Finnegan’s Bar & Grill (full-service) at Universal Studios Florida

What is Finnegan’s Bar & Grill?

A local favorite, Finnegan’s Irish character overflows like its drinks. Finnegan’s Bar & Grill serves up tons of hearty Irish fare with a menu full of unique (and many beer-battered) selections, while the friendly staff and the occasional live performers give the venue a great atmosphere. By the way, may we recommend the beer sampler?

Separate from the full-service dining that (usually) requires reservations, Finn’s has a full bar that any ol’ theme-park guest can walk right up to (you must be 21 or older to order alcohol, of course). For those looking for a cocktail, there’s truly no better place at Universal Studios Florida. This location is popular during seasonal event nights, like Mardi Gras and Halloween Horror Nights, because it serves real-deal mixed drinks from its full-service bar – that’s why we believe it’s the best bang-for-your-buck place for a drink at Universal. The regular bartenders are awesome, too!

Where is Finnegan’s Bar & Grill located?

In New York, which is in Universal Studios Florida. The restaurant has entrances across from Revenge of the Mummy and on Delancey Street, where the Blues Brothers Show calls home. You’ll enter the Mummy side to head straight to the bar.

Finnegan’s Bar and Grill – hours and reservations

Finnegan’s is open from 11:00 am until park close.

For reservations, book online (though this isn’t necessary for the bar).

Finnegan’s Bar and Grill – OI tip

If you’re looking for a free cup of water, consider stopping into Finnegan’s bar (if it’s not too busy) rather than waiting in a long quick-service line. The Finn’s bartenders are pros, used to slinging drinks quickly, and will usually be happy to hook you up.
