Finn's Pub might not be the most obvious choice when deciding where to watch a K-State game this season, but that in and of itself might make it worthwhile.

Finn's, 317 Poyntz Ave., prides itself on not being part of the Aggieville scene. Because they are far removed from the typical game-day stops, Finn's is able to offer something many Aggieville bars cannot - an open seat. In addition, the atmosphere and entertainment are quite different from what is typically found in an Aggieville bar.

Finn's is in all aspects an Irish Pub. The walls are painted a deep green and a dark wood bar runs half the length of the enormous establishment. The walls are adorned with Guinness signs and the room is filled with amusing diversions. There are six dart boards, three pool tables, two mega touch screens, a Golden Tee arcade game and a juke box. This leaves a lot of options for fans who like to multitask while watching the Wildcats play. Unfortunately, watching the game might be a bit of a problem.

Finn's has a paltry eight televisions, only one of which is a big screen. While this might be adequate for a smaller establishment, it is a huge problem for a bar the size of Finn's.

Another problem Finn's has is its food and drink selection. The menu consists of only a few appetizers and only six beers on tap. Finn's does offer Saturday drink specials for fans interested in watching the game without spending a fortune.
