The city of Auburn offers many places to eat and drink, but few offer the atmosphere people will find at Fink's Craft Bar & Grill. Fink's is located at 230 N. Gay St. near the railroad tracks.
On the inside, Fink's has a certain charm to it that's hard to find elsewhere. The lighting is dim and the seating is plentiful. Modern fixtures hang from the walls. The bar is long and spacious, but the real eye candy is the draft beer wall.
At Fink's, beer is a way of life.
Mark Tesney, general manager with 10 years of experience, oversees the operation.
"Servers are put through training in styles of beers and how to make suggestions," Tesney said.
Tesney said the restaurant constantly brings in new brews.
"We got about six new types of brews in the past two days," Tesney said.
Fink's cycles certain specialty items in and out based on the types of beer that are in season at the time.
"We like to be as creative as possible," said owner Jeff Finkhousen.
Fink's passion for brews has made it a popular option amongst local college and graduate students, and older clientele as well.
With honey wine, classified as mead, honey ciders and a beer cocktail, Fink's has a variety of drinks it encourages patrons to sample.
