Quinn's on the Corner | Cocktails, Whiskey & Sports Bar

On January 25, 2026, I placed an Uber Eats pickup order. When I arrived, the store was closed and locked, lights were off, and the entrance was not shoveled due to a snowstorm. The business appeared vacant all day. I canceled the order and requested a refund, but Uber Eats denied it, falsely claiming the food was being prepared. I also emailed Quinn’s on the Corner in Arlington requesting a refund and received no response.

Ewwww. What’s that in the food? I question their business model. Gone down hill. Super dissatisfied with their service. No longer my stomping grounds. Patrons who called this a local watering hole beware. The new managers or leaders behind the bar don’t want to work. Booooooo.

It’s an absolute same what has happened to this place. This was the premier DC sports bar and now it’s nothing more than a college dive bar. The two inches of dust on the fans spinning over everyone eating, the sloppy staff, and the lack of care around the restaurant is astounding.

I don’t know what happened that had the previous owner Zach leave, but whoever owns it now needs to fix themselves. We won’t be back, sadly.

I walked in to place an order to go. It took a while. A waitress came out with it and gave it to the guy who took my order. He took it back into the kitchen for 5 more min. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was mushy! I couldn’t finish it. The coleslaw was a teaspoonful and dry. The brownie a la mode was burnt. What a waste of money!

Full disclosure: visited during Sunday football pandemonium.

However, I'm a potential guest with cash in hand. Zero engagement from anyone (except to cut me off). There was ample opportunity to find a seat or get me a beer. I was begging for engagement.

Not much hospitality, dirty glasses, filthy floor and plates everywhere. Actually, did me a favor as walked a few doors down and was able to find a single seat with staff wanted to take of me.

OK, we’ve been to the pub a half dozen times now, so it’s fair to write a review. Obviously, we keep coming back, so there’s something to like about it! We’ve come for happy hours, and we come for weekend brunches. Both are great deals: affordable drinks, and a good menu. My wife keeps getting the same thing at brunch: the crabs Benedict, and she loves it. I’ve been eating my way through the menu, trying different things. Most are good (although the Detroit pizza was pretty awful - sorry!). Service is fun and friendly. Plenty of TVs, showing every sporting event you could imagine. The place is rocking on Sunday afternoons with the NFL games.

But I have to share with you a recent discovery. Quinn‘s fish and chips is the bomb. I’ve had a lot of fish and chips in a lot of joints in a lot of countries, and this is about at the top of the list. Generous portion, perfectly crispy and spicy batter, juicy fish. The chips could be a little crisper, but they’re not the star of the show here. The fish is perfect. Try the fish and chips.

Awesome sports bar. Blackened Chicken Caesar Wrap was outstanding alongside a cold beer and cheese fries! Seems like this place would be awesome during a game!

I've been here a few times. The food is awesome. The first time I ordered an old fashioned it wasn't up to standard. The last few times I ordered standard beers on tap and it was wonderful.

The pizza was so bland and basic I thought it might dissolve through the table.

Ruben sandwich is the best I've had in Virginia! Great corned beef. Great service every time. Zach always takes great care of me and my guests. They have tater tots! Go spend your money or I will.

Went to Quinn’s to try and watch a football game but it was really confusing and no one knew what game would be on which television, unorganized and had to move my table. The chicken tenders tasted like hot dogs? They were so horrible and we ordered a chicken Cesar wrap but got a buffalo wrap? The wait staff was doing their best but it wasn’t a nice time at all.
