Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Dublin

Neil deserves a raise and promotion. Seriously give this guy employee of the month. He was knowledgeable and tentative. He answered all crazy beer questions I had and kept conversation flowing while serving.

My husband and I visited at 9:30 on a Sunday morning. I would recommend the early slots because as we were leaving there were a lot of people. It is a self guided tour. There are 7 levels. The 6th level is for staff only. Each level is attainable by escalators or elevator. You learn about the ingredients, how Guinness is made, have a tasting, learn about their advertising, can have bottle with your face and name printed on it, and the 7th level is a bar where you get a pint with your ticket and can enjoy a bird's eye view of Dublin. It's amazing! There are bathrooms on every level. As you tour there is visual and auditory entertainment! It was really amazing! I highly recommend to come during your visit to Dublin. There is also a cafe if you want to enjoy a meal during your stay.

Amazing experience, full of historical information, definitely worth a visit.

The Beer is very good and the prices absolutely fair! The service is fantastic. The food is delicious as well, although on the more pricey side. However, the quality of the food is excellent. Altogether a great experience, complementing the Guinness Storehouse well.

Really rather impressed! The drinks paddle we chose was the Brewer's Choice — the sour beer was lovely. The food also, in the meat full platter was really good. Would recommend this whole experience.

It was fun trying some experimental beers! Loved the Sour IPA, never had anything like it! Bartender was friendly, heard us talking about the beers and gave us a little sample in addition to our flight.

June 2025. Great alternative to the Storehouse. No entry fee. Reservations possible online. We had pints only. Prices reasonable and showcase view of the brewery. A number of interesting beer varieties you won't find other places. You can also order flights. You have to try the Nitro Stout - absolutely delicious! Across the street from Roe & Co which I also highly recommend.

We skipped the showroom next door (which was crowded with 6 tour busses full of cruise ship tourists!) And much preferred the vibe and atmosphere here at the craft brewery. We had 4 beers and food (highly recommend the chicken tender bites) with knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff happy to share information or recommendations!

Servers are very friendly and welcoming. Food and beers are delicious.

A very good option to avoid the madness that is the Guinness factory, just around the corner!
