Finnegan’s Pub

If you’re looking for a nice place with a bit more of a laid back crowd, try Finnegans. It’s quickly become one of our favorite spots– cheaper drinks than you find at the bars on Washington and typically much less crowded. One problem is that they’re drinks do tend to seem a bit watered down, and even their shots, too. The food I’ve had there was pretty good, and they have some awesome deals for weeknight happy hour beer and food combos. The beer selection rotates and the bartender is pretty knowledgable about what you might like and can offer suggestions. What I really love is that the owner is often there and actually seems to care about what’s happening in his establishment.

Cool spot great bartenders and good weekly specials enormous upgrade over Rogos the owner actually gives a shit about his business! Great spot for skee ball or darts!

Well long story short i went in for a drink and some food

This is a drinks only review (I assure you I had enough to evaluate)
For those who remember, this used to be Rogos. Well the place now looks a lot newer and brighter. It’s a very open space, which makes it feel more inviting. The layout also makes it easier to watch the TVs. The owner also bartends from time to time!
I never got a chance to sample the food, but if I come back to town I will hopefully get the chance. All in all a great bar!

Fun place, bartender is cool, bar is clean and quick service. Food was good too!

Not happy with the cocky service and the food was so so…
Tenth and Willow next time or we should stay on Washington Street.

I’ve been to many «wing nights» at Finnegans but this place has steadily wen’t downhill since the conversion from Rogo’s. The wings still taste great but the wait staff sucks. Last visit was on 8÷25÷15 and there was only one waitress for the entire bar. She also came with a bad attitude and didn’t write down any of our orders. Of course my wings came hot instead of mild. Usually not a big deal you can just send them back for the correct wings. Not this time because they ran out of wings on wing night! If you are looking for wings go to 10^th and Willow on Monday nights for $ 5 all you can eat wings.

This place is good. Good food, good décor, good selection of drinks. Genuine Irish pub. And then you have a bartender like Ed that makes this place special. Most attentive, engaging, bartender I’ve come across. Solid place, highly recommended.

Good local pub. Service can be spotty depending on who is bartending. Food is average at best.

I’m moving to Hoboken soon, and Tuesday wing night at this place really sweetens the deal. I’ve been there twice so far, and the wings/​beer specials are a good value, the wings are tasty, and the staff has been really great. I was there last Tuesday, and our group started as 5, but doubled as the night went on… as someone who used to wait tables, I know this could be kind of obnoxious, but the waitress was really nice and accommodating.

Great local bar! Nice place to watch football and eat wings and have some beers.
Love this place!

The best pub in Hoboken! The waitstaff, phenomenal! They remember who you are, what you drink, the people you come in with, and best of all… Your name!
I have decided to make this my local spot. It is decent pub grub for sure! Great specials. Great tap selection (always seems to rotate– I had some Hoboken brew recently)
This is the «CHEERS» of Hoboken!
Cheers mate :)

Great spot for live entertainment, and they have a couple skee-​ball tables upstairs if you want to have some friendly games (they also do league skee-​ball).
Bartenders always friendly.
This place used to be called Rogos, I think.
Many TVs many games on.

This place is a hidden gem, off the beaten path. The second time we came in, about four weeks from the first time, Ed remembered our faces and our beers of choice. He’s courteous and professional, and extremely knowledgeable about his craft. (Don’t trust me? Then test him!) Overall… great experience, great place. And make sure to say ‘hey’ after reading this because we’ll probably be here more often than not.

Best wings in Hoboken. Great bartenders, cold beer. Great music!

I stopped in to have a beer, and was ignored by the staff.
Not a friendly neighborhood place. Basically, if the bartender doesn’t think he is going to make a lot of money from you, he won’t serve you.
You are better off going to Willie McBrides or Sullivan’s. They are REAL Irish Pubs.

Ed is not only an amazing bartender, but an amazing person. Brian is possibly the smartest person that has ever lived. Owen is great to talk to, runs a fine bar but be warned, he’s very efficient! Haha, be ready with your order. You’ll enjoy yourself with any of these guys. Finnegan’s is perfect any night of the week. Skee ball upstairs and darts in the back. What’s not to love?

«I like it.» At least that’s what the bf told me when I asked him what I should write about this place. Sigh… sadly writing Unilocal reviews comes easier for some people than for others.
Left at a loss for how to begin, I’ll say that I also like this place. It is a laid-​back Irish bar with decent beer selection and a relaxed crowd. It’s not a dive, and has a lot more lights on than your typical pub, so you can actually read the menu! That’s a plus, right?
They sponsor a softball team, so I’m usually in here with those knuckleheads. The fact that they haven’t banned us from coming in is a testament to how cool these guys are. Nah, we are a nice crowd. That includes the people I came in with, and the other patrons decorating the outside of the wooden bar. There are little booths off to the side, but who wants to sit in the corner? Most people cluster at the bar top. The Tuesday night bartender is top notch, and is willing to toss chocolate to angry girls who need a quick fix to get them through the night without clawing out eachother’s eyes as they debate who messed up that throw to second base.
Cheap draft specials. Last time was $ 3 Miller Lt pints. Awesome French fries that you can get this awesome curry sauce with. Yum!
Solid place to celebrate a win, or to relax and drink with friends.

I’ve been going here for the last year. I witnessed the transition between Rogos and Finnegans.
The staff are great people. Super friendly and generous (they will throw you a free drink now and again). They get top quality meat for burgers from the local butcher and I think they have one of the best burgers in town. It’s quality non greasy beef. Most of the other burgers in town are greasy and make me feel bad after eating them.
And I would have to say that their wings are some of the best in Hoboken. Non breaded and well cooked. Try the teriyaki as a recommendation, very good.
There isn’t anything on the menu over $ 11 and it’s all quality stuff. Decent beer selection with rotating brews and low prices.
Visit them on a certain day and you will find a special on food for an excellent bargain.
Plenty of tv’s around. A pool table. Skee ball upstairs and darts.
I am giving them a great review because I have fallen victim to the mediocre hoboken bar scene for too long. If you want quality well priced food and drink in Hoboken this is what I consider the best. It’s not a crazy hangout. It definitely has the great old school hoboken bar mentality –Hoboken resident for 10 years and counting

AWSOME local bar. Friendly staff, good food specials, great music on weekends, and just a good place to hang out.
With pool table, two dart boards and skee ball, you will never be board. Friendly crowd so you won’t have any trouble finding a partner for pool or darts.
