Overview
- New photos show the facade partially removed and the interior stripped to the studs behind green construction walls that say “Oh Shucks! We’re closed through 2026.”
- Finnegan’s sits in the park’s New York area near Delancey Street, just around the corner from the Revenge of the Mummy ride.
- Permit notes shared by theme-park reporter Alicia Stella indicate a year-long project that includes bathroom remodeling and a target to reopen in winter, which Universal has not confirmed.
- Reporters on site describe the scale as far beyond a quick refresh, noting the awning and the classic “Ales – Finnegan’s – Wines” sign have been removed.
- Fans say the closure removes a key sit‑down spot that let groups rest and regroup, which could change how people move through and experience the New York streetscape.
