Excellent food and service to go with an excellent beer selection. The Far Post Nitro Pub Ale was a welcome surprise. Not the most Irish of experiences in Chicago but it tracks with the Guinness store in Dublin so can't complain.

always do a quick stop-in when in Chicago as we enjoy the environment and the beer. The non alcoholic Guinness is actually impressive. Other unique options on draft too.

Website says they are open, Google says they are open, the door to the building says they are open, but they are not open.

They don’t even stock the classic Guinness pint glass in their shop. This exemplifies the experience, atmosphere, food, etc.

We dined in yesterday and thought the place was beautiful. The host, manager, and the server for the table next to us were so kind . Our server was absent, took his time, and when he came around he did not explain anything about the drinks or the food menu. This was more noticeable to us when the table next to us had a server that explained the holiday flight and talked out the food. We both said we wish we had him as a server. We had to wait around to order our food then wait a while to check out and leave. Didn’t love it enough to go back.

Loved it! The staff was very accommodating as I had to add a few more people to my original reservation. Great food and great service. I will definitely be back!

Excellent beers in a beautiful space. Tasty food as well. The staff is really friendly. The Chicago brewed beers are really good and you can still get the classic Draught Stout and it's so so good.

Facility is far too bright, overly spacious, no music was playing when we were there, ceilings are very high and take away from the atmosphere. Limited bar options. Many of our guests has issues accessing the facility.

What a great restaurant/brewery. Beer was of course good, but the food was excellent and worth the effort to get here, which was easy on public transit.

Fabulous night. Our group tried the special hamburger, beef stew and bangers and mash. All were great. We also tried a special beer and the beer cocktail. The two in our group that had the beer cocktail really liked it! They are not beer people so the cocktail drink version was perfect. To end the night, we did the gingerbread decorating kit. It was fun and tasted great with a Guinness!

Made a reservation for 4. Asked to be seated in the booth when we go there seeing 4 of them were open. Got seated in another room instead. Was rushed when we finished eating even though I ordered another beer and the restaurant was a third of the capacity. I traveled from Arizona and this was a spot we were really looking forward to this visit but it was a big let down. Wings were try. After finishing, we left and noticed the booths were still open.
