Finnegan's Can Pastilla — Restaurant in Palma

If you’re looking for a proper drink in Palma — skip the tourist traps and head straight to Finnegan’s in Can Pastilla. Not just for the quality pints, but for the man behind the bar: John.

He’s not just the owner — he is the experience. From the moment you step in, John makes you feel like a regular. Welcoming, funny, down-to-earth, and always ready with a story or a recommendation, he’s the reason people keep coming back. You don’t just get served a drink — you feel like you’re part of something.

The bar itself has everything you want: perfectly poured Guinness, ice-cold beers, great music, and a genuine atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else in Palma. But it’s John that takes it to the next level. The man knows how to run a bar and how to make you feel like it’s yours too.
