Who We Are
FiNNBAR serves a seasonal, produce-driven, and locally sourced menu of Italian and Mediterranean inspired dishes. Casual and beautiful, surprising yet not unfamiliar, with options for snacking with drinks, eating a quick meal at the bar, or having multi-course celebrations with a table of friends.
We believe that the diversity of ideas, experiences, and cultures that our employees contribute to our business helps us be better.
FiNNBAR strives to create a place where all people feel comfortable and safe in an environment that supports mutual respect, fosters professional and personal fulfillment, and rejects harassment, intimidation, and hate.
We will stand up for and embody our values of equality for all people, no matter the circumstances, and we will surround ourselves with people who share these values. We are committed to the communities we live in and serve.
