As always, great time with friends - enjoying the Rocktoberfest festivities and then kicking back in their taproom for an early dinner. Great food selections, and as always, great beer selections!

Entrées, appetizers, desserts, and beer are all terrific. Staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. Don't miss the Open Gate chores. We are repeat visitors- worth the 1.25 Hour drive!

Overall, it was fabulous!! Service was a little confusing but everything did come out as ordered! Loved the honey graham ice cream!!

Robert

Hostess provided a relatively quiet table for 8; helped make the evening farewell gathering special. Service was great. Thank you!

Amaya

Loved it! The beer was obviously top notch, the food and service was very good too. Definitely a staple!

Andy

The food is consistently good and the service is exceptional! The video and the audio on the Jumbotron with the football game was clear. My wife and I had a pleasant afternoon.

I love The Taproom at Guinness Open Gate Brewery, but on my most recent visit it fell short of my expectations. Despite having a reservation, the unannounced arrival of a local youth soccer team seemed to throw the entire establishment into disarray. The shrill screaming of young, unsupervised children was apparent throughout our meal. Appetizers were more than 30 minutes to the table after placing our order. After selecting the Saturday special "shepherd's pie" for my entree, 25 minutes after ordering, an unidentified female arrived at our table, declared the dish "didn't meet her taste expectations," and demanded I select another entree as she would not be serving what I ordered. Reluctantly, I did. The food was fine, minus my order, but the speed of service and overall atmosphere was one more of a shoddy kid's birthday party than a prestigious brewery's dining room. Maybe don't allow ANY guests under the age of 18? And be sure your chef can cook the daily special correctly...and the server, in the event they cannot, at least lets the table know what's not available to order upon their arrival? So much love, but also so many basic things that went wrong...do better, Guinness!

We were just in Dublin this past May and sampled many a pint, so wanted to check out the brewery here in the Baltimore area. We tried some new stuff and had a great afternoon just tasting some brews and getting a bite to eat. We will be back to do the tour!!!

The service was horrible. We ordered 4 drinks and a pretzel without issue. We then ordered another round of 4 drinks, 1 pretzel, 2 fish tacos and a double burger (over $100 spent). Everything came out minus the double burger. I was thinking the burger would be coming out shortly. When it didn't I had to flag down a server to find out what was going on. She said they were having a problem with the burgers. After about 49 minutes our guess was finally able to eat (after we had already eaten). Of course the burger came without ketchup, that whole issue took another 15 minutes. What a fiasco! For $100 totally not worth the money! You would have thought since we had already finished our drink by the time our guests food came out, you'd offer to comp drinks...but no. Horrible customer service!

Food was good! Our server Z as he told us to call him was wonderful! We will definitely be coming back!

Kristian

Stopped in with a group of friends, everyone ordered for themselves on the app. This made it easy and enjoyable. We could focus on socializing.

Very clean facility with great service, at the shop, taproom and the brewery tour. Tried a few surprisingly good tropical experimental flavors. The stew was amazing.

Charles

Highly recommend the Tasting tour . The food is unbelievably good and the beer, well you wouldn't be there if you didn't like Guiness. Oysters, Bangers and Mash and Guinness Brownie sundae with whip cream with caramel drizzle. Awesome lineup.

Mary

Celebrated my husband‘s 70th birthday here. His request! I love that there's a quiz to determine what kind of beer you would like best. Also had one of the best burgers I've eaten in a long time! The only suggestion – when placing your online order from your table, specify if you want something as an appetizer. Our gigantic Bavarian pretzel arrived with our meal. Hy-Vee recommended, indefinitely will return.

A definite ... meh. Their draw is the distillery and if all you want is great beer, this is the place to go. But the food is just OK, the ambiance is hard wood, concrete and steel, and they encourage you to use QR codes to order because they don't have enough servers when it gets busy. I'm glad I went, and I love the beer, but probably will not go back. Probably better when it is hot and sunny and you can drink cold beer and nibble on food outside.
