Reviews for Quinn's Pub in Seattle, WA
I don’t like writing bad reviews but unfortunately I came away feeling pretty fed up after dinner at Quinn’s. Me and my... partner were greeted in a cold and unfriendly manner, the barman seemed totally uninterested as did the server. We ordered two12oz Belgian beers, both tasted a bit flat (we’re British and know good European beer), it seemed as though they were from thebottom of the keg despite the barman saying otherwise. The service was incredibly poor, especially for this price point. The‘pub’ wasn’t even half full. Numerous times I tried to get the servers attention while she was more interested in checkingher phone. Once dinner finally arrived, it was mediocre. We had two hanger steaks, one with the potatoes and the other withfries. Fries were definitely from a bag and way too salty, the hanger steak tasted nice and was cooked well, but both of ourswere cold. My partner commented on his potatoes being cold too, and the chef bizarrely served this with a “corn salsa” whichwas cold too — and the corn, from a tin. The red wine jus that accompanied the steaks tasted good, but again, was stonecold. Admittedly we ate most of our food because we were crazy hungry — if the server had bothered to come and check on us tosee if everything was ok, we would have said something. Honestly, with as much competition in Capitol Hill as there is, thisplace needs to do much, much, better. We won’t be returning. Please sort your staff out, I’ve personally worked in servicemyself for years and know how hard a job it can be — but there is no reason for totally disinterested and frankly, rude,staff. We tipped below average, because, you made sure to make us feel totally unwelcome, so, thanks! Read more
Quinn's burgers are legendary, and for good reason. Juicy and perfectly medium rare with a great brioche bun. I also... appreciate a touch of my Canadian homeland on the menu with their quite excellent take on poutine. But also their cocktailtonight (the sage infused Missed Opportunity) had a great balance of tart and bubbly with remarkably enjoyable herbaceous nosenotes. My wife had a really well done grilled chicken Caesar salad and the roasted carrots with Korean spices. A successfulmeal here, as always. A reliability excellent favourite place of ours. Read more
PROS: Great atmosphere, close to a lot of things in case you need to stop in for a quick bite or some drinks, cocktail was... solid CONS: Food was okay, not a large beer selection Overall, just a decent place to stop in for some quick drinks and niceambiance. It didn't really do anything badly, but didn't offer anything that would make me want to return unless I happened tobe in the area. Read more
It's hard to find good food in Cap Hill, every time I visit Seattle I find myself headed downtown or near the lake to find good... food (obviously there's even more south but that's a story for another day). I went to Quinn's with some friends and we had agreat time. While it's a pub they have good food. Elevated bar food if you will. We all ended up getting the steak, apparentlyone of us had been having a craving for steak from Quinn's for days. I got it medium rare and it was well seasoned and supertender. I like the way the potatoes kind of just stretched and the asparagus was just right. I got the creme brulee for dessertwhile my friends got the cheesecake and they mentioned the creme brulee is their always dessert at Quinn's but they wanted toget something new. The food came out really fast, would definitely recommend. Read more
Good service, decent food. Very lively vibes. They are currently very chill about covid (no masks required or worn by staff) if... that's important to you. A somewhat limited food menu selection, but lots of beer options Read more
It's a great place to go on a date! We arrived on a Sunday at 4 p.m., when they first opened. The bartender was incredibly... attentive and continually checking in on us because we were the first ones to come when they opened. We ordered the PoutineFries and Bone Marrow as appetizers, and the Sloppy Joe and Burger as our main course. strongly suggested and will be back. Read more
Quinn's is a favorite. I don't know how to describe that everything I've ever had there has been great. I love how knowledgeable... the staff is about their drinks and food. Seeing a giant block of ice carved into a huge cube just for my drink, the lighting,atmosphere, all make for an incredibly special place. Read more
Nice pub! We had made a reservation and got seated immediately. Once we sat down we noticed the server that was attending our... section wouldn’t come to our table. But, we know it’s busy and we kept reading thru the menu. 15 minutes later a gentlemanwho we come to find out is the manager asked if anyone had been to our table and we said, “not yet”. He apologized and saidto give him one minute. He then brought us water and said our first round of drinks was on him. It was very nice of him to offerthat because we weren’t going to complain but we saw the waitress had zero interest in coming to our table. We were only 3 ata table. When our food was being brought out, the waitress that was avoiding us was carrying two of the plates and was veryrude. To be honest, we don’t know why but she was giving better service to 4 gentlemen next to us. Other than that, the foodwas excellent! And seriously one of the best old fashions I’ve had! Read more
