We made a reservation ahead a week ahead to ensure we don’t have to wait for a table. Upon checking-in we were taken table right away. The restaurant very nice Irish vibes with wall decor, art, sports gears and of course lots of green things. Other than tables and booths, they also had multiple huge bars.
The menu had a lot of Irish style appetizers and entrees. I ordered the Reuben sandwich that came with tasty corned beef, dressing sauerkraut and cheese in toasted rye. I liked the sandwich. My family also got the fish and chips, chicken tenders and veggie sheperd’s pie. Those were somewhat disappointing. The fried fish was decent, but chicken tender and the sheperd’s pie didn’t have the taste I was expecting.
The service was good. Our server was friendly. But the food took like 20 minutes to come out. The prices were high too as expected.

We stopped by Finnegan’s during our visit to Universal Orlando with mixed feelings. The atmosphere is lively and fun — it definitely feels like a classic Irish pub and is a nice break from all the theme park hustle. The staff was friendly and there were some great drink options to choose from.
When it comes to the food, it was pretty average overall. Some dishes — like the fish and chips and a few appetizers — were tasty, but a few entrees felt a bit under-seasoned or lukewarm at times, and portion sizes seemed inconsistent compared to what we expected. 
Service was decent but felt slower during peak crowds, which made the meal take longer than we hoped. All in all, it’s a solid stop if you want a casual spot with good drinks and a fun vibe, but the food quality wasn’t quite enough to make this a must-return place for us.

After hours of exploring rides and attractions inside Universal Studios Orlando, my husband and I were ready for a good meal — the kind that feels comforting after all the excitement. We decided to stop at Finnegan’s Bar & Grill, an Irish-style pub tucked right inside the park, and it turned out to be the perfect lunch spot.
The moment we stepped in, the atmosphere felt warm and lively — a mix of vintage Irish charm and the cheerful buzz of people relaxing after their adventures. The place was full but not chaotic. Wooden furniture, cozy lighting, and old-school décor gave it a nostalgic, welcoming vibe.
We ordered two dishes to share:
Red Dragon Burger – juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, served with thick-cut fries, crispy on the outside and soft inside. The bun was buttery and soft, and the topping — a crispy onion stick — added a nice crunch. It was classic, satisfying, and exactly what I hoped for in a theme park meal.
Bangers & Mash – true to its Irish roots. The sausages were rich and savory, placed over creamy mashed potatoes and topped with caramelized onions and a touch of gravy. Comfort food at its best — hearty, simple, and absolutely delicious.
We paired the meal with a glass of Harp Draft Beer, light and refreshing — the perfect choice for a lazy afternoon break.
Everything came together beautifully: the food, the cozy pub atmosphere, the friendly service, and the view of people passing by outside. It was such a pleasant pause from the rides and crowds — a moment to just sit, eat, and enjoy being part of the Universal magic.
By the time we left, the place was getting even busier, with the sound of laughter and clinking glasses filling the air. I could easily imagine this as the kind of pub where people unwind after a long day — just like we did.
If you ever find yourself hungry inside Universal Studios, skip the quick snacks and come here instead. Finnegan’s isn’t just a restaurant — it’s part of the experience.

This was one of the last places we had not dined at in Universal Studios. We wanted to get in before the shutdown for a remodel next year (2026). It has always smelled good when we walked past. I was excited to see several items on the menu, but we we not impressed with the quantity and quality of most of the items.
We had a reservation and had to wait about 15 minutes after our arrival time to get a table.
Food:
* Drunken Mussels – the best part of the meal – excellent portion size for two people to share, really good flavor. The only thing we would have liked was more bread to dip in the sauce – only includes two pieces. The waitress did bring us two more pieces, but said that was all she would be able to get us.
* Guinness Beef Stew – good flavor but the portion is small for the price. The bowl is probably about 1.5 cups (maybe two) and contains probably six pieces of beef.
* Shepherd’s Pie – good-sized portion, LOTs of cheddar cheese to make the crust and decent flavor (but not great). The cheese can overwhelm the flavor.
Service: We had a great waitress and support staff. Once seated, we had two people stop by to make sure we had our drink order taken.
Overall this is “average” and on par for Universal Studios. Hopefully when they remodel they update the menu.

We were hungry after riding Transformers.
Our waiter was cool and accommodating. We ordered the Potato and Onion Webb as a starter and it was pretty good. Then we got the Fish & Chips and the Bangers & Mash. The fish was juicy and flavorful with yummy, salted fries. My sis enjoyed the bangers & mash, but she felt the sausage could’ve been cooked more.
Other than that, it was a pretty good experience.

I love Irish food! I got so excited for red to see that there was a Irish bar and grill here. The Shepard pie was very good. The new castle chicken tasted amazing and my wife loved the fish and chips. The Cranberry Margarita was a solid choice as well. Definitely will try again!

Cute little Irish restaurant at Universal Orlando. Reasonably priced for a theme park restaurant and the food is good. I would recommend the wings, and the Irish coffee. Good portion size on the food as well. We ordered the Shepards pie, drunken mussels, cork chicken sandwich (bacon jam was good), fish and chips, and bangers and mash. There are a few vegetarian options here as well.

We had a great time at Finnegan’s Bar in Universal Studios Park! The atmosphere was super lively, and the food was delicious. It had that classic pub vibe that made it a fun place to hang out.
I ordered the salmon with salad and quinoa, and I absolutely loved it—fresh, well-seasoned, and super satisfying. The girls got the salmon sandwich, and they really enjoyed it too.
The only downside was that my Apple Pay card didn’t work on their machine, so I had to borrow some cash from a friend. But other than that, everything was great!

What a beautiful surprise! This gift made our 20th wedding anniversary even more special. Heartfelt thanks to everyone at Finnegan’s! The dishes were absolutely excellent, and the entire team was incredibly attentive. We truly recommend this place to everyone!

Darrell was very helpful as we walked in to be seated. He even asked if we had been there before and told us where the bathroom was. I thought that was really nice of him. My 4 stars are for Darrell and the taste of the fish. The service itself is slow. My cocktail drink seemed like it took 20 minutes to come, even though I saw it sitting at the bar for 10 minutes. The table next to us still didn’t have their food. We got our food before them, finished our food, and were waiting on the check as their food was coming out. It seems they were there for a while as I overheard them say they were leaving. It wasn’t crowded at all and no waiting to be seated, so I’m not sure what the hold up was. The fish with the tartar sauce was great, though once you moved, pass the grease.
