sine irish pub and restaurant

food is great and most of thestaffis awesome but when it turns into a night club and the security guys are there some of thestaffthink they are there to party with friends. the server at the next table was jumping around and spilled a full drink on a person in my party and the appology was half assed at best. and she continued how she was acting, it turned out to be the box "security girlfriends and he paid more attention to her than his job while we were there. management was informed and just didn't seem to care how thestaffacted and would stand behind thestaffwhen they were wrong. i will never return because of management and a few staff.btw those who knew what services is were tipped well.( cook, original waiter and bartender andstaffalso said management didn't listen to them when good employees complained so i am sure anything on here will be met with the same effort. avoid this place after about 9.

sine's (shuh-naezz) is the best pub in 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.

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

food is great too.

one of the best places i've visited in my life. i had a chicken sandwich , the best one i've had so far. one complete breast covered in a blanket of cheese , melted cheese , tomatoes no lettuce. that's to die for. thestaffis amazing and so friendly. would love to go back anytime.

great bar. they should 86 the food menu. have visited several times(mostly for drinks). if i was starving and had no other choice but to eat at sine, then i would but that's only if its a life or death situation. the food, in concept and execution is absolutely horrible and the service even worse. microwaved green beans accompany low quality crab meat in a ball which is deep-fried and called crab cakes (this all served on top of mashed potatoes). hey chef.... 1970 called.. they want their menu back. yup, its that bad. instant grits in cake form and deep fried, are served underneath over-cooked, not de-pooped shrimp with horrible charred sausage and raw onions and peppers (they call this shrimp and grits)haha. the bartenders are complete a-holes and the managers are not that much better. the only thing that thestaffis good at there is kicking people out.. they love that. but as far as giving someone a good dining experience, they drop the ball every time. actually the fohstaffis good at one thing, and that is not sucking as bad as the boh staff.. so keep up the good work bob(general manager)..and chad(chef) you could at least wipe the rims of the dirty, ugly plates that your lazy, disgruntled kitchenstaffputs out. and as for bartenders, the guys are as disrespectful as they come and the girls look like trolls. so if youre reading this, and you have to go to sine, just get a couple drinks

i absolutely adore this pub. my husband is addicted to the shepard's pie and peach cobbler and i am partial to the meat and pasta (guinness roasted beef and potato gnocchi lovingly adorned with peas and onions) and the car bomb cake. we've eaten here more than a dozen times (we bring all out-of-town visitors here) and have always had an awesome meal. the service generally lacks personality, but thestaffcan always recommend a great beer so all is forgiven.

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 irish pub and 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 irish pub has 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 thestaffindifferent. i never doubted that the irish came to american to find a better life, but that they thought their idea of pub life would improve it was cleary wrong. try it and see.
