It's a short detour from the main highway and well worth the stop. Wide open spacious bar/dining area with a cute souvenir shop. Lots of character, accentuated by some oak barrels. Superb selection of regular and rotating brews. Easily the best Guinness Draught pours. Also enjoyed the Amber and Irish Red ales. Food is excellent, crabcake a tad salty but the fries and house sauce made up for it. Cassie, Bailey and Claire are totally awesome and made this visit most enjoyable!! read more

If I'm being honest, I was very apprehensive going into this tour but I was completely blown away. The brewery itself is beautiful but our tour guide was so knowledgeable and the taste testing at the end truly highlighted the different styles of Guinness that are out there. It was amazing and I had a great time! read more

Stopped by on a Sunday and very glad we did. Lots of parking and seating indoors and outdoors. I can see that it's a great spot especially in the summer months. They have board games inside and multiple seating areas. The crabcake sandwich with fries , old bay wings, Bavarian pretzel was so good! The house made ketchup was a hit and complimented the fries well. If I'm ever in the area, these would def be my go to. We also tried the hot chicken and waffle, the breakfast Sammie (the hash brown was. AMAZING!) and of course their beers. Being that it was right off I-95 and route 1, it made it a great stop for people on the road. read more

I really enjoyed my time here. The brewery is more than just a restaurant. It's also a cool event space and an overall nice place to just hang out on a nice day. The space is open and bright with huge windows. The food was also good. I had the beef stew and really liked it. The portions were good. I also had a beer flight, which was a nice way to try a few different flavors. The Baltimore Blonde and the Lime flavored one were my favorites. Our waitress was also super nice and helpful. I definitely plan to return with friends/family! read more

We stopped by for a lunch during St. Patrick's Day weekend, because it just felt on theme. The establishment is beautiful and it seemed they had some seasonal installations to celebrate the holiday as well. Plenty of outdoor fire pits and an area for golf. After climbing up a mountain of stairs we made it to the brewery lol. There was just so much going on inside, some people were there just to drink, others for food, and some just to walk around the factory/store areas. While the facility itself is fairly clean, the bathrooms were funky. I'm going to chalk that up to it also being a bar. Our server went missing on us and if it was for Tony, we wouldn't gotten our food or drinks. Shout out to Tony for taking excellent care of us! The heritage burger was a 5/10. The patties were definitely fresh out the freezer--no taste, and the texture was pretty bad. But the side salad as a 10. Im not sure what kind of vinaigrette was used but it was delicious. I'm not the biggest fan of beer but Tony allowed me to taste the shamrock (ginger and lime?) and beermosa (orange and grapefruit?) which were both pretty good. It's nice to know that they cater to people like myself with more custom drinks. I would have ordered a full size drink if it didn't have the beer-like aftertaste. The friend I came with ordered the shepherds fries which I thought was better than the burger, a solid 7/10. I think this place is exclusively for beer lovers. If you don't love beer, I would skip. read more

Guinness Open Gate Brewery - Shepherd's Fries - Breweries Near Me - Halethorpe, Maryland

Such a fun opportunity to enjoy Irish brewed Guinness, local inspired beer and some local/Irish fusion food. Based in a random location in the outskirts of Baltimore, this beer oasis has what you need to feel just a little closer to Ireland. From the fresh Guinness draught to some Irish fusion foods, it has a little something for everyone. Went here on a Saturday and while the tours were full, we were able to enjoy some samplers, pints of Guinness and the quintessential Smith Island Cake with a Guinness infused twist. The cake was delicious and the beer highlights were the Dublin brewed Milk stout and the and the Open Gate Brewed scotch ale. Service at the bar was a bit haphazard and less than Irish standards, but enjoyed it none-the-less. Overall I also found the beers expensive for being at a brewery. read more

We stopped in here after a trip to the National Aquarium in downtown Baltimore. We weren't sure how the accessibility would be since we had a 3 month old in a stroller, but we had no issues at all! There was plenty of parking and lots of outdoor seating for when the weather gets nice;. Inside, there was a private beer tasting going on on the bottom/basement level. We took the elevator upstairs to the dining area and were able to be seated with the stroller right next to the table and a bit out of the way from the restaurant at or the dining area. The menu had lunch and dinner selections with many repeats for both mealtimes. I had the cheeseburger and thought it was great! They also make their own ketchup which I thought was innovative and tasty. The beer selection was large offering both Guinness selections and local craft beers to try. It was a busy weekend, so they were out of some beers that we wanted to try, but the waitress pointed us to some good options. The would visit her again with any sized group. read more

We had driven by this spot quite a few times during our 6 day stay in the area. Decided to finally stop by once we checked out of our hotel. I easily made a rezzie using the OT app. They only offered three flights. The two above and a cocktail one. Since we were at a beer spot, figured we should try the two beer flights. I'm not the biggest beer person, so I preferred the lager one. Lighter beers so easier to drink. Food wise, the fish and chips were delish. The egg rolls were a little too much given the ruben fusion aspect. The stew was a little salty, but a nice big portion. The pretzel was bready chewy comfort. Worth checking out. And easy to made a rezzie last min. REVIEW #3895 read more

Came here because of a West Point student reunion before the Army-Navy game. We ate dinner, and the food took quite a while. You order online, and our food came out in about 20 minutes or more. They delivered most of the Caesar salad but forgot the sauce, so I kept thinking it didn't taste very saucy. My sister's burger still hadn't come out, and when it finally did--about 15 minutes after everyone else's food--they brought my salad sauce too... which explained a lot. That said, the chicken was perfection. My friends got the beef stew and said it was pretty salty but still good. They also ordered the burger and said it was excellent. Unfortunately, the pretzel sauce was terrible. Overall, the food was good, but the staff could be more attentive, like refilling water more often and clearing dirty dishes. It's a nice place with tons of people and plenty of parking, even though it was very busy. Beautiful place by the way! read more

Came here for a tour and had a great experience with our tour guide Jason! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. During the first half of the tour we learned about the production process, the craft beers they make, the history of the building and Guinness marketing in the US. During the second half we enjoyed a tasting. After the tour we went back up to the bar for a beer and oysters, and there was also trivia going on that night. Overall we had a great time and were impressed with everything. We'll definitely come back the next time we're in Baltimore. read more

Did the brewery tour with guided tasting. The tour was interesting and the tasting was great. Jason did a great job. Afterwards we went to the bar and tried some additional beers and had oysters. The oysters were great. The variety of beer styles is amazing and all that we tried were good. This is more of a craft beer place than traditional Guinness. They have the well known Draught available but the beer made on site is all craft beer and the brewers are allowed almost complete free reign to brew anything they want if they think it will sell. Really cool concept to have the resources of a major brewery giving their people creative freedom. read more

Love this place. Great food great drink. Awesome setting. And the staff is fast and efficient.

Delicious food. We had Scotch egg (delish) and the cookie flight with beer - I'm not a beer drinker but the cookies were delish and would pair well with the beer if you like beer flavor Service was attentive. We ordered off the app, which was fine and different waiters came by to just check in on us. Very cool ambiance, the outside of the building had great design and the inside had cool brewery vibes. read more

I was born and raised in Baltimore and was back in town for the weekend. It had been about 5 years since I'd been home, and this was my first time checking out the Open Gate Guinness Brewery. Really cool spot and huge! There's a full restaurant inside and a beer garden outside. I ate inside since I had my daughter with me. The Baltimore Blonde Ale was my favorite, crisp, light, and just easy to drink. The food was solid too. Being back in Baltimore, I had to go with the crab cake sandwich, and it didn't disappoint. Overall, great atmosphere, good food, good beer, and I left full and happy. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Baltimore! read more

Cool place; service was pretty good our waitress was super nice. We all had the fish and chips. The fries were good tho reminded me of Arby's and the fish was decent size tho I expected more of it for the price but I get it's the location. The fish was alright, lacked a lot of flavor not bad tasting just didn't taste like fish at all but was very crispy which I like. Their Guinness was good and so was the shandy read more

Truly so bummed about this bc I've been wanting to go here for years. Off from the start. Initially made a reservation but upon arrival asked about seating was told by host stand to go upstairs and use QR ordering bc the restaurant was busy and very noisy -- got upstairs and bartender says they're closed and not serving anymore after soccer game. Went back down spoke w hosts and DID get a seat (yay). Hosts said we can order thru server or QR. Server only dropped off water and left, so only QR ordering took place here. We got the pretzel and cinnamon bun on first round of ordering and they took a very long time so we ordered the Ruben egg rolls. These came out BEFORE the pretzel or cinnamon bun which was weird. Finally pretzel and cinnamon bun came out. It was very clear they were sitting for quite some time, neither was warm and the pretzel was hard with the cheese crusted over. Very meh. HOWEVER!!!!!! The Ruben egg rolls were 10/10 soooooo delish should've just got that bc the rest of the food was horribly disappointing. Chicken sandwich -- grossly undercooked (customer service (when we got a hold of a server) was fine & chicken was removed from bill) also not hot whatsoever Mortadella Cuban -- subpar sandwich. Chicken tenders -- not edible. Just frozen chicken tendies also alarming and management removed from bill also (thank you again that was very kind) Overall very apparent that food is not being run when it's ready. Everything was lukewarm. Beers were fine. We did get a beer cocktail the shandy one was not great by any means. The Guinness blonde is a classic always good. The galaxy and flow state IPAs were also fine the galaxy better than the flow state. No one ever comes by the see how you're doing or how food tastes only to take dirty plates. Probably would not return unless it's ONLY for beer and the Ruben eggs rolls (PLZ GET THESE). read more

This is a pretty cool place! We went on a Saturday afternoon, so it was pretty busy. You can sit at the bar if there are open seats or wait for a table. We ended up finding some bar seats. Bartenders here were friendly, albeit quite busy so service is a bit slow (understandably). We tried a few different beers and all were pretty good. My bf ordered Irish stew and enjoyed it. I tasted a bite and it was too oniony for me (personal preference), but the beef was tender and plentiful in the stew. There is a lot of outdoor seating in addition to the indoor seating, a merch area, ample parking, and they do tours as well. Overall, it's a bit chaotic and busy, but still a pretty cool place and nice to have close to home. I'll probably return and definitely bring visitors from out of town to check it out and try a tour! read more

Every time we fly in or out of BWI, we usually come here. The first two times, we really loved it and we even did a tour. But the last time I wasn't as impressed. This place is huge! And it's definitely fun to visit but don't have high expectations on the food as it can be hit or miss. The last time we tried the wings and while the flavor and the way they were cooked was great, they were so crazy salty! And trust me--we both are big salt-a-holics. read more

I was always curious to try this place out. I saw the huge sign from driving past a few times so on this day I was able to book a sought of impromptu date for my husband and I. I booked a Beer History tour literally 2hrs before the start of the tour and was so happy it was available. We were able to park on the huge parking lot for free before entering. The entire campus is gorgeous including the extremely large beer garden. Our tour started promptly with a small group which was nice. I learned so much about the beer process including hops, clean water and beer production times. My husband actually asked so many questions during the tour which means he was invested. Our tour guide was great (sorry I forgot his name). We were able to try so many different beer flavors during the tour. After the tour we were definitely hungry so we were able to grab food and eat on the patio. We ordered wings, pretzel with beer cheese (delish) and the burger was the star of the show ~ so good 10/10. Now, I must admit I do not like beer at all even after they gave me so many beer flavors to try. I thought they had some cocktails on the menu but unfortunately they do not. All in All~ this is one of those experiences to definitely try even if you are not a beer lover. My husband & I enjoyed it and you never know what you might learn until you give things a try. read more

What a great experience at the Guinness open Gate Brewery! I'm staying in the area and had to check this place out from all the great reviews. Firstly, due to the size of the venue, parking is extensive. We were able to find parking easily. The brewery has a large sitting outside and inside as well which holds a pretty good size bar area. Due to how hot it was that day, my friend and I opted to sit inside which we were still able to see and hear the sights from outside. It was Friday and they were playing live music so it was great. Food was great! I ordered the wings while my friend ordered the salmon salad. Everything was delicious and came out pretty quickly. I'm not a big Guinness drinker and we ordered an infused cocktail. While it was good, it overall was not for me. Service was great and our waitress was attentive. This place is great for all sizes of people and overall a great time. Def recommend! read more

Just took the tour and tasting with tour guide PIP. We've been on many tours and unfortunately we found this one to not be good. They were extremely condescending when answering questions. They did swear several times which isn't necessarily bad, except for the entire delivery seemed so unpolished and negative. They ripped on the heritage of the building. "I don't know if any of you have had 7&7 lately but they still taste like shit". They ripped on their parent company. They ripped on other major brewers. It was awful. read more

What more can you ask for when you live ten minutes to the only Guinness brewery in America? This is by far our favorite place to visit during all months of the year. It's a great place to gather with friends and their seasonal ales are worth trying out! During the summer they have large picnic tables, Adirondack chairs and lots of turf space. During the winter, you can be seated throughout the building and they accommodate small and large parties. My favorite is they started using the Qr scanner process so it's very easy to split checks, or order from your phone. Be mindful, on a nice day the line can get very long, but their staff is very good about getting people in and out. If you already have someone inside they usually let you walk right i. Lastly, don't miss your chance to try our their seasonal stuff. They post it on their website and Instagram and I've never been disappointed. Definitely a good spot to take visiting tourists or gather with friends! read more

Guinness Open Gate Brewery - Blueberry lime ale - January 22 - Breweries Near Me - Halethorpe, Maryland

Arrived here for late lunch early dinner for my evening flight, and there's a Guinness brewery a couple miles away from the airport. Big open yard with lots of outdoor seating if there's a concert. We ate inside and ordered a couple of drinks around the table. Music was a bit loud for my liking but it kept the others entertained. Server was nice and helpful helping with our selections since we're first timers. I got the Bangers & Mash and others ordered the Beef Stew and surprisingly it wasn't bad. Brown bread is new to me and it felt like a brownie or a pound cake texture yet has a rye bread taste to me. It really meshed well with the sausages and the beef stew. I'd be interested to stop by again and maybe will get a drink I'd be down to enjoy with my food. I'll try the Coffee Stout one day. read more

I've been to Open Gate a few times now and it's always an experience. On this particular visit, I made a reservation on the Open Table app, but opted to saddled up at the bar once I got there. The hostess had no issue accommodating my request. The beer options can be intimidating but menu pretty accurately describes the flavor profiles of each. After perusing the menu, I decided on a raspberry-something ale, which was very well balanced with a touch of sweetness. I paired it with the Reuben Egg Rolls and a Bavarian Pretzel... and another beer. Service was fast and friendly. Oh, I almost forgot about the cookie and beer pairings - four flights and four house made cookies. Everything was absolutely delicious. Lots of free parking and a designated ride share pick-up area. Definitely worth the trip! read more

I think this is our first review to a big name, and I am glad it was Guinness Open Gate. We serendipitously found this place on Yelp while we were looking for late lunch, and we had to visit. The place is huge, with indoor, outdoor, and terrace space for many. They have a store for all things Guinness and a tour from a great tour guide! Because it was hot, we chose to sit inside. We usually prefer a booth, but that was not offered, so I chose a high table. When I saw an empty booth, I asked if I could be switched but the hostess declared it reserved. Oh well. We spent a good 15 minutes waiting for our server, but many employees ignored our request for assistance. I get it, the place was busy, but there were many servers passing us by. Good news! You can order through their de website with ease. So, we did. A few minutes later, our server got our food and my beer. And we asked again if we could get to the empty "reserved" booth and it took a few minutes for our server to help us move. Then, our actual server came by and apologized for the miscommunication, as we got there right at shift switch. Service from then was uncomplicated. For food, we ordered the Guinness brown bread, the 1817 heritage burger and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. I ordered two experimental half pints: the pineapple coconut stout and the blueberry lime ale. Beware because you cannot create your own flight, so half pints may be your only option to try a few experimental or core ales. These experimental brews were nice. The stout had very faint notes of pineapple and coconut; I think the stout ale was overpowering these subtle flavors. The blueberry lime ale was definitely brighter, refreshing with more defined fruity flavors. The brown bread was to die for with thick cut, swear flavor, and very good salty and sweet spreads. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was crispy on the outside but a bit overcooked in the inside. It was definitely not Nashville hot; it was very faintly spicy instead. The heritage burger was a solid good burger with very good bread. For both dishes, the fries were a great side and the ketchup was an amazing in-house! There was no room for dessert. Overall, this visit started a bit rough but once the staff got things cleared and worked out, our experience improved quite a lot. The ease to order and pay on my phone was a good addition. The ability to try a few beers is more complicated than it should, but the half pints can help. The food was good bar food and the ambiance was nice with the addition of the store. We may need to get a tour next time we're here to have the full experience! read more

First time coming to a brewery this size and although I am not a beer drinker I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. First thing I noticed was plenty of parking, and also accessible parking located close to the main entrance. I'm not sure about an elevator though, as there are plenty of steps to walk up to get inside. There's also plenty of outdoor seating, what looked to be firepits and tents. There's a bar area with plenty of seating, some other areas with window seating or seating for two or for scattered throughout. The gift shop and bathrooms also located on the main floor. An upstairs (private events?) and also a downstairs (where beer is brewed). Our bartender let us sample beers, answered all of our questions, and checked in on us frequently. The menu also had a lot of options for non beer drinkers and some with zero proof. Loved that, because it gave me so many options. I didn't end up ordering a drink but I was able to sample some of the lighter beers and actually enjoyed it. I was completely enamored with the pretzel and beer cheese. Was it the best pretzel I've ever had? No. But it could easily feed at least four people, came out nice and hot, and was served with spicy mustard and beer cheese. Several people sitting near us ordered the Reuben egg rolls and mentioned that they were pretty good. Definitely a great experience! Looking forward to coming back for St. Patrick's Day! read more

The tour was awesome and our tour guide shared a lot of cool information At the end we got to try 4 types with 4 ounce pours. If you did a quiz via a qr code you got a card for a specific beer in the bar/restaurant. The choice was given based on your likes. Learned a lot about making beer in this small experimental brewery It used to be a lot larger when bought by Seagrams but Diagio know shrunk it's use. The restaurant was awesome. I got a crabcake sandwich and my wife got salad with giant shrimp. We shared a huge Bavarian pretzel. Also was able to taste beers. read more

For St. Patrick's day weekend, my husband and I have been coming here for 3 years now. Secrets we've learned: - Come early and grab a spot at the inside bar - no matter where you are, if you can grab a table there should be a QR code for you to order from. Do it but expect a good 20 min delay, way better than all the lines tho - the corn beef and Guinness bread is AMAZING (not 100% sure if you can get the corn beef for lunch) - people do dress up, so come accordingly and to live your best life - green beer is not as bright as Kelly green as I would like Great time. I always look forward to visiting the Guinness brewery for St Patrick's day weekend. They always have some consistency but change it up a little and I appreciate that. Also, I think they always get at least $100 out of me for merch every year cause they change it up. Finally, I've been wanting to try their smith island cake as it's a super Maryland thing and decided to take the plunge this year. If you're into chocolate icing and yellow cake, this is for you bby. So glad I got it but deff order their $4 coffee to help cut the sweetness. We did make a reservation and got seated at a high top. Honestly a server never came to us and we were told to also try the QR code. WAY faster to order via the QR. read more

My daughters (10 and 12) and I came here for lunch after dropping my wife off for a flight at BWI (it's just 7 minutes from BWI). So is this place family friendly...Yes. There were families there with kids of varying ages. There is the Beer Garden which is a large outdoor area with picnic tables and umbrellas and the Taproom that is indoor. The Beer Garden and the Taproom have different menus with the Beer Garden being the more limited of the two. Since it was a beautiful day we ate in the Beer Garden. The area was also pet friendly as we saw two families with dogs. You scan the barcode at your table, place your order and they bring the food to your table. The staff there were great. My oldest had the Chicken Tenders + Fries and my youngest and I had the Beer Garden Burger. The portions were a little on the large side for the girls (they don't have a kids menu). Though they enjoyed it they could not finish their food. My burger was really good and I had a little sample of the tenders and they were good also. They have a huge selection of beers but since I was driving I had to stick to lemonade. I had the Guava Tiki Lemonade and my youngest had the Southside lemonade (lime and mint). Inside a dining area (where they serve the Tap Room menu), bar area and gift shop. It's laid out very nicely with lots of Guinness historical info. Overall it was a great experience and I definitely want to go back when I am not the designated driver. read more

This is a great place to unwind and to grab a beer. You will get seated by a hostess is you choose to not sit at the bar. I've been here twice before and thought the food was unexpectedly good. There is a souvenir shop and bottled beer fridge to satisfy your take home needs. When the weather is nicer the outdoor seating is very nice. This visit I'm not doing the tour. The fish and chips have the lightest and flakiest batter. The homemade ketchup has good tang and seasoning. The fries are seasoned to perfection.

We're so lucky to be one of the few cities with access to the guinea experimental brewery! Is a must visit from Baltimore, and is only about 20 minutes outside the city, near BWI. There is plenty of parking available there. I've never tried it myself but I do think ride share would be easy to access if you'd like to avoid driving. Speaking of which, there is so much to try here outside of the traditional Guinness! Besides a tour of the brewery and accompanying history lesson, you can also try over 20 experimental flavors! There are flight options and smaller pours available to maximize the variety. The servers are all very helpful and if you're seated at a table rather than at the bar there is an app that facilitates the ordering very easily. Another aspect of Guinness that I love is that the food here is actually excellent, much better than most "brewery" food! There's a huge outdoor space as well with room for my kids to run around if you're with little ones. They have an outdoor bar and will bring food out to you if that's where you decide to post up. To sum up, do yourself a favor and get to Guinness! read more

Great location to visit, host an event, take a tour, or just hang out on the beautiful grounds listening to music and enjoying some amazing brews. Went on the History Guided Tour which included 4 generous pours and super interesting information on the Guiness family and the brewing process. Had a quick lunch in the restaurant where you can taste any of the beers, including the many experimental flavors. Had an enormous pretzel with beer cheese and a spicy mustard before diving into a Caesar salad with Maryland spiced shrimp on top which were nicely chilled, seasoned and huge! Had a beer mimosa which was a glass of the Baltimore Blonde mixed with a fruit syrup with a variety of fruits- loved it! They have a great store with beer and apparel to take home. read more
