Jameson bar!
Emily M.

Super friendly bartending! Loved that the bartender answered any and all of our ireland related questions and didn't judge us for the silly ones. The manager was also very fun and friendly. We enjoyed the games and loved that there we so many choices. Disappointed that the bubble hockey was broken but the bar overall is a great adult late night entertainment concept. Will recommend to people looking to have some fun besides drinks and music in Dublin. Was also nice to have the bar upstairs with live music to use once this place closed for the night!

Date: Monday, June 22nd, 2026 Time: around 8:45pm…read moreParty of: 4 Meal: Dinner *Fish & Chips (21.90 €) *Promo Fillet Stone (38.90 €) *Chicken Liver Pate (10.90 €) *Bangers & Mash (16.90 €) *Soup of the Day (6.50 €) *Chicken Caesar Salad (15.90 €) *Pt Guinness *Pt Smithwicks (8.30 €) *Espresso Martini (14.90 €) It was time for dinner and we had no idea where to go. Figured pub food was a good choice so someone picked Trinity Bar. We walked in and were seated right away in a tucked away table. It is very dark in here, so if you are blind like me, reading the menu may be a challenge. Get ready to use your phone flashlight. I wanted the pate, so we got that. And I shared the fish and chips and bangers and mash with the hubs. The pate was okay. I was expecting it to be more spreadable. It kinda just crumbled and fell off the bread. But it came with a lil salad which I enjoyed. The two mains we got were fine. Tho I really liked the fries. They were crispy on the outside and soft inside. The steak promo I believe came with the guinness which is why there was no charge. It was a nice spread, tho I thought the steak was over for me. I'm a rare girl. I believe there was live music when we were here. And the vibe is very fun and energetic. Nice stop for some pub eats. REVIEW #4116

This is better than average bar food and drinks are what is expected in a bar. The famous 8oz…read morefillet Steak on the Stone is worth a try as a novelty. Better to order when full alert for the hot stone (there's also a Mon-Thu promo that includes a glass of red wine or beer pint). Get the Chicken Liver Pate if you really like strong pate. Lots of TVs for sports viewing. Live music at certain times. However, keep expectations low since it is still a pub. Low lighting in spots and nothing swanky about it. Lots of high top tables and seems spacious but felt cramped when seated. The pub is inside a hotel's lobby but is designed like a standalone venue if that makes sense. So, worth a visit on a bar crawl, better if in addition to an afternoon of whiskey distillery tastings.

I would have loved to give this place 5 stars, because you can depend on them to have any game on,…read moreand they have a great beer selection, but due to the arrogance of the bouncers I likely won't be back. I had a reservation for a game and was given a booth. My boyfriend arrived a few minutes, and he should have been able to get in with no problem since we had a reservation, but the bouncer refused to let a single person in due to full capacity. I had an empty seat open in front of me and already ordered our food for the game, so I told this to the bouncer. However, he avoided eye contact as he told me to find a manager. The manager, in fairness, was very nice and he told the bouncer to finally let my boyfriend in. This whole ordeal unfortunately took a half hour, and our food got cold.

Have been going to the Woolshed for about 7 years to watch NFL on Sundays and always loved this…read morespot. It was always fantastic until the change of ownership in 2025. Now the bar is understaffed, they don't have the same selection of drinks, and the food has become inedible. Tried two dishes and both arrived cold. The sauces are tasteless and you can tell they are trying to pinch every penny out of the place. The new owners have taken what was Dublin's best sports bar and turned it into a place to avoid. If you like hot wings and good service, sadly, you'll have to go somewhere else.

Great downstairs pub in Dublin. Super sports forward with great views of screens of all the…read moresporting events for the day. Beer was cold and Old Fashions were 2 for $15...what else could you want?

What a fun sports bar for a night out in Dublin…read more My girlfriend and I googled for a bar that may have the Eagles game on, and word was Sinnotts was one of the bars in the area that frequently puts Eagles games on or whatever the most asked for game is by most patrons at the time. My girlfriend and I were off both geared up in our Eagles jerseys and myself sporting an Eagles hat as well. We were determined to make our presence known and really hope they would put it on the big screen for us if we showed the proper amount of enthusiasm and zeal. Luckly, it worked and another couple came in right after us decked out in eagles gear as well, score, we now had a rooting section as soon as you entered the establishment. They had a great 2 for 1 margarita deal and they were quite good. The food was nothing to sneeze at either, the Irish Stew was probably my favorite of the whole trip, and my only gripe is I wish the portion size was a little larger. I tasted my gf's dish which was the braised beef, and it was a heaping portion size and good, not the best in all of our trip but still very good. This was one of our first few nights in Dublin before meeting up with our tour group for a drive over parts of Ireland and Northern Ireland and I am very glad we chose here as one of the bars. I would recommend if you are in the area and want to make a night out of it watching a sports game, grabbing some food, and if you're in the mood to indulge in a few cocktails, well you will definitely have a wide array of spirits and beer to choose from. As always people SYOY!!!

We were in Ireland first time for 11 days,…read more This place was recommended by a local tour guide. And let me tell you The Steak is the bomb Everything was so good including their own beer. And cap off that meal with some awesome Crème brûlée Thank You.

Such a change from the last experience a year ago…read more We had 8:30 PM reservations. Arrived around 8:10 and were told to wait at the bar. No problem, it's NYE, we can wait for out booked time. Less than 5 minutes later we were lead to a table, not even time to order a drink! We shared everything. Ordered cocktails to begin with. They were ok, two different old fashioned drinks. We tried to order bone marrow, scallops, tuna tataki and a Caesar salad as starters. They were already out of the bone marrow and scallops. It's a holiday, you know there are reservations... what?! Poor management and planning!! They recommended the lamb kidneys... never had them before, super gross. I'll never do that again. It smelled like urine! We ordered the burger and 14 oz sirloin to share, medium rare on the steak. Polenta fries, and mashed potatoes. The polenta fries were outstanding! The burger was delicious! Smokey flavor, it was great. It came with huge steak fries, I prefer shoestring. The steak was not tender. Had a better steak sandwich at the Morrison for lunch. All in all, I will not be going back nor recommending this place. The wine I ordered never arrived, our water was never refilled. In fact, after the food arrived, we never saw anyone again!! When the check came with an obligatory 12.5% tip I missed it and paid. Once I noticed, I flipped out!! This was the worst service ever!! I double check tipping culture in Ireland before I complain. 10% is good for good service and bad service is ok to leave zero tip. So I asked for it back. They gave me credit for the tip but not the tax on tip. Unimpressed. Won't go again.
