Qype: Quinn's in London



London - Pubs & Bars - Bars - Sports Bars

As Adore says - when Quinns actually closes is a consistent mystery that may well never be solved as it would involve someone leaving it and still being sober enough to remember...bearing in mind that people are normally half-cut by the time they get there - it seems unlikely it'll ever happen.

A big bar once you get inside and a big space as well - Quinns does seem to have some tardis like qualities. It's a slightly odd atmosphere as it's half old school locals/half spill over from Camden looking for a drink - but it's absolutely fine so long as you're not on your own!

It has a few TV's dotted around the place and because it's usually not that busy it can be a good place to catch a game. Having said that the pub doesn't really feel like it's been set up to watch sport and it can feel a bit like you are in a mate's massive back room watching their fairly decent, but not exactly huge TV.

Not sure about the day - it's always seemed pretty dark in there and I can think of numerous bars around the area which are far nicer for a fat Sunday or quiet daytime pint and paper.

Has to be said I haven't tried the food there...I suspect it might be a bit alarming.

Good place for a late night would be my recommendation.
