    Hi,
    I was planning on having a night in Sin e this weekend but I'm not sure if it's still open. I know it reopened last year but can anyone tell me if it's still going strong?
    I've tried googling it but not joy...
    Thanks!

    I've been told that Cassidys on Westmoreland Street is the new Sin E, I've never been there though.

    Yep, as I said in the other recent thread, Sin é has been closed for over a month now. The shutters are down every time I pass by. They had only recently painted the outside about a week or two before it closed so it must've been a sudden closure. Has anybody messaged their Facebook page for feedback from management, etc.?

    It was something to do with the landlord, that whole block is to be turned into a hotel, so I heard that they put the rent up to get them out of there.

    Big banner across the front of Sin é now stating that the pub is reopening on the 20th Sep under new management.

    Is this going to be a yearly thing now?

    The annual grand re-opening of Sin E.

    That's brilliant news!

    is it still going to be Sin e and run by the previous staff or is it just that another group have come in and take over the premises?

    Under new management, that's all I know - will go in for a nose on Friday and report back.

    Did this actually reopen last night?

    I was going to head over but the sign wasn't lit so we didn't make the trip down to it.

    I'm in here atm and it hasn't changed apart from the selection of beers on tap. Gone are the craft brews and back are Guinness, Heineken, etc. The music seems to be more or less the same as before too.

    Yes, it's open and full of people. The biggest change is that colour of front wall is white, not black as it was in the past.

    The neon sign is gone from outside?

    That's a shame.

    Actually I was wrong. The neon sign is still there, it was just covered by the reopening banner that they put up.

    Aye, was hoping that the new management would keep at least some of the craft brews on draught.

    Guess the craft beers are too pricey for the cheapskate hipsters to afford :D

    The craft brews seemed to go down well enough in the past to be fair.

    Yeah, I know, I was jokin' :) I have no idea how much a craft beer in Dublin costs; I left the country almost 4 years ago. How much are they?

    Not too bad, I guess. Pint of Bulmers at some places costs over that

    I called in last weekend and it was packed, got talking to the manager and it's the same owners as The Botanic House and what was Karma up by Christ Church so I'd say it'll be around for good. They posted pictures of some of their beers on Facebook yesterday.

    Looks good.

    And the place is open until 3AM Fridays and sat so its a full on venue. had a feeling it would just open normal pub hours but could to know you can end up there for the night.

    With Bigs bar, the Dice bar and the Voodoo lounge just along the river in Smithfield, that area is looking really good for late nights and bands.

    Did anything ever happen with Fibbers rock bar? I know there was talk of someone opening it...

    It was open for a little while in spring, but don't think it is at the moment. Sure Voodoo only opens at the weekend now, just not the business for it.

    Nah, Fibbers is long gone. Venue's on the Quays area, from Ormond quay to Heuston Station just don't get the footfall and people won't walk to said venues as it is "too far away". Can't believe how many times I heard that old chestnut about Fibbers. FFS, it's a 5 minute walk from Temple Bar. In most decent sized European cities, people have to get a Metro from venue to venue but in Dublin a 5 minute walk from the city's main thoroughfare is "too out of the way". :mad:

    They have had some decent cover bands in there the past few Saturday nights too. And it's nice to see them getting in some decent craft brews again. Might give the Franciscan Well Rebel Red a go next time I'm in.
