About this restaurant

Good for groups
Lively
Great for brunch

The original pub stood at No 3, South King Street, which is now part of the Shopping Centre. Don’t be disheartened by this, Sinnott’s has one of the rarest and most genuine pub atmospheres in Dublin. Until recently, it was believed that the pub was first licenced in 1840, however, new evidence shows that a licence first appeared in 1763! In 1840, the Malone family took over (no relation to Molly), and by 1850s Laurence Malone had made a deal with the Coach Office for the Enniskerry – Roundwood Coach service. Unfortunately, this service was never regarded as the most punctual one, often leaving well after the designated departure times, since both the driver and the passenger took full advantage of the pub’s hospitality.

I had booked a table for 15 people for dinner on Friday night. Upon arriving to the bar we were told (quite rudely) by the bouncer that because one of our party was wearing shorts we weren't allowed in, and that it stated so on their website. Bear in mind this was a sunny evening. Nowhere on their website or booking form does it state shorts are not allowed. They were also wearing smart chino shorts and a shirt. I asked to speak to the manager who reiterated what the bouncer told us, with no help or assistance whatsoever. This meant that at the very last minute I had to find somewhere alternative for 15 people to eat. Absolutely atrocious behaviour and attitude from their security staff and management.

We had a lovely meal last Saturday evening in Sinnotts. Perfect location as we were going to the Gaeity Theatre after dinner. Great food and wine and lively atmosphere. Highly recommend this bar/restaurant.

Although there was a big crowd for the Ireland match, staff held our table and treated us very well when people we expected did not arrive. The pulled pork quesadilla was very tasty, and they have a good selection of beers, including Neck Oil on tap and Erdinger in bottles. After the match finished (and other Tuesday evenings where there is no match), the big crowd left, and it was quiet and relaxing. Typically the customers are in their twenties, but the friendly staff made us feel welcme.

We stopped in for dinner and drinks before a show. Food was gorgeous- loads of veggie choices too and the cocktails are fab! It's a lovely place to go for quiet drinks and a catch-up. Staff very friendly too. Would give it 5 stars only for the stairs - there's a lot of them to get down to the pub.

The best sports bars in Dublin
Dublin and sport are inseparable. The city knows how to come alive around a big game — and the bar and pub scene knows how to match that energy. The best sports bars in Dublin offer far more than a screen and a pint: they bring together proper food, expertly poured drinks, and the kind of shared atmosphere that makes watching sport in a pub one of life’s irreplaceable pleasures. From a Georgian townhouse beside Merrion Square with a premium whiskey bar and a winter garden terrace, to a full-scale sports venue straddling O’Connell Bridge with 22 HD screens and a 12-foot indoor screen, the options in this city are broader and more interesting than ever. This guide covers the top sports pubs and match day dining spots in Dublin — and a few that do both exceptionally well. Find your match day base and book a table instantly at the best sports bars in Dublin on OpenTable.

FAQs

Business casual is the guide, neat and polished rather than formal, so aim for smart shirts or blouses and tidy trousers rather than very casual activewear.

Sinnott's feels like a traditional, sports-focused Dublin pub, a large downstairs space with lots of TVs, dark-wood touches and cosy seating, and friendly staff that keep the atmosphere warm and buzzy.

Sinnotts Bar is at its liveliest for big match nights and weekend sport, reviewers say it’s packed for major games, while reviewers also note Tuesday evenings with no match are quiet and relaxing.

Portions are generous, guests describe meals as wholesome and filling, and several visitors note the carvery and main dishes offer good, generous portions.

For big-match atmosphere, Saturdays are the best, reviewers report packed, lively sport nights; if you prefer something calmer, Tuesday evenings (when there’s no match) are often quieter and more relaxed.
