Really enjoyed our trip to the Guinness Factory in Chicago. There is gift shop, coffee shop and dining/bar area. Great ambiance . We went for brunch and the food variety was great. The 5 of us all ordered something different and all enjoyed our meals-don’t pass up the brown bread, too. We had Guinness. Guinness zero and coffee drinks . It wasn’t too crowded but parking is very limited. We will be back.

This is our favorite place in the city for many reasons. The drinks, the food, the look and feel of it, but the number one reason we keep coming back is the people who work at RL. It was a wildly busy evening this last time we came in and while many would have folded, the team went out of their way to take care of us. And that’s what sets this place apart. You’re cared for here. We were listened to and made comfortable. It ended up being a wonderful evening all thanks to obviously the food and drink, but mainly each employee we came in contact with. Come for the lush martinis, the perfect dover sole, the rich wood and dim lights but keep coming back for the people.

Overall good/great. A little on the pricey side for salads and chicken. $20 for a martini - not a full glass is a bit over the top.
