What happened after Food Paradise?
Food Paradise's "Bar Food Paradise" episode featured Finn McCool's Irish Pub in Santa Monica, California, spotlighting its Irish pub fare and bar food. Finn McCool's was an Irish-themed pub on Main Street in Santa Monica, known locally as a gathering spot for soccer viewing, live music, and pub food. According to Yelp's business listing, updated 2026-09, the pub is listed as closed at its former address of 2702 Main Street, consistent with Google's listing, which marks the same location permanently closed. No current website or social media activity for the business was found, and no replacement operating under the Finn McCool's name was located at the address. The pub's closure leaves the "Bar Food Paradise" episode as a historical record of a Santa Monica bar food destination that no longer operates under that name.
