Finn's Neighborhood Pub — Restaurant in Manhattan

We go to Finn's a lot. Always have great drinks and a great time. This time was different. My wife, adult daughter and I went and enjoyed some drinks after a slice at AJ's on 7/12. All was good until I went to check out. Earlier on, I noticed a sign at the register that said if you leave an unpaid tab over $100, you will be auto charged a 20% gratuity. That's all good and makes sense IF you leave without closing out your tab. I went to pay and the format of the receipt seemed different.. still all good. I then noticed that my tab was over $100 and I was auto charged a 20% tip! We were literally 10 ft from the bar actively ordering drinks. We did not leave without paying.

They didn't have a food menu which was was a bit of a let down but the draft beer was cheap and cold and the one elderly man bartender was friendly and pleasant. I could see myself having more than a few drinks after a long days work if I was a local myself. Seemed like a great place to escape from the hotel and experience the true salt of the earth small town feel. I would recommend to anyone moving through the area that wanted to experience small...

Very much your standard neighborhood bar. Nothing wrong with it, people are usually friendly and the drinks are usually made decently enough. For being a local bar, it is nice that it doesn't feel dirty and dingy.

I've been a few times to Finn's and in general it's always been a decent experience. When we go with groups of ladies, we find that there's always a few men that like to leer extra long and hard which we find a bit disconcerting, but luckily none of bothered to do more than that just yet. I can't always say the same for other bars we've gone to in town.

But by and large, this bar definitely has its share of regulars who are friendly and inviting. I'll definitely continue to come here when it hits the rotation for our...
