The old manager was (allegedly) arrested? Guess that would explain the door policy being rigidly enforced these days... still an average pub, mostly decent clientele. Not the worst, at any rate.

The smell could well be the drains which are permanently blocked up and spew raw sewage back through the floors into the toilets or out into the beer garden at the side. Or it could be the smell of dead mice, whch are infesting the whole pub, including all over the kitchen, apparently. I wouldn't eat there either if I were you.
As for the health and safety boys they would have a field day in the place!

This place really went up in my estimation once it stopped letting in blatantly underage. That said that only happened after the old manager was arrested.

The pub is packed with students so, obviously, the crowd is quite young. You also get those following the football turning up en masse as Finnegan's and O Niell's are the only good places for football in the broadway (and, no, I haven't forgotten The Townhouse). It's a very large, reasonably open pub with a lot of seats.

This is one of the few places that I insist on drinking bottles as the draught beer is very poor here. Old stock with little gas. The regular barstaff are, generally, competent (which is rare) although the pub could do with more of them during big matches and at the weekend.

My biggest gripe with this pub is that it absolutely STINKS. The smell of an open sewer no matter how far you are away from the toilets is the main reason I don't drink in Finnegan's unless I'm dragged there. I cannot fathom how the management have done nothing about it or how they've been allowed to get away with it by the health and safety boys at the council. It's disgusting.

With the smell 5/10, without 7.5/10.
