Fionn MacCool’s

Went on the weekend to have a drink with some friends. Great atmosphere, friendly staff!
We had a couple local beers and fries, and they all tasted great.
Definitely recommend and I will be going there again!

This is a nice Irish restaurant with a good atmosphere of out for some drinks. The service is excellent along with the good. They have one of the best poutines but however they took off one my favourites which was the chicken skewers, they were so damn good. I didn’t even up going back after the last time finding out it was off the menu and the reason being was revamping the menu. From pictures on Unilocal,I will go back to try their blarney fries.

This was my first time trying out this pub, i really like the atmosphere, it’s not too rowdy and the live music entertainment every night gives the place a nice vibe. It helps support local artists which i find a plus and creates interaction for the audience/​guests. The food was very good, although a tad pricey, but not as expensive as a place like the Keg or Cold Creek Canyon. Despite that, you DO get what you pay for! My friend and I tried the warm chips and dip, french onion soup and pie fries, all were very delicious and well worth the price. I dont drink, but my friend had their Ginger Mule and she said it was one of the best cocktails shes had, and she drinks a lot lolz. On another note some of the staff were kinda rude, i believe it was due to the late hour we were there (we arrived at 9:30 pm, left around 11:00pm) and that they were tired, however as a worker in the service industry myself i know that no matter how tired or grumpy you are (because lets face it we all have bad days) you always gotta keep a smile on your face! And make the customers welcome. Other than that, overall a great experience, awesome traditional celtic Scottish bar! :D

I’ve seen these franchises popping up around the city, so decided to give this one a try since it was in the area.
The first thing I noticed was it seemed far darker than general restaurant or pub lighting. The skirts and Irish theme was alright, but it seemed inconsistent with the menu style and signage around the place. It seems that the printed material has been updated to represent a new, cleaner cut brand and experience that isn’t anywhere close to what you experience inside the restaurant.
Floors were a bit sticky and grungy, which I could get over if it was a true pub. But it’s not. It’s a franchised restaurant trying to fake being a pub, and it fails at that. Anyway, onto the food.
We started with the Beet Hummus Dip which was excellent. For my main course, I was expecting to have Pub Food, but after seeing the strangely diverse menu I decided to order the Chicken Tikka Masala Curry. Again, Indian dishes at an Irish Pub… doesn’t make much sense. The dish was brutal, but that’s what I get for ordering Indian food at a Pub and expecting something even remotely close to edible. Why this is on the menu is beyond me.
We ordered water to drink and that wasn’t received well. The waitress was more interested in her tip than doing her job.
Below average service, below average food, and overall a very confused franchise trying to be something it is not.

Food is good… not «wow» but good… atmosphere is lively but a bit dark.
Service is better than food so worth coming and trying… I think you will enjoy it!

Went for the first time, and had a great experience. Great service, food was amazing.

Really poor service in the bar area. Grumpy waitress is an understatement. Only 3 types of bottled beer available. Very rare for me to write a negative review. Won’t be back

Great atmosphere, staff very friendly! The brownie dessert just hit the spot… warm brownies with a chocolate caramel drizzle… Just melts in your mouth… Was all gone before I could snap a pic. Looks like I gotta make another visit… Who’s up for dessert???

Great selection of beers and a beautiful patio to sit out on! Good pub food and friendly staff

This place is so kewl. Nice heated patio. Great beer. I love their Blarney fries. It’s basically nachos with waffle fries instead of chips (picture below). Innovation! Very tasty. Once you go Blarney you will never go back to nachos. Great service. Free WiFi.

I always head over here when I want a nice pub feel but without driving all the way downtown. They have great staff!
Good list of drinks, and best of all. the lamb pie! This is the most delicious thing I have had in a long time. Every single time it tastes just as good.
Whenever their patio is open, I love being there. Nice peaceful environment.

This place has such poor servers, I waited for a waitress to get me a drink for half an hour you’re better off just walking up to the bar. The bathrooms are atrocious. There’s always broken locks, clogged toilets, and toilet paper all over the floor so you have to check your shoes every time you leave. And to top it all of the DJ sucks

Went to eat at this place for a work party. I chose something on the menu called rover bites, and unfortunately these little things sent me to the bathroom at 3:00am in the morning. I’m just warning anyone who wants to try the rover bites from there, it will send you to the toilet. Other than that, the atmosphere was nice and everyone else’s food looked awesome and tasty.

Get the downtown Pub feel without travelling all the way downtown!
The restaurant is located in borderline Woodbridge-​Brampton area, but it really stands out, even from the outside. Once we walked in it felt like the downtown location (darker «Cheers» type atmosphere) just not as busy. We did go good there at a time when a band was playing (Thursday evening). This is a great place to enjoy beers on tap. There is also a nice patio with a big screen to enjoy the game outdoors.
The staff is friendly however they don’t come around too often when it is busy so you’ll have to flag them down for your second pint.
As for food, it’s usual pub food, sometimes with an Irish twist, such as Guinness poutine and rover bites. There is also a good selection of Sheppard’s pie and Boxty.
It does get extremely busy during St. Paddy’s day, which is no surprise, but you shouldn’t have a problem getting a seat on other days.
I would recommend this bar over any that are around this area.

Wow. Check out the nutritional info. Salads with 35−70g of fat, and that’s without chicken or salmon. Plain Cesar salad, 700 calories with 70g of fat. And just when you thought eating salad was healthy…

Seems like an OK spot. Was staying at a hotel nearby. We went to try and get breakfast, and, this is one of the only locations in the chain which does NOT serve it. I’ve eaten at Fionn’s before, and, if you’re in the mood for good pub grub, try it out.

I’m so happy that this place opened up in my area. I have been here a few times since it’s opened last year and I must say the staff are very friendly. I have brought my friends and family and they all like it. A must try item is the blarney chips, they are really tasty.

Good times had by all, the craft beer special Thursday was a nice bonus, the service was friendly, the food was tasty and the atmosphere was wide open, but still had a homely feel.
There aren’t too many Irish pubs in the Vaughan area, and this one tops all nearby. The mini Yorkshire puddings are awesome. Once I realized this was owned by the same corporation as D’Arcy McGee’s, which I visited in Ottawa, I had to get them for the wife to try out. The burgers were cooked well and were juicy and filling. The gravy on the poutine wasn’t too bad and it even tasted like they used real cheese. I tried the avocado bacon burger which was a great choice, but even though there were good portions of avocado it really was over powered by the bacon. Filling and a nice compliment to the $ 5 pints of Steam Whistle.
I would definitely be back and recommend to anyone in the area.

I had never been to a Fionn MacCool’s before this visit, but I had heard good things. Well, those things were all proven true!
A really warm and inviting Irish Pub, although it’s brand spanking new, it still has a nice comforting ambience.
The staff was extremely friendly and made good, honest recommendations. I tried an appetizer that I can’t remember the name of (Dublin chips?) but it was basically lattice cut fries with nacho toppings. YUM. Talk about fast service too — I think we only waited 5 – 10 mins for it to come to the table after ordering. The rest of the menu had regular Irish pub fare.
The piece de resistance — RED VELVET DONUTS. Oh my gosh — these are like warm crispy soft donuts from heaven. You get four freshly made donuts with white chocolate sauce to pour over them. WHITE CHOCOLATE SAUCE!!! They smelled like birthday and happiness. I would go back every day for the donuts alone. They are THAT good!
I’ll have to come back to check out their live music which they have Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Yay for Live Music venues! :)

Staying at the «Element» hotel across the parking lot. a very quick walk makes this place really handy.
Irish themed pub with a multitude of beers on tap and very pleasant waitresses to serve them.
I had Salmon for dinner… and for pub food, wow, really good!
For a new place… and on a Tuesday night, pretty busy!
If you are in the area I don’t think you can go wrong. Give it a try!
