"When a bar comes to Damascus, a city that had a 50 year alcohol prohibition that didn 't end until 2013, it 's BIG news. Up until then, and even today because of the limited choices), most of the drinking any resident of the town does is in neighboring Germantown or Mount Airy. Quincy 's has been a welcome addition and I have been coming here to see the same familiar faces since it opened 3 4 years ago. It should be noted that there is no LIQUOR served here only beer and wine but that 's a Damascus issue, not Quincy 's. Damascus will NEVER be a liquor accessible town, I can assure you of that. In any event, you won 't find a nicer and more attentive bartender than Tyler he works long hours and seemingly lives there but never looks agitated or gloomy as you 'll see with some in that line of work. Another thing I love about Quincy 's as I do with any bar that uses it is the access to the TOUCHTUNES jukebox. Nothing like controlling the music and the mood from your own phone! This is a GREAT place to sit at the bar on Sundays during the fall and watch NFL football all day very organized and each of the flat screen overhead TV 's are labeled with particular games. And hey, this is Damascus after all, so Quincy 's doubles as a FAMILY RESTAURANT! Bring the kiddos and enjoy the food which, by the way, is really good). The only reason I deducted one star? The hours are a tad odd they are open Wednesday through Saturday from 3PM to 9PM ish), Sunday 12PM to 9, and closed on BOTH Monday and Tuesday. Naturally, I always have a hankering to be there on...well, Monday or Tuesday. :"

"I should start and say that I 've been relatively local to this place for 10 years and only stopped in 3 times maybe? Normally I give it a shot again every once in a while and it is just blah. Atmosphere is actually decent for a strip mall location. Opt for the table/bar booths are like 1900 church pews not comfortable. Food: leaves a lot to be desired here. This is not a destination Irish pub for a few reasons but most of all the food is lack luster. While I think some of the stuff is actually scratch made I feel like a lot is straight off a US foods truck and into a deep frier. We ordered 4 things: steak bites, papas delights (Ruben egg rolls), fish and chips, and their version of a southern pickle brined chicken sandwich. Number one gripe was that when you think of Ruben you think of corned beef.. hopefully pics will illustrate this but there is a SINGLE slice of deli sliced corned beef on here ... not saying it has to be a Katz deli sandwich, but damn, you literally just get sauerkraut and Swiss.... kind of reminds me of how everyone complains about Chipotle and their portion sizing recently, except far worse..... 3/10... steak bites were tender but harshly overcooked. They never stood a chance because they 're prepped way too small. The appetizer came with onion strings and there was no steak bites especially compared to the garnishes... see pics...see Chipotle comment above 2/10. The main course.... 3 fish nuggets... they should go traditional and serve a whole fillet here but they 're prepping it, or are getting it from a US foods truck as nugget style... chips are not chips... but out the bag of Jojos.... they should be fresh cut to stand up to this Irish/English classic. Chicken sandwich is dry... it 's chicken breast, I expected it. Service: we came when it was busy, I 'll give the benefit of the doubt here but it took a while and we had to flag our waitress down 3 times for drinks/food ordering (after our initial app/drink order). Cost: 2/10 I feel like in this economy this is where people really make decisions, even in Woodbury. The real crime is that for 4 beers 2 apps and entrees we paid just over a $100. Plus $20 tip. The real caveat here is that you have to compare this to every other place where you can get a $100 meal for 2. This is approaching date night type spots which aren 't too far away like Mallory 's/Pier500 in Hudson or Mancinis/Digidio type prices in St Paul. Which again boggles my mind how this place stays in business. It has to be local businesses and friends of the bartender. Bonus: Also asked for a Guinness with Ribena just to test how Irish this place really is and got a blank stair and honestly an idk... changed order to a black and tan but the blank stair without effort to ask was slightly depressing but perhaps waitress was having a bad day... she made no attempt to ask or find out this info. Try a different spot in Woodbury, for quick and light bar fair up the road is decent at the taproom. This place is just meh I 'm unsure how they stay in business in this economy without stellar food and service. Maybe very loyal and close locals."
