About

Tucked into Old Town Manassas near the train tracks, this taproom turns heads with an unusually food-forward menu: think butter chicken pizza alongside Margherita, served from an on-site pizza truck that regulars swear is among the best in NoVA. The beer list ranges from a salty, lime-forward fish taco lager to a Buffalo Thief Brown Ale and a Camryn's Poker-faced Porter, with samples offered before committing to a pour. Second Thursday open mics and the annual Hop Jam session draw serious local musical talent, and a heated outdoor tent keeps the live music going through winter.

Accidentally "rope dropped " Sinistral this afternoon. Beer was phenomenal and pizza was probably the best we've had in NoVA. Ordered 4 pizzas (Margherita x2, Pepperoni, and Butter Chicken [yes, Butter Chicken! ]) for 5 people, and while it was too much pizza (according to societal norms) we couldn't stop eating it. Nice rainy day activity

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 was had by all.
