Building Up Jax: Fionn MacCool’s closes tonight; Town Center area updates

FIONN MACCOOL’S FAREWELL AT THE LANDING

Longtime Jacksonville Landing tenant Fionn MacCool’s Irish Pub & Restaurant will close permanently after tonight.

The restaurant announced their farewell party on Facebook late last week and will close out their tenure at the Landing tonight with live music until midnight and green beer specials.

Their other location near Ponte Vedra and Nocatee will be unaffected. It’s currently unknown whether the restaurant intends to reopen in another downtown location.
