Finnegans

Finnegans

4.7(240 reviews)
93/100
Finnegans is a delightful cafe with cracking food and top service, earning a solid 4.7 rating, though it has a few niggles like untidy tables and the odd chilly corner.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely fresh and cooked to order, like those lovely poached eggs and thick sliced bread that make breakfast feel special.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to make you feel welcome and looked after.
Areas for Improvement
  • Occasionally, tables aren't cleaned properly before you're seated, which can put a bit of a dampener on things.
  • It can get a wee bit chilly in some spots, so you might want to bring a jumper if you're sensitive to the cold.

The Courtyard in Falkirk is a charming little gem with friendly faces and comfy stays, but it's not without the odd service slip-up that could dampen the fun.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and make you feel right at home from the moment you step in – it's that warm, welcoming vibe you hope for in a local spot.

The Auld Vic is a welcoming local pub in Falkirk with a solid 4.4 rating, perfect for a relaxed pint, chatting with mates, and enjoying the odd game or event.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a proper cozy spot with a traditional pub vibe that makes you feel right at home.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond, especially during special events or when things get a bit tricky.
Areas for Improvement
  • One downside is that bar staff can sometimes be on their mobile phones, which might feel a tad distracting when you're trying to get served.
  • It seems like the online presence is a bit lacking, with no website or claimed Google profile, so it might be harder to check details in advance.

The Woodside Inn is a delightful traditional pub in Falkirk with a warm, welcoming feel and cracking beers – ideal for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely charming and traditional, with original woodwork that makes you feel like you're stepping back in time.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of beers, ales, and malts – perfect for a proper pint after a long day.
Areas for Improvement
  • It might feel a bit too focused on football for those who aren't into the sport, which could make it overwhelming during match days.
  • Sunday hours wrap up earlier than the rest of the week, so it's not ideal if you're looking for a late-night spot on the weekend.

Pros and Cons

  • Friendly and welcoming staff who provide quick, attentive service, ensuring you feel right at home whether you're popping in for lunch or watching the footie.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can sometimes feel a tad quiet, as one person mentioned being the only ones in the bar, which might not suit those after a lively crowd.
  • While the grub and service shine, there doesn't seem to be much variety in the operating hours, all wrapping up fairly early, so it's not ideal for late-night gatherings.

The Orchard Hotel is a welcoming bar and bistro in Falkirk with charming vibes and solid grub, but it's got a few quirks that might catch you out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making you feel right at home with their warm Scottish hospitality.
  • It's in a brilliant spot in the heart of Falkirk, close to attractions like The Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel, and easy to get to Edinburgh or Glasgow.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food can be a bit hit or miss, with some folks reporting undercooked dishes or wrong orders, which is a real shame.
  • The rooms are pretty basic and can get noisy in the town centre, so it's not the quietest spot for a good night's sleep.

The Carronade Arms is a charming, traditional pub in Bainsford that's all about friendly vibes and a good old night out – a real local favourite with a solid 4.2 rating.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • It's a proper traditional pub with a warm, cosy atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed night out in the heart of Bainsford.

The Mill Inn is a cosy local pub in Falkirk with a warm, welcoming feel and affordable drinks, though it has a couple of minor drawbacks that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always up for a chat and making you feel right at home.
  • It's got a brilliant atmosphere with great music and a lively crowd, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Areas for Improvement
  • There's a mention of an eccentric regular who might make some visitors feel a bit uneasy, which could spoil the vibe for a few.
  • Based on the reviews, it seems like there might not be much variety in the offerings, as it's mostly about the basics without any standout features.

The Bluebell Inn is a cosy spot in Falkirk with a warm, sociable feel and friendly faces behind the bar, though it's not without a few hiccups that could put a dampener on things.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always up for a chat and making you feel right at home.
  • It's got a really cracking atmosphere, perfect for a good laugh and catching up with mates over a pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few dodgy incidents where things got a bit heated, like someone being asked to leave just for being from another town – not the most inclusive vibe.
  • Noise from the pub can be a real nuisance for folks living nearby, with complaints about loud music and parties going on late, which might spoil the fun for everyone.

The New Callendar Arms is a refreshed bar in Falkirk that's buzzing with good food and lively nights, but it has its off moments with portions and service.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The place has had a fantastic makeover – it's all newly refurbished and feels fresh and inviting, making it a real gem in Falkirk.
  • The food is generally spot on, with tasty options like halloumi burgers and mac and cheese that hit the spot, and prices that feel fair for the quality.
Areas for Improvement
  • Portions can be a bit on the small side, and some dishes like the steak pie might not live up to expectations in terms of quality, leaving you feeling short-changed.
  • Prices don't always match the value, with a few folks mentioning it's not worth the money for what you get.

The Carron Works is a solid Wetherspoon spot in Falkirk for affordable grub and drinks, with friendly vibes when it's buzzing, though watch out for the occasional slip-ups like cold plates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is generally spot on, with a cracking Scottish breakfast and plenty of options for veggies and non-veggies – it's a proper treat for a hearty meal.
  • They've got a vast menu with teas, coffees, and drinks galore, making it easy to find something for everyone, whether you're after a quick bite or a full dinner.
Areas for Improvement
  • Sometimes items are missing from the menu, like sauces on burgers, which can leave you a bit disappointed.
  • Food might arrive cold, even if you ask for it hot, which takes the edge off an otherwise nice meal.

Scotia in Falkirk is a welcoming local pub with friendly vibes and solid value, though it has a few niggles that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons

The Gin Lounge in Falkirk is a charming bar with a fantastic gin selection and a relaxed vibe, though it's a bit dear and not open every day.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of gins and cocktails is absolutely spot on – it's a treat to have such a beautiful variety to choose from, and you can even pick your own tonic and garnish for a personalised touch.
  • The atmosphere is really welcoming and cosy, perfect for popping in for a quiet drink or starting off an evening out in Falkirk.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can be a bit on the pricey side, which might put some off if you're looking for a budget-friendly night out.
  • It's only open a couple of days a week, so you'll have to plan ahead if you fancy a visit, which isn't ideal for spontaneous plans.
