Quinns Bar in Down

Over the last year I've been a regular customer but last 2 times the service has been let down. We were charged £3 for a jug of tap water even though we bought 3 sirloin steaks which were not cheap. The sirloins were not like the ones in the photos advertised, no onion rings, 1 slice of carrot 1 slice of parsnip, asked for medium cooked and every single steak was well done. It was very busy but standards are being let down.

Went for our 1st meal here, been in for pints when staying local, but never for food. Cant believe i havent ate here before. The food was fabulous, staff were friendly helpful and very efficent, service 2nd to none. Great family atmosphere despite being super busy!

So we went here for a late lunch on a Saturday and ended up staying to closing 🙈 The customer service was excellent. Particularly the food service! The kids that served us were called Gemma and Matthew, they couldn't have done anymore for us, so friendly, pleasant and attentive. They were fantastic and a credit to the management. We ended up staying here the whole night because of the staff, and the all round vibe. Will definitely be back, highly recommend! Thank you so much for a great day 🖤

Called in for Sunday roast. I had roast beef dinner, the rest of the party Turkey and Ham. My dinner was very nice and everyone was happy with their meals. £17.95 each so not out of this world expensive. A very nice bar, good staff and spotlessly clean. Had a pint of my favourite Guinness. Decent price of £5, but hard to get a really good pint outside Belfast. Definitely go back for the food though, recommended

Quinn’s is like a household name in Newcastle and at one time would have been the place to go. Unfortunately it’s lost that character that once made it so special. My friends and I are unimpressed Coors has been taken off the bar. They’ve still a big beer range, but none that appeal to us. We like what we like, creatures of habit if you will. I think Quinn’s are missing a trick, not listening to their regulars. It’s disappointing. For that reason, I’ll be spending my hard earned money elsewhere from now on.

Well worth a visit. Staff excellent.

We had a lovely experience in Quinn’s. Staff excellent. Lovely atmosphere and the food was fantastic. Would recommend and will return if I am in Newcastle again

We were a party of 15.Ribs were lovely. Roast beef was okay Burgers were average. Fish n chips were not very nice. They wouldn't let us pay separately for our meal which created a lot of hassle for us. We were 50 mins waiting for our orders to be taken. Steaks were very overpriced. It's a nice place but was full of kids running around and parents not keeping them under control. The music upstairs was so loud that we couldn't talk to each other without having to shout.

1st class service and food was flawless

Great nights craic catching up new and old friends. The staff are very welcoming. Good food

Great old bar lovely atmosphere in a central location. I didn't try the food but it looks good.

An amazing authentic Irish style pub restaurant situated on the Main Street of this charming little County Down seaside town. A menu offering an extensive choice of delicious meals and of course a variety of ales, beers and traditional Guinness from the tap, highly recommended. Table service, friendly young staff, wheelchair accessible and child friendly. Large non time limited free sea facing carpark a short stroll away on Downs Road.

Stopped in for a pint and stayed all night, great atmosphere and a wonderful open air area

Absolutely loved this bar, so much going on and this place has it all. Very friendly atmosphere, great for all. Food was decent for pub grub and no long waits, a must visit if your ever in Newcastle Co Down 😀

A great experience I would recommend this pub to anyone in the Newcastle area fairy friendly staff and great service

Such a great place, lamb roast was perfect. Service excellent, will definitely be back

What a cracker! Decided to stop in for lunch. Really friendly staff and great food. I can recommend the pork ribs genuine Irish pub. The Guinness is good and the food comes out quick. I’m not sure if there’s any outdoor season but the inside is where the magic is at anyway.

Food shockingly bad, dry and inedible. When I complained the waiting staff then just ignored us and then slapped the bill down and said till was closing. No apology, certainly no discount. Won't be back.

Delicious meal and service was excellent

Good night out was had by all of us. Thanks Quinns Bar.

Order kids curry came in a toddler bowl, next table ordered the same got 3 times the size of portion. When asked they said I don't know. Never ask how the food was never asked if we needed anything else.

A fantastic pub, great interaction by staff, food was absolutely spot on and the Guinness was super.

First-time visitors to Newcastle, so we popped into quinns after a recommendation from a friend. First impressions are what count and as we walked in ,we were greeted with a smile and a hello, did you want food or just drinks, we said just drinks for the moment, the barman was polite and attentive, we ordered Guinness and the barman interactited with us. We then ordered some food ,which was delicious and wholesome, we paid the bill and left feeling satisfied that they valued their customers' business. We will be back there on Saturday. Fabulous pub,keep up the good work.

Fully recommend this for great 🍲

Great bar but not overly busy. We visited it early afternoon. Service was excellent and staff polite efficient.

A cozy and pleasant bar with a good vibe and kind staff, good food and nice beers

What a great find on my trip to Newcastle. Fantastic beer and food, good music too! All made even better by our great server Orla Philipps. We visited twice, last Thursday and then again on Saturday 👍🏼💯☘️

Sweaty and smelly. There was also a man taking a white powder of some description in the middle of the dance floor, in front of a bouncer who seemed unfazed.

Lovely pint of Guinness friendly atmosphere had the two girls with me food was delicious by far the best pint in town

The service in there is top notch the waitresses are all so down to earth and caring,even going that little bit extra especially when it's a kids birthday. Appreciate it xx

Great venue for food & drinks. Lots of offers and friendly service.

Had a lovely meal with the family great service and very friendly staff would deff be back as this was our first time in the bar and the food was outstanding

Friendly staff and friendly helpful service

Called in after reading other Trip Advisor reviews (thank you) and we were very happy with our choice. Out in Newcastle for the day so we treated ourselves to the turkey & ham roast dinner. Very tasty and plenty of veg. Extra gravy was not a problem. 2 dinners plus chips and 2 pints for just under £50 (which l know is pricey enough but it was a treat) Plenty of seating although began to get busier after 2pm. Friendly attentive staff and very clean toilets. Will definitely go back but would be expensive enough if you had your whole family there.

Just loved this place! Served my beer of choice, great ambience and craic. Food was delicious and on time with the service being excellent. 10/10

Absolutely superb Pub Restaurant, in fact it achieved the honour of winning "Gastro Pub of the year 2023". Delicious food, reasonable prices, homely atmosphere and attentive staff. Comfortable seating, live music and TV sport. Family friendly, lift down to toilet's for disabled patrons. Authentic "Northern Irish craic" for tourists! Free all day vehicle parking on nearby Downs Road facing the Irish Sea.

Top class. Proper food. Great atmosphere. Great pints. Couldn't recommend enough A+

Probably the best chowder I've ever had. It was just a bliss of an experience. If you are nearby, definitely visit - you will not regret it!

Great food and great service though a little pricey for main dishes. Staff were brilliant with the children and couldn’t do enough.

Very welcome in staff make you feel at home

Stopped by for lunch with grand children. Food and service was great, staff very attentive, making sure all our needs were met. Will definitely visit again.

Had lovely lunch, food well presented, good sized starter potions but not a lot a difference for main sized potion, but when staff asked was rectified, would recommend a visit

Excellent Menu choice and big portions make the price palatable. Steaks are expensive so stayed clear of those and done the Ribs instead - good sports bar atmosphere and lots of families eating out too.

Sells drink to under age people.

Greatly priced, great staff and great food

Unassuming outside belies how nice it is inside. Spacious, traditional decor, spotless toilets and very tasty food (highly recommend the fish cakes and chowder).

Loved it, but they couldn't sell me a t-shirt!

Great service and excellent food. Friendly staff with a great way about them. Definitely recommend.

A nice pub with lots of space and a good menu.

**Updated 10/10/2023** What sets this bar apart is its fantastic, down-to-earth staff, with the super-friendly Katie and Mary leading the way. We all chose from the special menu and kicked back in the upper bar area. Katie and Mary not only met but totally exceeded our service expectations, making our experience seriously awesome. And the food? It was on point, leaving us totally satisfied. So, if you ever find yourselves in Newcastle, definitely check out Quinns! In the heart of Newcastle lies Quinns bar... One of my favourite local bars. (Great beer, lovely food and fantastic staff!)

If you're looking for a quiet pub for a meal and a pint...Quinn's ain't it. This is a lively place for a great night of entertainment. Sports, singing, gatherings and, of course, good food. It's big and bright and active. I hope I can get back there! Forget about parking. Take a taxi.

Went to Quinn's today for lunch was 50% of main course, we jad beef Carole with rice and chips ,prawn salad and a southern fried chicken burger chips and a fish , as soon as we entered the pub was very busy with people eating , a member of staff met us at the door and took us to a table and got our drinks ordered and delivered in minutes, then food ordered and served the same , everyone of the staff was so pleasant helpful and attentive a sheer delight , food was out of this world amazing tasty meals and the toilets spotless . Will definitely be back and will highly recommend thanks to all the staff at Quinn's.

Goodbar to visit in Newcastle (northern island) and peoples are very generous in this small town.

Had to give this place another go as its so good, roast beef dinner and turkey and ham with stuffing dinner with two pots of tea £21 what a bargain. This offer is just on Fridays for the time being. All the food is perfectly cooked and the gravy was excellent Staff are very polite and atmosphere excellent. Well done Quinns as this is a winner.

Stopped in for an evening drink, absolutely stunning and quality pub in the heart of Newcastle. A must stop visit for all.

Any trip to Newcastle involves a trip to Quinns. The food and service are 1st Class and a very affordable price. Well done guys.

Beautiful food and good quality service friendly staff and excellent service 👌

Good pub food, beer and old atmosphere.

Just called in for a drink before bus home highly recommend 😊

Very good beer. Great staff n very clean

Great bar ,packet to the doors when the sport is on

This restaurant has a 1/2 price mains on a Friday plus a beer of the month! We have been several times from March and it doesnt fail. Burger is amazing, chicken stack is great, so far we are loving it! Sometimes restaurants are under pressure and 2 Fridays ago Quinns were! The waiting staff, (GLM) were on the ball, really attentive and food was quick! Drinks too were brought quickly. Can't fault the place and would travel a distance to find anywhere as good! We love it!

Plenty of seats, food was very good, and a nice pint, relaxed atmosphere

Best food in the whole off Newcastle always go down on a Friday for my dinner and the food is always amazing

Fabulous lunch with friends. Staff are friendly, attentive and welcoming. Had the most amazing crab toes and a lovely pint Guinness zero. Highly recommended.

Wanted to experience Chowder whilst in NI. Simply wonderful, beef dinner was melt in the mouth

Very nice pub with good food and great service. On Fridays there is 50% off the mains.

Great service and food, traditional decor 👌 well done

Great pub with great food. Best pub in Newcastle. Tuesdays and Fridays, 50% off food prices.

Had a fantastic night's craic with friends. Service was amazing for such a busy spot.

Rang to book a table for food, asked what time, I said 8pm, guy on the phone said we’re only taking walk in’s tonight. We land to the bar at 8pm and ask for a table…they said “we actually stop serving food at 8pm”

Lovely atmosphere for the craic, mixed crowd and great tasty food.

Quinns bar has been a must for us over the years when we go to Newcastle. Fast service. Quality of the food depending the dish (you never go wrong if you go to the classics). Busy place on bank holidays. Good offera in drinks and cocktails.

Great food and very good staff .x

Good restaurant with a lot on the menu, local really good beer and super service👌if you are visiting the city, this restaurant can be highly recommended and as an extra star ⭐️nice atmosphere with lots of history on the walls👍😁from a visiting Dane, Quinns Bar can be highly recommended 🇩🇰🙏

Bit mixed, large pub with plenty of seating and lots of TV’s if your into your sport you will be at home. Food portions were massive and my partner really enjoyed the prawn salad. My Yorkshire pudding with sausages was ok but I’d not order again. the quality of the sausage was average at best and there was a lack of gravy, I asked for more but it never came and had to ask two different servers for a pepper mill. I left slightly disappointed but would give it another go with a different food order for me

Great pub, good food, great drink selection. Reasonably priced decent service. I always swing by when in town.

Very nice bar with a wide variety of drinks

Been here twice after my father raved about the 50% off main meals on Tuesday and Fridays. First time I went was a Tuesday and I got the turkey and ham, I was disappointed. The ham was so tiny and 90% of it was fat. Stuffing was mainly just a breadcrumb. The chef can make good champ/mash, smooth and seasoned perfectly. But what confused me was the chef not knowing what goes with certain dinners, the veg is very strange to serve with a 'sunday dinner'. I also got a scoop of some sort of cheesey leek on my plate, again does not go with turk & ham. Brocoilli & carrot parsnip mash doesnt go with chips. Dad loved his steak and to me it looked of great quality and its served with bits & bobs unlike a lot of places that serve a steak with sides. On Friday past I got a burger, it was decent, flavours were tasty,It's decent pub grub . It was bap, bacon, thick burger, bbq sauce, cheese & tobacco onions closed with a bap. It was nice but very dry. Maybe even extra bbq sauce to dip? Or some salad? I need to drink more while eating it. The service is very good and super friendly staff. For 50% off its a bargain and definitely worth it but doubt I'd go back at full price. Toilets unbelievably clean (after all its a bar/club at the weekends). Floors and tables aren't sticky at all.

Tuesday 50% of deal amazing value food excellent two course with two round of drinks for 5 people £90.. Staff very friendly and helpful Definite re visit

Attended here today with family after boasting about the food I had last week and sorry to say I was embarrassed and so let down at the food that was served! The fish goujons which were beautiful last week was burnt to bits the fish inside looked like the batter . The gravy was awful and the chicken goujons were cremated aswell as the onion rings and everyone’s chips . It’s was seriously a plate of burnt food and even though concerns were raised it was laughed of by staff and left to our own devices . Aswell as lipstick on 3 out of the 8 glasses . So let down

We loved Quinns. Food was delicious and staff were brilliant. Great atmosphere. Cant wait to get back there

Absolutely amazing bar. Menu full of deliciousness. Food was out of this world. Slight delay on one meal but customer service was amazing. Kept updating us and then offered a free drink due to slight delay. Wishing I lived in Newcastle as I think I w9uld be a regular. Yum. Thank you xxx

We were staying in Newcastle for my sister's 50th and had contacted Quinns to book a table and ask about balloons etc. The manager kindly agreed to decorate the table with balloons and provide prosecco and a special birthday dessert. When we arrived, these arrangements had clearly been forgotten. The staff provided the prosecco but said the balloon pump was broken and there was no mention of cake. We were really disappointed as we'd wanted to make a fuss of my sister. The food was poor. Two of the starters were lukewarm - including the "famous seafood chowder." I think this could potentially be dangerous! The Thai fishcakes were odd. The mains were marginally warmer but the real insult came when we got the bill and 2 mini bottles of wine (25cl) were £8 each! A whole bottle would have only been £20! No-one thought to mention this when taking our drinks order! The irony in all of this is that we were asked incessantly by a disorganised staff if everything was okay and despite raising our concerns, nothing was done - no discount was offered - no apology for letting us down with the birthday arrangements. One of the waiters offered to reheat our food.... Avoid. This place has potential. The bar is cosy and comfortable, but they let us down badly with the birthday arrangements and we had a pretty awful meal too. We felt let down that the wine pricing also wasn't raised with us until the end of the meal.

Stopped in for a quick bite and a pint or two... Great staff food and staff... Well worth a visit... Location is fantastic

Very quick service, wonderful atmosphere. We had the seafood chowder and fish and chips. Genuinely out of this world! Huge portion sizes too. The chowder was the best ever.

Great place, food is delicious and the staff are excellent.

Was here for a friend’s birthday had a great time food outstanding drinks great staff amazing so friendly and helpful and special mention to Gemma our waitress who was so helpful and friendly great experience can’t recommend this place highly enough

Great service and excellent food definitely recommend

Had a enjoyable meal in Quinn's . Good was great service was great didn't wait long for food to come it wasn't overly busy. Atmosphere was good.

What can we say about quinns in Newcastle the booze is not proper alcohol the door staff are a beating people this place needs to be closed down it's selling drink to underage kids

Very nice food and friendly staff

Food was amazing, Came out quick, would recommend the roast turkey, Servers were so lovely and would ask if we were okay often, Would highly recommend here for a meal then can head on down to the bar for drinks, Will definitely be returning again.

Great place, made even better by the fantastic service, staff are top class. Nice food on the menu and everywhere spotless.

Definitely a great place in Newcastle. Directly a few meters from the local beach. The service is great, pleasant, helpful, a beautiful interior of the pub, a large corner bar and good food. This place is worth visiting...

I loved Quinns bar in Newcastle Northern Ireland. The staff are friendly and pub itself is full of charm and character. The Guinness was delicious. The food, oh my gosh, it was soooo delicious the beef melted in the mouth. I definitely have to go back there.

Called in for lunch. After we had been shown to a table we were able to order pretty quickly. The food only took about 20 minutes and was really tasty. It wasn't too busy but the staff were very attentive and always asked if everything was alright. I'd definitely be back for another feed!

Lively place, and busy. Food is amazing, staff are friendly.

Quick service ,food delicious, great guiness

Elevated dishes, ambiance, staff all great food was lovely wait staff sweet.
