Fun and Games
By
It’s all fun and games… until someone loses an eye. Then it’s entertainment!
Directly across from the world famous Pat O’Brien’s lies the Big Easy version of the Finnegan’s family of bars: Finnegan’s Easy. This small narrow bar is the favourite watering hole for those awaiting the nightly Haunted History Ghost tour. Between the hours of seven and eight it fills up and empties out with people grabbing a frosty beverage to accompany their thrills and chills.
At all other hours they cater to service industry, locals and tourists alike. Good beers range from Guinness and Harp to PBR and High Life. They also have a menu of delicious bar snacks such as fish and chips, and chicken tenders but their more local delicacies include fried mac-n-cheese bites, fried banana’s Foster bites and calamari. This is the place to get your deep fried munchy monster pacified!
While hanging out and enjoying your eat and drink, enjoy sports on one of three TVs, check your email on their free wi-fi connection, or get a buddy and enjoy one those great games you remember from your youth. Such games as Operation!, Connect Four, Fact-or-Crap, Battleship and more.
Every Sunday from 3pm-6pm Finnegan’s invites you to come and kick back, enjoy the courtyard and listen to the soothing tunes of the band Laissez Faire.
They operate under the traditional New Orleans hours: weekdays 3pm-whenever and weekends noon until the party stops!

Finnegan’s resides at 717 St. Peter St between Royal and Bourbon.
