What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Finnian's Irish Tavern receives praise for its lively atmosphere, friendly staff, and hearty pub fare, especially their charcoal-grilled steaks and fish dishes. While many enjoy the vibrant live music nights and the extensive beer selection, some reviews mention inconsistencies in opening hours and occasional issues with food preparation, such as overcooked pasta.
"Fabulous!! So much fun 🤩 live music this Friday and Saturday - not sure is every weekend but the sign clearly says live music- fun fun! Music was great! Amazing staff super friendly, extremely kind in their ways and in accommodating people's needs! The chip oh my goodness the best chips I have had in the past at least 3 years!!! Free parking available around the pub area but if is all busy there is next door Cole’s huge parking. Large variety of beers 🍻 chilled people, good vibe to go for dinner or just drinks"

"Lovely staff who kept my luggage safe while waiting for a late coach, great vegan schnitzel with gravy, decent pints! Would've given five stars but the opening hours don't reflect the reality, they were closed by 9pm on a night their Google page stated they were open until midnight."
Andrew Boland
"Love the guiness stout so smooth and full flavour, a taste I longed for a long time. Love the barrumundi fish n chip served with garden salad. Everything on the plate was very delicious."

The 7 Best Gluten-Free Bars in Port Macquarie
We were the annoying people that order 10 minutes before the kitchen closed and still our burgers were to die for. My husbands cheeseburger with the homemade beef patty he said he could taste the salt and pepper that had been purposely put in and my grilled chicken burger with the secret sauce is the tastiest grilled chicken burger I have ever had. Even with the gluten free bun I didn’t feel like I was missing out in the slightest as it was so yum.
