Moved to 18 W. 33rd St.

Checked October 15, 2026.

Overview

Now in new digs in the former Second Nature space on 2nd ave,the bar may be totally new, but it still remains the prototypical college dive.

History

The college dive that won't stay put

We had it at 108 Third Avenue, but it moved to 221 Second Avenue, re-established there in March 20091, 2. Our review caught the new digs: a totally new bar that was still the prototypical college dive.

The Second Avenue bar closed for good in December 2020, after the pandemic and a failure to reach an agreement with its landlord2.

Starlight Convenience now has the old 108 Third Avenue address3. Finnerty's came back in 2025 with a long-awaited reopening in Midtown, at 18 West 33rd Street4, where it bills itself as the San Francisco Giants' home away from home4.
