We were excited to get a reservation here since we toured the Guinness Storehouse when we were last in Dublin. However, we were very underwhelmed. Experimental beers are very high quality. Service was non existent.

For anyone who enjoys craft beer and good food, I can't give a higher recommendation than Guiness's Open Gate Brewery. It was nice to experience innovation in beer making in the heart of Dublin.
