I don't understand why is not the most popular brewery in Chicago, the tap list is so varied and the quality is on point. Amir was a good waiter. My fourth time here and I love it, feels like my second home.

I really have mixed feelings on this review. There were parts of the brewery that were really cool, than others where I was disappointed. The decor was beautiful. The huge harp that hangs over the bar looks great. They only serve beer and can pop. The Guinness that is brewed in Ireland not in Chicago is $9.00 a pint. I think the prices are over priced. For starters we got the cheese curds and the Guinness brown bread. They both were very good. The butter that co.es with the bread was fantastic! I got a bacon cheeseburger and french fries. It was good. My husband got the beef stew. He said it was kinda dry. They have a bakery. They sell the brown bread(soda like bread) along with cookies and coffee. They have some really nice Norte Dame and Guinness sweatshirts, but they're so over priced. I think this is a nice place but the cost is not in our budget. As a Chicago local I am glad we went , but sadly I don't see this being a place we would visit regularly due to the prices. Also for parties 5 or more a 20% gratuity is automatically applied. The staff was helpful and friendly. I feel like they're still figuring things out like their menu and beer selection. I would say definitely visit just be mindful of the prices.

A wonderful Guinness experience. Better to make reservations to get a seat, otherwise the wait is very long. Food delicious with extravagant flavors.
Fan items overpriced so keep the focus on the beer ;-)

The Guinness Brewery in Chicago is a bustling hub of beer aficionados and casual drinkers alike, offering an authentic taste of the renowned Irish brew. My visit to this vibrant establishment was a testament to its popularity, as the place was teeming with energy and people.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by the sight of a packed venue, buzzing with lively conversations and the clinking of glasses. Due to the crowd, I found myself seated in the back, in a smaller bar area. This minor setback, however, did not diminish the quality of my experience. The cozy spot provided a more intimate setting, allowing me to savor my drinks in a quieter atmosphere.

The brewery boasts an impressive selection of beers, ranging from classic Guinness stouts to unique, locally-inspired brews. Each beer was a delight to the palate, showcasing the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the Guinness brand.

For those planning a visit, I'd highly recommend making a reservation to secure a table, or arriving early to grab a seat at one of the bars. Despite the crowd, the staff managed to be attentive and efficient, contributing to an overall enjoyable experience.

I am already looking forward to my next visit to the Guinness Brewery in Chicago. Its lively atmosphere, coupled with a fantastic selection of beers, makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a quality pint in the heart of the city.

My friend and I had an amazing time! Christina the manager and the team were so knowledgeable about the whole menu. My friend and I wanted to try everything. Also, I think we did 😉 If you are a Guinness fan or not, this place is worth a stop. Kid friendly, and good vibes! Added bonus, we accidentally met, Rodney Williams, CEO of Belvedere Vodka which made it a trip to remember!! I will definitely come back more than once.

Had a great time! Super reasonable prices for a place that absolutely could overcharge. Great server welcomed us with open arms named Amir.

Can’t wait to bring friends and family back here.

Had a fantastic time at the new Guinness brewery!! The service was top notch, we loved Alexandra, she made the experience so fun! Even though it was busy, she took the time to explain our menu options and was really engaging! I actually LOVED the Guinness stew, my girlfriend really liked the udon dish! And of course, the drinks were top notch! Coming back really soon!

We can say enough about our experience.
The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The building and design was spectacular.

The retail team and greeters were absolutely wonderful.

Pride and excitement were everywhere.

The food... it took us to the moon and back. What appeared on menu as traditional, French toast, Benedict, Irish breakfast, smash burger, cinnamon roll, but hardly traditional of taste and texture.. Every bite left you wanting more.

Our table rang with comments of "Oh my did you taste this, it's out of this world. holy smokes I've never tasted something so delicious.

Every entree was abundant in flavor and texture.

The Guinness pour on every beer was icing on the cake.

Thank you Guinness for coming to Chicago!!!

This artist loft claims to be "always inclusive and always open minded" but when my friend was inquiring as a tenant, they were very selective for spurious reasons. Their justification for declining his inquiry as an artist was that they do not wish to have competing business in the building when they currently have similar businesses. Good luck!

We went to Dayglow coffee for the first time. Creative and tasty coffee options right off the 606 trail…yet there’s parking too :)

The Kimball Arts Center has some incredible spaces and a wonderful community. I was so excited to be a part of it but unfortunately, they don't allow musicians to rent out their space. Will be back for Orkenoy though :)

The drummer, Seth, who plays in Health&Beauty has a space here so this is mostly where we rehearse. Its a great place to rehearse. There is an archery range in this building as well as a boutique dog store and the vending machine has Mountain Dew. One time at the top of the stairs there was a stool with a plate of cookies on it and a sign that said "Please Eat!" So i ate one and it was great. Now every time i walk up the stairs i feel a little spark of hope that at the top there will be a stool with a plate of free cookies, but there never is. I heard they sold this building and everyone is worried that the KAC will be closed and the building turned into condos, but i think they're worried over nothing. Why would anyone want to make condos when they could have an arts center?
