On the corner of Main Street since the 1920s
Quinns Bar, Newcastle: Pints, plates & the craic
A 1920s pub and grocer's, now a gastro pub with great food, good pints and some of the biggest nights out in County Down.
Our story
Back in the 1920s and 1930s, Quinn's was two places at once: a pub at the rear and a grocer's shop in the front.
The bar was owned by John Quinn & Co. “The Milestone”, a company that traded right up until the late 1960s, when one of the major supermarkets took it over.
Where possible we've recreated that pub and shop as it was during that period. The wooden floor (unpolished and worn!), the old “sheeted” timber strips on the walls and the wallpaper are just as they would have been bought at the time.
Some of the old bottles and cans were goods actually sold back then. We sincerely hope you enjoy the craic, the food and the pints in Quinn's Bar.
We even found real Quinn's Tea, Sugar & Flour packaging in our cellar. It's behind the bar now. Go and have a look!
