The undisputed soccer bar of New Orleans and arguably the most storied football pub in the American South. Owned by Galway native Sean Kennedy since 2016, Finn McCool's is home to at least four supporter groups: the Krewe of Arsenal (New Orleans Gooners, founded 2010), the New Orleans Celtic Supporters Club, the New Orleans Spurs (official Tottenham Hotspur OSC), and a regular contingent of Liverpool, Chelsea, Everton, and Rangers fans. The pub opens at 10 AM on weekends for the full English Premier League schedule and shows Scottish Premiership, Champions League, MLS, and every US National Team match. During the 2022 World Cup, WWNO reported the pub became a 'melting pot of cultures' with fans from France, Morocco, Croatia, Australia, and more. A 2009 memoir -- 'Finn McCool's Football Club' by Stephen Rea -- documented the pub's soccer community and its survival through Hurricane Katrina. Nine indoor TVs and two outdoor screens. Over 50 Irish whiskeys and perfectly poured Guinness.
