If you are looking for a pub that serves real food... not processed and not mass produced then you will definately enjoy the healthy portions of freshly prepared food offered at Quinn's Pub. The environment is cozy, warm and friendly. You will feel comfortable visiting here solo or with friends. This pub is small and gets busy on the weekend...... More

Dropped in with some friends for a beer after a hockey game. Pleasant surprise - good mixture of draft beers including some local breweries. Decided to stay and eat and this was the pleasant surprise. My special - Butter Chicken was spicy, hot and delicious. This is what local pubs should be cozy, good beer, good food and good friends.

This cozy little pub in Old Ottawa South is easily missed, but worth taking the time to find. From their great food (the little Indian food appetizers, the name of which I forget, are amazing) to their great selection of draught beer, including selections from the Ashton Brewing Company (see my earlier review of the Old Mill Pub in Ashton),...

Went here based on convenience (it was close by) and some friends' recommendations. We were surprised at how good the food (chicken wings, fries & onion rings) were, and the pub beer was pretty good too. I'd rate the wings as one of the best in Ottawa. Service was great and friendly, even for a quiet weeknight.

A great little pub and a nice change from the big barn feel of the standard modern bar/pub. This place is about as small as my bedroom but it's very cozy, great food and a nice beer selection. It is the only place in Ottawa I can think of that has done a good job re-creating the neighbourhood "local" you'd... More

Quinn's is a pub that caters primarily to local Ottawa South residents. It's small size gives it a genuinely "local" atmosphere (unlike the pub-package feel of many chains), and it clearly caters to regulars, many of whom are arrayed around the bar. The food is much above average for pub food, the range of beers good, the decor interesting and... More

Being one of several local neighbourhood pubs, Quinn's is a fairly regular stop for my wife and I. It's a decent local pub, with a fair selection of beers on tap, a modest menu of largely pub standards, and a quaint pub atmosphere. During the summer months, the patio is quite nice. Don't expect magic, but I've never been disappointed... More
