The Sin Bin is a sports bar on 2nd Ave, just east of the Cambie Street Bridge.
OK...so it's a sports bar in a fairly remote (but probably not for long) part of town. I wasn't going in with high expectations, especially as a vegetarian....but their veggie burger is probably the best one I've ever had. It isn't a fancy place, so if that's your thing I don't recommend it, but the service was good and the veggie burger was amazing. Despite some of the reviews, go and check out the veggie burger and see if you disagree.
Yearning for the days that you could eat and drink at a pub with a side of sexy waitress or pretty women. What happened? The proprietor (and/or some of his friends) stand on the sidewalk right outside the open doorway and smoke in between orders. Ooops, is that the ready bell? The server is not exactly attractive and very few women in there. I guess it's the fight on tv.
I just moved into the Millenium Village and was excited to see a pub just a few blocks from my place. Coming from England there is usually one on every corner, but atleast there is one near by.
I went in for some dinner and some beers. There was live music on and the place was packed and had a great atmosphere. My dinner was excellent and they had a good selection of local beers on tap. The only downfall was there was no guiness or any darker beer on tap.
Will definitely be back.
Me and three friends needed a place to watch UFC 114 so we decided to try out the Sin Bin. The food was below average. The yam fries were not crispy and the cheese on the nachos was poor quality. The service was great. Our waitress checked in on us frequently and changed our plates twice. The value just wasn't there ($5 cover charge doesn't help). We were shocked when our order of dry ribs consisted of 8 small meatless pieces. Their whole menu had inflated prices for your standard pub food. The place felt like a overcrowded barn with flimsy tables.
I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are better sports bars than this.
I was pleasantly surprised when I first sat down at Sin Bin, expecting it to be a dive since so many failed restaurants open and closed at this address. The atmosphere is inviting and very well kept. The staff were very attentive and willing to serve their patrons. My party was there for the UFC fight and the final for the canucks.
I ordered some Nachos and Yam fries which tasted fresh, but the boring yam fries dip and cheap tasting cheese on the Nachos turned me off. The Nachos were 14 bucks, and add a small gaucomole dip (no taste) for another 2 dollars, making the nachos $16 dollars with no beef!
What was really strange is the $5 cover charge that they told me about AFTER I sat down. yeah sure there was a sign board outside... two of them, one telling you about the dinner specials, and the other showing a $5 cover. So depending on which way you walk in, you will miss the "notice". I would have ordered more drinks and food if they didn't charge me a cover - Who still charges cover for pay-per-view these days? That's if you don't customers to come back. Which they successfully did, and I know none of my friends will return there for any games.
It's not the $5, it's the principle that management holds on it's patrons - Customers are cheap, so we must charge them upfront in case they don't buy anything.... sometimes you gotta lose money to make money Sin Bin. No more party gathering at your place...
I've given the Sin Bin a few tries. Every time I'm left for 20-30 min with out even being able to get a drink much less order food (and that includes times I've left my table to stand at the bar to try to order there directly). Something for such a small pub is absurd. The food seems pretty bog standard for pub fare. With better service, and slightly lower prices they would get a higher review from me.
Went and checked out this new sports bar for The Canucks game the other night. It is still fairly new, so wasn't overly busy, but had an awesome atmosphere and great food. It's right by the Olympic Village, so this place is going to be huge in a few months.
Try The Aussie Burger. Can't go wrong with a fried egg on a Burger.
