Quick info
About The Finn
The Finn is a cocktail bar in Houston, set inside a European-inspired, art deco food hall at 712 Main St that brings together casual, diverse dining options, bars and a cocktail lounge. Its drink program is anchored by Cocktails, a popular offering, while the food side reflects the hall’s diverse dining format rather than a single kitchen. The Morning After Burger is a popular plate, and Bibimbap is another popular dish, giving the menu a mix of bar and international comfort options. The overall setup suits groups looking for a cocktail stop within a larger food-hall experience, with the art deco setting adding a distinct backdrop to the bar area.

Customer Review Summary
The Finn draws reviewers for its wide variety of food and drink options, with several naming specific dishes like the Morning After Burger, birria ramen, tacos from Papalo, and the Hawaiian coconut shrimp sliders. The cocktail and beer selection earns praise, with mentions of old fashioneds, IPAs, and a well received drinks menu at the HIFI bar on the second floor. The space is repeatedly described as a great spot to hang out with friends, with a bright, clean atmosphere and a good vibe. A recurring complaint is slow service, with one reviewer reporting a long wait for avocado toast and smoothies despite having only one order ahead of them. A few note that parking costs money, and one suggests bringing a layer because the dining area can feel cold.

“Went here on a Saturday and it was full of people. Very nice vibe and many choices to choose from. I tried all the tacos from Papalo and man they were all good. Maybe I was hungry, maybe I was greedy, maybe I'm talking too much and need to order another round of tacos.”

“Bring a down jacket if you want to eat in. Breakfast at the CrankyCarrot was good. Too many healthy option including juices.”

“Parking cost money which is to be expected in this area. Finn hall has a variety of restaurant options available. There’s even a bar for drinks so I think this would be a great place to take a date. It is also convenient for workers in the area.”
