   Nice place for a get together. The beer is, of course, terrific. I tried the Old Fashioned--one of the very best beverages I've ever had. The food is big--excessively huge portions and a bit over-the-top ingredients. That said, it tastes good.

   Guinness Open Gate BreweryResponded on March 11, 2020Glad you enjoyed the Old Fashioned Ale! Hope we'll see you again soon.

   Came for brunch on March 8th. Seated and greeted on time with a reservation. Had high expectations because the complementary mini muffins they brought out were quite tasty, as was the beer. Took a while to take our food order but it was busy. Understandable. But when the food came out three of the four egg dishes had immediate issues. Two of the dishes had overcooked fried eggs, the other had runny whites, underdone. We flagged down our server and she immediately went to the kitchen to request a do over. In the meantime my wife dug in to what remained on her plate and kept coming up with chunks of fat instead of corned beef. When the do over eggs came back they were swimming in a plate of oil. Not very appetizing. She refused to eat them and our server got the manager to come over and offer her another menu item. The make up entree chicken and biscuit, came out in less than two minutes so it had to have been prepared and sitting somewhere. She managed to choke down half before throwing the towel in. At least the manager comped her meal. Go for the beer, but stay away from the food.

   We brought the kids for brunch and we really enjoyed everything we had! We started off sharing cinnamon rolls followed by the Irish Eggs Benedict and Boxty. Both good but I HIGHLY recommend the Irish Eggs Benedict! We also tried the Beermosa and we were surprised how good they were.

   I loved our dinner ! The food was great and I love the ambiance . Once you are done dinner, there are so many different things you can do : shop, hang at the bar, take a self tour, or hang outside at a fire pit.

    Brunch was excellent, biscuits and gravy, stuffed French toast, brown bread and cinnamon rolls. They give you lemon poppyseed mini muffins that were very taste. I would order them all again. Of course, all the beer 💗! Service was wonderful. I can’t wait to go back, again. I would recommend reservations.

    I attended the brewery tour and tasting and then had dinner. The tour and tasting was was 5 star. Our tour guide was able to answer all questions regarding the history of Guinness and of all things beer, wine and spirits. The restaurant staff were also 5 star. Everyone from host to server and runner were extremely well trained. The reason I gave it less than 5 stars was the menu choice for vegetarians. The only choice was the Beyond burger or Beyond sausage. I would have liked to see a more imaginative vegetarian choice of sandwiches or main. That being said I would highly recommend the Guinness Open Gate Brewery & 1817 restaurant

    The Guinness brewery is absolutely beautiful. It looks like it would be a great place to hang out on a nice day. I was a little disappointed with the lack of non-meat options for a Friday during lent from an Irish inspired brewery. Other than that, everything was great. I had no idea they had so many beer selections!

    The restaurant was very open and well lit, seats were comfy, views were good. Our waitress may have been a bit over burdened at the brunch service as we had a pretty long wait after we got our beers before she came back to take our order. The stuffed french toast and burger got good reviews, the crab omelet had waaay too many large chunks of sun dried tomato. Had to wait a while to eat the potatoes as they needed salt badly and the waitress was not close by. So a pleasant experience, not outstanding, which I had really wanted it to be.

    Outstanding food and service at 1817! We had a wonderful time visiting the Guinness brewery with our out of town guests. While we were not able to get a tour (checked 4 days in advance of our intended visit) we were happy to be able to reserve a table for the day and time we wanted. Weekends are always busy at Guiness and this was no exception! Very busy but extremely well managed. We felt well taken care of from the moment we entered the building! Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. We each really enjoyed our meals and drinks! I love getting a flight of beers to taste the experimental beers! The Old Fashioned was amazing! Yummmmm! We highly recommend!

    Food was amazing and service was great. Best burger I've had in a long time and the milkshake was awesome. Only complaint is they let people congregate around the bar and a group was getting pretty loud and rowdy. There's plenty of spots in that place to enjoy beers and get rowdy but it was a little disruptive to the folks who were dining.
