Guinness Pub

This is not a bad airport «pub.» While there are not many food options, they have a few specialty cocktails, a full bar, and a couple of beers on draft. Service was good and the bartender was attentive during my visit. I’d come back for the spicy Bloody Mary only. He did really well with that! I wish they offered more food. Did I say that already? :-(

Don’t even chance it. The pub was uncomfortably warm, the bartenders were slow and listless, and the $ 9 draft beers were flat (seriously, the Guinness and Smithwicks were utterly tasteless). Bad all around. Go anywhere but here.

I continue to HATE this place. Worst service of all time!!! Newark airport… PLEASE do something with this!!!

Draft beers are $ 9. NOTHING on their food menu is Irish. Their menu is quite proud of their «Traditional Irish Reuben Sandwich!» When I walked in and sat at a table, the woman behind the counter just ignored me. No «can I get you anything,» no «you need to order at the bar,» just straight up ignored me (and there were only about 8 people in the place). After about 15 minutes of being ignored while she didn’t do anything, I walked out.

Very nice and friendly atmosphere for an airport bar. Only downfall is that the wine is pricey, but hey what can you expect? It’s an airport bar.

Not a bad place to stop off for a pint after or before a good flight, but not much different from the other bars within the airport. I was hoping for more I guess, not really sure why since you don’t see many Irish in sunny places lol.

tl/​dr; this is one of the worst airport bars I have been to outside of Liberia
The tables were not clean.
The bar stools were wobbly — I tried four different ones and none of them were stable.
The bartender was rude.
I had to point out in the crowd whom I was drinking with since I had the audacity as a person in their late 20s/​early 30s to order two drinks at a time. That’s never happened to me in sixteen+ years of ordering drinks at both reputable and disreputable watering holes around the world. I would like to know what even the policy behind this is — do two watered-​down airport beers at $ 9 a pop really get people so out of control it becomes a problem? Was it something else like I had a stupid haircut or hadn’t shaved because of sitting shiva? Or was the bartender just a miserable beer wench unhappy with the choices she had made in life? I think that one. Outstanding customer service there, guy.
If you’re in terminal C go somewhere else for a beer. There are several other options and they are all a much better investment of time and energy if you are in need of a $ 9 airport drink before you get on the plane.

My first airport irish pub. Got there kind of late. Just from the layout it is very intimate and peaceful place where you can enjoy a great beer and get some relaxtion. If I had the chance to come back I would definitely eat and drink beer to relax and unwind.

Cheddar = American cheese and attitudes are terrible. Yes, I’m sorry, I am an idiot for expecting whats on the menu and nothing more (ie they haven’t had coleslaw since the menu was printed and oh, no side either). Only go for drinks, keep searching for food

It was really hot in this pub when I was here. Not sure who controls the temperature but I shouldn’t be sweating when I’m sitting drinking a beer inside. Several other folks also mentioned it.
Beer is very expensive here — $ 9 each. Pretty shoddy selection as well as they only have five taps.
I didn’t dare try the food as it appears to all be prepackaged, but they do have bags of chips that you can purchase as well.
There are a few TVs so you can catch a game while you wait for your flight.

Pretty terrible.

Over 8 $ for a pint of Guinness? These prices are out of whack. At other airports, you can get local microbrewed beer for 6 $ a pint. O’Hare has Berghoff Café which serves awesome local beer and it only costs a hair over 6 $.
So much for these airport locations claiming to charge ‘normal area prices’. Whatever… complete bull.

If you have a long layover and wanna watch TV or free internet or have a drink or eat some food in the terminal then this is a good place for u. again as with all restaurants in Airports it is pricey compared to those outside

I would have never known they don’t serve the tables in here, until I asked the bartender. Also, they didn’t have Baileys Irish Coffee at 11 am. If the Guinness company owns this they should be embarrassed. One last point, I have the Guinness App. And it’s not even listed!

Stopped in for a beer and a sandwich. Place is ok for the airport seen

High prices? Small menu? Slow service? Indifferent staff? Can’t wait to leave? Slow with the tab? Do yourself a favor and avoid. Bad even for the Newark airport.

Even though this place is NOT an authentic irish pub, I was impressed because the bartenders actually knew how to properly pour a Guinness. (if you drink Guinness a lot you know what I’m talking about) I gave them props for that because most bars I’ve gone to don’t ever do that.
I thought the food was a little disappointing. Everything is pre made so you can’t make any substitutions.
The presentation is horrible. I ordered the corned beef & Swiss sandwich and it came on a small plate with a mustard and thousand island packet. The cole slaw came in a small plastic container and tasted like KFC cole slaw. Not to say that I have anything against KFC, because I have no problem with the colonel! Just expected a higher class taste from this place. Also, the pickles were soggy, not crunchy and crisp.

Stopped in for a drink during my delay on December 26^th, 2011 — and quickly found a seat at the bar. Bartender, who was an african american gentleman in his 30’s was working hard but just couldn’t handle the crowds.
After sitting down at the bar — I waited patiently and at some point had to yell over to the bartender to get his attention after 12 minutes so I could place an order. A minute or two later, a Guiness Draft appeared for the price of $ 9.10. Most people walk up and order from a line at the bar — however, the bar patrons need to wait to the bartender comes over to them.
Overall, I wish they had two bartenders at this bar.

It’s a crime to have «Guinness» in the title of this hell hole. Surly staff, sticky counters, and overpriced drinks. Hooray.

This establishment is an Irish pub in name only. They do have Smithwick’s, Harp and Guinness on tap (along with Bud Light), but the food and the service were both disappointing.
They had several «traditional Irish food» items listed on the menu. The reuben sandwich sounded really great judging from the description, so I ordered one. To my surprise, the server walked over to the lighted cooler at the entrance of the place where they have all of the «grab and go» pre-​wrapped sandwiches and salads, she grabbed a pre-​made, pre-​wrapped reuben sandwich off one of the shelves, she peeled the cellophane off of it, stuck it in a sandwich press for a few minutes and served it to me on a flimsy black plastic disposable plate with a small container of cole slaw and packets of mustard and thousand island dressing. The sandwich was disappointing to say the least, and definitely nothing as tasty as the description on the menu made it out to be.
One can belly up to the bar, there’s some counter seating at the windows overlooking the tarmac and several tables for 2, but no table service or waitress, so if you do want food or drinks, you must order them at the bar, then if you wish to use the seating, you must schlep your food/​drinks and your bags to your table.
From the outside this place looks really inviting and a bit unique when one is used to seeing the same Mickey D’s, BK and Sbarro in every airport. However, once inside, you’re faced with mediocre service and food that’s way below par.
