Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Taproom at Guinness Open Gate Brewery offers a "great experience" for gatherings, with a "relaxing atmosphere" and "delicious beer flights." While QR code ordering is efficient, some diners miss personal interaction. The food receives mixed reviews, but the "unique setting" and the brewery tours are highly praised, making it a "must-visit" spot.

We went to the Guinness open gate in Baltimore today to celebrate st Patrick’s day. It’s packed. I used open table over a month ago figuring they may not honor it. They had my table for 8 ready 15 minutes early. They killed it.

Lackluster and expensive. The self order process does not lend itself to any service oriented experience. The few questions we did ask when we found a staff person were met with annoyance. And the prices are unacceptable for the quality of the food and lack of service and ambience. We used to enjoy it, but won’t plan on returning.

My co-worker and I came here to celebrate her birthday. She's been wanting to come here for a long time and she and I weren't disappointed. Our server was very informative and helpful with everything. His suggestions were spot on to our likings. He really knew his stuff. We're planning on coming back with the rest of our crew for a Girlfriends Outing really soon. This is a really great spot to hang out after work or on the weekend.

What a fun night we had touring the brewery and then eating at the Tap Room. The service was outstanding and the food was really delicious. We ordered appetizers and beer that was made on-site. Definitely will return!

Our server was slow to return after taking our drink order. Luckily a manager came by to check on us and took our order.

Not crowded at all on Friday midday. Had an allergy menu ready to share with us. QR code lets you order drinks and food at your own pace and without having to wait for servers. We were checked on many times… since there wasn’t a lot of customers, but a lot of staff. We had meat and cheese board, pretzel and sausage roll. Meat & cheese board was just ok. Others were great. Drinks were awesome- Baltimore blonde and lemon raspberry experimental one were our favs.

The Irish New Year celebration is a great idea and event for the entire family. However, although the band was great, it was too loud for this venue. I would recommend a more refined band or no music at all.
