1837 Bar & Brasserie at Guinness Storehouse

1837 Bar & Brasserie was the highlight of our visit to the Guinness Storehouse — honestly, even better than the Storehouse itself. After the sensory overload of the exhibits, this was the perfect place to pause, refocus, and truly enjoy the experience. The atmosphere was calm, refined, and welcoming, and the view was absolutely stunning. Our host, Caitlin, made the experience unforgettable be being incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely accommodating. Service was fast, attentive, and thoughtful without ever feeling rushed. Quite honestly, this was the best customer service experience I’ve had in my life — full stop. At Caitlin’s recommendation, my husband and I ordered the stew, and it did not disappoint. It was hands-down the best stew we’ve ever had. I’ve even tried recreating it back home in Canada — it was good, but it will never be that good. And the chocolate Guinness mousse? Absolutely unreal. Without exaggeration, it was the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten. If you’re visiting the Guinness Storehouse, do not skip 1837 Bar & Brasserie. It elevated our entire visit and turned it into something truly special. We’d go back in a heartbeat.

Really enjoyed our time here dining with a view of the city. If you want to escape the crowd during the Guiness experience, 1837 is definitely the place to go. We were also greeted by some seagulls curiously looking at us dine!

I stopped here for lunch on my way to Dublin, and the experience was truly amazing. The food was delicious, the drinks were refreshing, and the staff were friendly and polite. Sitting by the window and enjoying the view was one of the highlights of the trip. On top of that, the arrival of a friendly seagull made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

We celebrated my friend's 40th birthday here. I made reservations very far in advance. You have to prepay for the reservation. The person outside the storehouse did not understand that we had both reservations and tour tickets, so she tried to send us away until our ticket time, which was 2 hours after our lunch reservation. We finally got someone who understood and let us in. The staff was fantastic. The birthday was fun. Everyone in the party of 6 loved the food. The prices were reasonable. They did not accept a tip on their machine. We had tour tickets for 2 hours later. They give you your drink tickets when you check in, and you dont have to wait for your timeslot. You just go as soon as you are done at the restaurant.

While the food is expensive, it is shown in its quality and taste. This might have been the best thing I ate in all of Ireland. The service was especially friendly and quick.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Tour Worth Taking – The Views Alone Are Worth It I took the tour of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin and ended up getting far more than I expected. While the tour itself was interesting and well presented, the real highlight came at the end — I was lucky enough to catch some of the most breathtaking views of Dublin City from the Gravity Bar. Panoramic sights across the skyline, with a pint in hand — you couldn't ask for a better way to see the city. The whole experience was smooth, well-run, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. If you're in Dublin, don’t miss this. It’s more than just a brewery tour — it’s a window to the heart of the city.

In connection with our visit to Guinness Storehouse, we decided to have our lunch here. It did not disappoint 😁 the food was just delicious and tasty 😁 recommend to visit here for some food. Of course we had a Guinness beer to go along our food 🍺👍

We found Dublin to be an expensive city for eating out (even compared to London prices where we are from) but the prices here were far more reasonable and the food was very tasty - we had the Irish stew and steak Perhaps because they’ve already charged you for the museum ticket! For me the museum experience was fairly average but the views at the top and the restaurant were a really nice way to round off the weekend. All in all I would recommend!

We decided to visit the Guinness Storehouse but we're 100% expecting a tourist trap so we skipped the tour and elected for a restaurant reservation instead. Having the reservation gave us the opportunity to explore the storehouse, which had numerous bars, a large shop and a really nice display of how Guinness is made. Back to the food. This is really pub-style Food, which is what you expect. My husband got a Guinness, of course, and I ordered a Jameson and ginger ale. I'm not much on whiskey and had never heard of J&G but it seems to be popular. It was really good! For appetizers we ordered oysters and wings. Both were good but the wings were a little too sweet for me. We also had a large seagull join us for our entire meal. He sat on the ledge. It was like having paparazzi! I'll post a picture so you can see the crazy character. For our main we decided to share the Guinness beef stew. Glad we did because we were both full and it was a large portion. This was a fun stop and we were able to take our drinks with us to explore the storehouse. We would visit again but glad we didn't do the tour.

Located on the fifth floor of Guinness Storehouse is 1837 Bar & Brasserie where we decided to have lunch after our tour of the brewery. The restaurant is airy with beautiful brick walls & exposed ceiling. From our window seat, we had a fanatic view of Dublin -- & the best part of the afternoon -- a visit from a very cute, very hungry visitor perched on the ledge (see pic.) But, we cannot subsist on incredible experiences & views alone; the food offerings, unfortunately, were middling. Smashed potatoes (€6) weren't as crisp as I was hoping for & were too oily for my liking. Tomato & mozzarella salad (€11.50) was put together about as well as I could've made at home. I didn't try my bf's order of crab with toast (€13.50), prawn flatbread (€18.50), or small order of bbq chicken wings (€10.50) as I didn't get the notion that any dish was worth a taste. Though I wouldn't recommend 1837 Bar & Brasserie for a meal, I can't put a price tag on the precious moments we shared with our avian friend; worth our time & money despite an underwhelming meal!

Our food was incredible unique hot and tasty!! Let's start this out . We were hungry and had our tour booked at 1:00pm we ran out of time to eat and decided to eat before our Guinness tour .. we went into 1837 no reservations. We were seated with the best view of the factory and city ( the views are incredible!) Our server Janelle was friendly and informative. I had the polenta with truffle oil tomato's, mushrooms, spinach, Irish cheese and a poached egg! Holy moly was that full of flavor, texture and hot. My husband had the seafood pie with champ on top with a lovely salad. Every part of this meal was perfect and unique. The manager Colin was lovely too ! We had to share how wonderful our experience was . Cheers

We ate here as a package deal from our bus tour. We only had a selection of a beef or chicken dish, and limited sides. These were served buffet style, and not refilled once empty. Same with the desserts. I missed out, as they only had overcooked chicken and custard left over by the time I was able to get to the serving line. The atmosphere was good at least, and we fed a pigeon from the open window.

Stopped in for a bite to eat during our tour at the Guiness Storehouse. Very nice, well-spaced eatery that offers a nice vista of Dublin if you sit near the window. Lots of choices on the menu and service is orderly and quick. As for the food, very solid, especially the signature Guiness stew. Also ordered the pork belly. Both dishes were flavorful and hearty. Loved the soda bread they serve with every meal.

This place gets 3 stars for location and view Overal the food was average My pork belly was very dry don't recommend I did not like flavor of burgers but they were large Tomato soup was good Good oysters Good wings (small but get a lot) Good waitress was friendly Don't make is take of waking to bar when waiting in table as the bartender very rude in that they are only for table customers You have to go to spot next door which was very nice Overall good for experience but not overly for food

We patiently waited an hour to get into the restaurant, even though there were plenty of seats. After we ordered, we were told the kitchen was backed up and would take 20 minutes. We ordered oysters as an appetizer, which came at the same time as our food. I love oysters, but these were pretty bad. To be on the positive side, the hamburger and fries were good. Also had a beautiful setting in the Guinness warehouse overlooking Dublin. However, I would not recommend.

We were seated next to the window. Outside the window, there was a seagull sitting on the ledge keeping us company. We ordered our drinks first and needed more time to decide on the menu. The waitress forgot about coming back to us though, and I had to flag her down. I didn't have much of an appetite, so I had the toasted sourdough with tomatoes and cheese. It also came with a side salad that didn't suit my taste. Many of the other diners seemed to be enjoying their burgers. The restaurant is a good option if you're at the Guinness Storehouse, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. 1837- The year Guinness and oysters were named the perfect match.

For sure a tourist trap because even if you wanted to only dine in, you have to pay the entry fee. If I remember correctly it's around 35 euros per person. Half a dozen of oysters were roughly 20 euros. For the hefty price, I did not like how small they were or how they weren't thoroughly clean, but they did taste like the sea so I give props for the flavor. Also, not the biggest fan of the sauce that was paired. The burger was pretty solid but lacked some sort of sauce to give it a juicy taste. Wings were mid but the fries were pretty good. Guinness beer was 10/10. Our waitress went on break towards the beginning of our meal and never said anything or had another worker replace her. I'm all for giving employees a break but I just wished we had someone to help us when we needed them. We had to ask some random waitress (after a long wait) to get us our check, some water, and a to go box. The ambiance gives it the extra stars. We were able to sit right by the window so we got a view of Dublin and made friends with the local birds!! Overall pretty cool spot to experience once but wouldn't come back.

We popped in here after our tour around Guinness. We weren't really expecting much, and were we surprised. The food was really delicious. We got seated really quickly, which was great. The staff were super attentive and the food came quick, which was great for a couple of weary tourists. We went for the soup, the chicken wings, and a flatbread obligatory pint of Guinness, obvs. The wings were unreal. Super tasty and sticky. The soup and bread were stuff if my dreams. Creamy, warm and filling. The flat bread was pretty tasty. Not the best I've had, but that was more because the toppings weren't my fave. All in all, I really enjoyed the food and the tour. The view is pretty spectacular also. We made friends with a local seagull while we ate.

I simply had a potato/parm soup with Guiness soda bread. It hit the spot. Our server disappeared after leaving the food, but we just signaled to another wait staff person to pay. The view was lovely, and there were hungry seagulls right on the sill on the 6th floor. I would try this place again as long as I don't have to go through the tour again.

We were doing the Guinness Academy tour, after 4 pints of beer, we thought we need some food and luckily 1837 Bar & Brasserie is right in the building on the 5th floor. We ordered Soup of the day , was tomato basil soup. They served with Dark Rie bread and butter: Good Small plate chicken wings BBQ, it was to die for, I wonder how they cooked the chicken, it was juicy and the bone came out as I took a bite Caprese Ciabatta, equally amazing and tasty. Highly recommend this place if you visit the Guinness Store house.

Guinness beef stew was fantastic. This place had great everything. It's the James Gate Guinness brewery's top culinary offering and they do it right. Everything we ate that day was of high quality made with great local ingredients. If you are visiting the brewery taking the tour I highly recommend snagging a reservation at this place well in advance as it books up daily. You will not be sorry.

Casual setting. All we had was soup with a piece of bread, but it was delicious. And the service was excellent.

Such a great food with matching perfect views! Put 1837 on your radar with some of the best food scenes in Dublin.

Omg so bad. We had an early reservation because of timing after our tour. The place only had a few tables occupied and they placed us in the back of the room. Most of the seats with views were empty so we asked to move, which we did. Got the Guinness beef stew thinking it might be a specialty, tasted like it was from a school cafeteria. I asked our waiter about the windmill visible from our seats. He answered "I've never noticed it," shrugged and left. The window was partly open and a seagull came by and stared us down. We named him "Dublin Brody" after our dog at home due to the same persistent begging technique. Almost made us homesick. He was the best part about this restaurant.

I really hadn't planned on us having lunch inside the Guinness Storehouse. But, given our day started off much later than I had planned, I had to flex. And, given that we had just over an hour to find sustenance, we made the climb to the 5th floor to see what our dining options were. We chose 1837 because it offered table service. The menu seemed decent on first glance (I honestly didn't put too much effort into reading it before getting to our table), and they had the magical stout on tap. I was hopeful that they'd have other yummy beer concoctions on tap, as well, but ended up with a Guinness. Our table was close to a window, but not next to it. I mention that because I wanted to play tourist and stare out the windows, but with other couples occupying the space in front of said windows, I had to be careful. I didn't want them to think I was staring at them or invading their privacy in any way. The views were still nice, but I'm sure the couples seated right next to the windows had a much better view than we did. Our waitress was nice enough and took the time to answer all of our questions (mostly about the beers on tap, and to sympathize with me when I found they no longer serve Kilkenny.) My husband and I shared a small order of the Sticky Guinness Chicken Wings; I ordered the Twice-Cooked Crispy Pork Belly and he ordered the Herb-Crusted Fillet of Cod. I'm fairly certain they gave us a large order of the wings, which I'm eternally grateful for. They were perfectly sticky and sweet, without being too obnoxiously sweet. I couldn't taste the Guinness, but the other flavors blended into the sauce really popped. I don't think it needed the cream sauce that came with it, either. I did enjoy the wings much more than the pork belly, to be honest. While it was a large portion (served on a bed of greens [which is what won me over!], and with potatoes and a couple of sauces), it was way too fatty and soft to be "crispy". I ended up eating the greens (which I think was some sort of cabbage) and most of the potatoes, leaving a majority of the pork on the plate. It just wasn't palatable. My husband, on the other hand, fell in love with his cod dish. The fish was served on top of a small pile of vegetables, and he said that it was perfectly cooked and very tasty. I may have been a bit jealous. It's a good place to sit back and relax for a bit if you've got some time to kill between tours or before leaving the Storehouse. The staff is attentive, and they didn't seem to get overrun by the number of customers in the space.

I would have never thought we would get the meal we did at the Guinness Storehouse. First off the tour was fantastic. Great self-guided tour through the brewing process. After learning and practicing how to pour the perfect pint we worked ourselves to the 5th floor and found the restaurant. I had the Cod, which came with mushrooms and leeks. The flavor we fantastic. The fish wash lightly breaded and herbed. My wife got the Guinness Burger which had great flavor. She potted to add the cheese and bacon which was a great move. My DIL got the Pork Belly which was the size of a fillet. The Pork was cooked perfect and the sauce was great. My son got the Beef and Guinness Stew which had great chunks of beef and vegetables in the generous portion they brought him. We finished, a bit by accident, with some Oysters. They came with a Red Wine Vinegar and Shallot mix along with lemon and lime wedges. Great Oysters! Overall a great meal!

I greatly enjoyed my meal here. I thought it would be overpriced and not so good, given that it is in the Guinness Storehouse. It is a bit pricey, but the food and service were great. I was starving during my Guinness explorations, and 1837 was the perfect place for a bit of respite. It's open with lots of natural light, and I was able to grab a window seat and look out over Dublin. I ordered a lighter Guinness (forget which one--maybe the Blonde), oysters, brown bread, and Irish stew. The beer was great. The oysters were excellent. Very fresh, with minimal brine. Different than what I'm used to, but I loved them. I did not like the brown bread. It was a bit dense for me, but the Irish butter was creamy. The stew was perfect. It was huge, and I was not expecting that. There was plenty of meat and vegetables and it was super flavorful. There's lots to take in at the Storehouse, so I spent quite a bit of time here, and I'm happy that I chose 1837 for my meal.

1837 is located on the 5th floor of the Guinness Storehouse. It is named 1837 for the year that Guinness and oysters were advertised as a perfect pairing. There is a new view of the city from inside the restaurant. Luckily, they allow you bring your pint in from the tour (if for some reason you haven't already finished it while walking upstairs). Naturally, I had to get oysters, since there were old school ads everywhere, and I chose to get a Guinness burger. While it sounded weird at first, the oysters and Guinness did pair well together. Naturally, the Draught Guinness paired well with the Guinness burger. You could subtly taste Guinness in the burger patty, as well as in the sauce (chutney) that was in the burger. It came as a surprise (a pleasant one) when the burger came and it was a double patty, since it did not state as such in the menu. The 3 oysters and burger meal was the perfect amount of food for me.

The restaurant is on the 5th floor of the Guinness storehouse. I would recommend that if you plan on going on the tour of the distillery to definitely stop by this restaurant afterwards. You have to purchase a ticket to be able to go to the restaurant otherwise. Two of the items that made me contemplate purchasing the tickets just so I can go back to the restaurant are the oysters and the beef stew. The oysters were very fresh and flavorful. The beef stew was very good and hearty. Went perfectly with a Guinness. The reason why this did not get a 5 is because the wings we ordered never came out. It actually worked out well since we were full. The Moroccan chicken was ok. There was just a large blob of hummus on it so it wasn't spread evenly. The ice cream bar did not actually have any ice cream. It was chocolate fudge and cake. The cake was dry and the fudge was very tart with the mint sauce. But the view from the window was wonderful. Great view during a nice Sunny day.

Well, went on the tour and had sampled plenty of Guinness. I was in need of something to eat. I almost walked past this place as I am leery of these places within a tourist locale. I generally avoid those gift shop restaurants; however, it drew me in even though I did not check Yelp. I ordered the Guinness Irish stew. It was fantastic and wanted more of it. It had great balance of flavor and ingredients. I also went with the Guinness brownie sundae for dessert. The dessert comes with chocolate sauce (on the side) and it needed it. The Guinness ice cream is bitter - no surprise - and this sauce adds a needed touch. I let the ice cream melt a bit so that it would soak into the brownie. It was a good dessert, but I will not miss it. The Irish stew was awesome and I will miss it. The service was very nice and attentive. I felt welcomed and truly cared for while enjoying lunch. The one critique is that the hostess came off a bit bothered and she tried to place me at a table immediately by the entrance. I was confused by this as the place was rather empty. Ten minutes later the restaurant was filling in and people were in-line outside. I got there just in time and based upon my experience here; I could see why it is a popular stop. I immediately asked for another table and she graciously accommodated me. Funny thing is that this new table ended up being rather wobbly. Oh well. I recommend stopping in and having a bite. The prices are reasonable and the menu has a several options that anyone can find and enjoy.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food here. It is inside the Guinness Storehouse with nice views.

This restaurant is located inside the Guinness Storehouse building and what a great find! There are a couple of restaurants to choose from so you don't have to go anywhere after all the touring and tasting, and with the amount of people going through Guinness Storehouse you'd expect long lines for the restaurants but surprisingly when we came to 1837 Bar & Brasserie they said 5 to 10 minutes for seating (we were a party of 3). Well less then 5 minutes we were seated and were being waited on. So many items to choose from but all 3 of us ordered the Guinness Irish Stew, and then a side order of scotch egg. I was truly amazed at how fast the food came out and it was nice and hot and ready to eat! Our meal was served with brown bread which was tasty as well. The beef in the stew was very tender and flavorful, the stew itself was delicious and you could taste the Guinness in it, and the mash potatoes on top along was just the right touch! The service was excellent, the food was awesome! I definitely was a happy camper! If you get the opportunity to tour the Guinness Storehouse, I recommend you grab a bite to eat at one of their restaurants as you will enjoy a scrumptious meal and will not be disappointed.

Trifecta - Guinness stew, a Guinness @ Guinness. We were starved when we arrived to Guinness. We decided to eat before doing the tour. No wait and no reservation around 2 on a Friday. We had the stew and burger and both were really good. The stew was good, but not the absolute best I have ever had. Same with the burger. Our server, Tony, however was the best. Super friendly and steered us right when we were ordering. I would definitely eat here again. But, as you are required to buy at 25 Euro tour ticket to dine here, I doubt that will ever happen!

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful and has a very nice menu. I had the cheeseburger. BEWARE, it is TWO patties! Once I took the second patty off, the burger was very good, as where the sweet potato fries. Our server was very disinterested in us and borderline rude. NOT the Irish hospitality that we had become used to.

Went for Guinness stew and was not disappointed, most amazing meal. Very filling, easily a shareable dish, although you may not want to. Wonderful views of Dublin from all seats as well. Great date spot during the day.

We were so lucky to get a spot with no reservations. The place was pretty busy. Best​ of all? We got a table right next to one of the big windows, with amazing views of the city. Just breathtaking! What makes that even better? The food! And the service. Our waiter was Tony, he looked Italian, but I could be wrong. Anyway, he was very attentive to us and gave us some recommendations for our beer flight. I can't remember what we order, but I'm sure you can't go wrong. We ordered a burger with fries and the seafood chowder. The soup was thick and very savory. The burger was big and full of flavor. It went down real nicely with our beers. Really nice place to sit down and eat after a tiring self-guided tour through the facility. I highly recommend this place!

Located on the 5th floor of the Guinness Storehouse, this is great for a stop for a bite to eat after you've finished the Storehouse tour. Got there around 3pm and was seated immediately. The server was friendly and attentive and recommended I try the Beef and Guinness Stew (16€) which was their specialty. It was delicious and hearty with LOTS of pieces of tender beef. I don't know if the Guinness actually made a difference but the stew was extremely flavourful and tasted extra beefy. The mashed potatoes on top made stew more creamy and slightly buttery and the vegetables added some fresh flavours to the dish. Paired with a pint of Guinness and I was more than full by the end of this meal.

I too, never thought I would be enjoying a fancy Irish Trout with wilted spinach and mashed potatoes at the Guinness Ale house... but I totally did. They accommodate the wee person with a clean wee chair. Underneath the trout was a delicious Lobster Bisque. AMY our waitress was amazing and gave us some good advice on purchasing sweaters !! :)

Located on the seventh floor of the Guinness Storehouse. This is a classic brasserie and they poor a poor a perfect pint. They get bonus points for the great views of Dublin, ask for a window seat.

I enjoyed lunch at 1837 which is on the 5th Floor of the Guinness Storehouse. The brown bread here is nice. Oysters were just okay. They were not as tasty as I was expecting, but that may just be due to the waters around Ireland/Europe vs. the United States. I had a flight of beers and then Beef & Guinness Stew. The Stew was excellent, really well presented, and a very good sized portion with mashed potatoes. Service here was very friendly and the timing was good, too.

The foot was very good but the service was extremely slow. We waited and waited and had to order bread to carry us over. Love the atmosphere but the service is way to slow to deal with.

Nice place to grab a bite when touring the Guinness Storehouse. The Guinness was obviously spectacular and we all had some small bites that were well prepared. The oysters were delicious, extremely fresh and briny which pairs well with Guinness. It was meant to be! We also had the wings which were tasty, well sauced and had nice curry kick. My son had the pizza/flatbread thing which he really enjoyed and my wife had soup that she liked as well. Guinness bread for the table is highly recommended. Service was very slow but very polite. Killer views from around the restaurant...highly recommended to make this a part of your tour.

Great food, great service, great beer. We didn't have reservations. But they made room for us two after our tour.

Great beef stew! Just what we were looking for. Amy was a great server! She made our lunch enjoyable and gave us helpful information on visiting the city! Thanks for the experience!

This restaurant is located on the 5th floor of the Guinness Storehouse and you can only eat here if you go through the tour. We had a group of 9 and were seated quickly in a nice section and had great service that was very attentive. My husband and I had one of the flatbreads and he also had the Guinness beef stew, which was absolutely delicious. The food was everything we expected and we really enjoyed ourselve.

Tasty place to stop for lunch as you brew the Guinness storehouse. Could use one or two more staff during rush hour but everyone is friendly and the Guinness and beef stew was tasty enough to make you almost forgot someone brought their plague child to the next table. Also, the foreign extra stout is delish!

Excellent food and again the Guinness was on point. I had the oysters and they were as fresh as they come. Come visit lads.

I finished my tour of the Guinness Storehouse a few minutes before this restaurant opened and decided to wait in order to eat lunch. I'm very glad that I did! As I was there right as it opened, I was quickly seated at a table without a problem. I found the environment to be very relaxing after all the people and sights of the experience itself. I had Tony as a waiter and found the service to be very attentive. I ordered the mushroom toast, which I would highly recommend! Although it's called a small plate, it would easily be enough for someone who wasn't too hungry or could be split as an appetizer. The plate came with two pieces of toasted sourdough bread with a huge mound of delicious roasted mushrooms topped by a lovely little rocket salad with Parmesan and a light dressing. This toast was my favorite part of the meal. As I was hungry when I sat, I also ordered the burger. This was too much food and after I had the toast I found myself wishing I had just ordered a second small plate instead. However, I thought the burger was good. It was cooked well and had nice flavor. Overall, a lovely experience! I would highly recommend for those that are in the Storehouse over a mealtime.

I was expecting the food to be really good. Now the oysters were quite good, but the burger was disappointing. I took only a few bites and didn't finish the rest. Maybe that's ireland? Burned patties? :/ I tend to like a medium burger, really it was closer to McDonalds, but at least you know what to expect there. The other food is probably better, but I wouldn't recommend the burger

An unexpectedly delicious lunch within the Guinness storehouse! Usually, museum restaurants are average, but the food here is stellar. I had a delicious seared mackerel with heirloom tomato salad, fresh baked brown bread, and chips. And it's actually not that expensive for what you get. However, be careful if you are not an alcohol drinker... They charged me two euros for a glass of seltzer!

Had a lovely experience in the 1837 BRASSERIE yesterday thanks to a lovely lady called Emma who was so very pleasant and helpful.....thank you Emma.
