Another fantastic meal at Finn’s! This was our 3rd time at Finn’s. Just like the first two visits, the food and service has been exceptional. John and his staff are friendly and professional. If you haven’t tried Finn’s, you are missing out on a great experience. Start with some drinks and the Irish spring rolls. For an entree, the pesto chicken pasta or the pork chops are great choices.

Admittedly, Finn's is a place that I've frequented a lot during my time in Knoxville. And really, that should speak volumes on the experience that Finn's brings to the table. Located at the Baker Peters House - look it up, it's an intriguing tidbit of history - Finn's serves up well-crafted meals, well-rounded libations, and well-appreciated live music on an almost nightly basis.With live music blaring at the forefront, it may be easy to dismiss the presence of food - but that would be a grave mistake. Finn's consistently serves up delicious gastronomic Irish treats - meals such as corned beef, fish and chips, and cottage pie.Amongst the dishes I've personally enjoyed are the Guiness-brined Pork Chop, Corned Beef & Cabbage, Salmon Leap, and the Filet Mignon. Each one of these dishes are thoughtfully prepared in accordance with the theme, with some being served alongside their delicious, glazed carrots and house made mashed potatoes. Paired up with a beverage (plenty to choose from to match your meal), these dishes shine and round off one of my favorite experiences in the area.

This was a perfect place for a party of 11 to celebrate our UT graduate. The atmosphere was classic, the food superb, and the service couldn’t have been better. The bill being reasonable made it just perfect!! Thank you so much for helping make this special occasion so enjoyable!

Stopped by on a Wednesday night. Enjoyed everything about this restaurant. Nice corner table, pleasant volume level of music, waiter was very attentive. The hummus was great. My wife got the corned beef. I’m not much of a meat eater but this was very tasty. Old pictures and information about the Baker Peters house. Several draft beer options. Nice renovations since it was Baker Peters Jazz club. We’ll definitely visit again.

HANDS DOWN the best meal we have had in ages. We traveled from middle TN to the area for our one year anniversary, and we were treated like family. The drinks were delicious… the atmosphere was authentic and intimate… and the food was STELLAR! ?? My husband is very picky about his proteins, and he claims this is the best pork chop he’s ever had! I’m in awe. We met the owner as well, and he’s one of a kind! Don’t pass up a chance to dine at Finn’s. You’ll never be the same! Thank you John… and your team! And kudos to the chef! ❤️

Gross and unsafe. Went for birthday brunch. The service was good, but the food was cold. I tried to eat about half of it since I was pretty hungry, but cold, slimy biscuits and gravy is just gross. We told the server but nothing was done other than an "I'm sorry." Even canned gravy should be headed to 140+ to kill any potential bacteria. We won't be back.

I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. The atmosphere and entire set up is very charming and unique. I could’ve easily stayed all night admiring the place if possible. They had live music going too!I had one of the specials which was a filet topped with crab, mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. I didn’t have a bite left on my plate and it was easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. I wish I could eat it again as I’m typing this. My tables server Slater was very personable and attentive. The bartender Beau makes the best martinis. And I actually spent majority of my time talking to the host Chelsey!! She is an absolute delight and really sets the tone for the place. I’m so glad I finally went to this place and I can’t wait to go back! I can’t say enough good things about the establishment and their staff. 10 stars!

Loved the Scotch Eggs. The Fish and Chips were yummy, especially the Tarter Sauce. The Pimento Cheese dip was awesome, you definitely have to try it.

So I love the building where Finn's is located. It is a historical home built in 1830's, so it has a lot of character, so different from the many chain restaurants in the area. We had brunch and I had corned beef hash and it was excellent. The service was top notch and we enjoyed our experience. I have also been here for cocktails and I enjoyed the bar area.
