An Sibin

Located in Inman Square, An Sibin (pronounced she-been) is a whiskey-forward bar that blends the spirit of the traditional Irish pub with the intrigue of an American speakeasy. Opened in September 2022, it has quickly become a welcoming neighborhood gathering place where guests can enjoy great drinks, good food, and relaxed company.

The name Síbín comes from an Irish word describing an unlicensed drinking house where whiskey was once sold in secret. Dating back to late-18th-century Ireland, these informal pubs were known as places where people gathered for conversation, music, and a good dram. An Sibin draws inspiration from that history while bringing a modern twist to the experience.

The bar boasts one of the largest whiskey selections in Cambridge, along with a craft cocktail menu that celebrates classic recipes and modern interpretations. The beer list is simple and thoughtfully chosen, with several local brews on draft and perfectly poured pints of Guinness. The food menu reflects the comforting feel of an Irish pub while adding a few creative touches. Guests can enjoy traditional favorites such as fish and chips or bangers and mash alongside dishes like oxtail soup and fresh oysters. The space itself is intimate and relaxed, with cozy seating, a small bar, and a fireplace that makes it an easy place to settle in for the evening.

Whether you are stopping in for a quiet whiskey, meeting friends for cocktails, or simply looking for a comfortable neighborhood pub, An Sibin offers a warm and welcoming spot in the heart of Cambridge.
