I came on local's night in the summer for €15 which was a good deal. I enjoyed myself, but it was completely packed! I don't know if there are more people there on local's night or if that's how it always is. It felt challenging to get a drink at the gravity bar, and then there was lnowhere to sit. I wasn't sure if I could take my drink down to another floor, but that would've been the better option. The views are cool at the gravity bar though. I also did the self guided tour and it was interesting, but this isn't a must see to me.
Is it too commercialized? Yes. Another tourist trap you could say... but if you never had a brewery tour, then it's worth visiting. The highlight was at the end, where you go up to their observation lounge for a drink and the view. The view of the city was nice, sit down, relax and enjoy a drink while taking in on the view. If you do go up to the top for the view and the drink, try to book your tour early, as around 11:30am, the place was packed.
I have been here twice and love it! It's such a fun experience especially if you actually want to learn about the delicious beer! We got a hot dog at the little restaraunt inside which was good. The vibes are just cool! Whether you go in the daytime or at night it's still such a cool vibe and amassing views! Staff is always so nice and helpful :)
I know that people have said that this place is "touristy" and "overdone" and, yeah, it totally is and I absolutely LOVED it. I admit I am a total nerd for science museums, fermentation, vintage advertising, contemporary art, historic architecture, and panoramic city views. So yeah - I could have stayed here all day. And we were not even doing the longer tours with the Tasting or the Pour Class. My traveling companions were not as intrigued by ALL the things and we stayed for probably 2 and a half hours including a too-fast imbibing of a pint of the most Guinnessy Guinness I ever did have. I could have easily spent an additional hour or two there if I had had the time. Pro tip: The Gravity Bar is on the seventh floor, and I'm guessing it has that name because you are extremely aware of gravity as you climb the stairs from the fifth floor. There are lifts available, but they are quite full. The entire Gravity Bar is packed, in fact. The view is absolutely stunning...but when trying to consume the second half of the included pint I realized there was probably a better option than standing in a hot crowd, so we did walk down to the fifth floor, where some seating was available. I think a bonus benefit of doing this is that it leaves fewer flights of stairs to wind down to the exit and the gift shop after you have consumed that pint. An even better pro tip might be to just get a half pint. We had talked with some friends from the UK before we came to Dublin. They had said it was amusing to see all the half-finished pints of stout there that the tourists had been unable to finish. So I took that as a challenge, even though of course literally no one was judging me or even cared one bit about this.
Honestly, it feels more like stepping into an immersive experience than a typical brewery tour. It reminded me of a polished, high-quality simulation you'd find at EPCOT. The tour is interactive, thoughtfully designed, and engaging at every level. Each floor builds on the last, blending history, and hands-on elements to understand the brewing processes. The experience is impressive, even if you're not a beer drinker. You must visit the Gravity Bar. The views are absolutely stunning. Sipping a perfectly poured pint while taking in panoramic views of Dublin is the kind of moment that sticks with you. Highly recommended!
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.
So, the Storehouse drew more people than the Eiffel Tower last year. The day we were there, 7,500 people were expected. It's wild. So if you're going to go, book the Connoisseur experience as soon as you've decide that you're going to Dublin. You get the full public experience plus 2 hours or so in a pub setting with a Guinness expert. It's quiet and fun: 16 people maximum. Several different beers to drink, plus s/he answers all your questions. Yes, it's crazy expensive but so much better than the crowds. While a factory tour would be better, this was a fun afternoon.
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!
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.
The Guinness Storehouse is absolutely worth the visit -- a newer, beautifully designed installation that's genuinely impressive from start to finish. It's a self‑guided experience that you move through at your own pace while learning about everything from how the iconic beer is made, to the evolution of its marketing and advertisements, to the history of the Guinness family and brand. It's engaging, modern, and well done. Make sure to stop at the Guinness Academy, where the staff teaches you how to pour the perfect pint (a must‑do). After that, head to the top floor for a 360° view of Dublin and the factory grounds. You also get another pint on the house -- enjoy it with friends while taking in the views. Don't forget to stop at the gift shop on the way down; they have something for everyone. Highly recommend booking a reservation, and the earlier the better. We arrived at 10am on a Wednesday and by the time we left around 12:30pm, the place was absolutely mobbed. A fun, immersive, and well‑run experience. Five stars and an easy recommendation for anyone visiting Dublin.
Super fun interactive brewery tour! Lots of information but lots of ways to consume it. They offer many languages for this self guided tour. Many restaurants (some don't open til 12). Your free pint of Guinness (or soda) at the end of the tour is really just a cherry on top to a really cool experience. And because it is self guided you can move on whenever you're ready. Even if you don't do beer go the tasting room and smell and learn about how the beer should be consumed!
The Guinness Storehouse is a must if you're in the area. I don't really care for beer, but I tried mine with black currant and it was so good! You could easily spend 30 minutes or 4 hours here. It's a beautiful "museum" and easy to navigate. Give yourself a little longer than you think you'll need.
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!
This Guinness tour if the storehouse rivals a Disney experience ! It touches all of your senses with smells, tastes, visuals, and sounds. Great tour with super cool floors to explore and beautiful 7th floor views of Dublin City. We had the Stoutie experience add on and having our pictures on top of our pints 3d printed was pretty cool. The gift shop is a stand out as well. read more
What a wonderful place to enjoy a pint of Guinness! We did the self-guided tour, which included their tasting room experience. This was unlike other brewery tours. The facility is beautiful, with glass, special lighting, art, and modern architecture throughout. We learned about the process of making and marketing the Guinness. The sky view lounge on the top floor is fantastic but gets crowded. We had our pints and shared chairs with friends as we watched the Dublin skyline. The shop on the first floor was epic with a wide selection that you will not see elsewhere. Access is no problem. There are elevators/lifts and wheelchair access throughout. Yes, a few people brought their kids as it is very family-friendly. read more
Really enjoyed this tour. Did the self guided tour with one pint included. Definitely must visit if you're in Dublin. The self guided tour was more than enough. Spent a good 2 hours here just enjoying all the information. The storehouse was crowded so don't expect to have the place to yourself. The bar at the top of the storehouse was such a treat. You had so many amazing views of Dublin. It was surely packed though. People in all corners. Although it was very busy, the staff was very attentive and welcoming. read more
We went to the Guinness Storehouse on St Patrick's Day 2025 and had an amazing time. We booked our tickets in advance directly on their website and they included a pint each for the lowest ticket. You can buy more pints in a few different places, but best to check your options on the website as they have multiple experiences. We had a snack at the pub and it was okay, nothing to rave about. However, there was a band who were absolutely lovely. It was a violinist and guitarist playing Irish songs and some original stuff. They smashed it, we would go back again just for them. I will include a pic of them. The tour was good and the beer was fantastic. They have good deals in the gift shop if you look hard enough. Definitely something to check out when in Dublin. read more
What a lovely day for a Guinness! Spent about 1.5 hours at the storehouse. It's a huge space so make sure you plan accordingly. We ate beforehand, but should have waited and ate at the storehouse. There's a few restaurants inside depending on your price point. The gift shop is also very well stocked. At the top floor you get a Guinness and you are able to drink it anywhere in the storehouse! read more

Fun self guided tour through the process of making Guinness. It ends with a tasting and pint of Guinness. Nice tour! read more
Guinness is 5 floors of experiences all the way up to the Gravity Bar. Guinness, the iconic Irish stout and Harp Beer, was first brewed by Arthur Guinness in 1759. Arthur signed a 9,000-year lease for the St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin, Ireland, for an annual rent of £45. By the 1830s, Guinness was the largest brewery in Ireland, and by 1886, it became a public company. Can you split the G? read more

I first want to say how much I enjoyed this experience! I did think we would be able to see actual Guinness being created and that is not the case. The interactive experience helps show you the ingredients and process to creating Guinness however you do not see the process in real life. The tasting room is like something out of Willy wonka. It is an almost white room with aromas from Guinness and you get a small shot of Guinness to drink in the next room which is an all black room with hand painted portraits. The bar upstairs is fun. With each tour you get a free pint then with the Stoutie you can get your face printed in the foam. The staff was helpful and friendly. Overall was a very lively experience. read more
A fantastic brewery tour!! I've been on a lot of brewery tours and this one is top notch. Very nicely organized into different themed floors to learn everything about brewing from start to finish- the founding history, ingredients, making barrels, barley roasting, marketing/advertising, proper pouring, and of course taste testing! You end with a beautiful tasting of a full pint of whatever you'd like in the gravity bar. A beautiful and creative way to enjoy a brew and probably the best view of Dublin. Do not miss this experience! read more
This is a super fun little activity to do while you're in Dublin, with a tour, interactive displays, and tastings! You first walk in for your tour and get a little rundown of how everything will go (and see the deed for the storehouse that's embedded in the floor). As you traverse through the whole tour, you see Guinness advertising displays from throughout history, which I enjoyed a little extra neat as that's my profession :-) You get to journey through the life of a brew being made, with interactive displays showing the ingredients and process in brewing beer - the hops, the grain, and the steeping, etc. The original Brian Born Harp that you see on every Guinness is also on display, which was super cool! I don't want to spoil all the fun by describing the entire tour play-by-play, but after you've gone through all the floors of interactive displays on the tour, you get to the top of the Store House - The Gravity Bar! Your tour ticket includes a Guinness Draft at The Gravity Bar, and the servers who pour your draft will even tell you how to do the perfect pull. The Gravity Bar is made of all glass, so gives a beautiful sweeping view of Dublin - the best view we had while in Dublin. If you're a big fan of Guinness or just of beer itself, this is a must see/do tour! read more
We enjoyed the Guinness Storehouse for the most part, it came highly recommended and was a great option for something to do indoors (out of the rain). It is obvious that this is a well-planned, money making machine. It is a huge 7-story building with tour buses arriving regularly. There are a lot of crowds, so bring your patience. We arrived almost an hour before our timed entry slot but the attendants were very helpful and let us in. When you enter, there is a place to store you're small luggage or large bags. The tour is self guided, so you can really spend as little or as much time as you want. We were there for about 2 hours and would recommend this as a minimum. If you receive a drink ticket to the Gravity Bar, it is on the top (7th) floor. **Pro tip** Take the elevator (lifts) to the top and grab your "free" beer. Then take the lifts back down and start your tour with a drink in hand. If you finish your drink by the 5th floor then you can stop at the bar, enjoy some live music and give your feet a break. When you get back to the Gravity Bar, spend time observing the 360° view of all of Dublin. Don't be shy asking if someone is leaving if you see that their glasses are empty and you see them standing up to leave. This is how we managed to get 2 tables! read more
If you're a Guinness fan, this is the tour for you. On account of not being much for beer, I booked the basic tour. And that is exactly what it was. For the bulk of the tour, you are in a continuous line of attendees, looking at exhibits and watching videos. Only by paying more do you actually see any part of the brewing process. Very commercialized experience. Drinks at the end in the Gravity Bar is a congested experience. Guinness doesn't, as I'd heard, taste any different here than it does in the states. Views from the bar are fantastic. read more

What a fun experience! This self-guided museum was the perfect mix of interactive, education, and fun installations! I love that you can pick your experiences now (a pint with a picture on it, learning the proper way to pour a pint, and of course, the free pint at the end/top of the museum). read more
Perhaps not a must visit, but do if one has time Also consider the Guiness Off/On tour Yes, Irish Guinness is different from the US version We toured this attraction several years ago - and find it new and improved read more
One of the funnest things we did in Dublin! We honestly thought we would do the tour, grab a pint, and head out- but we ended up staying for over 3 hours. Make sure to reserve a time slot as there were a few people outside the entrance who were trying to walk in but they were booked. My husband and I did the Guinness Academy to pour our own pint as well as the typical tour. The Academy experience was fine, we just got an extra pint and got to sit for a while. The tour is self-guided so you can make it as long or as short as you like. We got a little antsy towards the end so we made it quick to go up to the Gravity Bar. The Gravity Bar was incredible and had a great view of the city. We magically found a place to sit and enjoy our pints. We tried the Lager to break up the stout, but it wasn't our favorite. We ended up with about 4 pints of Guinness throughout and enjoyed them all. Make this a stop on your tour of Dublin! read more
Going to the Guinness storehouse was one of my highlights of my trip to Dublin. You begin the tour by learning about the entire process of what it takes to make Guinness. Then you get to make a couple stops throughout the tour to taste the Guinness and perfect your G splitting skills. At the end of the tour you get to enjoy your last pint on the top floor to enjoy 360 views of Dublin! read more

Went to Guinness for the third time. A lot has changed since 2012. Everything is more virtual and less live guide or with employees wanting to talk to you about the whole fermentation process and the different hues of Guinness you can physically see and taste during your tour there... but now 2025... it's more like read the virtual screens and click through iPads or displays and try to learn or read about it. Not really a fan. No matter how much we love technology. read more

"Irelands most iconic beer" This should absolutely be on your list of places to visit. Don't miss.. All tickets get you: Self-Guided Tour Entry to Guinness Tasting Rooms Entry to Gravity Bar and a pint of Guinness, Guinness On each level you walk though learning about the brewing process and history of Guinness, tasting, advertising, and finally the Gravity bar for some spectacular views of Dublin. They even have a restaurant which I was told you must eat at (wish I knew before). Also make sure you reserve your tickets online and ahead of time they usually tend to be sold out. read more
This is a great tourist destination! I thought the STOUTie experience was well worth it so that I could put a selfie on the pint. The sky bar was also really cool & came with a complimentary pint. I'm not a big Guinness drinker but I definitely think it tastes better here rather than in the US. read more
A "must do" for all tourists that might like beer. Yes, it's a tourist trap, but it's a darn GOOD tourist trap that gives you a ton of "bang" for your buck. We spent about 3 hours here and probably could have stayed alllll day Learn how Guinness is made and the proper way to pour it Then tour the history of Guinness and it's famous advertising campaigns - my favorite is "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" or the toucan. The toucan is great Other fun ways to drink the day away: -Grab a bite to eat -Choose a floor and listen to some live music -Taste the different flavor profiles of Guinness around the world -Get your face on a beer (not kidding) -Enjoy the huge gift shop -Snag a few photos for social media -Take in the expansive view of Dublin from the top floor read more

This place was amazing! You can easily spend half a day here. We started in the beer garden on the top floor, which was absolutely beautiful, drank delicious Guinness and soaked in the views of the city. On a lower floor we went to a cafe where a live band was playing , ate a yummy burger all while we watched traditional Irish dancing. Service was great and everyone was very friendly. Before we left we visited the gift shop and got our names engraved on our Guinness glasses! The store is awesome, highly recommend you stop before you leave. We can't wait to go back next time we're in Dublin! read more

I loved the Guinness storehouse experience from start to end! The design and delivery of the experience helps you learn how they brew the beer as well as the history of the company in an engaging and fun manner. The view from the top of the building where the gravity bar is located is one of the best in the city. Well worth the visit! read more
This place is a must do in Ireland The view from the top is absolutely amazing and there's no better view in all of Dublin. The history is quite captivating and the display of how it's made is amazing. You must do this if you come to Dublin! So worth it! read more
The approach to this place was astounding. I was definitely ready to head inside after I enjoyed the view. My significant other and I stepped inside. We followed the sign that said Purchase Tickets. Walkup Prices for Adult (+18) was €30. That was a bit steep, so I was hoping for a good experience. Attached to my ticket was a Drink Voucher. I was excited to try it. After that, we stopped at the Information counter. We were able to drop off our luggage here, so that was convenient. We were given a card that said Luggage Tag 3. This was a free service and I felt comfortable with it. We waited in line for a bit to be let in. It was fast. We went up an escalator and landed near an employee that told us a bit about Guinness. After that, we started our experience underneath where it said The Journey Begins Here. It was self-guided, so that was nice. I was able to take my time and read a lot about Guinness. We stopped at Cooperage Cafe to see what they had to offer. From the Hot Drinks section, I ordered a Reg Americano for 3.70. I also got a Scone (B) for €4.70. It was ready fast. We found a table to sit down at there. The Americano was pretty good and even better with Brown Sugar added to it. The Scone was crumbly, yet enjoyable. I'm glad I stopped there. My favorite part of Guinness Storehouse was The Tasting Rooms. We waited in a line for it. Luckily, it went by fast. We were led into a room that allowed us to go around and smell different areas. We were given a sample of Guinness to take into the next room. In the next room, we were told some history and then guided on how to taste Guinness. It was an interesting process. I enjoyed my sample. In the Cinema Room, we sat down and watched interesting videos. It was a great way to settle down for a bit. Gravity Bar was laid out nicely and covered a lot of ground. Unfortunately, it was packed there. I claimed my Drink Voucher there for a pint of Guinness. It sure hit the spot. I took it down fairly fast. The views from up there were spectacular. It was almost impossible to not stop at The Store. It was large and had a variety of items. I ended up looking at the Keyrings section and purchased one of the Guinness Keyrings for €7. Besides that, I purchased a Black Gold Brewed In Dublin T for €18. I was pleased with both of the items. We stopped at the Left Luggage counter to retrieve our belongings. I gave the Luggage Tag 3 card we were given at the Information counter and we were given our belongings back. It was simple. The service I received throughout my visit was hospitable. I didn't have any issues. Overall, I had a great experience here. It was a bit pricey, but still worth it. With so many floors to explore, I'm glad I got to experience all of them. I would love to come back someday. Date of visit: 12/09/2024 read more
Honestly seriously disappointed. The tour was self guided which would have been fine if there wasn't LOADS of people. Since there were so many people it was really hard to get to plaques to read and see all the tour had to offer. We had tickets for 4:30pm but got there early and didn't expect to get in we were just trying to get on the wifi to find Roe & Co to kill time but they let us in anyway. That may be one reason why it was so crowded, they didn't care about the ticket times. The escalators only went up, not down, so when we finally got to the sky bar (the only thing worth the tour if you ask me, just for the views, but it was also JAM PACKED) we had to take the stairs all the way down because the line for the elevator (lift) was so long. And for so long people told me that Guinness tastes better right from the source but to be honest it tasted exactly the same as it does from a bar on Long Island all the way across the pond. Save your time and go to Jameson or Roe & Co and take a tour guided tour instead. read more

Of course it is mandatory to visit Guinness factory while visiting! It was a fun learning experience..ingredients and fermentation process, family roots and business formats-structure dating back many years ago with customs and traditions. There is a "college" to learn how to pour beer correctly which is fun. The tasting room allows you to get a tiny taste prior to heading upstairs to have your pint of preferred beer, as there is a 13 (lighter) version while also offering the darker traditional Guinness as well. There is a panoramic view from upstairs which makes it a nice place to have a drink or two, or more, with nice sunlight all throughout from indoors as it is all covered and warm. Great positive experience and highly recommend! read more
This review is from my second visit to the Storehouse, the first being around 10 years ago... and lots has changed. At least that's what my memory suggests. I may have visited during a colder season the last time, but I do not remember it being so crowded. If you get a ticket online and arrive before your ticket time, they may let you in anyway, as they did with me. Self-guided tours are good, because you can go as slowly or quickly as you want. There is a brief briefing right at the start where they'll show you the 9,000 year old lease and talk about the largest pint glass in the world and don't touch this, don't touch that. no murdering, etc. Then you're off on your own. I found that the downstairs portion of the tour/exhibits are the most cluttered and for whatever reason it seems to taper off as you go up to other levels. They at least do crowd control when it comes to the tasting portion; they will put you in long queues and you will go as a bulk group, as the room is small and they have to pour individual glasses. The top floor is when you get your pint. And holy freakin A, people must be alcoholics. People get really pushy towards the end... as if the Guiness factory is going to run out of Guinness or something. Don't expect to get a seat at the top, because they just let people chill there as long as they want, so tables and seats are generally filled and many resorted to sitting on the ground. People will be uncompromising and like hyenas when someone gets up to leave, or bunching up near the bar for a pint. Don't expect sympathy if you're handicapped, either. People were snatching and denying me left and right. I remember liking the tour last time I was on it. A few things were different. The layout. Certainly the crowds. Definitely not as much like a zoo. I remember they poured individual pints at the bar for each person with a voucher, instead of mass pours like they did on this occasion. It wasn't even summer, I can't imagine how horrible it must be then! For sure it wasn't this bad last time. I'd say only do the tour if you really really like Guinness... I'm sure people are going to do it anyway. Don't say I didn't warn you. read more
The Guinness tour is nicely done even for non drinkers. You are taken to see and smell each ingredient, and at the end you get to taste a pint at the Gravity Bar on the top floor with a 360 degree view of the city. Our tour included a dinner at the Brewer's Dining Hall and you guessed it more Guinness! Another one of my favorite part of the tour is there was one floor dedicated to the various Guinness commercial "mascots" over the years and I thought they were all very hilarious. I've seen pictures online where they print a picture of you on the Guinness foam, I just wish my tour included that. Also note that you can get the Guinness potato chips for 2 euro cheaper all over town. read more
If you love Guinness, this is a must. You will learn about the beer making process but you won't see beer being made. Oh well. The exhibits are interesting, the view from the Gravity Bar is fabulous, and the beer is brilliant. Choose one of the add on experiences to the tour to score two pints. Lots of food available but we didn't try it. Well worth doing. read more

This was our last stop on our last day in dublin and it did not disappoint. It's not has informative as the Jameson tour we did earlier in the day, but the Guinness tour has its own charm. You get a free glass of Guinness at the end of the tour up in their gravity bar which was the highlight of the tour for me. There's a beautiful view of the city up at the bar but it was a fight for your life to find an area to sit. We still enjoyed our time here and glad we ended our day with a nice glass of Guinness. read more

We had such a great time at the Guinness Storehouse!! The self guided tour is interesting with lots of photo spots, fun historical pieces, and plenty of info on what makes Guinness, Guinness. We paid for the Stoutie and it was so much fun! I recommend going to the earliest time slot so that the stoutie bar isn't crowded. We were the first people in the stoutie bar, so we got to have our pick of tables and it felt much more personalized. The staff were also super sweet and made us a special second pour each with a special congratulatory message as we were here during our honeymoon. Great experience overall. Only note is that the bar where you use your free drink at is quite warm, so if you're here in winter with all your layers, you will be warm. read more
Well worth the trip! There are so many different interactive experiences as well as photo opportunities. Guinness has outdone themselves, very impressive. I appreciated the many levels of things to do, see and hear. The staff was very informative and full of knowledge. There was so much to learn about the process of what makes a good pint as well as the philanthropy of Mr. Author Guinness. The dining hall was set up beautifully and there was something for everyone. Food for light appetites to the more heartier. Your tour ticket includes a pint that you can have with your meal. I did not care for the burger, it was more of a loaf that was sliced. The stew was amazing; rich Guinness gravy covering hearty chunks of vegetables. The brown bread was equally delicious with REAL butter. To work off the good meal, I decided to take the stairs down to the shopping area. Lots of amazing items and great prices. Something for every budget. Planning on visiting the Guinness Storehouse, take your time and enjoy the experience. It's well worth a trip. read more
You can't visit Dublin without a Tour of the Guinness Storehouse--they won't let you back on the plane to leave the country! This place is on 7 Floors--and you will visit each floor before you reach the 360 degree view Observation Deck Bar where they will serve you a free Guinness Pint with your admission. I told some people after my tour that they should go to the Bar on Top first and have the beer, then come back down and take the Tour because without a Beer the Tour is not that great--kind of boring. It's not a real factory tour like Coor's is in Golden, Colorado. It's a fake factory tour in a building that used to be the factory but set up for tours--the real factory is next door and you can't get in there. The highlight is the Bar on the 7th Floor and it was packed when we were there--no seats in a large double bar area. There are also restaurants on the 5th and 6th floor but I can't see the food here being that great because they only cater to tourists when the tour is open during the day. Go to a real restaurant in Dublin. I found the absolute best fitting Guinness Cap in the Gift Shop. In sum--this a major tourist trap--but if you have not been--you have to go at least one time to say you were there. Can't tell you the number of locals and tour guides that told us the Billions of Euros this place rakes in annually. Easy to walk to from much of Dublin and a required stop on all the On-Off Tour Busses. read more
This is the kind of touristy thing that just has to be done, but is also actually quite enjoyable! We did the GUINNESS STOREHOUSE EXPERIENCE + ROE & CO DISTILLERY combined option for only €45 per person and I can't stress enough how perfect this was! The Guinness storehouse experience was self-guided, and interesting. We enjoyed the tasting experience followed by a free pint in their sky bar with great 360 degree views of Dublin. However, the Roe & Co whiskey tour was one of the highlights of our entire trip! The distillery is just around the corner and our tour guide was fun & engaging. Our group was small and the tour included the history, a tasting and cocktail making experience, finished with another free drink in their bar after the tour. Overall, such a fun experience! read more
