Great experience! The place is lovely and the beer selection is amazing. Beers are rotational, so every time we go to OGB, there’s something new and exciting to try. Arthur’s Last Ale and Antwerpen Stout absolutely delish. Shout out to Marco, Davey and Antonio for the great service! Thank you guys so much for your attention.

The renovation is nice, but I miss the somewhat rugged place it used to be when Open Gate started.

This place has changed for the worse, I have been going to this place since they open years ago and they just renovated it, sadly the food menu has shrank, only finger food now in super tiny portions and more expensive, its not a place to get proper food anymore with good beers, no more guiness burgers, and also the service its not as it used to, now you have to go to the bar and order there , seems they wanna save costs on waiters, increase the price on food and reduce the quality, probably i wont come back

Loved this place…. We were here over 3 hours!!! Sat outside in the sun for a drink before eating, price no different to the rest of Dublin. We then went upstairs for some food… heads up the platters are enormous. We had 2 between 3 of us and could easily have managed with just one. We then moved into the sampling section if the beers and got to try a variety of different things which made a lovely change. The sun was coming down outside and the comfy chairs on the back were just made to sink into and chat the evening away.. as we did. Loved all of it.
