Chinnys Sports Bar in Waveney

Great club, great breakfast, great everything really.

Sports, sports everywhere. Great pint, good atmosphere. My new local.

Excellent selection of beers and food.

Great food in a comfortable, friendly environment

Awesome place, only place which was showing the live football, drinks were cheap and staff were welcoming and very friendly. Should definitely visit if that way..

Popped I for a late afternoon beer or two, great service.

Nice chilled place and very good prices

Always helpful, willing to go above and beyond to help, food is always good too

We called into Chinney's for lunch whilst travelling through Halesworth, we found happy welcoming staff with the added bonus of being able to sit at the outside tables with our dog. The lady behind the bar immediately brought a bowl of water for our pooch. Really enjoyed the all day breakfast and felt the menu was very reasonably priced. Will definitely go again.

Great bar, loads of space and plenty of tables inside with an outside beer garden also. Pool tables, darts and live sports on screens. Very friendly staff and great welcoming service. Great choice of food and specials. Loved the burger options👍 function room to hire also for kids parties ect ect.

Chinny's Sports Bar in the charming town of Halesworth is an unassuming gem that beckons you with the promise of good company, hearty libations, and a culinary delight that can only be described as divine: the infamous onion bap. As you step into the dimly lit haven of camaraderie, you're immediately greeted by the raucous symphony of sports fans passionately cheering for their teams, their voices harmonizing with the clinking of glasses and the occasional burst of laughter. It's a scene that transports you, and you can't help but surrender to the embrace of the lively ambiance. But let's not be coy here; it's the onion bap that steals the spotlight and etches itself into your memory. A seemingly simple creation, this masterpiece is an artful marriage of flavors and textures that only a seasoned kitchen virtuoso could orchestrate. A toasted bap, golden and inviting, cradles a mound of caramelized onions, their sweet and savory dance a testament to the patient skill of the kitchen staff. One bite, and you're ensnared in a web of culinary enchantment. The bap yields with a satisfying crunch, giving way to the luscious embrace of the onions that melt in your mouth like a whisper of indulgence. It's a dance of contrasts – the delicate fluffiness of the bap against the intense richness of the onions – a tango of taste that electrifies your senses and leaves you yearning for more. And let's not forget the accoutrements, for Chinny's pays attention to even the finest details. A drizzle of tangy aioli adds a zesty counterpoint, a splash of brightness that elevates the ensemble to celestial heights. A bed of crisp lettuce provides a refreshing crunch, a verdant reminder of the world beyond the bap's embrace. As you savor each bite, you can't help but imagine the culinary prowess that brings this symphony of flavors to life. Behind the scenes, a dedicated crew orchestrates this culinary ballet, infusing every onion strand with the essence of dedication and passion. Chinny's Sports Bar isn't just a place to catch a game; it's a culinary pilgrimage, a journey of taste and camaraderie that imprints itself on your soul. The onion bap, a humble yet transcendent creation, stands as a testament to the magic that happens when food is crafted with love, skill, and a dash of pure, unadulterated audacity. So, my friends, if you find yourself in Halesworth, don't just go to Chinny's; embark on an onion bap odyssey that will forever redefine your notion of sporting bar cuisine.

Awesome place to go to loads and loads of space Great for a social meetup or a local as they're separate rooms for separate areas darts pool sports parking large meals snacks or just chill and drinks they've got it all definitely recommend

Sports,beer,food & beer garden, lovely breakfast, not tried other things on menu but will do at some point, friendly staff & always smiling, plenty indoors seating aswell as outside, free parking and plenty of it, if you in the area go have a look for yourself. 🍻👌🏻

Great place for a few drinks - Love all the options for Pool and snooker aswell

Great sport coverage,food and beer 😋

Great food, great music , would recommend it

Had yet another lovely meal here. Good value for money.

Looking to find a pub showing 6 nations rugby we were pointed to Chinnys. Great find, good atmosphere, reasonably priced drinks, great staff. So impressed we had dinner here, very good food as well ! A lucky find. Sadly England lost to Scotland, oh well.

Friendly staff. Good food and Sport TV. Pool etc. Worth a visit. 👍👍👍

Excellent atmosphere and staff. Great place for Christmas meal and drinks 🍸

Loving Chinnys. The beers great! The atmosphere is great! What more could anyone want?!?

Great place for breakfast or a bite to eat (good burgers too). Friendly bar and obviously buzzing on the big sports events. Free parking and a range of facilities makes this all you could want from a local sports bar.

Good place to play pool and a good place for a date. Only problem is the parking system and it's easy to get caught out. You need to enter your reg on a machine and it isn't easy to see

After a leisurely 9 holes around the local golf course we sought a spot of lunch and lite bite in a nearby establishment…. Preferably somewhere we could also watch the day’s football fixtures: We entered Chinnies with some trepidation, passing a crowd of vape puffing locals seemingly unused to seeing strangers. But we needn’t have been worried, We we’re greeted by a gabble of friendly pint pouring bar maidens and a hearty menu of traditional meals and light snacks. After a round of beers, my companions and I tucked into a delightful meal of jacket potato’s and hotdogs and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon in a friendly and low key atmosphere in front of the telly. By the time we left, as we’re thoroughly ingratiated to both the Staff and Chinnies other patrons and, had we not had evening. Plans at the mucky duck that evening, would surely have stayed for the delights of tha evenings Haloween party.

Service and drinks where good and cheap had a good time playing pool with my mates

I had lunch here on 26th August and received a £100 parking fine for my trouble. They were very helpful to provide me with lunch as I entered the building at about 13.57 had my quick lunch and left at 14.08 !!!! The length of time is irrelevant, I was your customer, I paid you for a beer(1) and I paid for lunch and you reward me with a fine. Disgusting.

My daughter dropped off our son to play pool at Chinny’s a few weeks ago with his friends and pulled into the car park. They waited a few minutes for his friends to arrive. She then left. We have just received a parking demand for a £100. She didn’t leave the car and saw no notices. A scam by another name. Disgusted!

A great place to watch the football and have a cheap pint and a basic pub meal. Friendly staff. Had a few games of darts. Pool and snooker available too.

Friendly staff. Great cocktails and food. Plus, Poole

We had breakfast which was most enjoyable. Highly recommend it.

Great place with really friendly nice staff.

Friendly staff. Lots of room. Family friendly. Selection of food

Well done team 👏👏👏👏👏👏 just love the rooms. Plenty of tv screens and projectors to watch the football 👍 highly recommend. And I drove from Harleston. Ps. I love the coffee ☕️👍👏👏👏

Great sports bar wicked atmosphere and food. 👍

Great atmosphere to watch the footy or any sport for that matter. Staff are efficient and friendly good food and reasonable prices you can't really go wrong.

Friendly, good prices, good service. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent service under these difficult times, food & beer was first class 👍👍

Clean, organised, friendly, an excellent experience all round.

Friendly staff and comfortable seating. Prices are reasonable.

We were staying at a local campsite and walked past this place earlier in the week ... who can resist a Steak & Ribs night ??? Lovely meal and friendly staff :0)

Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Always a good atmosphere. Sports bar, lots of TVs with a range of games presented. Service could be quicker but given with a smile.

Excellent breakfast. Went for the medium, wow! Talk about full. Glad I didn't go for the large! Great staff, great facility, fantastic food. Thank you!

Friendly staff. I always feel welcome and comfortable to pop in with my children during the day. Big bar, always clean. I have deducted a star because it would be nice to see a change in the vegetarian options of their food.

As always just a nice place To have a drink

The staff, service, atmosphere and value for money is great but ... spare a thought for those of us who like coming in but don’t or can’t always eat burgers etc. Chinnys is rightly famed for its “American” menu but a larger selection of salads or non-fried food would be very helpful to those who struggle to find anything else. We like going in but are a bit limited for food.

Good events here,food ,beer Awesome AC-DC tribute band 25-3-2020

Good staff, a decent range of food options, can cater for large groups. Number of pool tables/dart boards, hire is cheap.

Nice friendly atmosphere with good beer, darts and pool

Really good breakfast , great sports bar !

Great atmosphere great bar staff, COYS

I cannot imagine a more exceptionally welcoming, comfortable place than Chinny’s. Everyone is great and normal. Happy to help. Always a pleasure to drop in for their delicious food and reasonably priced drinks. A real refuge for all but particularly for our local young people who love it. Long may Chinny’s continue to thrive serving all ages and all tastes.

Awful!! My partner and i paid £14.50 each to attend The Specials Ltd gig tonight.We have left the venue though because the band are not allowed to play until after the boxing has finished. This was not advertised any where, we paid to watch the band, not boxing. We can not stay late due to commitments and as the boxing is still on the gig wont finish until very late. We are both dissatisfied and disappointed, we wont be booking any more tickets at Chinny's.

This is a large Bar with a Pool room where weekly competitions are held and other sports that is lovely for the locals.. We went for something to eat and my Son wanted to play pool.. The food was freshly done but quick and very nice. The also have live musuc on the weekends in another large room.. If you live round here it must be lovely having this on your doorstep.. I was here last year and went weekly with my Son and they gave me a bar staff T-shirt when I left..!!

Was good apart from some lowe life riped radiador of wall in lady's felt sorry for girl who's party it was.

Seven of us meet up and we were well looked after and the breakfasts were great. Liked by all. Thank you to all. We will return.

As I passed through this wonderful town, my tummy was hungry, my feelings were down. I trawled the streets and began to wonder, will anywhere stop my insatiable hunger. To chinneys I pranced, and walked inside, for drinks or food, oh they will provide. My drink to the right, my big plate in front, I pray that I didn't look like a big greedy.... Pig. The food was divine, the service was too, so come up to chinneys, I implore you.

Great beer and great food. That's the two most important things. But always a great atmosphere in Chinnys. Very friendly place.

It's hard to find a better sports bar than this

Always friendly,good values and a good place to visit,

Thursday is steak and rib night at Chinnys. Excellent value. A real plateful! Quite a big area, don't expect a romantic setting, but good service. Coped well with our table of six. Good night out.

Very popular place, good food and service.

Great atmosphere great for families and darts and pool to enjoy with football and cricket live when available!!

Friendly staff, nice food, scary looking regulars that glare at you if you look foreign.

Great place, lovely atmosphere, with friendly staff! Good is very good too!!

Food was nice enough. The bar man was friendly but his son was extremely rude and aggresive, when he cleared our table I merely commented that throwing away unused sauces (in unopened packets) was not particularly environmentally friendly and also wasteful (there we're several packets), his response was very aggressive "you got a problem with that" ...muttered something rude and walked off!! Some customer service training wouldn't be a bad idea!!

Great place for a drink friendly environment with good food

Nice pint. Good atmosphere. PSG played very well.

Came here to watch the football, Massive football screen. Great staff very friendly and welcoming. Good prices didn’t eat but the food coming out looked delicious. Plenty of dartboards up and pool. Wish we had a bar like this at home.

Food was good and well priced. Staff friendly. Some of the food was microwaved (I m pretty sure anyway). But was still fine

Lovely food cooked to order good portions, friendly atmosphere, child friendly, very reasonable prices.

Reasonable in price. Good cooked breakfast

Great place to eat, drink, watch sport and play pool or darts!

Nice spacious bar and function room. Friendly staff. They usually have local DJ Berno Infernos Disco there, who is great.

We stopped to break up a long journey, a very welcoming place with lovely helpful staff. Teenagers had the full English and were very happy, they also had a game of darts/pool. Great place

Lovely pint of budweiser. Pool tables are cheap and smooth and make me look good. Awesome Quavers so my daughter tells me.

Watched the football here during the world cup. It was extremely busy. The beer was flat and the locals shall we say were rough as hell. I can't see how anyone would bring kids here. Broken glass covering the floors and car park. Should have seen the signs and found somewhere else.

Vraiment très très sympa !!! Plein de bierre en pression différentes avec des repas. Merci pour le chaleureux accueil

The best place to watch the world cup!!

Always a good place to visit. Friendly staff.

Watched the Champions League final, expected it to be busy but boy was it hot in the venue and no air, had to leave after 30 minutes because it was so uncomfortable. I am sure it is ok when not so busy.

You can't beat Chinny's. Quality sports bar, always showing the big events. Cheap pints and a great atmosphere for football matches.
