike, the bartender was wonderful! Kept great conversation and greeted everyone as they walked in. He even put on the hockey game for us on one of the TVs when we asked.

      There's also some outdoor seating in the courtyard in the back.

      We will be back!

      Right across from Pat O'Brien's is Finnegan's Easy -- an Irish pub with the aesthetic of some of the pubs we have experienced during our trips to Ireland. A narrow passage for walking between the bar counter and high-top seating leads to a small but spacious courtyard in the back, with a heavy emphasis on Jameson varietals on display.

      We did wait a good few minutes for drinks since there was only one bartender on duty when we visited on a Sunday afternoon. I don't think having only one behind the bar was the norm, but the time felt longer waiting until the bartender finally was able to take our drink order after fulfilling the others around us who had been there before.

      Still, we had a nice buzz from the Jameson Black Barrel and ginger we ordered as the football matches played on the TV screens while we were there. The atmosphere is lovely, and the buzz is even better if you can get a drink sooner than later.

      What a great find!!!
      The owner, Roland and I are from the same hometown in Jersey. Talked about Freehold.
      The food, drinks and staff are great. Started with the Rueben Egg Rolls then we had a burger and Fish n Chips. Best burger in NOLA.

      We decided to have dinner here after our folks completed their ride on Thoth. The guys were hungry since they hadn't eaten all day. We chose Finnegan's because we were there the night before and the staff had recommended their kitchen. Menu looked good so we go.
      Well the menu in the restaurant had several items on the small menu marked out as not available. Not unusual in todays environment. We were told it might take a bit, they are slow. Ok, we get that and tell the bartender we are ordering drinks and apps to Tues us over and ordering meals. We order the apps and they come out quickly! The SW egg rolls are good!
      The problem came in getting our order in for dinner.. the bartenders friends came in, she took all their orders, ignored us until they went to the patio to sit down and finally took our order. We said we understood and tried to be patient. Her friends say behind us and got there in a reasonable time. Our food took two hours, two meals at a time and burnt!! There were 8 of us and half the table still didn't have food after two hours! The fries were the only part of the meal we can say was good. Wings and fish were burnt badly! Burgers were eh, and by the time the chicken strips were delivered in a to go box!! I guess seating is limited to 2.5hours. The bartender got ugly when I asked for the check, still short two meals. I said we need the meals and intend to eat them there but I want to close the bill. After three times of saying "No, I am not canceling the last two meals, I just want to close the tab" she told me "I will regret talking to her like that!"
      At that point the same person that told us about having a kitchen the night before, stepped in and apologized. He said he cares about the place and customers and took four of the meals off and offered some free seltzers. Seemed really nice. Mean while the bartender told the kitchen we wanted the remaining meals to go! We finished what was eatable, paid and left. We went some where else for those still hungry. We won't be back but the fries were good and Jerry is trying. Just watch out for the lively young lady in her underwear behind the bar. Especially when her friends come in. Sounds like she will cut you!

      Great place to hang out for a couple of hours and get off the street. Bartenders are so great and have many unique and tasty drink recommendations. Hurricanes are fantastic, with actual fruit juice and so refreshing.
