Sinnotts

I went to there with my friend and we had a good time with good drink.

They have a good deal of 2 cocktails for just 6 euros and huge food platters. Very good for big groups.

Maybe I am not a football fan and they were showing a match which changed the nice group conversation we were having to having to yell to each other in order to keep it going.
The platter we ordered was huge, we didn’t finish it even if we were 11 people. Food wasn’t great but it did the trick to soften the alcohol’s blow. The 2×1 cocktail offer was cheap so we didn’t mind that they were tasteless basically, and we tried a lot of them…

My boyfriend and I were attending my cousins birthday party at this bar. Upon arrival we were refused entry, no reason given. We were respectably dressed and we’ll composed.
The bouncers allowed about 10 people in while I tried to call my cousin to explain the situation. Most of the people that they allowed in were wearing hoodies and runners. My cousin came upstairs and after a while we were allowed in.
I have a strong feeling that we weren’t allowed in because we were holding hands as we approached the bar. The bouncer had dark hair with shaved sides and too much gel on top and is over 6 foot in height I would guess. I felt very uncomfortable and I have to say it is the only place in Dublin I have ever felt discriminated against. Do not go here. It’s not a particularly nice place to go for a drink under any circumstance.

I used to love this place; in fact, me and my colleagues have been going to Sinnotts every Friday for a year, but this place is right now DISAPPOINTING. The bouncers don’t let us go in anymore because they seem to have some «problems» with our foreign friends.
Please, if the manager of this place is reading this, I ask them to contact me for the full story. Otherwise, we will not be coming back.

Good place but don’t expect to find NFL football, at least not a specific game. Was trying to get the NY Giants game so stopped by in the afternoon to ask if it would be on. Promised me it would so went back at 6PM for the game. Not on so asked a few employees who said they would check. After about 30 minutes one finally came back and told me they couldn’t get it. Was surprised for a sports bar they weren’t too worried about finding the game, especially when most people in there didn’t seem to care about what was on.
If you dont care what game is on it seemed like a pretty cool place, I left to try and find my game somewhere else.

This place was recommended by a guy walking down the street wearing a Cleveland Browns T shirt. He told us they have NFL games on! Turns out to be a great sports bar! They had 2 NFL games on and also Rugby. The place was packed but we found seats at the bar and were promptly attended to. The Smithwicks were cold and they have a great menu… with several vegetarian offerings to boot! We loved it here! I had the veggie burger and Sandi had a veggie curry dish that was very spicy. Glad we went!

I have been in here a few times mid week and found the bar staff very unprofessional. Some of the staff seem to think its acceptable to treat customers like they are dirt? I was convinced they didn’t want our custom. I won’t be coming back here again.

It’s hard to rate this place accurately as I guess it really depends on what you’re looking for. It wouldn’t be my cup of tea at all, but as sports bars go, I would say that it would probably rate quite highly.
There are about a million screens of varying sizes, no daylight to interrupt viewing, lots of seating, and good value booze and food.
There’s a big central bar with a good few staff so that you don’t have to wait to long to be served, so all up, it’s a ‘does what it says on the tin’ kinda place!

The Security were the nastiest piece of work I have had to deal with in my lifetime. My boyfriend and I went there for a 21^st and they would not let us in (I don’t drink and my partner had only had a beer). I asked them the reasons and they refused to. When this happens I assume it is because I am foreign yet my boyfriend is Irish, that said, both security men and the manager were foreign too. Apparently the club has this policy of not disclosing their reasons of refusing admittance to customers which is far from legal and very suspicious (shall put a complaint through the Equality Tribunal). This said, once we managed to get in, the place was far from nice, it was very much overpriced and dirty as well as populated with shady characters. Drinks are incredibly expensive for a place of this type. Will stick to classier bars next time.

Perfect place to watch a game, any game. Lots of TV so you can’t miss a thing.
Excellent craft beer selection, very friendly bar staff.

The guard in this place is RACIST! after eating i went out to speak to, a, friend. When i came back they didn’t let me in. I insisted because my stuff were inside and the guard screamed at me and told me that I am, too DARK and SMALL for this place…

This pub has been around a long time and has stood the test if time for sure. Still buzzing with good tunes and a fun crowed. 2 cocktails for € 6 before 9 is definitely a crowd pleaser with no half measures.

Met the beau and his colleagues on a Friday night — I actually rather liked the venue. Loads of seating — we managed to bag 2 tables between 8 of us.
A pint of Smithwicks Pale Ale was € 5 which was very reasonable in that part of town and of course you have 2-​for-​1 cocktails. The latter is a bit hit and miss though — the strawberry mojito was pretty strong, but the appletini just tasted like juice!
I think the favourite of most people is the strawberry daiquiri… we had about 8 of them on our table at some point!

Sinott’s was the first place we went to eat when my husband and I were in Ireland. It has a really cool atmosphere and the food is good. We both really likes the buffalo wings. We actually went back for them during our trip.

Stopped for a quick bite of food last Thursday evening with two friends. While the food was ok, the service was rather poor. We ask for menus from two waitresses who seemed to be finding customers more of an inconvenience than part of their job.
I understand the place was busy, but that’s still no excuse for the blasé attitude. We were not asked if we wanted drinks with our food order, nor was any indication given that we should go to the bar to get some. After trying to get the attention of many staff, we eventually got drinks with our meal.
We also tried to get their attention to order an additional item with our meal, unfortunately the waitresses were just too busy to see us! Eh, ever heard of checking the customer is enjoying their meal?
When paying the bill, the waitress stood over us until we handed over the money. I’m not sure if it was because of the busy night or just her poor etiquette in general, but I find this extremely rude. If I was going to run off without paying, I wouldn’t have asked for the bill!!!
A bit of training in customer service and a refresher course in manners wouldn’t go astray with the ladies working here.

Este pub e fantástico!!! E o sonho de todo homem, muita cerveja, mesas com chopeira, teloes enormes por todo canto e jogo de futebol de toda Europa. Comida rústica a base de carne vermelha, com apresentação simples mas saborosa. Localização central de fácil acesso perto da Grafton Street, a única rua de compras na cidade.

This place can be really hit or miss. They do good drink deals Thursday through Saturday, and it’s normally not too crowded, so if you’ve got a group of people and want to be able to get a table or sitting area, it’s a good choice. They’re a good sports watching place, because it’s big, with lots of TVs and a big screen in front. Sometimes it can be really empty, and because it’s really big, and it’s downstairs, when it’s empty it can feel like you’re kind of isolated from the world…
I’ve never really done cocktails here, just beer — based on other reviews, that might be a good thing. We did order a tray of food — word of advice, the «For Two» platter of food is enough to feed a chubby family of 8… or at least 4 – 5 grown men. Heaping with fried goodies, it is a TON of food, all fried, so order at your own risk!

Stopped in for some drinks with the new work colleagues on Friday, an absolute gem of an afterwork spot!
There are some great drinks deals on a Friday evening (two for one cocktails!) and a rather reasonable € 5 for a lovely pint of Tiger. The only downsides I can see to Sinnotts is that it’s underground so you wont get any signal and there’s no dedicated smoking area, although going upstairs to stand in the seated area outside isn’t the worst, its a nice area and good for people watching!
I can see this becoming a dangerously regular thing for work nights out…

Totally recanting my previous review.
Went there with a group of friends. We got there at 6pm. Every surface was covered in spilled drinks and soppy menus. There was no clean spot in sight, and it didn’t seem that staff cared enough to clean it up.
We finally got a table and ordered some drinks. We split the margaritas, raspberry daiquiris, long islands, appletinis and killer punches.
The drinks sucked.
Well except for the killer punch.
Seriously though.
They were made so carelessly, and when we brought it to the attention of the bartenders and management we were laughed at, yelled at, and basically kicked out.
We’re American college students ready to throw down money for a good time — they just lost hundreds of dollars on us.
Never been so mistreated and disrespected at a customer service establishment in my life.

I went here recently and found the atmosphere here to be a bit greasy.
In terms of sport watching, there’s a good few projectors to watch the match, so it fits the bill for that, but there are other places that are better

Das Sinnotts befindet sich direkt unter dem St Stephens Green Shopping Center und man würde von aussen nie erahnen, wie riesig dieses Pub ist. Auf 2 großen Leinwänden läuft ununterbrochen ein Sportkanal und speziell bei großen Sportveranstaltungen ist das Sinnotts der ideale Anlaufpunkt. Allerdings muss man vor großen Spielen früh (1 – 2 Stunden vorher) dort sein, sonst kommt man nicht mehr rein, denn der große Raum füllt sich erstaunlich schnell.
Man kann aber auch einfach nur zum Feiern dort hingehen. Es werden Charthits und Partymusik gespielt und man wird, auch wenn der Laden voll ist, recht schnell an der inselförmigen Bar bedient.
