Reviews for Quinn's Ale House in Ottawa, ON
Quinn's used to be my favourite pub in the centre of Ottawa. It was reliable, served varied and tasty food for decent prices and... with excellent beers on tap. Add this to the list of places left a ghost of their former self by covid. Every item has beenpriced into absurdity on their menu, well beyond the 20% increase you should expect from this last year. The food has decreasedin quantity and quality from prior servings. The menu is cut to almost no options, 80% deep fried. Their previously reliablefish and chips were way overcooked and much more batter than fish. Both beers arrived flat. Service was rushed: although cordialand efficient, clearly stretched thin. A real shame to see a pub operating as a ghost of what it was 15 years ago. Read more
Crazy how quiet this part of Ottawa is - barely anywhere open at 10pm on a Friday night and this place was empty despite a... lovely warm evening, patio and two playoff games on inside. Read more
Great classic pub experience. Had some great ABC beers, enjoyed the ambiance and the service. Blueberry wheat ale was a hit!
Great spot, great cozy atmosphere They serve Labbats 50 which is awesome, draft too! We had their chicken Caesar salad and it... was very good. They deserve their great reputation! Read more
I had "The Full Monty" today and an ABC Amber. Both were excellent. The burger especially was cooked to perfection and tasted... great. The service was friendly and fast. Would definitely come again. Read more
I was a regular here for a few years in my university days, 2010-2014. Played the open mic a few times and generally enjoyed it.... Popped in for a pint on a whim on Saturday night and was pretty disappointed. I wanted a beer to pass the time so I sat at thebar. There was only one person working and they were flipping two tables, so no problem, I'll wait. Tables settled, beerspoured, ok. Next food comes up for another table so no problem. Then a keg runs out so ok still waiting but all veryunderstandable so far. At this point the bartender starts texting someone and doesn't say anything to me so I wait. They takesome orders from a table that has been seated for a while. They pour a beer from a tap literally right next to me and don't evenmeet my eye. This happens a few times and now I've been sitting here for almost 30 minutes without so much as a hello.Eventually I get my beer and take the bill. Was tempted to leave a full pint and walk out on principle. I don't believe inwasting beer. Extra star for nostalgias sake, pretty disappointed considering all the good memories I have if this place.

Slow service. I think the server was working alone both for the inside and outside. The nachos were ok. Cute patio.
Fantastic little pub great wings, a patio, and excellent service.
