    As a tourist DO NOT GO TO THIS THIEF HOUSE!! So I had one hell of an experience here, as a tourist I went to this cool bar every night, the second night they overcharged me around 30Manat ($18), I asked why is that and they showed me that I had 6 beers but I only had 4! (I assume they thought I must be drunk) then again, they fixed the bill, brought it back with still 20Manat overcharged! I asked to see a menu, they somewhat refused to even show me the MENU!! because the prices where different on the bill! So I checked the menu eventually and the beer price was 8Manat, they charged me 10! oh btw they added a random %10 service fee (Which it didn't have the night before)! meanwhile talking to the manager, they all of a sudden remembered they increased the prices but haven't got the time to update the menu :)

    Had a great time here! The live rock band on the night put up a lit performance. They screen the football on match days. The staff are friendly, the service is great, overall you'll have a good time here.

    One my favorite so far, for sure I will visit every-time I come to Baku. I came with friends for couple drinks and eventually stayed till 2:30 ( the bar close at 2:00 but the staff are willing to stay with you if you are having fun). The staff are very nice and generous, the atmosphere is friendly we had lots of fun although there were no live music when we came! Also the food is very delicious!

    The place reeks of cigarette smoke and can get pretty crowded on a Friday night. You pay for your drinks as you get them instead of a bill for the total, a casual place to go I suppose. Live music definitely helps elevate the atmosphere of the pub to a 4 but any other day it's just a 3 star.

    Great place to hangout at night... Staff are so friendly. Pub has live performances for 5 days a week. Too much fun, and affordable rates for food and beverages.

  • 5/5 Alexei K. 8 months ago on Google • 158 reviews
    Great bar with live music. All three singers were great. Band is nice, but they need to smile more. Very warm and alive. If you like live music and have no problem with cigarette smoke, go there!

    I have visited Finnegans several times over my 8 years in Baku. I can remember the former location and how energetic the bar was... it was a true center for expats in Baku. Since the move (2008?) the pub just has never really gained back its notoriety. I have never managed to stay longer than 2 beers as I have found it to simply be boring and lacking of any positive vibes. Getting a drink can make one feel as if you have resorted to beggary... the service with a smile concept has not permeated the staff. The food is acceptable as pub fare, but there is better in nearby locations (see my other reviews). I wanted to give 2 stars but opted for 3 as Finnegans is not a bad bar... it just does not do anything for me. There must be some people that do like it... particularly I have heard people suggest Finnegans is kept in business by the live bands on the weekends. Drink prices are normal. Working girls presence is minimal and not noticed. So, the bottom line is that if you enjoy a live band with your drinks then Finnegans may be a good fit on the weekends.

    It's a nice pub with a lot of live performances. Prices are higher than the average in Baku. The food is good. Their local draft beer (Xirdalan) was somehow awful each time I was there during the last few months, which is why I am taking one star.

    Live rock music was a kind of practice. Start a song and stop in the middle and start another song and stop again. They didn’t finish any songs and go home. This Irish pub has canned Guinness but I didn’t take it. Girls are wear like Footers. Local draft beer was not good. Too bitter and sting my tongue.

    The place is good for drinking and cjillimg but it’s allowed to smoke inside so not recommended ones who can’t take it. In general I would say it’s good after midnight so you can come here drink and hangout. Prices are same as the pubs around and service is fine. Sometimes they want deposit so beware before going. Cheers ✌🏻

    Food and drinks was good. But as a non-smoker I was disturbed by the cigarette smoke inside. Other than that it's good.

    Here may be the only one of places where you can listen to live rock music in the town. Beer price differs from 6 manat to 10 manat. Usually very crowded and then tobaccoey. I think i will miss this place most after leave from baku.

    We recently visited Finnegan's pub and had a great experience. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with friendly staff and a great selection of drinks. I especially recommend the local unfiltered beer. The live music was a great touch and really added to the fun atmosphere. The pub is well-maintained, making it a great spot to relax with friends. Overall, I highly recommend Finnegan's and will definitely be back!

    Customer service is quite lacking. Aside from one barmaid (blonde with curly hair) nobody really cares about Customer service. The 2nd star is for the barmaid.

  • 3/5 A F. D. 4 years ago on Google
    Good place. Staff are friendly. Prices a little bit could reduce. But it is okay. When they host live music bands... oh you couldn't resist to don't join wave.I liked this place. Have fun And for those friends who said this place charge more than they served... you should first pay then drink. So every drink or food... you pay. Simple Tonight...friday... live music was not good. You see in band faces: do this and come back home! I missed encourage of dorock bar at istanbul and swing bar at china.

    Walked in and when we asked for a seat were told 100manat. When asked about the other seats were told 50 manat. Bring charged to sit in a pub is ridiculous so we took out money elsewhere

    Typical Irish Pub in the centre of Baku, staffed by friendly and helpful staff. Had a few visits and received a warm welcome every time. Great atmosphere and various quality drinks. Variety of İrish beers.

    Great atmosphere with the love music, some of the best beer selection in the city. Very interesting crowd mix of expats, tourists, and local folks.

  • 3/5 Gaurav G. 4 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Irish bar without Guinness on tap😳, just bottled Guinness. Carlsberg, 1664 and local beer on tap here, and a wall full of Jameson. Not really Irish as per European standards. Empty on weekdays, but Wednesday onwards you can expect it to be filled to some extent, which really isn’t the thing in Baku. Some bars are just really empty. All in all a good place if you don’t mind the smoke inside. Haven’t encountered working girls here (even if they are here, they don’t smother you.. get the into) so that’s a plus 👍

  • 5/5 Shahriyar S. 5 years ago on Google
    Superb Place. Fast service, friendly stuff. Delicious snacks and good prices. Recommend to all.
