Sinistral Brewing Company — Restaurant in Manassas

6/11/25 Still the place to be for great music and local talent. Second Thursday is open mic, and the talent here tonight was over the top. Do yourself a favor and get out here! 11/21/24 Hop jam is an explosion of local talent coming together to make some of the most incredible music around. It's like catching a moment of pure beauty as it flows swiftly by. Never the same twice, but always memorable and precious.

Update 9/20/24 OctoberFEAST is here!!! I love a mild dark beer, this is a good one! Andrew ODay is playing, a beautiful night I love this bar!

Update 8/25 /23 If you appreciate live music you have to check out sinestral. Night after night, great tunes, great brews, and great people. This is a must try!

Sinestral is the center of old town night life. Great music, craft beer, exciting food trucks. Not to mention fun people and staff!

What? Was that Brett Michaels sitting in at Sinestral???? Wow, what a great treat. Rockin' with the Manassas boys! Pete Evick was excellent, loved this night.

This place is always fun, a great staff and owner. If you like beer, this is your spot. But even if you don't, the band and outdoor seating is usually the best in town. 9/9 Another excellent band at Sinestral! Something Shiny Duo. Great time...

This new venue is excellent. The beers are delicious (and can get you drunk if so desired), and they have a flight if you are unsure which type of beer you like. They mark what each beer is too, which makes it easier to remember.

The ambiance is maybe my favorite part. Inside is very colorful, neat and clean. Outside has fire pits and heaters to keep you warm in the winter. In the summer, it looks like they plan to roll up garage-door-style windows to be able to enjoy the fresh air and get some extra light for some good ole' day drinking. Inside, you can choose a room that's a bit quieter (near the front), or put yourself in the action at the bar or at a few group-style tables next to the bar. Good place to hang out with friends or meet new people. Can't wait...

Sinistral is a great addition to Historic Downtown Manassas. I read another reviewer's comment about not being ADA compliant. On my preopening building tour I saw the restroom in the Tap Room area and the detached Lounge building were ADA compliant. You even mentioned how the front end of the Tap Room bar was lower to accommodate 2 or 3 wheel chairs. I know ADA was in your thoughts. I know you are under the review of the city's Architectural Review Board being in an historic building and you were not allowed to make major changes to the face of the building visible from the street. I have seen 2 people in wheelchairs enjoying time there. (Note: the 104 year old Train Depot nearby is not fully ADA...
