The beer is great. Try the brown bread and beef stew. We had trouble getting our steak cooked correctly on the steak salad. But it's definitely worth a visit for beer and snacks.
Wish they had more seating inside, but a great place for beers and convos. The tour is fun especially when you can head through it with a beer in your hand. Try all the new and old fashion beers at great prices!
I already had dinner but the wife wanted to show me this place.
It was much more than I ever expected. Kids playing, young adults laughing with friends, and old couple (us) stopping for a quick bite and a walk around the beautiful grounds.
This is a great place to come as a single, couple, family, or group.
I highly recommend that you give it a try (and soon) before everyone else discovers it.
Enjoy ;-)
I went to the restaurant warm opening tonight by invitation. I've seen the Guinness building by the road, and thought it was just part of the industrial row with the adjacent buildings. Once you pass through the gates, the interior courtyard is spacious and very modern. The steps leading inside are tall and grand looking. The inside is a mix of cement walls and pillars from the original building construction mixed with modern lighting and decor.
On the walk-in level is the tap room, which was considerably larger than I expected. The staff was very friendly and patient - there was no rush to take an order and serve a beer. Many here-only beers were available. The Black IPA was great.
Upstairs was the restaurant. Service was great, as was the food. Plenty of seating space with modern tables and seating options (rounded couches, table tops, and bar-stools). Food was brought out in a timely manner and prepared to order. Our table had a salad, crisped pork, French Onion soup, burgers, a Delmonico steak, scallops, and an orzo dish - all well done.
I did not expect a "brewery" to have a restaurant I would consider going out to dine, but I will be back. On a side note, the bar serves only Guinness products and not liquor.
This is a fun place with a large outdoor area, a bar serving all types of Guinness brews, a restaurant and a souvenir shop. There was live music outdoors when we came. downstairs you can see the brewing equipment. It’s just overall a good time. No admission. Just pay for what you want to eat, drink or buy. Love it!
