Guinness Open Gate Brewery — Local services in Dublin

We visited the brewery tonight after passing by many times, because we live in the area. We waited until they opened on Thursday and booked a table. We were met by a nice lady who provided a small drink to keep us going until we ordered. Received 2 menus for our party of 3, the lady brought some additional menus after a short time. We were really complimentary of the staff, even though it had taken 25 mins to give our order for food.

We received our food minus one portion of flatbread, which we told the staff member, unfortunately no one came back to us and it never arrived, however the food was more than enough and we were full with what we had. We were not charged for it though, which was good. The atmosphere was really good all night and the staff were great. However, because we waited so long for our drinks, we were trying to finish them in a hurry, and the security guy came up to us 3 or maybe even 4 times about finishing our drinks, despite having half a pint left each for each of our party of 3 persons, we weren't sitting over our drinks just finishing what we had ordered. This was disappointing, and we felt rushed to finish our drinks (we had 3 drinks each from 20.45). I wouldn't be rushing back...

Cracking little spot that is a must for any fan of great beer, great food, or just great service. Visited here with my wife and we were shown straight to our seats and informed how the place works. Table service only etc. Had barely put arses in seats and we were brought over two complimentary taster glasses of a new brew, which my beer hating wife even loved! I was then brought over a free glass of Cold Brew Guinness as it was my birthday(Still trying to figure out how they knew this though! 😄). Food was delicious. We went for the sharing platter and at €30 it was a bargain. Servings were huge and food was smashing. While paying for the bill, Shane(I think that was him name), asked us what we liked, what we didn’t, and was full of knowledge on the different brews on offer and how they’re produced. Even bringing us over two more free samples before we left. Very well run and would highly...

Fantastic stop! If you don't want to pay thirty euro to enjoy a Guinness "at the source", step around to the opposite side of the block from the tour entrance, climb the stairs, take a seat at the bar (or a table), and enjoy the perfect pint!

All three bartenders were exceptionally friendly and offered advice on my planned itinerary, giving some additional suggestions, and steering me to more local places than what I had planned.

The beer selection is quite nice. Everything you would expect at a Diageo owned pub, and then a few nice surprises. The tap list showed a "coming soon" selection, and I'm sorry I will miss the Pink Gin beer (but hopefully you can enjoy it!).

Pricing was fair, and actually less than some of the other pubs I visited, which was a nice surprise. There is ample bar seating, and indoor and outdoor...
