Finnegan's Wake, Walpole, MA

Finnegan's Wake in Walpole, MA -- it's magically delicious! Now that we've got the Lucky Charms Leprechaun reference out of the way, let's get down to discussing Finnegan's Wake, Walpole's strongest case of "going green." Located in the basement of a former foundry building, the dark and cozy Finnegan's Wake serves some of the best Irish fare in the Boston area -- and plenty of beer on tap, to validate the Irish pub experience. Lunch and dinner standouts include the Guinness beef pie, roast turkey dinner, fish and chips, Irish potato pizza, Shepherd's pie and "toasties" (grilled ham, cheese and tomato -- all at tremendous value for the budget-minded. With the ultra comfortable bar and dining room areas enhanced by Irish colors, decor and furnishings, Finnegan's Wake is a beloved local dining spot -- perfect for small or large groups and even as a kid friendly place (free "Hoodsies" with every children's meal!). Owned by Irishman Tom Kirwin (a very nice fellow) who is often working hard at the restaurant and brightening up the place with his wonderful Irish accent, Finnegan's Wake is a very welcoming place to be and, now, with much-improved service (a sticking point in the past). Ultimately, Finnegan's Wake is indeed "magically delicious!" Our favorite dishes: As mentioned, the Guinness beef pie, roast turkey dinner, fish and chips, Irish potato pizza, Shepherd's pie and "toasties" (grilled ham, cheese and tomato.
