Nice meal. It is more along the lines of comfort food than delectable. Shepherd pie and Scottish eggs are excellent. It was a good experience, though I would not do the eggs again. It's just personal preference. The pure would be a comfort food repeat. The atmosphere makes the place. Brett has an authentic Irish pub feel. The wait staff is exceptional in attitude, service, and attentive service. Overall, I recommend you give theses folks a try.
Ah, Finigan's Wake in Winston-Salem! You're right, it's a bit of an anomaly, like a boisterous Irish pub that stumbled into a Southern town and decided to stay. It's this delightful mismatch that makes it so special. Just like Joyce's novel, it's a bit of a puzzle, a place that defies easy categorization. You wouldn't necessarily expect to find such a lively, authentic Irish pub in Winston-Salem, but there it is, holding court and drawing in crowds. And while the book is notoriously complex, Finigan's Wake the pub is refreshingly straightforward: good food, good drinks, good company. You hit the nail on the head with the food. "Ungodly, savory, and delicious" is a perfect description! Those generously portioned appetizers at those prices? It's a steal. And the fact that they cater to vegans with such a wide variety of options makes it even better. It's the kind of place where everyone feels welcome, whether you're a die-hard carnivore or a dedicated plant-eater. And you're spot on about the atmosphere too. It's a place to hang out, relax, and enjoy the craic. The staff are friendly and efficient, adding to the overall warmth and conviviality. Unlike its namesake, Finigan's Wake the pub is no puzzle. It's a solution to the craving for a hearty meal, a friendly atmosphere, and a good time. It's a classic in its own right, a Winston-Salem staple that continues to surprise and delight.
We traveled 74 miles to eat at this restaurant for a second time. The food is amazing. The atmosphere is great as is the service. It is a busy restaurant so you mat have to wait to be seated but it is worth the wait. Having moved to the US from England. I love to seek out British/Irish/Scottish restaurants. This has to be one of the best l found.
Love this place! I had my first drink for my 21st birthday here, and the bartender was extremely nice and helpful picking drinks for me. Now years later they still have great service and great food. The atmosphere is always great too, never too rowdy or quiet.
This is my all time favorite pub! I’ve been coming for years and they never disappoint!! Wonderful vegetarian options and the drinks are delicious. Liz is absolutely phenomenal, always a pleasure to see her beautiful face!
