This Guinness storehouse museum was absolutely worth it! I loved the vibes, and the self guided tour itself. It was really interesting and tour took us through the history of Guinness, and how their famous beer is made. We got a tasting of the beer, and they explained how it should be drank. Additionally, we went to the bar on the top floor where they gave us a complimentary Guinness which I really enjoyed. I also got to see the views of Dublin from above. The museum/factory itself is very vibrant, colorful and lively. Just a few tips - it can get quite crowded, be sure to go on a not so busy day if you can, and there is lighting/strobe effects that may not be suitable for those who are triggered by lights. Other than that, I highly recommend going. read more

Did you even go to Ireland if you didn't drink a Guinness at Guinness??? Such a cool experience! My tour group had tickets to the self guided tour in the storehouse and I really enjoyed it! I liked that it was at your own pace so if you were already familiar with the brewing process you could skim through quickly or read through everything if you really wanted. One of the floors has your first tasting of Guinness in shot like glasses and you hear a little spiel from one of the employees. He was great and cracked some jokes. That was my first time trying Guinness and I loved it so I couldn't wait to get to the Gravity Bar on the top floor. They offer an option to get your picture printed on the top of your Guinness pint but we opted out of that as it costs extra and takes some time with waiting in line and waiting for it to be ready. Once on the top floor, you can redeem your tour ticket for a Guinness pint. So fun watching them pour it properly and waiting for it to settle before they top it off. It's pretty crowded and you're likely not going to find a seat but there is plenty of room to stand around. Honestly my mouth is watering just thinking about Guinness again! It truly was some of the freshest beer I've ever had! Don't forget to split the G on your first sip Also loved their gift shop. It's huge and has tons of stuff to look at. read more

Guinness has a self-guided tour, which I was a little leery of, at first, but it turned out to be a great experience. We had just been at Jameson the day before and that tour is about 30-40 minutes. By us walking through the 5-7 floors at Guinness, I think we ended up spending 2-3 hours there. We enjoyed every bit of it from the intro speech on the building and history, to the various interactive brewing processes, to the historical bottles, mascots, and advertising, the tasting room, and finally, the bar on the top floor with the great 360 degree views of Dublin. Just was a really cool place with lots to see and experience. We also ate at one of their restaurants where I had a good Beef Guinness stew along with a Hop House 13 Lager. Really had a good time visiting here. read more

I'd probably rate this more of a 4.5 stars than 4. This is definitely a tourist trap, but wow -- you can really tell they put money behind all the marketing to wow people coming in here. If you didn't like Guinness before, coming here might just change your mind. There was about five different floors talking about the history and process of the brand. A little too excessive for me, but very educating for those interested. The place itself though, was beautiful. What I loved most about this tour was the end where we got our beer :) The tour we purchased wraps up with getting your picture printed on the foam of the Guinness, which was so cute. You also have a beautiful view of Dublin from where the beer bar is. read more

My bf & I had so much fun visiting Guinness Storehouse, home of the delicious chocolatey stout with coffee notes. Purchase a timed entry online, priced anywhere from €20-30 depending on day & time. Included with your ticket are a self-guided tour, small sample of original Guinness, & a pint of anything on tap at the Gravity Bar which has sweeping views of Dublin. We paid an extra €8 for a "STOUTie," a pint with our selfie printed on the foamy head! A must do! While I don't recommend their 1837 Bar & Brasserie, there are other grab & go food options & sit-down restaurants if you're feeling peckish. The self-guided tour details the brewing process, gives the history of the brewer (a copy of the now-void 9,000-year lease that Arthur Guinness signed is on display), & shows the different Harp logo iterations through the years, as well as statues from past ad campaigns. An informative, worthwhile tourist attraction in Dublin. read more

I am not at all a Guinness drinker, but when in Dublin, one must at least try a Guinness! This was the highlight of our trip! We spent the week in Dublin and I'm so glad we went on a Wednesday because it was not nearly as busy as when we saw it on Saturday. Our tour group probably had 30 people in it, but you're only together for the beginning bits. A guide brings you to the center of the first floor to explain some of the history, but we couldn't hear anything she said so you can probably just skip this part and get around on your own. You do start by standing on the 9000 year location lease which is pretty cool. You won't get a good photo because of the glare, but it's cool to see! After about 5 minutes you're led into another room to begin the tour - you see the history, how Guinness is brewed, old photos and some really cool stuff I won't give away here. After several floors of learning and experiences you make your way to either the pouring experience or the Stoutie. We chose to do both. I highly recommend paying for Stoutie because the photos come out so great! The pour experience left a lot to be desired. Our guide couldn't have cared less to teach us much beyond how to pull the draught. Your ticket gets you a beer at the Gravity bar on the 8th floor which is also the highest and best view of Dublin! We were there on a very clear day and could see all the way to the green rolling hills. The Gravity Bar is PACKED so be prepared to wander around to find seating or just know you might be standing the whole time. Definitely move about to get the view from all directions! We had lunch at I think it's called Alberts - I'll leave another review. We ended up with the burger bc my husband didn't notice the Guinness pie on the menu. Oh well! The burger was tasty and of course so were the pints. Whether you're a Guinness drinker or not, I think you'll have an amazing experience here at the Storehouse! read more

Not a Guinness fan? Neither am I but here I was. Let me tell you, those stories about Guinness tasting different & better here is not a rumor. It's a fact. You can't say you've been in Ireland without coming here. I had a great experience and the highlight is the 360 rooftop bar of course. If gets extremely crowded you might have a hard time finding tables & seats. I recommend you come a little before sunset as you get a gorgeous view of the sunset overlooking all of Dublin. read more

The Guinness Storehouse tour is a Dublin highlight. Interactive exhibits, fascinating history, and a deep dive into how "the black stuff" is made. The highlight is ending at the Gravity Bar with a perfectly poured pint and 360° views of the city. Even if you're not a big beer drinker, it's worth the visit for the experience alone. read more

Definitely worth seeing while visiting Dublin. The displays are incredible. The rooftop is beautiful.

Truly, what an amazingly immersive experience. I am not a beer guy nor a Guinness enthusiast either, but this museum/experience is for EVERYONE! Even my kids (11 and 14) loved it and thought it was so cool. I advise you to purchase tickets ahead of time for a particular time slot. The storehouse personnel are very efficient with the different timed entires. A few people showed up around 1200 saying that at noon the storehouse takes walk ins (I'm not sure how true that is). The experience is 6-7 floors of total Guinness immersion. From how they create the beer to the evolution of Guinness advertisements and from multiple eateries and rest areas to a 360 view on the top floor (the Gravity Room), this brewing empire shows you why they are such. My favorite part was the two taste testing rooms, the Aroma room and Velvet room. The guides there teach you how to truly appreciate the flavors as well as the overall taste of Guinness. Tip for you: grab your free pint of Guinness at the end of the experience and enjoy it in the Gravity Room. Afterward, you want to visit the gift shop. It's huge! Also, it has some good stuff at competitive prices. Overall, this was such a unique time. It's a must whether you're a Guinness/beer person or not. You will not be sorry. Enjoy! read more

A must do while in Dublin. We were told this is the most visited attraction in all of Dublin and I can believe it! It's a fun tour and you get to learn all about the different stages of brewing, the advertising, origins and lots more. There is a tasting room and there you can smell the different ingredients and have a taste of Guinness. The place is huge! There's at least five floors and on level seven, there is the famous Gravity Bar where you can get a pint and enjoy the view of Dublin from above. It's pretty busy there and it'll take good timing and luck to find a table, but it's worth it. Of course there's a gift shop where you can buy your glasses, shirts, hats, etc. Super fun visit and don't forget to take a picture by the Guinness Saint James gate. read more

Excellent spot to visit while in Dublin. I'm not even a Guinness fan like that and I really enjoyed myself ... I might even be a small Guinness fan now after this visit. Buy tickets online - that line is way faster than buying them there's. just an FYI. There are also different levels of admission. Some offer additional perks and entries into special activities if you are a real fan. We found the place gorgeous and informative. It really is a sight to see . You start at bottom and go up floor by floor . The top floor is a bar with 360'views of Dublin. Very cool- and you get one complementary drink - either the original Guinness or a lighter version ( forgot the name) but they were both pretty good ( I sampled my friends) . It is also very busy at the top! I watching the Guinness cascade was super cool I saw that there are restaurants that you can eat in and may need reservations. Once you are done - you go back downstairs and hit the gift shop -- it's very hard NOT to buy something. If you are in Dublin , this is must see read more

Visiting the Guinness Storehouse is a must do on any trip to Dublin. There are several price points and personally, the self guided tour at the lowest price point served me best. You can go as fast or slow as you'd like. There is so much to see and learn. Then when you get to the top floor, you have a 360 view of Dublin to enjoy while drinking a pint which is included in your ticket. There are additional ticket add-ons where you can learn to pour your own Guinness or get your image printed into your Guinness but we didn't opt in for those. There are several dining areas - one of which where my cousin and I shared the tastiest Ultimate Guinness Sausage Hot Dog at Arthur's Cafe & Bar. We also grabbed Keogh's Guinness chips from another vendor and a Guinness Clear (aka water lol). On the way out we stopped by the store for some souvenirs, and there was a lot to shop too! read more

Review number 1600 goes out to my father, who loved Guinness beer and enjoyed going here when he visited Ireland. This is no doubt the best spot to visit when visiting Ireland, or Dublin. Imagine visiting Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, except it is a stout beer instead of chocolate. The workers are happy and jovial without the makeup of the Oompa Loompa's, but work just as hard. It is truly a paradise for all (yes I saw children here), but here lie in the music makers, and dreamers of dreams. Everything is laid out so perfectly, so elegantly, that by the time you are ready to drink that pint you are no longer a slave to the weary, but a master of your glass. The beer tastes exquisite and is a proud masterpiece of all that hard work. Everybody is having a good time, but it is the reward of that work that this place reminds us all to work hard, but be proud of the work you do. I had to come and see it for myself, and now I can say I am happy I did. Slainte. read more

The Guinness Storehouse in Dublin is an experience which focuses on how beer is made through the lens of, you guessed in, Guinness beer. If you've been on any brewery tour most of the information is going to be something you've seen before with the focus on the central ingredients of beer: grain, hops, yeast, and water. What sets the Guinness experience apart is the production value itself. You'll wind your way up multiple levels as you learn about the ingredients that are used to make beer, the process, and the history of Guinness on a self-guided tour. Many of the installations felt like something you might see at a museum or art exhibit, and I particularly enjoyed the section on Guinness advertising towards the end of the experience. Mid-way through you'll try a sample of the famous beer and once you get to the end - which sits at the top of the building and has views overlooking the entire city of Dublin - you'll get to enjoy a pint at your leisure. While we didn't stop to try any of the restaurants within the building, know that there are multiple sit down restaurants if you're peckish. Make sure you get your tickets in advance online as this is clearly one of the larger tourist attractions in the city and they do run out. read more

This place is HUGE!! I think there were 5-7 floors and thankfully there was an escalator (up only) and an elevator. I'm not a beer drinker, but I went with my husband and found the advertisement floor and the breakdown of the brewing cool. We didn't realize you have to reserve tickets ahead of time to do your picture on your pint so we were bummed they were sold out of that for the day. Overall cool experience but he did prefer the Jamison tour over this one. read more

The Good: it's an experience Tickets online but not the drink tickets which are hard copies that must be manually redeemed. It's historical. I enjoy learning and the history makes it inspiring actually. Even the old/original building impresses me but some of the updated work should be revisited or have a plaque explaining the work. The view of Dublin from the top floor is nice. What Must Improve: Updated to add HYGIENE. THE BAR KEEP PULLED ON HIS NOSE WHILE A GIRL PLAYED IN HAIR AS THEY POURED GUINNESS. 1) air flow and seating in the bar for your "free" drink. This process may work or excite bar flys but I can't imagine living under such conditions or processes. 2) the actual video immersion didn't work and we waited for a good bit of time 3) outdoors to enter... The wait. Can't buy in person as the entire process is "cashless." So step aside and buy your ticket 4) Since we didn't buy in advance the "elevated" read: more expensive experience wasn't available. My folks would have enjoyed the tasting. I would have enjoyed everything personalized. 5) Girl at the bar didn't offer any drink options for the included drink. This matters as I'm a non-drinker and it matters for service as the young guy working after her offered everyone the options they have on tap for the ticket redemption. UPDATED to add a separate young guy didn't offer options neither flavors even when a lady asked for Tonic water. The saving grace is my Engineer folks enjoyed the place especially the original tools and the original working process. I did adore the genuine leather on the chairs and sofa. 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

I have to be honest - I don't like drinking Guinness in the US. However, there must be something magical because in Ireland the beer tastes amazing because it is very fresh. The tour was self-guided and it got a bit warm for the tour. There were many places to stop to grab a bite to eat and of course drink a Guinness. The end of the tour was the best because they had a DJ playing and you could have your free libation while seeing a view of the city. I thought $30 USD was a little steep for a tour, but it did cover all of the history plus showed their marketing genius with their iconic add campaigns. 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

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

When in Ireland..... you must stop by Guinness! It wasn't until I got here did I learn their significance to the city and how much they contributed to the community. It was a beautiful and HUGE location with so much to see and do! You could easily spend 3-5 hours here depending on how long you take for the self guided tour, and other offerings. We did the stoutie experience (literally the coolest thing ever) and grabbed a drink at the gravity bar after our self guided tour. The bar was packed and seating was difficult. We opted to stand by the glass and stare out at the city and it was still beautiful. 10/10 recommend! 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.

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

The Guinness Storehouse far surpassed my expectations. I didn't look much into it before coming here. Did a Google of "Things to do in Dublin, Ireland" and Guinness was one of the top things to do. I was expecting just a brewery, bar, barrel type of thing, but no. The Guinness Storehouse is a true experience. The place is massive, there's like 7 floors or something. Each floor was very immersive. The interactivity of everything was on a grand scale. Something for all the senses. I highly recommend coming here. You will not be disappointed. Please book your tickets online in advance, they sellout quickly. There were some people who tried to just walk up and buy tickets, but couldn't because tickets were sold out for the day.

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

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.
