    Thumbs down Sinclairs Bar

    My recommendation is to give it a miss!

    We had a meal there tonight, when we arrived the bar was full of dirty glasses and ashtrays, I ordered wine there was none left so I chose another but they could not find the corkscrew.

    We ordered food but was then told it was not available so had to order something else.

    At this point we wanted to leave but had already paid for our meal.

    The toilets were filthy, no toilet seats, no toilet paper, no hand soap in the dispensers just a big refill bottle had been left on the sink for you to help yourself, no paper towels and the hand-dryer had been ripped off the wall and was dangling by it's electrical cable.

    That will be our last visit there for quite a while I should imagine

    That sounds appalling. Environmental health should be called.

    A clean bill of health, has it changed hands recently?

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    Yes, that's the place, we've eaten there before and it was very good then but that was about five months ago.

    Nah i wouldnt say that Sinclairs is the Roughest bar in the town, theres one along the high street thats alot worse than there. I will agree though that the place is going down hill, i mean what does it take to have some organisation in the place...?

    I hope you had the decency to let the staff at this pub know about your issues and not just walk away and start badmouthing the place on these boards.

    I canna be bothered with people who say nothing then whine later on.

    What complete and utter garbage, Sinclairs is one of the better bars in town and there has not been any serious trouble in there for months, i cant remember the last time there was a proper fight in the place.

    The bar had been busy and the ONE member of staff hadnt had time to clear everything away from the tables, the corkscrew going missing was just unfortunate

    Certain popular foods eventually run out at busy times, that just cant be helped, Sinclairs is certainly not the first bar to run out of something at this time of year

    You could have quite easily had a refund and left if you were that unhappy

    The toilets had been cleaned as usual, if they were dirty it was only through usage during the day....and the male member of staff that was working is hardly going to notice if it needs cleaned, there is a toilet seat....someone once again had broken it, as for the hand dryer......it has been ripped off the wall around 4 or 5 times now, it amazes me the total dissrespect that girls have for the toilets in the bar they are drinking in.

    As for the lack of toilet paper or hand towels....well that is inexcusable and does not usually happen, just an oversight which would have been rectified as soon as staff were made aware of the problem

    I've used the Caithness web site in an appropriate manner and all I get is folk whingeing about my comments, what is the point having freedom of speech on a local forum if every time I voice my opinion I am shot down in flames!

    I for one appreciated your comments Julia. Too many people get shot down for just giving an honest opinion. As you say what is the point in a forum if you can't give your honest opinion. Maybe someone from Sinclairs will hear about this and buck up their ideas. If so you have probably done them a favour!!

    get a grip you lot, i was only saying that i hoped you had told them, and i was not shooting any comments down in flames, i was merely expressing my opinion as you said you do often - whats wrong with that?

    it is good that these boards are used to express opinions (thats only my opinion though)
