## Story

The family-owned, Southern California tavern concept offers an approachable menu that does not cut corners. Everything is made in-house, from sauces to pizza dough and its custom burger blend of chuck, brisket, and hanger steak. Craft beer is also a signature, with 30 options on tap, all brewed in California.

Finney's restaurants are rustic and laid back, featuring brick sourced from old buildings in New England, wood from a fence in Wyoming, and unique copper-topped bars. The chain has grown quickly since its founding in 2016 and recently expanded to Las Vegas for its first location outside of California.
