Finn's Craft Beer Tap House — Restaurant in Barnstable

We were there for an event. There was an open bar for about an hour. Unfortunately they seemed understaffed because it was difficult to get a drink for that entire time. Either from a waitress or from going directly to the bar. They were too busy, and I got the impression that they weren't fully prepared for the number of people who came from our party (in fairness it was big). As soon as the open bar ended, there was an upsurge in waitstaff taking orders. Now that they could make more money off of us they were interested in circulating in the party and starting tabs. Many of us did that, but as the night ended so did their internet. And we were unable to pay tabs started on credit cards. They directed us across the street to another bar so we could use the ATM and give them cash. Not great as a capper to the evening. While that issue wasn't their fault, it was emblematic of the overall vibe we had, which is that they weren't fully prepared or equipped for the evening event. The food was great and so was the beer, but logistically they need to work on getting their...

TLDR: Come for the craft, stay for the draft.

Not bad at all for a Monday night, especially being at the end of the strip and a little off the main path. The DJ who I’m guessing might be the older owner was running a musical bingo off an iPhone shuffle. He was peppy considering it was a small Monday crowd. though I’d recommend letting a song play for more than a minute at a time for the rest of us not playing along.

Service was quick and friendly. The beers were hit or miss. Definitely local, that I very much respect, but with the local quality swings you’d expect. The vibe leans millennial: old wooden boarded walls, stickers on the doors, a decent little private patio, Edison bulbs, and an entertaining room with a projector screen. I tried a gin and tonic, and they had one local gin that was pretty good.

Didn’t try the food, so I can’t comment there.

Overall, this place does what it sets out to do. The sign says craft beer, and that’s the reason to come.

Go for the beer and you won’t be disappointed. Otherwise, you may want to...

My boyfriend and I went to a BUNCH of restaurants and breweries in the few days we were in Hyannis, but this was by far our favorite place. Like a review mentioned below, this place really is a hidden gem. We were only going to get drinks, but the apps sounded SO good we decided to get food. If you like caprese sandwiches, you have to get the caprese panini. It was like a caprese grilled cheese, it was very very good. We also shared the pretzels, and we agreed this was a contender for one of the best pretzels we've ever had. The honey mustard sauce that it came with was really different, and we really enjoyed that. I am more of a cider drinker, and they did have a really tasty cider on the menu that I highly recommend. We didn't have live music when we were there, but we heard it when we walked by later that night and it sounded awesome. Next time we are in the area this will be...
