Guinness Open Gate Brewery – West Loop Chicago Reviews
As authentic as Disney World
Stopped in for dinner and a beer. I lived in Germany for a year and visited the country countless times after my residency . I didn't find any of this establishment's German style beers to remotely taste like the real thing. Our group or

Finally got to check out this brewery at a time it wasn't as crowded. Guinness Open Gate is the American location where they brew this famous brand from Ireland. It has the classics you already know plus a few they brew specially. A tourist trap

A fun spot for German food and beer! They have a spacious patio, and the best soft pretzel in town. It's pricey, but gigantic in size which makes it worth it. The beer cocktails are all unique and tasty, and they have beer flights where you can
Do NOT go here for Notre Dame football games.
Even though it's an "official Notre Dame bar", the TVs are very challenging to see unless you're sitting at the bar and they don't even play the game sound. The service was also fairly slow and the didn't give any water

Ready for a semi-weird review? My friend and I dropped by and were excited about the live music on a weekday - what a treat! We got a round of discount drinks for happy hour, super yummy. We also got some food, which was also really yummy and the por
Came here for lunch - the stewed beef is amazing.
Beer on tap is also refreshing they had a machine for you to test your favourite flavors
Came on a Thursday night and had a lovely time.
We got recommendations from the waiter based on our preferences and enjoyed it. We also got the classic stout. The food was also good and the serving sizes were large considering the price. They also tasted pretty good. The environment was really liv
Great service and food.
Hubby got Reuben and oysters. I got fish and chips. We share and still couldn't eat it all. The Guinness was so perfect.
Why are dogs allowed inside Guinness where there is onsite
Why are dogs allowed inside Guinness where there is onsite food preparation and kitchen? Crazy! Food was just ok. Interesting how fast the food came out and most needed to cooking time. Makes you wonder if anything if cooked to order or fresh. Guinne
The girl at the bar was delightful.
Service at the table was very slow. Why not check in with is more? Loved the A Lovely Day for Love draft. And also the P.O.G. Ale.

My lovely wife and I finally made it to Guinness Open Gate Brewery the other day. We enjoyed tasty food and drink during a magical visit to the Guinness emporium in Dublin a couple of years ago, and indeed I am a fan of Guinness beer, so we were dest

Listen, there is nothing better than a Guinness, in my opinion. It took us a while to get here because of all the hype and I didnt really want to wait in line or be a part of grand opening kinks. Made a reservation for Saturday brunch. Just beer is
Service was very good.
Quiet at 11am, but picked up by 1230. Food was tasty and quick. I thought guiness was served in a non frosted glass, but we got it in chilled mugs. We prefer cool vs cold guiness. Anyway, overall it was a fun atmosphere and we had an enjoyable time.

Pub Fare & Beer
We had a late afternoon reservation for four people at 2 PM on a Friday. The place was fairly empty when we arrived, but before we were brought to a table, the host questioned whether we would be dining. Planning to order some pub fare appetizers, we
Guinness is great!
I visited the Guinness Brewery during St. Patrick’s Day festivities in Chicago. The place is amazing! The drinks and vibes are simply unmatched. A must do if you visit Chicago.
A PLACE YOU WANT TO LOVE BUT DOES NOT LIVE UP TO EXPECTATIONS…
The place is beautifully and modernly set and decorated, though not in the least reminiscent of a pub, the Guinness brewery, or anything the beer stands for. You can live with this, but I bet it was not just me the only one who got lured by the Guin
Meal in a Glass
Guinness Open Gate Brewery has a fun lively atmosphere, with good food and a fantastic staff. It is a great stop for a group of friends to stop by and get a great beer.
Average brunch, overpriced
Came here for Father’s Day brunch with wife and kids, excited for an Irish breakfast. At $25 (and an expat myself), I was expecting a lot. It was average. Came out lukewarm. Portion was a good size, but didn’t warrant the price inflation: ingredi
Very Good Visit !
The Guinness open gate brewery was excellent visit, I met my online friends there on 6th April we had Great time there The Guinness is the Same as in Ireland lovely Smooth Creamy pints also I had the Guinness Stew which was delicious my friends also
Cramped Space
The space is beautiful, but very small for the location and popularity of Guinness. The food was very expensive for the quality and portion size. Mussels were wonderful and fries were double fried, so good! The rest of the meal was subpar, chicken sa
Clearly the beer will be good but don't overlook the food! Wow!
I can't wait to come back! I decided to stop for lunch and am so glad I did. The mushroom pot pie (with braised beef added) was amazing, the service was equally great. The staff was attentive, made great recommendations and the atmosphere is
Will Definitely Return! Thanks Sam
Fantastic 3 hour lunch experience with very professional & friendly staff! Sam, our barista was excellent! Great atmosphere, clean, new.
Regular American bar with some limited Guinness branding and merch
Disappointing as didn't have the Irish or brewery feel I was expecting. Felt like a regular bar with just some Guinness branding stuck around. Would have been nice to have Irish music playing there
