Located on East Washington next to the Englert, Quinton’s is perfect for a casual date or a night out with friends. With the Beatles and Van Morrison playing in the background and walls covered in paintings of famous musicians, the restaurant has a cool, laid back vibe. Quinton’s serves spuds, sandwiches, soup and burgers, so the menu will please even your pickiest friend. It is a great place to watch Hawkeye games while drinking beer and eating classic and delicious appetizers—the curly fries and spinach and artichoke dip are especially good. And if that still hasn’t enticed you, don’t forget about the bar. With tall girl beers and a vast selection of mixed drinks, their specials are hard to beat. Seriously, picking just one drink from their martini menu is agonizing since they all look so good. Stop by on a Friday for big girl margaritas in flavors like pomegranate or peach and you’re sure to be hooked.
