The restaurant opened in 2007.[16] Scott Staples was the chef; he and his wife Heather were co-owners.[17][18] Quinn's offered approximately 60 types of beer, as of 2009.[19]
Jeremy Ravetz was named the chef de cuisine and general manager in late 2011.[20][21] In 2012, Seattle Magazine's Anna Samuels wrote, "In the past year, Ravetz has infused the existing pub-fare menu with gourmet techniques, resulting in rustic dishes that toe the fine line between pretension and comfort food, such as Quinn's famous Scotch egg. Since adding general manager to his list of titles last May, Ravetz has been instrumental in a bevy of new projects, including the pub's flagship brew, Quinn's Tap, introduced last summer and a charcuterie operation planned for early next year."[22]
Quinn's participated in Seattle Beer Week in 2012.[14] In 2013, the business announced plans to start serving lunch and participate in the city's "parklet" program for sidewalk dining.[23] For the Capitol Hill Block Party in 2013, the restaurant offered jello shots (lime, orange, and raspberry), as well as beer and rum drink specials.[24]
Brothers Charles and Peter Kim became owners of the restaurant in 2018.[25][26] Quinn's has since been described as an Asian-owned business.[8]

Reception
In a 2013 episode of the Travel Channel series The Layover, Anthony Bourdain said of Quinn's: "They do great (burgers). There's great local beers and the delightful wild boar sloppy joe, which is something they tell me you just gotta do."[27] Eater Seattle included the wild board sloppy joes in a 2014 list of twelve "iconic Seattle meat dishes to try before you die".[28]
