Came in for a happy hour after work on a Friday. We got a table quickly which was nice. Had a blonde for $6 and a chicken and waffles from the HH menu. Everyone's food in our group was pretty tasty. For ambiance the Tables are pretty close to each other that you could hear conversations near each other but that didn't bother us much. They had multiple TVs playing sports but we were there more for food and drink. Overall we enjoyed our HH and would definitely come back. read more

I came after work on a Friday night in hopes of a Happy Hour, and boy, did they deliver. Parking is not too shabby, especially on a weekend night. Downtown Claremont is pretty difficult to find parking at, especially on the weekends. Be especially mindful of the two hours signs, in case you get a parking ticket. We had two servers at Finney's and both gals were phenomenal. They were both consistently checking in on us. The happy hour here starts from 3 and ends at 6 PM. I drank some IPAs which were $6 each per happy hour. I also ordered a spicy tuna crispy rice which was fantastic! The rice itself was very chewy and crispy at the same time. Not bad for being $9 a plate, and it had about 5 pieces. Although I haven't tried their other food, I believe this place isn't too bad. I'd love to come back to try their nachos or burgers! read more

Came here to watch the Dodgers/Angels game and started with a beer at the bar before sitting down for dinner. The Mediterranean bowl with chicken was SO good, and the fried pickles were also really tasty. For the most part, the staff was attentive and friendly. We specifically came to watch the game though, and were disappointed that only 3 TVs out of probably 12 were showing it. I asked if one of the TVs facing our table could be changed, and the response that was meant to be funny came across more rude than playful. Overall, the food was great and most of the service was solid, but the experience could've been better. read more

Ambience is bustling and service is proportionate to demands. It's a bit echoey, only amplified during busy hours. Coconut margarita was EPIC, as were the wings appetizer, but nothing else particularly wowed. Given that there's like 15 restaurants in our area, I'm sure I'll be back and will happily update if anything impresses, but for now, it's a three-star experience. read more

I've been living in Claremont forever and I remember they didn't allow chains to come in but now thats changed and im not against it. We were debating between our beloved back abbey or try new place in Claremont. It was definitely a good choice to give it a try. The service was really good. The food was decent. We liked their fries the best. The happy hour seems good deal. Definitely will be back. Just dont sit by the TV lol read more

Our experience was pretty good at Finney's! This is a newer location of the chain in a popular area of Claremont. There is lots of parking plus other shops, bars, restaurants, dessert, etc. to try nearby. To eat we had... crispy tuna rice - which was shockingly delicious for not being at a sushi place turkey burger - this burger had a Mediterranean vibe with tzatziki and roasted peppers, it did have a bit of kick to it! Southwest chicken protein bowl - a good variety of toppings, good heat To drink the Claremont IPA and raspberry smash cocktail were good! I would skip on the Brewery X seltzer (if the seasonal is still the baja blast flavor) Our service was pretty good, we were sat veryyy close next to another table, but we made do! read more

Disclosure make sure you make reservations if you are coming on a Friday or Saturday evening the restaurant gets packed fast. Now let's talk about the food. Everything was delicious. Everything came out on time. From the photos you can see tried a little bit of everything. I highly recommend the appetizers. They have a very robust selection, which looks all very good. The service was top-notch. I highly recommend this place will definitely come back. read more

Tried Finney's for the first time tonight (a Monday) after trying probably 6 times prior to come (each time before they were packed full to the gills or had a 45 min - 1 hr wait). The atmosphere is awesome beer pub sports bar with probably the most taps I've seen anywhere outside of maybe Yard House in Rancho or Brea. Very kid friendly - changing tables in both bathrooms. The food was fantastic - I ordered the Yuzu Buffalo wings and my wife got a burger. My only negative on this place is that the service tended to trail off towards the end of our meal and the waiter brought me the incorrect drink twice. Could just be ironing out the service kinks as they're a new restaurant in Claremont. Welcome to the village - we'll absolutely be back! Seriously! I was shocked how many awesome local taps they had from Old Stump, Left Coast, and Brewery X read more

Finney's Crafthouse - Claremont - The bar! - New American Near Me - Claremont, California

Great food, good value, great service, good ambience. Great place to try flights and new appies!

We're on a mission to try every restaurant on the Claremont list, and Finney's Crafthouse earned a top spot on our little foodie quest. Friday night vibes, it was a full-on happening spot! The wait was about an hour for a group of six, which felt surprisingly painless since we parked ourselves at the bar and kept the conversation flowing like the drinks. Many TVs throughout the place and a big drink selection. The hour gave me time to watch all the passing plates which smelled so good. It was a real sensory flirtation anytime someone's plate rolled by I got FOMO in the most delicious way. The hour flew by as we finally sank into a comfy large booth. We kicked things off with two taquito appetizers. They arrived in a rainbow of colors and flavors and they came out fast, super snackable! The meat was a touch soggy for my taste, but I'd order them again in a heartbeat for the flavor. I went with the chicken and waffles, which arrived looking very dark. The syrup wasn't your classic sweet. It tasted bold definitely a syrup adventure I could not quite figure out the ingredients. Everyone else's plates looked incredible the pizza, the burger, the mahi tacos all plated looking delicious. I'm pretty sure round two is on the schedule so I can sample more of what Finney's has to offer. Finney's is for sure a buzzy spot that's clearly trying something a little different with its syrup!! Haha Jokes aside If you're in the mood for sports, a lively night, good vibes, kid friendly, clean restrooms and a great drink menu this is your spot! read more

Service was exceptional. Fries, tots, and chips tasted like fish. Seems like everything fried in the same oil. Rueben sandwich half soggy due to the sauerkraut. Cheesesteak was extremely spicy and seemed like cheese was cheese wiz out of a can. Restaurant has a cool vibe. Will try again. read more

Firstly, the vibes? Immaculate. The inside is so cozy with huge ceiling fans and giant windows that open horizontally to the outside. Making it feel like a patio, it was a lovely day and those open windows were just comfy maxxing. The deviled egg appetizer was AMAZING. The candied bacon garnish was everything. I wasn't even bothered by the splash of hot sauce, it was just subtle enough not to overpower the delicate flavor of the eggs. I got the Turkey Burger with Tzatziki which was delightful but kinda small. I also got a side salad. Shout out to the server who as soon as she set it down, quickly realized she gave me the wrong dressing and promptly replaced it. The salad was simple. Just spring greens and cherry tomatoes. It was bright and fresh and tasty with the perfect amount of dressing, but I would have appreciated a third element. Perhaps some Thin cucumber slices, some grated carrot, or some croutons (though I have a complicated relationship with croutons.) My husband is a simple man, when he sees a Blue cheese burger, he orders it! This day it was to his detriment that he did not read the full description on the menu. The Bacon Blue cheese burger came with a really spicy sauce/slaw situation. Not what he was expecting and way too spicy for him. He could barely eat half of it. It didn't feel right to complain, but it speaks to a different issue I have with these bougie downtown eateries; Everything is Spicy On almost every dish there is some creative spice element, wasabi aoli, firecracker sauce, candied or pickled jalapeño. This trend irritates me. And that's me being in my 40s eating in a college town, I'm the old out of touch one, I get it. But it's my review, so here we are. Another critique is we are at IPA critical mass, and this goes more for the local breweries. I hate IPAs. HATE THEM and it seems 60-70% of what restaurants today carry is IPAs. And IF they even have a Hefeweizen (my favorite) it's an orange IPA or has raspberry flavors. I don't want fruit in my beer. Why is this happening. Anyway, rant over. The service was outstanding, and I'll definitely return so they can earn that extra star. But we will be reading fully the item descriptions. As should you. read more

I finally had a chance to try Finney's, and I was very pleased. Drink menu was extensive. (So was the food menu.) I had a guava margarita, and it was delicious - just the right balance of alcohol and other ingredients. I don't eat beef or pork, and there were plenty of food options for me; also, you can substitute either an Impossible Burger or veggie patty for any of their burgers or a lettuce wrap in place of a bun, for those people who are reducing their carb intake. Wonderfully flexible menu. I had the turkey burger and onion rings. The burger was delicious, and oh, my, the onion rings were out of this world with seasoning that really made it stand out. I was there with 5 other people on a Sunday evening around 6:00 p.m., and we had not made a reservation or put ourselves on the waiting list and were still able to be seated right away in one of their gigantic booths. Their system is set up to do separate checks, so it was no trouble at all for our server to do 5 separate checks for our party. This is a definite plus if you go there in a big group. The atmosphere is fun, and the music is not too loud. We were able to carry on conversations at a normal volume. I'm looking forward to coming back to try other items on their extensive menu. read more

I've been to multiple finney's locations from Brea & Orange to the one down in Oceanside and had no idea there was one in Claremont! We did have to wait due to us needing highchair & only a particular dining area accommodated highchairs, which was fine the wait wasn't long and we walked around the area. Once we sat down the service and server were great. And the food and drinks arrived quickly. First time trying the chicken and waffle appetizer and it was sooo good. Look forward to returning to this location read more

Arrived to my seat and picked up the menu. Saw deviled eggs and had to get them. I'll give them a solid 7/10 they were pretty great. Anyways continuing got the burger and it was crazy juicy. very good very good. but to top off a great experience i had the sweet potatoes. they were 10/10!!!! T-A-S-T-Y!!! and to finish it off the waiter (his name was Philip) it was his first day and he did great. what a goat. def reccomend for anyone looking for good bar food. read more

I have eaten at the restaurant a few times and the service was great and so was the food. Decided to do takeout tonight. Very disappointed at the size of my Italian chopped salad. For $16 it's pretty ridiculously small. It's basically the same amount as the side salad which was $5 On the plus side, the wings, side salad and fries were good and a decent size serving. Update: the manager reached out to me quickly. My response : I appreciate the gesture Clair. I wrote the review in hopes that quality control will be better. I know that your location is new and has been quite busy, therefore there are growing pains. But I felt bringing this up now will lead to better training and oversight. I am sure consistency will get better at this new location. read more

Love this location! Same interior vibe as other Finney's with the decor and exposed brick. The waitress was super friendly and attentive.

If the fact that I'm here for the second Friday in a row is any indication of how great this place is, well then I don't know what is. The variety of food is really good from the pizza to the burgers. One of the favorite things here is that they actually have pale ale on draft. In the world of IPAs finding a good pale is hard to do. The line is long, so check in early on the web. read more

I was in town for the holidays and walked in with a group of 7, adding our name to the waitlist. We were seated in under an hour, which was impressive given how busy it was that night. We ordered a wide variety of food and drinks, and everything was delicious. The food included bacon deviled eggs, carnitas nachos, Gary's pepperoni pizza, bone-in and boneless hot wings, fries, an ahi poke bowl, a bison burger, a prosciutto arugula pizza on a gluten-free crust, an A5 Wagyu burger, and truffle fries. For drinks, we tried the Pranqster, Finney's Hazy, an espresso martini, and a raspberry smash. Everything was delicious and I loved the variety on the menu! Prices were very reasonable, and the service was super friendly. Our table also had a payment device that allows you to pay directly at the table and even split the bill by individual items, which is a really convenient feature (even though I didn't use it). I'd definitely recommend this spot for large groups. There are also plenty of TVs at the bar, making it a great place to watch sports. read more

Arrival Time: 6:15 PM on January 23rd, 2026 We used the Yelp waitlist feature and were able to park and walk right in. Big plus. Location: Nicely located in Downtown Claremont, close to the Metrolink Train Station. The restaurant is well organized, does not feel overcrowded, and yet still accommodates a large number of guests comfortably. We were seated at a tall tabletop, which was very comfortable and well stocked with condiments. They also use tabletop payment tablets, similar to Chili's and other chain restaurants, which made checkout quick and easy. The menu is extensive, with plenty of appetizers, entrées, and a wide selection of beer, cocktails, and nonalcoholic drinks. Below is what we ordered, rated from 1 to 5, based on taste and overall experience, along with recommendations. Appetizers Crispy Brussels (no bacon add-on) They looked great when served, and we had high hopes for the tamarind ponzu. Unfortunately, the ponzu made the Brussels feel soggy. They appeared crispy but did not deliver on texture. Recommendation: Ditch the ponzu or use it sparingly. Consider a fig glaze or a ponzu balsamic glaze instead. Do not drown them in liquid. Rating: 3/5 Steak Taquitos Delicious. We wanted more and would have ordered another round if we did not have more food coming. The meat was flavorful, the toppings were complementary, and both sauces were amazing. Order these. Recommendation: Increase the portion size. Rating: 5/5 Entrées Southwest Chicken Bowl The description made this sound like a healthy, standout bowl, but it left a lot to be desired. The chicken was cubed, which felt underwhelming for a restaurant entrée. The rice was fine, but nothing special. All the components were there, but it lacked something to tie it together. Recommendation: Use cilantro lime rice instead of plain white rice. Add pinto beans. Do not cube the chicken. Sliced chicken would feel more substantial and worth the price. Consider adding a salsa on the side. Rating: 4/5 Bison Burger (Medium Rare) This burger was phenomenal. I was initially concerned the bison might be gamey, but it was not at all. It was tender, flavorful, and practically melted in my mouth. The only downside is that it does not come with a side, which must be ordered separately. That said, there are plenty of side options. We ordered the burger with the large truffle fries, which leads to the next item. Recommendation: The burger itself needs no changes. Rating: 5/5 Truffle Fries I did not think it was possible to have too much truffle and cheese, but here we are. These fries were heavily coated with both. If you like your truffle fries drowning in cheese and truffle, you will love them. For us, it was overwhelming and ended up tasting overly salty. Recommendation: Dial it back just a bit on the cheese and truffle. There was more than enough. Rating: 4/5 Dessert We did not order dessert, so we cannot rate it. Final Thoughts: Service was excellent and very attentive. Plates were cleared quickly, and there were plenty of staff members checking on guests. Despite it being a packed house, food and drinks came out quickly. We were pleasantly surprised. We will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. read more

I've been to Finney's in Clairmont a few times, but today just wasn't their best showing. Service was noticeably slow, and the food was just okay -- nothing that really stood out. The drinks were decent, which is honestly what's keeping this from being a lower rating. That said, if this had been my first visit, I probably wouldn't come back. Hoping this was just an off day, because I've had better experiences here before. read more

Was so pumped to see a Finney's location in Claremont! Servers here go above and beyond to ensure your experience is as seamless and wonderful as possible. With such a large menu, it was so hard to choose what to have, but I ended up settling with the Smashburger! I'm dying to try the buffalo chicken sliders and so many other menu items (including all of the fun drinks)! This place is awesome and I can't wait to head back for football & baseball games!! read more

Our server, Josh was great. He knew his menu and had great suggestions.

Dinner at Finney's with the family was such a treat! We added our name to the waitlist through yelp and I was so glad we did. When we arrived we were seated within five minutes. Be prepared, it is very loud in the dining room. We had a bit of a hard time talking across the table. Our server was wonderful and helped us decide what to order. We loved everything we chose except for the chicken and waffle appetizer. The waffles tasted more like donuts which was a little too sweet for us. But otherwise, everything was delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

My family and I went for the first time last night. We love the crafthouse feel of the place and the relaxed environment. All the servers were super nice and friendly. We had the pretzel, buffalo cauliflower, pepperoni pizza, Moroccan salad, and the Chicken and Waffle bites. The pretzel, buffalo cauliflower, and Moroccan salad was so good!! We will definitely have them again. We were disappointed in the pizza and the waffle bites. The pizza was ok. It was not bad but there was nothing that stood out. The chicken and waffle bites were about the same waffle deep fried so it tasted more like a funnel cake and the chicken was over cooked. I gave it a 3 star because we are leaving it open for a better review. We think we might be back. read more

Great service and the pizza is fantastic. Excellent selection of craft brews. Gets crowded early.

Best happy hour around. So many craft beers on tap and only 6.00 on happy hour. Food is fresh and hot when coming out. Pizzas r amazing .
