    Super cool self-lead tour. We loved the visual aspect of everything that really was an experience like no other. Try to give yourself at least 2 -3 hours if you want to take your time, have enough time for the rooftop lounge and enough time for any other experience you may do. We chose to do the StouTie experience which is a pint of Guinness with your picture on top. It was sooooo cool. I would recommend that they make the picture purchasable because I would have liked to preserve the picture forever! Store was really big and plenty of things to buy. So glad we did this experience.

    Guinness storehouse is well worth the price of admission. There's all the marketing piece, but when you arrive on the tasting room floor, there is a large hall, where if you stay for a while, there is a 40 minute show. Ours started with a drum lesson (bodran), and then had a live band complete with Irish dancers and and electric harp player. It was great and felt like an Irish experience. Upstairs, the views were fantastic and the food was quite good with ample portions. I felt like it was an excellent experience and I'm surprised they haven't opened one in Las Vegas and Orlando!

    Summary: Highly recommend. If you enjoy Guinness Beer and products or how Arthur Guinness positively impacted the economy and families of Dublin, the tour is worthwhile. Schedule a few hours to get the full effect. When my family and I planned our trip to Ireland and scheduled a stay in Dublin for a few nights, we reserved tickets for the Guinness Storehouse tour. On the day of the tour, we walked past the horse and buggy rides on Bellevue and posed for pictures by the iconic large Guinness Gates, I could feel the anticipation building. Walking inside the main entrance and through the ticket area was relatively sterile and quiet. Once inside the Storehouse, however, sights and sounds abounded. Tours begin at the center and bottom floor of the seven floor, pint-shaped (as in a pint glass) atrium. Although a tour guide kicked off our experience with interesting facts and history, most of the tour was self-guided. A quick summary of the 7 floors: Picture an immersive infomercial (but one you chose), with some cool displays along the way. And, several opportunities to drink the world-famous Guinness Stout. If you like to drink Guinness, all the ticket packages include the drinking room where you are taught how to enjoy a Guinness with a smaller glass and given a coupon for a free pint or non-alcoholic beverage choice on the top floor at the Gravity Bar. We chose the Academy package where we learned how to pour the "Perfect Pint", receive a certificate (of proof of completion), and then enjoyed our beer, complete with a foam mustache. We enjoyed the view and another brew at the Gravity Bar. Food options are available along the way and the big merch area is located on the bottom floor.

    What a blast! We were here on an unforgettable St. Patrick's day. The museum was great, and we loved all of the old ads mixed with 21st century tech. The servers were quick and every one was very friendly.

    If you're a Guinness lover like me then it's only proper you visit the Storehouse in Dublin. I've been twice. It's seven stories of history, nostalgia, and well, beer! This was once the fermentation plant but now it's got the Guinness Academy where you learn to do a proper pour, an experimental pub, gravity bar, food, a gift shop...of course. The first time I went it took me about two hours or so to get through the whole place. Took about an hour the second time because I knew what I wanted to see and do. There are interactive exhibits that help provide history and education on the brewing process, how Guinness started, and so on. I highly suggest purchasing tickets in advance because they get so busy and you don't want to miss out on this extraordinary experience.

    Pints of Guinness

    Admitredly part of the reason I even wanted to visit Ireland+Dublin was due to my love of Guinness. Touring the storehouse did not disappoint! Despite how large the place is, it was easy to find the beginning of the tour and follow along from there. The building is several stories and covers the finest details of the Guinness production from the family to the land, ingredients, and those that work behind the scenes! I enjoyed the marketing section which showed some rather quirky ways that past Guinness advertisements were made. The bar at the end where you can finally have a pint of Guinness is a perfect finale to the rather epic tale. Overall, I was very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend it!

    I know this is super touristy but it's honestly so worth the hype. We easily spent three hours there and probably could have done more. Each floor covered interesting material and despite the number of people we never felt overcrowded. Yes, I paid an extra €8 to drink a pint with my face on it. No, I don't regret it. Great views from the Gravity Bar. Also the merch was surprisingly cheap! A lot of shirts under €30 which I wasn't expecting.

    Such a cool experience! Highly recommend buying tickets in advance especially if you want the Stoutie experience. Tickets were SOLD out for weeks. We were able to get tickets for self guided tours. This place is huge and you can easily spend hours here. Every floor is well labeled. Place is very clean given the amount of tourist that visit. Service is exceptional the staff here are amazing. There are food options and few restaurants for anyone that wants to sit and have a meal. There is also a store where you can purchase merchandise. The tour itself was very educational and not boring as a lot of cool technology is used to educate on the beer process. I am so glad I went here.

    This was a must for us while visiting Ireland! The storehouse/ tour is 7 floors and each floor has something different to offer. There are different ticketing options and we went with the one that offers a selfie option. This was so cute and fun to do. You will learn about the taste, the making, and history of Guinness. The staff was so friendly and even recommended us to one of the best pubs we tried! This was such a cool experience!!

    I fought wanting to come here but was peer pressured by my children who bought the tickets. The tour ended up being a fun experience. It started on the bottom floor and we walked through the different levels showing ingredients, advertising, proper way to taste, etc. then ended on the top floor where we were treated to a pint and a 360 degree panoramic view of the city. The top was packed with it was fairly fast to get a beer, but all of the seats were full.

    A fascinating look at the history of Guinness that includes five floors of exhibits that includes a tasting room and a pint on the seventh floor that overlooks the entire city. The building is the tallest in the city and I believe all of Ireland. It is a tad bit of walking, but you mostly take escalators to get to each floor. The basic tour admission is self guided which will take you 90 minutes to two hours depending on you and your party. There is a large merch store on the first floor. I wouldn't say you have to be a big fan of Guinness to enjoy it, but it certainly helps.

    You cannot come to Dublin and not stop at the Guinness storehouse. It was one of my favorite museums / stops in Dublin likely because not only was this place educational, you'll get some of the best Guinness served right at your fingertips! We definitely pilgrimaged to the Guinness storehouse. From our hotel it was a steep climb but well worth it (you can easily taxi - we were saving our money for beer). I'd highly recommend buying your tickets in advance as it'll be easy in and also my second pro tip is the earlier you can get in the better. Like any museum / major tourist attraction, the later into the day the busier it will get. This is key if you want to hit their bar (which I get to later). The actual Guinness Museum / self paced tour was pretty interesting. We purchased headsets so that we could listen to different speakers talk through our assent of the multifloor museum. Some floors are better than others in my opinion or it depends what you're interested in... I personally loved the floor where they talked about advertising and the famous animal cartoons that have been depicted for Guinness for years, such as the toucan or the turtle. They have an animatronic fish on this floor and I won't tell you the quote but it's one of my favorites ;) you definitely have to go check it out for yourself because it makes me laugh every time. Also, like any good museum I did enjoy their gift shop. They have everything and anything you could think of... It's the perfect shop for beer lovers or just that nostalgic logo that makes for the perfect gifts to take home. I say you get the best selection here but honestly throughout Dublin most gift stores have Guinness memorabilia so don't feel pressured to buy something here, but I will say they had a great store. Another floor that I really liked was the small Guinness sampling room. All guests get a complementary shooter of Guinness. That room has a live staff member who talks you through the Guinness and the pour, it's also fun to all Enjoy the sip together. OK, ending my review strong on why you will want to come early... The top floor leads you to their Guinness gravity bar that overlooks the city of Dublin and has some of the best views you'll get with a pint anywhere. As simple as it was, I'm a sucker for a really good view and a cold beer. I also like that you can come to this bar without having to pay for the museum. You'll wanna get here early though to get a great table by the window and honestly, we sat here for almost 2 hours drinking beer because it was pure perfection. They serve a variety of their beers up top and the staff were very nice. At one point in time they also had Irish dancers come up to do some traditional dances while you sip your beer. This was a 10/10 experience and something you must do on your trip here.

    Definitely a must while in Dublin! It is true that Guinness does taste completely different from what we get in the States. I am usually not a beer drinker but did enjoy a glass of fresh Guinness. It was fun to learn about the history and the process! They have different choices for the tours so you can select what interests you the most. They have a wonderful gift shop with tons of Guinness merchandise!

For centuries, it was the headquarters of English (and eventually British) rule in Ireland. In 1684, a large fire destroyed a large portion of the castle. Instead of matching the original Gothic style, most of it was rebuilt using a Georgian style, similar to what you'd find in the French Palace of Versailles! It's quite the contrast. When you visit Dublin Castle, you can choose to explore it in two ways: with a self-guided tour to the state apartments or with a scheduled guided tour that visits the Viking Excavation, the Chapel Royal, and the State Apartments. When you first enter the courtyard, you'll immediately see the newer Georgian architecture in the neat red brick buildings surrounding the square. From the 13th century to the early 20th century, the castle was under British control. It served from being a royal palace and parliament to a prison. Dublin Castle was eventually handed over to General Michael Collins on the 16th of January in 1922. Collins was a soldier and a politician who lead the Irish people through their fight for Independence Dublin Castle plays a huge role in Ireland's history and a walk around the grounds is time well spent. Today the castle is a government complex and tourist attraction. Stroll through the famous Chester Beatty Library if time permits

It's several stories and a good way to pass the time between dining reservations, movie times, or just a rainy afternoon. The exhibits, of which there are over 10,000, are very old. The pelts on a lot of the animals are faded. A good portion of the animals were hunted, killed in a time when hunting wasn't as much of a hot button item (the museum was opened in 1857). I'm supremely creeped out by taxidermy, and there is an added level of creepiness and existentialism in viewing creatures that died up to 200 years ago. Still, it's a museum. The interest lies in seeing creatures native to Ireland, ones you haven't seen before, and ones you may never see again. It's not the happiest of museums to walk around in if you're sensitive to the plight of wild animals; however, you might just learn something, which I believe is the whole point of a museum.

You learn about the various creatures that once roamed this land and get a glimpse at how much evolution has changed the world.

Bring your family and stop by. It's certainly worth the half hour to at least roam the world inside!

He taught us so much about the history of whiskey, where it originated, and how it's made today. We chose the classic tasting, which included three different whiskeys to sample. One of the most interesting things we learned was how adding just a drop of water can completely change the chemistry and flavor profile of whiskey. The tastings were all very distinct: **Skellig** (my personal favorite) - sweet, rich, and warm with a woodsy aroma and smooth flavor. **Fercullen Falls** (my husband's favorite) - smoky and peppery with a slightly sweet scent, followed by a spicy, woodsy flavor and a light vanilla finish. **Ardara** (not my favorite) - heavily peated and smoky. To me, it smelled like burnt rubber and old tires, with a bitter flavor and strong burnt aftertaste that lingered. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and a great way to learn more about Irish whiskey in a fun and approachable setting. Highly recommend for both whiskey lovers and beginners alike!
