Finn McCool's Irish Sports Pub , located in Schaumburg & Crystal Lake in Illinois. Bringing a taste of Chicago's pub scene to the Suburbs, with a decor of rich, dark woods, stained glass, a large fireplace and a collection of Celtic artifacts peppered with music and sports collectibles to create a fun and colorful montage throughout the pub. "Finn McCool's captures the spirit of Irish warmth and hospitality, with a dash of downtown energy," said Mark Hoffmann, who along with Fred Hoffmann owns and operates Finn McCool's as well as dozens of other bars and restaurants in Chicagoland. "It's great to bring a classic Chicago pub to the suburbs". The name Finn McCool's comes from ancient Irish legends. Finn McCool (or Finn Mac Cumhail) was the greatest of the mythological Celtic heroes and leader of the Finians, the elite warrior band that guarded the high king of Ireland . Finn McCool's goes beyond typical pub food with more than 50 distinctive dishes on the menu, plus daily food specials. Finn McCool's is open serving both lunch and dinner. Tons of large extra-bright flat screen TVs provide full coverage of the day's sporting events. Tabletop speakers are available that can be tuned to each individual table's game of choice to hear the play-by-play. Patrons can also play sports and trivia video games on the NTN satellite network using cordless "playmaker" units to compete with players in bars across North America ... And Much Much More!

Service was not good. Walked in, seat yourself, didn't get waters till 10mins later. Place didn't seem busy. We walked out. Server seemed more invested in the bar folks than the tables.

Drinks were cheap. Service was prompt but transactional. Nothing beyond call of duty, but it was only one and they were busy. Food was good. Worth going for the food quality and prices. Lots of...

Great food and I have never had a problem with the service there either. Try the fish and chips. You can never go wrong.
