There aren’t many pubs named after the landlord, but old Mr Quinn can still be seen working around the bar at this conspicuous yellow and blue establishment on the corner of Kentish Town Road. It’s in dire need of some refurbishment, but it’s spacious, there’s an appealing garden out back, and the selection of beers is excellent. Greene King takes the lead on the handpumps; Guinness is a point of pride (it’s an Irish pub after all) and tap beers on our visit included Mort Subite kriek lambic. There are more Belgian fruit beers in the fridge, including mango, myrtle and raspberry flavours, plus a range of first-class German varieties rarely seen in London. These alone make this family-run spot worth a visit, though football screenings keep locals coming back, too, and the food is decent. We’d hate to see it fitted out with glittery floral wallpaper and fringed lampshades, but the bench seats are downright shabby.

brilliant place for a quiet drink and an Ireland rugby match if there happens to be one on-best Guinness in London without a doubt-not the frozen stuff that has no taste

Oh dear, this place is rank and the owners are rude and offensive. Only good thing is the Guinness. Bar flies swamp the taps, toilets are disgusting and the food mysteriously comes from upstairs, probably the ancient landlords personal kitchen, I poked it and left it, explained why and got abused. This place is in serious decline and deservedly so.

I went to Quinn's last night and would NEVER GO BACK. The man behind the bar was rude and offensive. Quinn sells a selection of Belgium beer and whilst looking in the fridge to decide which one I wanted the man behind the bar gestured with his hand, to some punters, that my friends are I were w**kers for tryign to decide which beer we wanted. Very very rude and rather odd behaviour. My boyfriend called the barman up on this and, as suspected, he was agressive and dissmissive. I would never go back and would never recommend this place to anyone. Belgo's in Camden town has a much better Belgium beer selection, minus the attitude and aggresion.
