    Yesterday felt like a foodie fever dream come true! I finally got my hands on the legendary viral @popupbagels from New York —and let me tell you, they live up to the hype. Their Chicago popup @guinnessbrewerychi sold out in less than a minute (!!), but the owner was kind enough to set a few aside for me. And OMG. The chew, the crust, the perfect hit of salt—I’m drooling just thinking about them. Absolute bagel perfection. We tried the Guinness schmear, which I was low-key nervous about (because, full disclosure, I don’t like beer), but it was ridiculously addictive. Like, I would spread it on everything. Now I totally get why people brave the cold for these bagels. Please, PLEASE, bring them to Chicago permanently! PS this @spanx jumpsuit literally is on repeat all spring and fall #SpanxPartner

    Have you been to @guinnessbrewerychi yet?! 🍺 We always try new beers, but this weekend finally tried these spicy Brussels sprouts during their Oktoberfest celebrations. They’re fantastic! 🔥 Thankfully, we didn’t blow away with the crazy wind that blew through Chicago! 💨 What did you do last weekend? 🗓️ #lastfridaynight #oktoberfest #brusselssprouts #spicy #guinness #guinnessopengatebrewery #eatyourveggies #westloopchicago #fultonmarket #chicagolifestyle

    📍 GUINNESS OPEN GATE BEER IN BLOOM SPRING BEER DINNER // Fulton Market, Chicago, IL Did you know @guinnessbrewerychi is now offering beer dinners? We attended their second one ever! We were treated to 4 courses of food + beer pairings PLUS a welcome beer. I recommend trying the Irish Breakfast Tea Amber. Not everyone can do a beer dinner on a Monday, but we did it. It was hard. 😜 Not but in all seriousness, they’re cooking up some lovely dishes for these dinners and when paired with their stellar brews it’s a winning combination. My favorite course was the foie gras brown bread tartine with the corn maize cream ale. Perfection! *chef’s kiss* All 4 of us said we’d do it again. It’s hosted in their back room and you get a glimpse into the inner workings for Guinness Open Gate. Their head chef and head brewer (both ladies! 💪🏻) spoke a bit and enjoyed dinner with us. This night their sous chef made everything. He came out with each course to tell us about the dish’s components and sourcing. It was a great experience and would make an excellent gift if you have a beer lover and foodie in your life. If you want to learn more, check out their website. They’ll host a beer dinner once each month. Sláinte! 🍻 #guinness #beerdinner #foodandbeer #prixfixe #springdinner #chicagobrewery

    St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago with @guinnessbrewerychi 🍀🍀 Still looking for plans today in Chicago for St. Paddy’s day 🍺 If you don’t want to be downtown but still want to partake in festivities, hop over to Guinness Brewery in Fulton Market. They have a FREE block party right outside the brewery today beginning at 11am with access to live music, DJ’s, bands, food, beer, & merch. If you’d rather be inside, they have some time slots available for general admission - it’s $10 and gives you access to the entire brewery with live music as well, beer, beer cocktails, food, a separate tent with a dj & dancing and so much more. The GA tickets also give you access to the block party as well! A fun way to celebrate without the hassle of being downtown 🍀🍀 📍 Guinness Brewery Chicago - 901 W. Kinzie Please drink responsibly 💚 #DMK #GuinnessOGBChicago #stpatricksday #stpatricksdaychicago #thingstodoinchicago #chicagoevents #chicago #21plus

    The food and service was fantastic, a bit pricey, but the atmosphere w/the live Irish music made it memorable. Great place and will look forward to coming back.

    The beer was good, as you would expect. Food was mixed. Cottage pie croquettes were a standout. Fish was good, but issues with what things are served in and getting food to the table quickly. The chips seemed like they sat for a while and weren’t hot or crispy. Cheese curds served in a bowl, so they got mushy. Also didn’t make it to the table hot. Overall disappointed in our first visit for the price. There are a lot of really good restaurants in this area we could have visited.

    All-around experience was way off expectations for a brand like Guinness. Four core misses: 1) food: pretzel cheese was gelatinous + bangers/mash was lukewarm when served; 2) value: $25 for one piece of cod and mushy fries; 3) service: appetizer served with mains & server didn't seem to want to be there; and 4) noise: incredibly loud. Hard pass on a second visit.

    Multiple private events in the bar made it unbearable, dining room was closed for a private event, so not usable - even though our reservation was for it. Food came out lukewarm like it had sat in the window. Service was adequate

    An absolutely amazing dining experience! Highly recommend! The food, atmosphere and overall experience were fantastic, but what really stood out was the exceptional customer service. Some of the best we’ve ever received! We had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to return.

    We were so looking forward to a Guinness and Oyster experience. The staff did the best they could but was set up to fail. (1) the event sold 150 tickets but there were not enough seats prepared, stations often ran out of plates and food (2) The oysters were of poor quality-as slow as they became available after a 30-person deep line-they were completely bland that can’t be help with any amount of sauce (3) one drink ticket for a $85 price, and it was a gose only (who pairs a gose w oysters, other than a way to rid of an unpopular brew? Perhaps cheaper to dispose than ruin brand loyalty?) The poor but very nice bartender was tired of explaining the limitations to every disappointed patron. All said, $300 later -yes we ordered Guinness, remembering where we were- and left disappointed and hungry. We so wish for the venue’s success but we are afraid that it does not know what it wants to be.
