Pub in Camden Town. It was in the 2007 and 2008 Good Beer Guides (though not the 2009 one), which is a little odd as CAMRA tends to focus on real ales and you won't find much of that at Quinn's. What you will find, though, is a vast selection of continental beers, around 50 different ones. The ones tried on pfig's early 2007 visit were in excellent condition and properly dealt with and served. It is a big pub, so space is not an issue.
The downside is that this is probably the tackiest pub you'll ever go into: there is no apparent consistent element of decoration, the sofas are bright red velvet and they seem to have picked the worst music published in the 80s to play.
With this in mind, it's definitely worth a visit if you're into continental beers and don't care about the decoration.
Not sure about food times (Time Out lists the food times as the pub opening hours), but when Kake visited on a Sunday afternoon in September 2007 (around 4:30pm) they were doing Sunday lunch from the carvery only.
Ewan comments: I really enjoyed the selection of beers here when I visited in early 2007, and the staff were clearly very knowledgeable. There were still lots of very interesting beers on a January 2010 visit.
