Yes, I think they mean the Sunday night going into the Monday morning.

Will have to pop down for a few this week.

Ah, that's too bad I like that place

Greedy bastard landlords. Now watch the place sit idle and empty.

Fajitas!

Another loss.

Sin É is/was a great spot, it was my favorite while I was in college.

I can't believe landlords are still refusing to reduce rent.

Twee.

Such a shame. Any time I've been in there it's been packed.

Thats very bad news. I would have thought that Sin E was a pretty busy pub. Anytime I walked by it there was always loads of people outside.

What the hell is wrong with these landlords? Its not as if there is a q of potential tenants lined up.

Another quality boozer gone. Good staff, good atmosphere, good drink. Damn I'll miss that place.
Many a good time had there.

Despite it being a bit out of the way, it was always worth going to, a decent pub that played good music, and served decent beer. The landlords could do with a pint of cold reality themselves, if the people who ran Sin E couldn't make it viable as a business because of the rents, then I doubt that any other potential owner/manager will either.

Pity it was such a great pub!

WindSock

One of the good ones. Decent music, beer and atmosphere there. Can't think there will be much better to fill its place, sure that part of the Quays is fairly dead as it is.

This is sad news, won't make it home before it's gone. Love that bar

RIP Sin E

Well that's just a loada me bo11ox!!!!! I hope the landlord ends up with an empty shell and then squatters... that'd serve the pr1ck right!

One of the best pubs in Dublin, if not thee best. Terrible shame, but I'm sure they'll be back.

fingers crossed the landlord has a change of heart by 2016 when 14th Feb falls on a Sunday

On a serious note, sad to see the place shut. Only been there a few times, but each time was a good time.

I won't be going into any detail here but while the sign might blame the landlord, the reality is completely different. The creditors' meeting is next week so watch this space...

From thejournal.ie


...Sin E – has called a creditors’ meeting for next Tuesday, 15 February.

According to the Insolvency Journal, the company last filed accounts at the end of October 2009. A company is obliged to call a creditors’ meeting when it wants to go into liquidation.

Sh*t.

I loved that pub.

Raekwon

What a pity, I'm actually a semi-regular in Sin É so this is very sad news

Btw will this effect Dice Bar at all as they have the same owners?

Faith+1

Another business bites the dust. How exactly does the landlord expect to rent the premises again if S/HE refuses to lower the rates???

The city centre might as well shut up shop if this madness continues.

Waterstones, Gruel, Sin é, HMV (Soon), Zavvi, Thomas Cook, RTV Rentals, Movie Magic, West's Jewellers, Chartbusters etc.. Just a small few business that have gone recently. What's next?

Larianne

Impromptu Dublin City beers this Thursday in Sin é! :pac:

JupiterKid

The sheer wanton greed of landlords is destroying the city and its businesses.

If this keeps up, the only businesses left that will be able to afford to keep paying the bubble era rents will be the multinational chain stores...and some of these may well pull out too.

Very sad...:(

George83

Such a shame. Won't have chance to get back to Dublin before it shuts either.

stovelid

While I detest greedy landlords as much as anybody and also like Sin E, there is no actual evidence of rack-renting here. Maybe Sin E financial problems made them seek a reduction on an otherwise normal rent and this is brinkmanship?

I live in fear of The Dice Bar suffering a similar fate.
