What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight Sinnotts’ consistently good food, especially the Irish classics and Sunday roasts. Visitors love the central location and the fact that it’s easy to get a table even on busy nights. Many point out the friendly staff and quick service, perfect for those on a tight pre-show schedule. The large-screen TVs and sports-friendly crowd also make it a hit on game days.

Areas for Improvement

Because of its popularity, Sinnotts can get crowded during peak hours, especially on weekends or before big events. Some guests mention that it can feel a bit like a sports bar when matches are on, which may not suit those looking for a quieter dining experience. That said, the energy adds to the pre-concert buzz for many visitors.
