We hit the east Cork town of Midleton the other night to check out some of their many pubs. The first we decided to head into was Finins bar and restaurant. I liked this bar from the moment i walked in. It is small and has quite a lot of character. There are some interesting paintings on the walls. The bar staff were very welcoming to us strangers and dropped the pint of Murphy’s i ordered over to my table. The pint was enjoyable and no complaints there. There was a few other customers in the bar and they were enjoying bar food. We were asked if we wanted to eat and were tempted but had, had our dinner before we left home.
The toilets are out towards the back of the bar and are small but were very well maintained i am glad to say. There are two photographs in the toilets. One is an old picture of Midleton’s main street where the pub is situated. I didn’t see the restuarant upstairs but judging by the bar food i am sure it is very good. A very good start to my tour of Midleton.
Toilet rating: 8/10
Pint rating: 7.5/10
Overall rating: 7.5/10
Final comment: Finins appeared to be more of a place you would have food than a drink. That said, we enjoyed it for a quiet weeknight beverage.
