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 was an amazing place, but you really have to go with someone fun. 11 Euro for students, so I was happy. The Guinness here really, really, does taste different then it does in the pubs. The barley is much heavier in flavor, and there is a tad more smokiness to it, and the finish is smoother and almost like water. If you've ever eaten pop-corn kernels, its flavor is somewhat associated with that. The Gravity Bar is awesome, thought the foreign tourists are pushy. A couple guys were picking up other people have drunk glasses and drinking what was left - GROSS!!! read more
Note: all my recent vacation in Ireland Yelp reviews will have the same 1st paragraph preamble, for just the review itself skip to the 2nd paragraph. On a whirlwind 2 week vacation to Ireland, the girlfriend & I tried to see & experience absolutely as much of this incredible land as we could. We did not accomplish every last activity we wished we could have on our rather ambitious itinerary. Nonetheless, we did discover a land of numerous stunning & magical wonders. We did see a land of unending natural beauty. We did learn of a land with a monumentally long history of trials, tragedies & triumphs. We did get to meet many kind, humorous, warm & generous people. Our vacation to Ireland was just 2 weeks, but that was time enough to know this is a land easy to love & a land to be sorely missed. Of course I love Guiness! Of course being in Dublin undeniably meant going to the birthplace of this heavenly nectar. So it was on a fine, sunny afternoon that the girlfriend & I made our way to Guinness Storehouse. After shelling out a hefty €15 for each adult ticket, which is typical for a tourist trap of this magnitude, we were on our way up to the glorious glass & steel temple that Guinness has built. Aptly named the Guinness Storehouse, there are no tours or observation of any operational areas involved in the actual brewing of Guinness. Instead, there is a self-guided tour of a modern, interactive museum of sorts spanning several floors & filled with exhibits describing & displaying the process by which Guinness is made. While all of it was impressively entertaining enough, I do like actual brewery tours. Being a biochemist at a major biotech company, seeing working fermenters is interesting, but probably more so for me than most other people. At the very top is the real payoff, a pint of Guinness in the Gravity Bar. The pint is included in the ticket price & the all-around views of Dublin are quite nice. This raised vantage point is also useful for seeing where other sights throughout Dublin are in relation to each other & for planning future sightseeing. Certain sights are even noted in writing on the windows. For any fans of Guinness who find their way to Dublin, a stop in at the Guinness Storehouse is a must. This was where it all began centuries ago & still goes on today. There is no brewery tour. In its place is a very polished, commercial & extravagant tribute to the beer & brand. There is fun to be had here, but contemplating the many sights of Dublin over a pint of Guinness up in the Gravity Bar is really where it's at. read more
Returned to Guinness Storehouse for the familiar self-guided tour. This time, participated in pouring my own "Perfect Pint" on the fourth floor. Upon completion, you are an official Guinness Ambassador with diploma to match (see photo). You can then head to Gravity Bar with your pint. Tip: As a huge tourist attraction, suggest getting there early morning. Destination is walkable from City Centre, or take one of the double-decker buses that stop nearby. If you think this updated review with new photos is useful, funny or cool, I'd appreciate your feedback below. read more

This tour takes a while to do. It's really long but I guess it's good that you get your moneys worth. It is provides information on the process of brewing Guinness beer and all of the other parts of the business such as advertising. At the end, you get a glass of beer which is always nice. When you get to the top, seating is very hard to find but you can always do what I did and walk around to check out the views of the city (which were very nice from up there by the way). read more
I wish I could give this place six stars! It easily worthy of it! If you have every hoisted a pint of Guinness; this place is essential. They real treat is the end of the tour when you get your pint. James and I were favored by Loraine who offered us another round because we were such great customers. Go to the 7th floor and enjoy the 360 degree view; it's amazing! read more

Went here for our Honeymoon as our last stop before we left Ireland. We are sooo glad we did. I read a lot of other people's reviews and it should be noted that this place is what you make of it (see below). We got rather lucky before we left and online I found what Guinness calls the "connoisseur experience". (As of this moment, they are only offering this experience to people on-line) This experience is a little pricey but VERY well worth it. For an extra 50 Euro (each) you get a private (hour to hour and a half) tasting with a brew master who explains all the ins and outs of Guinness. The setting was intimate and shared with a few people. What's epic is the taps that are served in this special room are cleaned and sterilized daily. A whole lot goes into what is considered a true Guinness pour. If you are a beer snob (yes I admit it), it's mandatory that you go here... or else you'll lose your beer privileges... well maybe not but I assure you the difference between doing the expected self tour and this is night and day. If you're wondering, yes you get free drinks (you pour them yourself - CORRECTLY)... quite a few actually... =) After the experience we then started to walk the facility and do the self-tour. What was interesting was the we learned everything that each floor showed us and WAY, way more. We were both very happy that we did what we did as the store only shows the tip of the iceberg behind everything. The tour is "nice" but if you want to really take in what Guinness is about, do the connoisseur experience. As I mentioned earlier in this review, it is what you make of it. I can see how some people had mediocre reviews of the facility as if we were just left to the self-guided tour, this review would've probably been a 3 or 4. Regarding the facility itself, there are food places near the top which serve very good food and make this place a one-stop shop for food, drinks, and a bar (very top). Be sure to bring your camera if you go here as the view of Dublin is just amazing. Overall, I had an amazing experience here but that's because we chose to take the extra step and see everything this place had to offer. PS - once you learn the correct pour from the tour, get another free one from one of the other floors and cringe when you see the pours.. =) read more

We had an outstanding time. Did the connoisseur experience with Colm who did a great job taking us through the history and our tasting experience. Then showed us how to properly pour the perfect pint. read more

What a fabulous tour we had. Then as a really special end of our tour we did the 1.5 hour connoisseur tasting. Amazing. The room only holds 16 people. Brian was fantastic as our guide for this experience. Would definitely do it again. Well done me Guinness. You can't go to Dublin without a visit to the Guinness storehouse read more

When I came here, I was not a big fan of Guinness. After leaving, I have grown to love this delicious beer and it's rich history. The museum costs something like $20, and is self guided. You'll navigate several floors of various Guinness related memorabilia or Guinness fun facts. The space is open and modern and easy to navigate. I'd plan on spending 30-60 minutes on the actual tour. Towards the end of the tour, you have an option of doing a Guinness tasting where you get to smell various parts that make a Guinness taste exactly as it does. Honestly, this was super interesting, as the 4 smells you get to interact with actually do prominently appear in the beer! You also get a voucher at the beginning of the tour for a free pint. Take this and learn to pour your own pint of Guinness. The wait on a busy Saturday was about 15 minutes for me, so it should definitely be manageable. At the end, you get a certificate showing that you know how to pour a proper pint. Once you have your pint, head up to the top floor and enjoy the view of Dublin! read more
An absolute must! Even if you aren't a Guinness, or even a beer fan for that matter, the Guinness Storehouse is so well done and fascinating. As a visitor to Dublin, you will learn so much about the history and how Guinness truly shaped the city and country for that matter. Pay the extra few bucks for the "skip the line" tickets because when the weather is nice, the line can be hours long. You won't regret a visit! read more

This place is bustling and crowded - undermining the overall experience. The views from the top bar are fantastic and the food prices are reasonable, but I would definitely recommend avoiding the place on the weekends if you actually want to enjoy all the exhibits. read more

A museum/brewery/gift shop with a tour for 10 Euro that culminates with a free pint of Guinness? How do you turn that down? Believe it or not, we kinda did! Upon arrival at this fabulous location of happiness, my friends and I bypassed the entire tour and spent two hours in the gift shop. Purchases included: a pair of Guinness slippers (replaced last summer, because they're not the most durable things), a Guinness apron, and a set of Guinness coasters. Also cute were the christmas tree lights, pyjama sets, and piggy bank. read more
1759--Arthur Guinness, just 34 years old...a faithful servant of God, a man who built up his dream, armed with a deep social conscience....you think I'm yankin' your chain, but I'm trying to kindly let you all in on how this porter with the trademark foamy & creamy head came to be! This brewery located at St James' s Gate was formerly known as Rainsford's Ale Brewery, and along came this great Irishman who leased the property for 9,000 years (yupperz; he did so in order to save it from doom, and leased at $80/yr)... worried about his fellow kinsmen who would drink themselves into oblivion at the whiskey and gin houses, he longed to improve the society and give the youth of IE something delicious and a bit more healthy to imbibe... In comes Guinness, a porter made of roasted barley (I loooooove Korean barely tea..sorry for the aside), a very filling, smooth, creamy dark, slightly bitter beer!!!! This was a rather stupendous and fun, silly tour... goofing about at the various stations for placing your head into a wooden cut-out... listening to how the tales...wandering the labyrinth at St James's Gate... At the conclusion of the tour, there's a long, fun bar whereby you're treated to a free pint (pivo!!!!). Enjoy more at any pub in town, as it's the national beer...and get a ploughman's meal...YUM. read more

I will preface this post with the fact that my bf and i don't really drink beer. with that said, this place was pretty cool, in terms of the layout, the creativity of the setup and the information it explained about how the beer is made and to think that 2 million+ pints a day are made/drank daily is mind boggling. i have to admit we rushed through most of the self guided tour and were disappointed to find that the pour your own perfect pint was no longer open. The gravity bar was cool. Nice view of Dublin. Ok so the beer.. again, not huge fans of beer, but it was so cool to watch the beer do it's thing with the foaming and it was funny to watch others diving for their chance to taste it before the bartender could "top it off." It was cool to be able to taste it, but i really don't like beer and unfortunately Guinness was no exception. It was a bit dark for my taste as well and i felt bad that we didn't give our extra ticket to someone who would've enjoyed it more than we did. overall i'd say i'm happy i went. i got personalized Guinness' for my brothers who thought it was cool. Staff was also very nice. read more
This place is a fun place to visit, and of course a must-see if you are ever in Dublin. You can learn interesting facts such as: The water in Guinness comes from the Wicklow Mountains, not the River Liffey. I also got to eat some roasted barley, and it was really good! Really brings out the flavor of the beer. The Guinness Taste Experience teaches you how to enjoy the beer properly (Listen, Look, Touch, Smell, Taste)... but I think I just chugged my sample without really following the 5 steps... It's really fun to pour your own perfect pint of beer, and then you even get a certificate of authentication to prove it. The Gravity Bar upstairs also offers a nice view over the city. Be sure to allow yourself ample time to see everything, craft the perfect pint of beer, AND be able to enjoy it. My friend and I got there too late in the afternoon and were a bit rushed in the end, so we didn't have time to finish our beers before the place closed. :( read more

It's beyond touristy! It's really huge! You get one pint of Guinness draught! Wooooo! I wasn't terribly impressed besides with how much effort they've put into making this a real experience beyond just a brewery tour and sales point for tourist junk. The Tasting Room was fun, and so was Guinness Academy. Food on 5th floor was better than that on the 2nd floor, but still just meh and overpriced. read more
If you are visiting Dublin, Ireland the home of Guinness Beer you have a wonderful opportunity to tour and learn the history of Guinness Beer. I was glad to get that opportunity and learn the history of Guiness. This is a self guided tour that is pretty well laid out. I would recommend you set aside two to three hours to take the tour depending on how fast you want to go and how busy they are that day. You will learn about Arthur Guinness, the ingredients that go into Guiness Beer, the history, advertising, how to pour a proper Guiness Pint, and enjoying a pint. I would have actually liked to have seen the process they currently use for making Guinness. This is a great experience and you learn a lot. It's quite a journey and the view from the Gravity Bar is fabulous on a clear day. read more

They weren't lying when they said Guinness tastes better in Ireland. Guinness storehouse is amazing, you have to stop by if you are in town. The whole town is pretty much built on guinness. The tour in itself is vast and pretty amazing. It goes through everything from how the beer is made on several different levels, and ends at the top where you can learn how to pour beer proper like. We opted to do the guinness academy even though the line was a bit long. It's gimmicky but still pretty fun to "learn how to pour" and get a certificate saying you've been trained. Enjoy a guinness on the top level with amazing views of the whole city! read more

This was one of my favorite tours. I had originally thought it would be pretty corporate since Guinness is a huge company but it wasn't. It was a self guided tour through the storehouse. I really liked that it was self guided because a guided tour could get too intense with all the crowds. We also stopped by the tasting room where you got a mini pint to taste. The best part is obviously the gravity bar. The views were amazing as was the perfectly poured pint. For the record--it does taste better in Ireland than in the states. We got there fairly early a little before 11 and there were tons of people by the time we left--I'd suggest getting there on the early side to avoid a ton of people. read more

I was surprised by how vast and interactive this experience turned out being. I have done brewery tours before, but they were incredibly low-scale compared to this one. Be prepared for long lines and lots of people. My friends and I purchased the Dublin Pass in advance and went straight through the front on a separate line. Had we not, we would have been behind what looked like at least 350 people waiting to purchase admission. The folks at Guinness have certainly expended great thought and resources in creating this unique experience, but I couldn't help but feel like it was all very "Disney", for lack of a better word. The visit seemed very commercialized and modern, and not exactly what I expected from one of the oldest and most traditional brewing companies in the world. Regardless, there was plenty to see and do, and how could you not come away happy after enjoying a fresh and perfectly poured pint at the highest bar in Dublin. read more

I've wanted to visit Ireland for over a decade and I finally made it. My husband had wanted to visit the Guinness factory long before we met so we decided to go all in and book the connoisseur tasting. It cost about $130 US dollars for the 2 of us but it was so much fun. I don't drink beer but through the hour and a half class I learned a lot and actually found a Guinness beer that I really enjoyed. We were served 4 types of Guinness beers and finished with the 5th beer of the Guinness Draught which everyone in the class was able to pour their own from the tap with instructions from the teacher. My husband absolutely loved the course and I did as well. We finished the class and then took a tour of the rest of the building for the history of Guinness. We went to the 5th floor bar to choose from a larger selection of beers to choose with our free pint on our ticket. Once we had our free pints we grabbed some of the Guinness stew from the cafe which was around 14 Euros but a large portion and totally worth it, we really enjoyed it. We finished up by going to the 7th floor to take in the view of Dublin and then before leaving grabbed some mugs and bottle openers from the gift shop which we felt was priced right compared to many other tourist attractions where a mug can run 15-30 Euro we found our Guinness mugs for 8 & 13 Euro. Take the time and expect to spend 1 1/2 hours for the connoisseur class and then another hour or two to enjoy the rest of what Guinness has to offer. Check out my photo of my favorite Guinness the Extra Stout which I thought tasted a bit like coffee. read more
So much stuff to see! It is a huge place to learn and it was really fun to pour our own beer from the tap! There's so specific designated tour guide so you have freedom to explore! read more

Hello Grace! Thanks for your wonderful feedback, It's great to know…

Excellent and informative tour about the Guinness brewing process. It's a beautiful building filled chocabloc with memorabilia about the Guinness family and brewing in general. While this is certainly a very touristy area - apparently the biggest tourist destination in Dublin - the company has made much effort to appeal to as many demographics as possible. Tix are normally €25, but you can order ahead online for €18.50 (something I'd definitely recommend due to price and convenience). Naturally, the earlier you go, the fewer people there will be. We purchased a 12:30 tour, but were permitted to enter earlier, around 11am. O, felix culpa! What we were told would be about a 90min self-guided tour ended up as a 4+ hour visit. The Guinness Academy gives you an opportunity to learn to properly pour this famous stout, and the top floors are filled with restaurants and bars of various quality (though unless this is somehow very important to you, there are many many excellent pubs, cafes, and eateries within just a few moments of the storehouse). This visit wasn't even spent drinking - there are simply so many historical facets exhibited at the Storehouse. Not only can you learn about the Guinness stout itself, but about beer brewing, ingredient cultivation, cooperage, the advertising and cultural effect of the Guinness brand on the industry, and special impact that this family has had on Dublin over the centuries. If you're looking for iconic craft beer brewed in Ireland, make sure to check out some pubs outside of Temple Bar at the advice of a knowledgable local (the Guinness brand has been owned by multinational corporation Diageo since '97). But if you've never been to Dublin, this place is definitely worth a stop. read more

Even if you're not a beer fan this is c an awesome place to visit and learn the history of Ireland most iconic beer. The is a lot to do and see in this multi level experience. I recommend not "rushing" through it it's full of tidbits of knowledge about Arthur's passion for creating this fine beer. I might be a bit biased as it's one of my favourite beers. The are several great photo spots so you can get a room of different backgrounds and props. You can learn the reason why pouring this point takes time and will have the opportunity to put your own. You can even have a Stoutie done. Which is where the take your selfie and create it in the head of your beer. Current price of this is £6 They have a variety of foods in different locations which have been quite delicious everyone I've gone. If you have the opportunity and like trying and learning about beer I also recommend booking the connoisseur experience. This is a very limited number experience and only 40 people per day get to do this. So book it in advance. read more
A fun experience! I don't particularly enjoy beer but I enjoyed touring around and learning about the process! You can definitely can spend a whole day here, just reading all the facts, watching the videos and doing all the interactive stuff. The building is HUGE. There's around 7 floors I think. I really enjoyed the commercial/ads floor and being able to learn and pour my own beer! If you choose to pour your own beer, you only get one option. But if you wait for the gravity bar they have more options. The gravity bar was pretty cool too. You can see a good amount of Dublin! The only hard part is that the gravity bar is usually really crowded, so you probably won't find a seat. It's also hard to find an empty spot by the walls to take a picture (but definitely easier than finding a seat). For anyone visiting Ireland, I would recommend people to come visit. I didn't even really drink my beer and I had a great time! (Literally when I left my glass was still full). read more
So, I feel like 3 stars may be a bit harsh and I really wanna give 3.5, but hear me out. For starters, I had an AWESOME time. I think it's definitely worth a shot going, if you're in Dublin. I didn't realize until we got there that it's a self guided tour. I don't always mind this, but I sort of enjoy the personalization of tours when the tour guide throws random facts out at ya! I was a bit bummed about that. Secondly, there is a ton of information, videos etc that you can read about and watch but for me it still wasn't enough. The videos are also hard to read. I really was hoping to see how (like with my eyeballs) how the beer was made and that didn't happen. I thought I was gunna get to walk through the factory where they packaged the Guinness and watch through a huge window, NOPE to be fair, I don't even know if the beer is actually made at this specific location. I know it once was and parts of the process are done at the storehouse but I wanted more. The gravity bar is cool and we also got to learn how to properly drink a Guinness, as well. We got hungry along the way. We stopped by for some vegetable soup and Irish soda bread which was bomb! It was cool, I liked it but I didn't love it. read more
