Authentic local bar in the middle of lovely Clonakilty town. Open music sessions, mostly trad, every Friday and Saturday night. Visiting musicians welcome to join in. Have a chat with the locals and the bar staff to find out what else is going on in town.

This is a hidden gem. The approach signposting is a little wayward, but the end justifies the journey! The temptation to refurbish or reconstruct has been resisted. It is easy to understand the layout of the buildings and understand how a strong farming family like the Collins lived. The events of the final days of the farmhouse are well presented. Do remember to visit the 4 Alls just up the road to see the beautiful Seamus Murphy memorial to Michael Collins.

Friendly Local bar, serving tasty food 7 days a week. Great atmosphere for all live sporting occasions shown on our 7 screens. Regular weekend entertainment complimented by an expansive choice of Cocktail, Gin & Wine menus.
Visited Finns twice while on a short staycation in Clonakilty and surrounding areas. With the new regulations regarding the need to have food in bars it ticked all the boxes. The Buffalo wings were a perfect accompaniment to my pint of creamy Guinness, whilst my wife was full of praise for the nachos. Went back for a full meal the following evening and the gougons are highly recommended. Felt very safe in this new era of socialising with hand sanitiser on entry and well spread out tables. Staff could be seen sanitising regularly also. Will return and recommend .
