What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Our brewery tour is led by a guide who has worked at the two top attractions in Ireland: the Guinness Storehouse and Kilmainham Gaol. The first part of the tour is the story of Rascals Brewing Company. Visitors will learn how the founders – a husband and wife team – took inspiration from the craft beer scene in New Zealand and decided to pursue a dream of setting up a Dublin brewery. Visitors are brought from our restaurant to a mezzanine where the tour of the brewing facilities begins. At all times we engage the senses of visitors. We ask them to smell the hops or taste the malted barley used in our beer production. Visitors get up close to the fermenters and brewing vessels, seeing how our beer is made. The tour concludes with a generous tasting of Rascals finest beers. No other visitor experience in Dublin provides such behind-the-scenes and engaging access to a real working brewery!

Pizza s are absolutely Banging would definitely go again for the pizza. The Drinks are fabulous we had a pint of the Stout hubby said it was the Best Stout he had tasted.we also had a club orange larger also delicious. As part of the tour we had a tasting of four of Rascals Drinks All which were lovely. The tour is short.but the Drinks and pizza make up for it.

      Enjoyable tour and great pizza.
      Brought my 3 boys on the guided tour and they loved it. The tour guide (I’m embarrassed I can’t remember her name) was great with them. Got pizza afterwards and in my kids words was the best they ever had. Great selection of beers and stouts. I got a beer tasting board which some were hits and some not for me.

      Great name for a great experience.
      Discovered Rascals whilst staying in Dublin. We went for the pizza and beers! Friendly staff who found us a table (though I would recommend booking, especially at a weekend). The selection of beers and other drink was great, but not overwhelming. The pizza menu was the same; exactly the right amount. The pizzas were amazing! Beer also great and a friendly atmosphere. And the puddings didn't disappoint either!!

      use an Irish service provider to run your website asap.
      Hi All at Rascals, The Rascal website used to be a doddle to use. I would consider paying more for the pizzas if you could return to using the German-based service provider. Come on, it can't be that expensive to return to what was a pleasant and efficient online ordering customer experience. I am not anti-German by the way, my partner is part German, love them, love your pizza, but for pizza's sake (See what I did there), use an Irish service provider to run your website asap. and why can't I have more than three extra toppings? Yours rather quite bothered, Seán Molloy Inchicore resident....5 minutes away

      Worth a visit
      This brewery and pizzeria is fast becoming Dublins most popular place to eat and drink in a relaxed atmosphere. If you love pizza and craft beer you will not be disappointed- food is amazing, drinks superb and staff really know their stuff and are always happy to help. If you have not been yet I strongly suggest you check it out. Brewery tour is worth doing too!

      Good beer and pizzas, bad service
      Good beer! Good pizzas! Bad service...they are kind but waiters and waitress never are available. Its better go to the counter and order and ask for the bill at the bar as well. They are thinking in whatever thing but not in customers...they are distracted, its super annoying. I like this place but always I get angry cause waitress...

    On a whim we booked this tour and it was really great! Theres no bells and whistles like other tours but that didn't matter at all that will come with time. Our guide was very informative and also friendly and fun (English guy..didn't get his name).... We really enjoyed the couple of hours learning about how the company started and how it is growing from strength to strength. Really great to hear for an Irish company. Will definetly recommend to all my friends.

    Absolutely amazing experience. It's definitely worth the trip out of the city centre for great local beer, an excellent brewey tour and for the amazing friendly staff. The only downside is that the beer isn't shipped out enough into the UK!!!

    Very enjoyable tour with a knowledgeable and funny guide. Does not take too long and you finish off with a flight of four excellent beers. Some good info on the beers and history of the company. DO not leave without trying some of the excellent beers (regulars and rotating taps) and the superb pizza.

    Such a great evening. John our guide for the tour made it fun and informative all in one. The pizza was excellent and tasting the different beers was a pleasure. Pale ale stout. Who knew such a beer would taste so good. Myself and my hubby had planned for so long to do this. It didn't disappoint. Great service, great atmosphere and great feel to the place. Will be recommending to anyone who listens to me 🤣. See u all again soon !

    We are from Dublin and received a Rewarding Times voucher as a gift which inlcuded a tour, tasting, pizza and two pints each. We both enjoyed the tour and it was interesting to hear about Rascals background and how they make their beers etc. We really enjoyed the tasting, our guide Lorien had a great knowledge of the beers and happily answered any questions that we had whilst recommending other beers for us to try. We received flat bread with the tasting which was delicious and then we moved to a private table for our pizza. I had the Dublin Ate which was gorgeous, I would highly recommend it. We sampled a few more of the beers on offer and really enjoyed the buzzy atmosphere. All of the staff were extremely friendly and they all knew their stuff! I would highly recommend visiting Rascals if you are a local or just visiting Dublin and looking for something different to do.

    We did the brewery tour with a tasting at the end and it was top notch. Very knowledgeable and funny tour guide (I forgot her name - her fault for giving me so much beer). It's a lovely building and they have a lot of very tasty beers including some I wouldn't usually go for. Only downside is we had to leave sharpish due to a private event happening after our tour but they made the extra effort to treat us to their most interesting beers on the tasting flight. They also recommended some good places to go afterwards which didn't disappoint. Will look out for your beers in Edinburgh if they ever make it there.
