Two friends and I stopped in for some early St. Patrick's Day beverages and snacks. We sat at the bar and were helped by a very friendly bartender. She let me try a beer to help me decide what to get. We shared two appetizers, beer cheese and pretzels, which we all really liked, and salt and vinegar chips, which didn't have much flavor, didn't come with anything to dip the chips in, and was pricy at $9. We dipped the chips in the extra beer cheese, but lost interest once the cheese ran out. It's a good place to grab an Irish beer in Shockoe Bottom. read more

I came in at 1pm on a Saturday. They weren't busy and the staff was welcoming and friendly. My waiter, Matthew, was very kind and took great care of me without hovering. The Pot Pie was the special and delicious. The drink was warm yet wintery. Overall a good choice. read more

Service was great, but real Irish fare?Hmmm. Not a boxty, or soda bread or Irish stew in sight. The restaurant screams Ireland in every corner of the buildings decor from the walls to the rafters, you imagine your in Ireland and then you see the menu and taste the food and your catapulted back to trad American chain restaurants. Not a fan of this one. Several of us left half our plates. If you are going for the ambiance and a drink, excellent. If you're going for Irish food, this is a skip. read more

Gold star of my foodie checklist. Irish egg rolls wow what creative twist with tradition. I had bangers and mash and felt like I was at family table. Loved the decor of the restaurant and the case with traditional items downstairs. I love the cultural experience that this restaurant brings to RVA. read more

The food was ok.. We tried something new each day we came back. The Blackened shrimp taco was probably the most memorable thing I tried. We kept coming back for the bartenders though. Drew is awesome! We had Jordan Sunday afternoon and she was great as well :) We also went Saturday night for some dancing, but the DJ had no taste for music so we left and went somewhere else. read more

Sine Irish Pub & Restaurant - Corned Beef and Cabbage Crab and Shrimp Dip - Irish Pub Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

1/2 off apps, $5 Irish nachos, and cheap beer? Mondays are OUTSTANDING here. Now granted - the food isn't anything too special - just some standard bar eats with a bit of an Irish spin - but as a broke new professional school graduate... I was willing to look past that. An approachable spot with TONS of indoor seating and a cool divey vibe that I'm sure is quite different during the school year when it becomes a VCU bar, but to be honest, during normal business hours it fit the bill of exactly what I wanted and was looking for. read more

When I was working this place had such great food, I would visit repeatedly. Still do. It doesn't matter how good an American chef is, we all need variation for lunch and Irish food hits the spot. It's not common like Thai or sushi but it's so good if authentic. The best corned beef and cabbage and potatoes with an Irish beer just hits the spot. Their Shepards Pie comes out hotter than eating in a South American restaurant with a salt block at the table. Just wonderful. I don't do evenings there. Understand it to be a 20-something pick up spot, but lunch at Sine's is a definite, Yes. And perhaps dinner is equally great because those kids go out when I'm going to bed. I don't know the rest of the menu because I'm stuck on those two things but those two things are so good, the remainder of the menu must be equally appeasing. read more

Best Irish nachos! Great service from Jolie! Perfect day to sit outside, it's a super chill vibe.

This was my go to spot while in Richmond. After a long day of site seeing..it was a good reprieve to get a drink and a hot cup of soup. I hear it gets crazy on the weekends..I don't do crazy but during g the week it was quite fun. Super friendly staff! Nice wines on tap too read more

I am always happy when I walk into an Irish pub and they have a beer other than Guinness on tap. Loved the food I got and the overall ambiance of the outside and inside. Fyi, there isn't a parking lot, so be mindful. read more

Checked this out at lunch on a Saturday. Got seated quickly. Mimosas were $1! Classic breakfast was fine. It was two eggs cooked to one's liking plus bacon or sausage, breakfast potatoes and toast. Sausage chicken pasta tasted a little off. It had a taste of old oil that had been reused multiple times. Atmosphere was very casual. Service was not bad. read more

As a frequent visitor to this area this was my first time in Sine. Really cool vibe and atmosphere. Came for lunch on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy. Sat at the bar and the bartender was nice. Nice menu selection and beer options, including local. I wish I picked something other than the burger and fries because there are many options that fit the ovation better. The fries had great flavor and the burger was just ok. More bun than meat in most bites. I will return and try their more traditional dishes. read more

Had high hopes walking in. Waiters didnt seem to know what was going on. Twice I, a customer, had to inform them of whom ordered what when they were bringing food out to the bar. Portions are small. The shepard's pie was good but I was left still hungry, which is far from ideal. And it took way too long to get my card back when I was trying to check out. read more

Wow, what a beautiful bar!!! My family and I sat at the bar and had a few beers and delicious appetizers of fried pickle spears (huge) and Irish inspired egg rolls (pastrami/potatoes). Great prices especially during Happy Hour. Will come again! read more

I really enjoyed visiting Sine's Irish Pub. They have a large dinner/lunch menu as well as a brunch menu available for Saturday & Sunday mornings. All of the food ordered looked delicious. I opted for the Roasted Vegetable Salad and throughly enjoyed it. My friends order the crab cake sandwich, Reuben, chicken tenders, and nacho's appetizer. All of which tasted great! Additionally, the waitresses are very attentive and helpful. There is so many spots inside to sit and there's even a downstairs. If the weather is nice, there is a beautiful outdoor patio on the cobblestone. Some is also a bar that is very popular on weekend evenings. There are other bars nearby so it's easy to spend a night going from one to the other. The restaurant is located in the heart of Shockoe, very close to downtown. This makes parking a like more difficult but there are street parking and a public pay-to-park spot nearby. read more

Good service. Drinks as expected, food-meh. Bangers and mash, pretty simple dish. Sausage, mashed potatoes and brown onion gravy. Sausage dense and over done. Gravy was thin and little taste. read more

Went here for happy hour on a Wednesday, wasn't too busy and service was pretty fast. It's a good volume inside and the seating is pretty spacious. We got crab and shrimp dip which was really creamy and irish nachos which were pretty good too. It's just similar to a loaded potato! We got Lemon drops and vodka cran as well as our bill was just shy of 30 so great value. (during happy hour!) read more

My hubs and I are on the fence about this place. Cool atmosphere and friendly, efficient service. Used to be a tobacco factory. The food and drinks, however, had a lot to be desired. I ordered the pot roast and it was delicious. But the veggies were way too undercooked. On the other hand, at least they were fresh carrots. My hubs ordered the corn beef and cabbage. Cabbage was also undercooked so much so he couldn't enjoy it. I tried the corn beef and thought it was tasty but Hubs thought what he cooks at home is much better. Drinks were WAY expensive. I order a double Jameson everywhere I go and it can be pricey. This place tops every other place in price. $22. Where I live, the most I've paid is $18. Hubs ordered Red Breast Irish whiskey and what they gave him was NOT Red Breast. The server told us they were running low and we think they added Scotch to make the drink because that's what it smelled and tasted like. A single was $16. Our check total was over $120. We did have an appetizer, two entrees, his drink, and my two drinks. We thought it was over the top and we pay $100 checks on the regular because we order alcohol. But we don't think this place was worth that kind of money. They do have a cute outdoor area that allows pets so that's cool. read more

Can never go wrong with ordering the Shepherds pie. It's definitely my fave to order during the winter months if I want something warm and filling, but I'm not quite in the mood for soup. Service was great as always. Aiden was very nice. A good time to come for a nice quiet lunch is on weekdays after 1:30pm after the lunch rush. read more

Such a lovely place, Shout out to Maddie our server, she was the sweetest and kindest human everrrr! So attentive with a smile. Thank you Maddie. The salt and vinegar chips, the pimento cheese dip, and the mushroom burger, and fries. All were amazing. Everything was fresh and hot. The burger was sooooo good. I did drink too much beer and got bloated but that's my fault. The place is pretty clean( bathrooms are 3 out of 5) that's the one thing they should make a bit better. But decoration is awesome and fun, and Irish-ie. Def ll be back read more

This was one of the larger restaurants in downtown RVA. I was also one that was open later at night which we took advantage of. There's a lot of seating inside and out, and can probably handle many patrons and was well laid out. The food was the problem. I ordered fish tacos as something were sold out and it was a big miss. A fish stick wrapped in a tortilla with almost no toppings. The draft and bottle offerings were good with the staple Irish beers you'd expect. We planned our evening meals much better during the rest of our RVA stay, and the remaining road trip to SE VA. read more

An absolutely horrible experience. We were treated like trash, trying to get in to the restaurant. We didn't go there for drinks, we went there for food. They wouldn't let us in without my physical ID so I had to go back to the hotel to get it. I'm 62 years old and don't pass for a 21 year-old. The service was awful. We ordered food and it was clear that the staff was angry or upset about something. This is the first time in my yelp experience that I've ever given any restaurant or establishment a one star. Do not go here. Go down the street to the Half Shell or to Tequila and Tacos. It's worth the walk! read more

We went here for lunch, and it was fine. All the surfaces are hard, so any noise reverberates, making it very loud and hard to hear your own table. Be aware that this restaurant is not accessible for anyone who has trouble with stairs. Bathrooms are in the basement, and there's no elevator. Service was friendly enough, but not especially fast. Refills weren't offered. The place the restaurant fails is the food. Fish and chips look good, but the fish is flavorless, and the French fries are basic frozen, coated fries, not hand cut. Bangers and mash should be called 1 and a half sausages (really, the sausages were sliced in half lengthwise, and were still cold in the middle) with a gloppy onion gravy, over runny mashed potatoes. And for some reason they come with a bowl of obviously canned baked beans with a sprinkle of dried parsley. Why? In what world are baked beans a side dish for bangers and mash? It's as if someone read about pub food, but never tried it. Not worth the visit. read more

I'll start by saying I had my dogs so I only saw the porch, but I can see a stand-alone bar w taps (unmanned) so when busy, I'm sure I'd still get the same stellar service. Great vibe downtown, and btw, I totally did not expect to find a patio downtown that's dog friendly. Way to a neighborhood atmosphere! I ordered a Guiness w/o looking at the menu, and then read over things. I was perturbed by how many non-Irish beers existed and the same goes for food. But I persevered and ordered the corned beef. Whoa! Totally non-traditional (didn't know you could twist a dish this simple) and it's now my favorite preparation of all-time, and I've been to Ireland. It's served in a bowl of sorts in liquid--much like eating mussels at an Italian place, the broth is incredibly savory and after 1 bite I couldn't stop...only wondering where the garlic toast was to dip into this broth--heck, I spooned it all in leaving nary a drop. Cabbage and red potatoes were perfect, and there was mustard on top of the dish, even if I ate most before taking a pic. Water bowls provided for the pups...I closed out, but now I want a 2nd meal to see how the fish n chips are, or the Shephards pie or bangers n mash. 5 stars doesn't cover the food, service, etc. I'm all-in and what a great 1st for me in RVA as I just moved here from Austin, TX. Thank you Sine! read more

Our waiter was soooo sweet! I wish i remembered his name... But he was new to VA from Vegas. We were just having a day out so so stopped to get something quick... The food seemed fresh... it just wasn't my style I guess. Although, I've been to several other Irish pubs and they have been delicious. We got the Irish egg rolls and the crab and shrimp dip... ehhh... everything had a strong pickle taste to it. I'm not sure why... but crab dip that tasted like pickles was not for me. The building is beautiful. Being in an historic area, a lot of the original details were still intact and I loved it. The bathrooms are downstairs so it's kind of bad for any type of handicapped person. Will be be back? Probably not. read more

This is an awesome place for a get together/party with friends and family. The atmosphere, vibes, drinks, TVs, etc.. hit all the points, just don't order any appetizers/food. If your sober and plan to stay that way you'll know what I mean but if your on a mission with your liver to find Goldschlager at the end of the rainbow then the luck of the Irish is with you laddie! The only lucky charm to look for are the Fish & Chips, they're magically delicious! read more

Ordered pretzels with beer cheese. It was filling but pretzels could have been softer on the inside and the beer cheese had a reheated taste. Also got a strawberry daiquiri which seemed to have very little alcohol in it. The service was great as our waiter was attentive, helpful, and efficient. Worth another shot based on that alone. read more

Great service...$8.50 for a watery Guinness served in the wrong glass? What're we doing?

Manager and staff very rude!! Food terrible. Who puts cheese itz on a Mac and cheese?

I don't know why this place only has 3 stars? I'm only giving it 4 due to the food quality. The two items I had were obviously frozen (chicken tenders and a sandwich) and not of the highest quality ingredients but the drinks were strong and the service was great. The hostess who greeted me was friendly (I hate eating alone but she put me in a lovely corner booth) and my server, Quay (sp?), was soooo sweet. I had a few difficult requests and he was cheerful and kind. I will definitely be back as I am in the Richmond area for a few weeks. I would love to give them another shot as I try more items. read more

Sine is a typical Irish Pub/Restaurant with bar seating as well as tables. It's not overly crowded so you can enjoy your time there comfortably. What makes it stand out, is the service. I brought a group of 30 for a retirement gathering. When I called a couple of weeks in advance to make arrangements, I was told I could of course order off their catering menu, but Happy Hour would be occurring during the timeframe we would be there. And during Happy Hour, all appetizers are half price. So we did Happy Hour. We were shown to the smaller seating area upstairs behind the bar and it was perfect. It gave our group privacy without shoving us in a "room in the back". It was a tad warm when we arrived, but they quickly adjusted the temperature to a comfortable level. We were assigned two dedicated servers to take care of us and they did a fabulous job. There was nothing we asked that wasn't accommodated. Both young ladies were friendly, offered suggestions for drinks and appetizers, and served us promptly. I ordered several servings of their Irish Nachos, Crab & Shrimp Dip, French Fries, Fried Pickles, and Irish Spring Rolls. Everything came out together without much wait and was all very tasty. The drinks were great too - I wanted a drink that's normally made with vodka, but at my request, they were able to make it with Rum. Overall a wonderful experience. We'll be back! read more

I've been to The Sine a few times and what keeps me coming back is the cozy ness and warmth of the bar. The bar has tons of little nooks and intricate wood that are the perfect place to gather with friends while enjoying a few rounds of your favorite beer. While I'm so happy to see the Sine operating during the pandemic a few things have changed. The beer prices seem to have gone up. They have also changed the cocktail menu to incorporate a few summery drinks. I took a chance and ordered a Rose' Froze. The drink has strawberry and watermelon purée with Rose'. Sounds amazing right? It didn't taste like much, the watermelon flavor was pretty dominate and watered the drink down. We also snacked on homemade salt and vinegar chips. The chips were cooked well and salted just right I would've loved to taste more vinegar in the chips. The staff is doing a really good job making health and safety a top priority. Throughout my visit I saw staff members sanitizing handrails and door knobs! They also perfectly spaced out the tables and revamped there patio area to allow for more seating under a covered tent! I look forward to visiting the Sine again post COVID to see if things are as great as they once were. For now things are just A-Ok! read more

After a day of touring we were ready for grub. Irish fare sounded great. They have a good amount of interior seating and outdoor as well. This pub was highly recommended by the trolley people we had toured with earlier and it's just down the road. You can have a full time of adventure touring around Richmond, seeing the sights and then topping off with a fine meal at this Irish pub. I had the bangers and mash because... Well my English blood just demands that I try bangers and mash all over the countryside I guess. They were really, really good. Well seasoned, nice large helpings. This pub has a very fine array of beer, ales, stout, an IPA. The service was spot on, even though they were training someone they really were very attentive. There is a large amount of indoor dining which is really warm with heavy timbers pure English pub - Irish pub style. But we sat on the patio and could look out towards the James river. Just fine for a summers evening. Lovely; excellent. read more

My husband and I were drawn to this pub because it had a large patio with outdoor dining. Our server was 5 star--attentive and friendly. Sadly, out fish and chips were very disappointing--and this menu item is one of their specialties. The batter on the fish was heavy and oily. It also tasted like the oil in the fryer was old and past due for a change. We really liked the patio; but if we do choose to return, it will be strictly for drinks. We will go elsewhere for dinner. read more
