Sinclair Spirits

Sinclair Spirits was a chain of bars owned by Augustus Sinclair as one one of his many business ventures.

Bioshock
The bar located on the first floor of  Poseidon Plaza  in  Fort Frolic is now in a dilapidated state. Upon entrance to the bar, one will see that more of Sander Cohen 's unmistakable works of "art" are positioned throughout the room. Several seemingly dead Splicers are arranged in ballerina poses, their blood visible under the gallons of plaster that encases them. Another plastered body lies in repose upon a table while another is posed in terror by the basement door.

Players with the Booze Hound Tonic will find a bit of a relief in Sinclair Spirits, as there are many discarded alcoholic beverages strewn about the ruined business. The cash register behind the bar contains 18 dollars, and the one on the counter is empty. There are no Gene Tonics or weapons to be found here, but there is a conspicuous switch behind the bar that unlocks the door to the basement of Sinclair Spirits.

The basement is flooded and dark, and the only objects down below are another plaster-coated victim, a safe, and a Power to the People machine. Upon activation of this machine, Jack will quickly discover that the disturbing works of "art" he saw coming in apparently aren't dead at all, but are now roaming Poseidon Plaza, silently stalking him from the shadows.

Once the Power to the People machine has been activated, a gate covering stairs in the floor across from the entrance to Sinclair Spirits retracts, allowing Jack access to a flooded shopping area down below. In this area the player will find the Extra Nutrition 2 Tonic, and another frightening statue encounter.

Bioshock 2
According to one of Sinclair's removed Audio Diaries, Sinclair suggests that some smart operator might offer discounts to those who rented out accommodation at a hotel to help suck the money out of their pockets and keep them desperate enough to stay at the hotel. However, there is no sign of a Sinclair Spirits being located in Pauper's Drop, or that he might have ownership of the Limbo Room.

Burial at Sea - Episode 1
Another Sinclair Spirits is located on Market Street and can be visited by Booker during his travel through the promenade. The bar is relatively empty despite the New Years Eve celebrations currently taking place. Upon entering the establishment, The bartender will speak to the player and question why Andrew Ryan only choose to build one city and not two.
