sine irish pub and restaurant

sine's (shuh-naezz) is the bestpubin richmond.....period.
the place is buzzing with people on most weekdays as well.
they serve a large variety of beers and cocktails.
i recommend their whiskey with rebbull upside down.

the staff is quick and warm.
especially with the chaotic crowd, their work is exceptional.

fun pub.good food

good food and lots of it!. yes, it's noisy . . . it's a bar! ! nice selection of beers on tap! an eclectic menu and, for downtown richmond, moderately priced. nice portions - leftovers in the frig are calling to me. the mashed red skin potatoes and green bean rounded out my plate and are delish. i had a properly grilled skirt steak (mr) and my bride had the crab cakes - excellent! with a salad and the hot fudge brownie & ice cream . . . we rolled out the door!
ignore the reviewer with the nyc irishpub& guiness beer "issues" - he never says anything constructive about sine' - except, he doesn't like the floors (fortunately, i didn't eat my dinner on the floor, i sat at a nice table with silverware and a linen napkin ! ).
worth a look!

when irish eyes are smiling. i once got caught up with a group of people in new york excited about st patrick's day and wearing lots of green to prove it. they took me to an irishpuband tried to convince me of the rectitude of several things that are patently untrue.
the first of these is that guiness is nice and/or good for you. it is not. it is a pretty foul drink invented as a substitute for solid food. you could do better with squid's ink, vodka and a reasonable blender. the other was that being in the middle of a screaming drunken crowd of people claiming some sort of connnection to "the auld country" is in any way a fun thing to do. or that listening to the appallingly mawkish ballads that pass for irish folk music and make conversation impossible guarantees for a good evening. it dont.
to this list of unpleasant things to do in the evening the sine irishpubhas managed to add a menu that appears to have been the result of an irishman fighting with the founder of mcdonalds. it is uneatable. you would have to completely drunk to order it and helplessly intoxicated to eat it.
the barn-like floor area is uninviting and the staff indifferent. i never doubted that the irish came to american to find a better life, but that they thought their idea ofpublife would improve it was cleary wrong. try it and see.
