We had a great experience! We were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary and the chef and staff sent a special dessert to our table to celebrate. All the beer and good was amazing. After enjoying lunch in the tap room we did the self guided tour and visited the gift shop and had another beer in the beer garden outside. The whole experience was great. We will go back. Parking was easy and plentiful.
I would've much rather them tell us that they can't take us rather than constantly coming up to our table rushing us and literally asking “you're leaving right?” When we all had beers left. I'd never go back here.
Made a reservation for 3:45 but we're seated early. Food was very delicious and hot. The beer variety was plenty and had something for everyone. We didn't make a reservation for a tour but we asked a server if they could accommodate us and they did. We all enjoyed the tour and the brewery and plan to be back again.
Don't like the order from your phone menu. It's impersonal and kind of a pain. Beer was great. Good was great. Seafood tower not worth the money. Burger was overdone but the other 5 guests loved their meals.

I discovered this place while just playing around on Google Maps. I had no idea this place existed and decided to surprise my wife. We took a 7 hour drive to go to another favorite place and check out this one. Having been to the Guinness factory in Dublin, we both loved this one more. That one might be the OG, but this one is better in all aspects. The prices are reasonable, the variety is good, the place is HUGE and newly built, and all the staff were very friendly. You can order beer by a variety of sizes, by a flight, or my half pints. We decided to get them by a lot of half pints, just so we could try a variety of flavors which weren't included in their regular flight. I am also a fan of the ordering process in which you order the food on your phone and it is brought out to you. We loved it so much that we have planned to do another 7 hour drive in the next couple of weeks.

We took a brewery tour, brewing focus, and it was really interesting and fun. Our tour guide, Brian, was very knowledgeable and personable. The tasting was fun at the end, and we also ended up staying and getting dinner before leaving. We'll definitely be back, and we'd like to do the history-focused tour next time.

Drinks were great, food was a little pricey but overall a great place to visit on a good (outdoors) day with family and friends.

Love this place - very large but comfortable and inviting space with tons of excellent outside space and two large areas inside. Big booths, hi-tops and tables and a big round bar.Service is extremely quick with all orders (food and beer) entered electronically. And the beer - good selection of 12 or 15 craft brews - samples readily provided and several flight choices.Fries are unique and Irish dishes are a menu specialty. Might note that most of the food is on the spicy side; even the crab cake.Despite the fact that it was originally a Brewery the venue is very friendly to kids. Free games are provided in an unmonitored shelf. Note the children in the picture enjoying a game.Overall a high recommendation.

Quality food and outstanding Guinness beer on tap. High end brewery on the east coast, conveniently located near Baltimore, Maryland! Highly recommend!

You don't have to like Guinness but you will like everything that GOGB has to offer! Try a tasting tour and see for yourself.
One of the best breweries I have visited. I wasn't a huge fan of Guinness until I did the tour and now I am. If you can get Cheryl Lerner as a tour guide I would highly recommend it!!

Great place. Great Food. Great Beverages. Great Ambiance. Horrible Service In the sit down restaurant portion. The mobile app ordering is horrible and you get no attentive service are your table. The point of going to a restaurant is to get food and the service that comes with the meal arriving. You cannot ask questions about the menu you cannot ask for recommendations. You cannot ask about the beverages and be informed by a well trained server. If you are novice connoisseur of fine Irish beverages and want to be informed by your server on selections.... don't expect it here. Additionally if you would like a glass of water or to go box be prepared to get out of you seat and hunt someone down to help you. And timing is everything in a restaurant... they don't even tell you that they will bring out your appetizers the same time as they bring out the main course. Who does that? We ate our appetizers and main course at the same time... quickly so as to not let our main course get cold. Service is so bad that they don't even take your appetizer plates away when they bring you your main course. We had to ask that they take away our appetizer plates when they brought our main dishes and they seemed peeved about it. The food and beverage were good nonetheless and no complaints on that end. I would go back because it's a fun unique place but the service is horrrrrrrrible! And it takes away from the experience. And you cant pay with cash... so how would you split a bill with a friend or group? What a sad app and way of ordering food at a restaurant. Maybe this is the trend to rid people of great service experiences with great food and drink. Weird.

I would recommend the french fries, and the Guinness. The blonde Guinness was really good! I also would steer clear of this stew, it was cold and gloopy.

Very good food, had the crab cake sandwich and devoured it. However, in my pomegranate pear lemonade there was a pink hair and a crab shell piece in the crab cake. Otherwise, very good.

My husband has been wanting to visit this brewery for years and we finally made it happen for his birthday! We first had the Baltimore Blonde years ago when we found it at our local grocery store in central Virginia and loved it…but we haven’t been able to find it since that summer and it was so great to have it again! It was as good as we remembered and the other beers we tried here were also delicious. The food was also exceptional…I’ve found that food at breweries can often leave something to be desired but that wasn’t the case here at all. The Hot Chicken sandwich was fantastic and the barrel fries were seriously some of the best fries ever!
