The restaurant is spacious inside and has a large patio to enjoy the beautiful weather.  This restaurant gears toward adults, but you will find families with kids of all ages enjoying a great meal together. They host events throughout the year for New Year's Eve, Halloween, and, obviously, St. Patrick’s Day. Finnigan’s Wake gives back to the community by hosting a St. Baldrick’s Day fundraising event that has helped raise over $500k towards pediatric cancer research. They also contribute to many organizations in the community such as school supplies for WSFCS teachers, Spirit Gum Theatre Company, Project Pearl, March of Dimes NC, Forsyth Humane Society, and many more. 

Finnigan’s Wake opened with the goal of helping revitalize Trade Street, creating a space where the community can come together and enjoy great food. They have certainly accomplished this. You can find them on Facebook, and Instagram @fwpubwsnc.
