FINNS Beach Club Restaurant Review
The Walking Critic | Canggu, Bali | December 2024
Visited FINNS Beach Club on 10 December during what has been a very wet rainy season period and although the skies were overcast, the crowds were still there in force.
FINNS must employ an army of security people, because when we arrived, they were all performing a drill outside, like soldiers on parade. There was also a rigorous search of bags before entering, including having to check in my DJI-OM gimbal (basically a selfie stick). I was okay with this, though slightly miffed as to why that was necessary, considering how many people were taking photos and videos inside. Either way, I was okay with this.
The music is pumping strong the moment you arrive and no matter where you go, from the restaurant to the pool and outside areas, it is loud and upbeat. Through in some live vocals and drums, and the party mood is ever-present and never ending!
When it came to food, we ordered a huge selection of sushi rolls and sashimi (one of which came with a disclaimer...."Don't Linger, Enjoy Me Fresh...please eat me within 10 minutes."). They really tasted great, though I have to say, by nightfall something made me run for the toilet....a lot! I have never had Bali belly in all the years I have been there, but this was not fun. It could not have been the ice, as I only drank Bintang.
Apart from that, FINNS is still a hugely fun Beach Club, though a little too overcrowded at times. I loved the mini shows with the elegant girls, drummer boys, dancers, roller skaters and the people with glitter ball heads! Many of the guests were in the mood to dance and strut their stuff, whilst others just chilled on loungers by the pool.
Sadly the weather was not perfect, otherwise it would been a lot more of a hit day. One other thing...FINNS has a free bus service which does a circuit around the area, which is brilliant. It comes around every 20 minutes and was perfect. Stop 7 was really close to our villa!
