Jack Quinn Irish Ale House & Pub

Absolutely love this place.  The reuben sandwich is outstanding.  I went back again the next day.  The bookmaker sandwich is also great as is the fish & chips.  Awesome décor and right in the heart of downtown.  My favorite spot in Colorado Springs.  By far.

Excellent place to grab a drink and get your grub on! We came here Friday night from the recommendation of a local and it was a great place to chill and have some killer bar food. We were sat in one of their little private booths right behind the hostess stand and all it needed was a little door to complete the enclosement. While we didn't get to see a lot of action going on in the bar, it was nice to have an intimate setting where we could actually hear each other. We just missed happy hour but they had a Sam Adams special going on for $3 so we enjoyed a cold one while perusing the menu.

Problem #1-Everything on the menu sounded delicious. While trying to decide on what to get we ordered their sausage and soft pretzel kebob appetizer and the problem #2 showed up-it was amazing. The combo of salty and sweet with their really, really spicy mustard dipping sauce (I love all things spicy and a little dab had my mouth on fire!) was amazing and I wanted more after that. Instead I ordered their Monghan Club which is like a turkey club with bacon and cheese. They have a good sandwich selection and I was surprised to see a few salmon dishes on their menu as well, something I wouldn't really envision at an Irish joint. The sandwich came out and it was very tasty with a garlic aioli spread on it with fresh potato wedges. I told myself I would save some for later but of course that didn't happen and once again joined the clean plate club. Service was great as well, our server was attentive without being overbearing. I will definitely stop by here again whenever I'm in Colorado Springs!

Came to this pub for a work related function. We were on the upper floor so this is the part I am reviewing. The decor was a bit strange. The bar is very ornate, with carvings or nude women, heavy dark woods and colorful stained glass fixtures while the rest of the room is so simple and sparsely decorated that it looks out of place. There are many photos on the walls, but no dark wood or carvings to give it that 'old pub' feel like one finds common in Irish pubs. The whole atmosphere was somewhat sterile.

The bartender was really nice and friendly. The food was pretty good. I had the grilled vegetables on focaccia sandwich (eggplant, zucchini, onions and peppers) I found the pickles to be a very odd note in there. My DH had the Angus burgers with chips. The burger was nice and juicy and the fries were coated with a flavorful savory seasoning. We also ordered the spinach artichoke dip. I was pleasantly surprise not to find it over garlicky, as it often happens with this dish. It came accompanied by mixed corn tortilla chips, and SURPRISE, some crudites. I really did appreciate the raw veggies and the dip was a nice complement to them. Overall we did enjoy the food but I wish the decor was a little more thought out.
