Finn McCool’s

New Orleans


Want a surreal New Orleans experience? Arrive at 6am when premier league soccer or big international rugby games are playing. You'll see a mix of European sports enthusiasts, British expats and Hispanic locals packed into this bar. Finn’s is an excellent spot for a beer any time (especially on St Paddy’s Day), but we particularly love it for watching soccer.

Check the website or call for game days and hours.
