The other reviews are correct, this place is awesome. They pour Guinness the 'right way' and their food is just as good as what I found in Ireland (humble brag). Also surprisingly good place to watch the World Cup games with a very lively atmosphere. At least when the USA wins The service of course is great too, everyone there is really nice and on top of everything. No thick Irish accents though, but alas read more

When we walked in, the place was already packed. There's a "please seat yourself" sign, so we looked around, found an empty booth near the end, and sat down. We didn't wait long before our waitress came over with a big smile. She was really friendly. My hubby ordered a Guinness with that thick, creamy foam on top. The cutest part was they printed a little leprechaun right on the foam. So cute! I got the Celtic Cucumber and it was really refreshing and delicious. Not too sweet, just light and easy to drink. They also have quite a few cocktails to choose from. We ordered the pretzel, wings, crispy cod sliders, corned beef sliders, Philly cheesesteak fries, and the Shepherd's Pasty. Everything was really tasty and well balanced, nothing too sweet or too salty. Our favorite was definitely the Pasty. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the crust was flaky and so good. This was our first time here and it was such a nice surprise. Cozy spot, good food, good drinks, and friendly service. We'll definitely come back to try more. read more

What I got : Stella artois Church music Spinach artichoke )with substitute tortilla chips over the pita chips it goes with) Shepherds pie When I came in, it was pretty open there wasn't too many people and I got served pretty fast when I sat at the bar. The spinach artichoke dip was actually quite flavorful and creamy, but then I didn't really like the taste of it too much after so many hard chunks in it that were maybe artichoke pieces that made it very unpleasant to want to eat and they didn't really have flavor to them so it was very hard to tell what they were but it just ruined the good flavor and creaminess mixed with weird hard clumps nonetheless it was good some of the better artichoke dip I've had in a minute. I really wish I didn't have those in there or if they were just softer. The shepherds pie was pretty good. Doesn't really have a lot of vegetables in it. It's mostly just the ground beef and a ton of carrots not that many peas Or onion pieces the mashed potatoes on top tasted pretty good. I couldn't tell if it was like instant mash or not. And my drinks were nice and cold. Had no problems with those. Overall, it wasn't bad at all. I want to eventually try the curry chips as well and see how they pair with other places I've been. Another problem I had was how expensive the shepherds pie was for the small version. It was $19. I think that's a bit ridiculous considering every other place has been cheaper than $19 for a big normal size. read more

Great pour of Guinness! Service is fast and friendly. The burger was quite good! Great flavor to the meat. Definitely would be ordered again. Nice Irish Pub feel to the place. They had some live Irish music being played the weekend before St. Paddy's day. read more

They have black and white pudding with their Irish breakfast, so they get five stars. Everything else was really great as well, but the breakfast was the real champ. The cod sliders were an extra special treat! We can't wait to come back here and try everything else!! read more

I always enjoyed this place when it was at the Metro Center location. This location is a bit fancier than the previous one, but honestly has lost a little bit of the original charm of the old place. This is much nicer neighborhood and probably much better in the long run. It's very nice inside and the food and service is good. Of course I had to start off with a Guinness draft, which is not normally my favorite, but it is cool to have it served with the logo on the foam. I had the fish and chips which was very good. The tartar sauce was too sweet for me, but the fish was delicious. I prefer dill relish in my tartar sauce. Overall, it's a fun place! read more

Who knew an Irish Pub would have the best wings in town, but if you like wings, this is the place to go. Walking in, you will be sent to the old country and feel just like you're in a pub over in Dublin. The bartenders are always great and the service is quick. This is definitely the best Irish pub in the Phoenix area. read more

Great spot! Def seems like a locals place. Everyone knew everyone...except us lol. The food is great too and the bartenders are friendly and attentive. It's definitely a family friendly vibe as well. read more

I was looking for a "go-to" Irish pub and I found it. Wait staff "Lexie" (?) was very nice and professional. Food was off the charts. Everything was good. Crab cakes, Irish breakfast (yum!) and "bailey's" bread pudding. If I could eat there every day I would. But I would weigh 300 lbs. read more

Quiet little pub style restaurant. Decent food. Lots of tv's. Great prices. Server was great.

We were actually heading next door to the Italian place when we walked past this place and my recent craving for fish and chips made us change our plans. We decided to give it a go, and we weren't disappointed. It was pretty busy for a Tuesday and we had to wait for a booth to be cleared, but we didn't mind the wait. You could tell by the vibe that there were plenty of regulars which is always a good sign. It really felt like an Irish pub! I got my fish & chips and it did my soul good. Fish was perfectly fried and seasoned cod and the fries were spot on. 10/10, no notes. Hubby got the Killarney chicken and was very happy that the chicken was juicy and tender and he even liked the green beans! Honestly, I can't wait to go back to try their corned beef or the bangers and mash. read more

By chance or a sign from above. I was in Phoenix, Arizona visiting my cousin and while in the hotel watching 'Diners, Drive-ins, and Dive' and episode about Phoenix came on. Looked so good had try the place. Guy did not disappoint showing this place. The vibe is very much Irish pub atmosphere which was awesome. The waiter was nice and very friendly. The food was good. Ordered Guy's food, corned beef and cabbage taquitos. Crispy, good and with a great sauce. Lamb shepherd's pie was delicious. Always a fan ordering shepherd's pie and this version was good. Would come back here again to order more the next time I visit my cousin. read more

In my college days, finding a place to drink some green beer was my thing on St. Patty's Day. But as I got older, I grew to appreciate a good Guinness or Murphy's Irish Stout paired with some Irish cuisine. Irish pubs are some of my favorite places to hang out. I don't get to Glendale often living in the East Valley. But a group of friends chose Tim Finnegan's as our pre St. Patrick's Day celebration location. This place has everything one would find in an authentic Irish pub. Irish themed decor and music with a full menu of Irish favorites and brews on draft. But what I enjoyed most about being here at Tim Finnegan's was its fun crowd celebrating and having a good time. The menu incudes all of the Irish cuisine classics mixed in with some American entrées. Lamb Shepherd's Pie, Corned Beef and Cabbage, Bangers & Mash and Irish Potatoes Skins are all here. I was with a large group and I was impressed with not only how great our service was, but how fast the food came out. I got here during happy hour and started off with some discounted appetizers before eating my Reuben Sandwich. I don't drink as much as I use to, but having a pint of Guinness with some good Irish food always hits the spot. I got a kick out of the beer foam art on my Guinness. My only regret of the night was not having enough room for some Bailey's Bread Pudding for dessert. Tim Finnegan's Irish Restaurant And Pub is named after a character in a ballad called "Finnegan's Wake". Tim Finnegan had a love for liquor and was brought back to life when some whiskey was accidentally spilled on his corpse. What a great find! Sláinte! read more

For March's UYE International Supper Club, our fearless leaders Ursula and Monica chose this place for us to meet up. Being that it is March, an Irish place makes sense! Totally legit Irish pub and reminds me so much of home (East Coast). How many times have I during my days in NYC and Boston did I stumble in and out of Irish pubs with Irish ancestry friends in tow? Getting here was a pain if coming from SW Phoenix and took almost an hour during our ridiculous rush hour, but can say it was worth it for good beer, food and company. We arrived at 6:30pm and we had another 30 min of happy hour! Sweet! I had a $5 Smithwick Red Ale (love this beer and the great price!) and passed on appetizers, but lots to choose from and friends got curry fries, loaded potato skins, stuffed cabbage roll carnitas (interesting concept), Bavarian pretzel. I even spied mussels for $10, but I was like, huh? It's a Irish place or...? I like Shepherd's pie, but when I saw that Shepherd's pasty was also available, I ordered that. It was delicious and plenty left over for lunch tomorrow. Others got the Reuben sandwich, fish and chips, cod, etc. No one complained about their food, and everyone seemed happy with the experience. Great supper club meet up, and I got to try a place that reminded me of home. I'd love to return when there is live music, karaoke or just a rowdy debauchery happening! read more

Dined-4.24.24: First time here & recommended by a friend. She was not wrong! Our server was so welcoming and checked in us regularly w/o being overbearing. As a starter we went with the Corned Beef & Cabbage taquitos and they were delicious! As my main, I had the Blackened Chicken Sandwich w/ Caesar Salad for my side. The food was delicious, customer service was on point and they had a very clean and tidy bathroom which sealed the night for me. I look forward to returning! read more

Visited for our annual celebration honoring our Irish heritage and my children's gran & aunts birthdays (and paternal family who still live in Ireland). Having visited local pubs in Ireland, there's a couple key things we look for when we visit Irish pubs. The key ingredient is black pudding and a certain type of beer. In the spirit of cultural exploration, we decided to try someplace new. The setting was very Irish, the Pogues playing traditional Irish music on the stereo in the background. The food was good, small in portion (which is not typical for any traditional Irish pub). But what bothered us was the plastic plate, plastic cutlery, and (gasp) plastic cups. My toast was tough due to being overcooked (but that happens from time to time) which I pointed out to the server. Traditionally Guinness is served in a half pint or pint glass. This adds to the flavor. And I can't be certain but the pour was done in the American style (like a soda drink) and not as I learned to pour while in Ireland - thus the head tasted a little flat. That being said, there was very little presence of Irish pride. I understand it's the holiday. Things are chaotic during holidays for servers and other staff. But there was only one server who wore any green accessories. No shirts that displayed Irish pride - and March is the season of Erin Go Bragh (Ireland Forever) it's also the month of the Easter Rebellion (that's 90 years of celebration for their independence). And I didn't notice any of that. We are thankful that the server gave us our space, and they did a good job. However overall the service was subpar. Everyone saw us enter. They saw where we were sitting. But unless they were serving us our food and drinks, there was little interaction overall. And we had to go up to the bar to pay our tab since they were nowhere to be found.* Note * Keep in mind our seat was right next to the entry for the bar and the kitchen. The resturaunt itself was not very busy during our time (at least not until we had finished & were starting to leave). They were just understaffed for the holiday and too hyper focused. Also for it being an Irish pub, I didn't have the opportunity to meet any staff with a true Irish background. read more

Out and about looking for a local spot we'd not been yet and came across Tim Finnegan's. The vibe looking at the front doors and quaint patio instantly had me knowing I was going to like it. It looked like what I'd envision an Irish pub would look like. Once inside we walked into a busy place with a seat yourself sign. We opted for a booth near the bar since all the bar seats were full. After about 4-5 minutes someone greeted us and took our drink orders while also dropping off menus. There were some really great options. I wish I could've tried so many, but opted for fish and chips. My husband ordered the Rueben with scallop potatoes. The cider I ordered was so good. There are many great beers on tap of course your typical Guinness etc of course as well. Food came out pretty quick. Fish was good, coleslaw great, but the fries awful, soggy and no flavor. The Rueben was huge and looked so good. I'd never seen a Rueben with coleslaw on it, but after taking a bite to try it I really enjoyed it. Rueben's are not my thing, but this one was delicious. The scallop potatoes while they looked unappealing they were good as well. Service was okay, but they were definitely short staffed. It was obvious they were trying their best, but struggling a bit to keep up. The vibe inside was great. Not super dark, good mix of high tops, booths, regular tables and the bar made make it easy to find your spot. I loved that the bar offered purse hooks as well as charging ports if needed. This small touch goes a long way. I hate when I have to hold my purse or worry about not being able to keep an eye on it. I could definitely see coming back. Great stop. read more

I can't say enough good things about Tim Finnegan's. The food, the service and the entertainment was amazing. This was our first time in and we'll be back. I see us becoming regulars. My hubs had the fish n chips. I had cod sliders. The fish is flaky and perfect fried. We also had a few beers. My first was a Guinness which is always good! Hubs had Voodoo Doo Ranger. We were offered a taste of Kilkenny after asking for Boddingtons. Kilkenny is now my new favorite. Casey was our server and he was friendly and very attentive. Same for the bartenders. The ambiance was also great. They had an acoustic singer who nailed all the songs and had a great sense of humor.. We'll be back with friend in tow!! read more

It was a great place to stop for some lunch. We had a pizza and it was delicious. I would definitely go back for more!

Our town Irish Fest turned out to be a bust and we were craving corned beef! The place was busy so it took a while to get attention of a server, but it was well worth it! We started with a pretzel and cheese dip. This was the softest most delicious pretzel I had outside of Germany! Very tasty! We both ordered a Ruben with corned beef and Cole slaw. SO SO Good!!! Corned beef wasn't chewy and it was everything we hoped for ! We will for sure be back ! read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY. I notice there are very few recent reviews for Tim Finnegan's, on multiple platforms -- I also notice the same observations go way back, so there's been little improvement over the years.. Whoever Tim Finnegan is or was, the owners need to pay a lot more attention to the kitchen. The ambience is Hollywood Irish Pub. VERY dark. The menu has a small nod to Ireland, but it's basically the standard fare you can find in most places. I was there today (3/30/26) with a business colleague. He ordered the Reuben, Not much meat in it, and messy, but he said the flavor was OK. He ate half. I figured you can't go wrong with fish and chips. I was mistaken. The single square piece was encased in a thick crunchy exterior that tasted a lot like brick dust, and tough enough to crack your teeth ... while whatever was actually inside (advertised as cod) was not only flavorless but moist to the point of slimy. It's promoted as a 4oz. piece of fish. I would suggest that the coating makes up at least 2 ounces of that, and possibly more. Tartar sauce was over-sweet, but did add a modicum of flavor. The side of "coleslaw" -- virtually devoid of dressing -- was cut so large it almost defied handling with a fork. The friendly server did keep a supply of Diet Cokes coming for me, though, which was nice. My colleague ordered a Guinness draft. At different times both he and I had been to the Guinness brewery in Dublin, so we'd both been taught the proper way to pour and drink a good Guinness. It looked correct, and he said their delivery was pretty good. So at least there's that. SIDEBAR: My son and his wife had been to Tim Finnegan's once and recommended it at the time. Then a little later, on St, Patrick's Day, which coincides with his wife's birthday, they went again -- this time the portions were tiny, served on paper plates, and the prices had been exorbitantly raised. That's the kind of exploitation I detest. My visit was based on my son's first recommendation. But I won't try this place again. Neither will he. Nor should you. read more

March's International Supper Club UYE picked Tim Finnegan's Irish Restaurant and Pub as the place to go to just a few days before St Patrick's Day. After checking out the menu I went for a small order of fish and chips, it was what I was craving. I also ordered a side sauce of curry for the chips. I had read about the curry fries and knew It was something I had to try. The fish was flaky and fried perfectly, however it was lacking in flavor, but add the tartar sauce to it and its was good! But the curry sauce with the fries was the hit, so dang good! Tim Finnegan's Irish Restaurant and Pub is a fun place, staff and service is friendly and great. Glad to have giving them a try and look forward to coming back! read more

I joined a group of Yelp friends to try this restaurant for our March gathering. Our server was very efficient and friendly and the atmosphere is typical of Irish pubs- casual, crowded, a bit noisy, all good. Since it was nearly Saint Patrick's day, I ordered the corned beef and cabbage. It was a bit on the bland side, and for future visits I would order something else like the fish and chips. Other than that, the dining experience was overall rather pleasant. read more

Zero rating for food and ownership. Waitress was good and honest. Grilled Reuben was toasted not grilled with Cole Slaw not sauerkraut and the owner stated only 4 oz of meat on every sandwich looked more like 2 oz of meat.

Would you recommend anything about this place if you were served this sandwich or Guinness in a disposable plastic cup?? read more

I wasn't going to write a review but then I saw the owner responding to other people's reviews and I decided this place is being ran by someone who wants you to see it from their point of view always. Not one response was about making it right, all the owners responses were about them being right and trying to explain their way out of a bad review. Zero accountability. Now my experience was different so I will keep it honest and fair. Fish and chips are delicious but for the price of two dinner servings totaling 50.00? I respect people naming their price so I paid the piper but wouldn't again there are other places to try. The bar had an amazing musician on the night we went so that guy alone saved the vibe otherwise you are sitting in a soggy wooden room that is bound to collapse. Maybe that's the theme? We had gotten a to go order and had asked for more lemons. When we checked the bag and there wasn't any we went back inside and asked to which the server who I will not name drop said" I put them in there myself" well if you call one small wedge "extra" then I guess she did. Lastly this place will be one of those places that will just always be around sole reason because of location, they have awesome foot traffic and die hard regulars who are only going to drink so one bad review or a couple wouldn't do anything to this place... first restaurant I've ever seen that has an owner respond to yelp reviews in the most unprofessional yet hilarious way. They could use some help with service.. but they don't want it. Perfect example of a "why fix something that isn't broken". Good luck Mr Finnegan may the coming years of this economy be good to you. read more

The service was horrible the redhead bartender was very rude. The prices are too high for plastic ware $9 for a blue moon in a 16oz in a plastic cup, $24 for cornedbeef and cabbage on a hefty plate . We had to wait a long time for our meal. The first time it came out my friend got her meal I had to wait for mine, mine meal never came out had to reorder my friend sent hers back 25 minutes later we both got our meal. The corn beef and cabbage were terrible, the corn beef was dry and the potatoes were boxed and there was no flavor to the cabbage. I have never had this bad of server there. read more
