    Great place although food was average, we were told there was a two hour time limit on our table which usually wouldn’t be a problem but the service was so slow it could have become an issue

    The venue is really nice love the open air feel - i gave it ine star for food because we did not eat $21 for six oysters- I get its downtown but come on. Drinks were good but I think its a one and done.

    As soon as we arrived the hostess made a point to tell us there was a 2 hour limit to the table and if we weren’t finished and they needed the table we would have to move . This was news to us as open table makes No mention of this at all. Apparently guiesss management is addressing this with open table. Also if you’ve already gone to the Guinness brewery in Dublin please be aware this is nothing like that. The beef stew served with au jus broth instead of a hearty beef gravy as usual. Salads and burgers were good. Fried cheese curds amazing ! Service was outstanding

    Really enjoyed our trip to the Guinness Factory in Chicago. There is gift shop, coffee shop and dining/bar area. Great ambiance . We went for brunch and the food variety was great. The 5 of us all ordered something different and all enjoyed our meals-don’t pass up the brown bread, too. We had Guinness. Guinness zero and coffee drinks . It wasn’t too crowded but parking is very limited. We will be back.

    Will definitely be back! Great experience with Open Table booking with great communication through messaging as we had a bit of a snaffoo with our travels. The staff at Guinness were outstanding, food was great and the beer and drink selection goes without saying. We were a party of 7 which they accommodated without difficulty. My mom loved the blueberry hopped cider as alternative to beer 😁.

    We participated in the Cocktail Crafting with Pour Souls experience. The description of the experience was misleading and they did not deliver what was promised. We ended up paying $85/person for two Guinness drinks, a very lame crafting instruction, a take home 4-pack of beer but absolutely no food (as was promised). Their idea for “small bites” was popcorn and a check mix. Without any food (as was promised when we signed up) most of us were unable to use our second drink ticket on an empty stomach. So we paid for basically one drink, the class, plus a 4 pack of beer to take home. Is that worth $85? I personally don’t think so. They also told us we’d receive the recipe for the mix we made but they did not provide that either. These type of classes should be led by a charismatic and outgoing person who makes the experience fun. Our instructor was just going thru the motions and seemed annoyed when someone asked him a question. This experience was a huge con!
