Guinness Storehouse has been on my must visit list when in Dublin and it didn't disappoint. There is plenty to do and loads to learn about Irelands number one export. The building is very impressive and very well planed to take you on a journey about the Guinness history. There are two bars also within the building to taste the Guinness brands but by far the best is the Gravity bar with the panoramic views of Dublin, lucky for us it was a very clear and sunny day for us to enjoy a Guinness or two. We purchased our entry tickets (pint included) online before arriving as it can be busy especially at the weekends. There is also loads of Guinness merchandise to purchase so bring plenty of Euros for all those gifts. Next time I'm in Dublin I will be visiting the storehouse again.

I wasn't sure what to expect, especially since back home in Canada, I don't like Guinness. Let me tell you, the Guinness you taste in the Storehouse, is so smooth, refreshing and tasty. I honestly don't think I can drink Guinness anywhere else other than Ireland.
The tour is self guided. You can pay extra to learn how to pour a Guinness pint and you can pay extra to have your picture placed on a pint of Guinness too. We didn't do that, but we did pay for a glass of Guinness as part of our self guided tour.
It takes you about 2 hours to go through the tour. It's very educational. They do have a lounge at the top of the building that allows you to look out at Dublin. Good luck getting a table or a spot to sit. You'll have to go down to the floor below where there is more seating.
You have to book a time to visit. They are pretty good at allowing you in 30 mins before your scheduled time and 30 mins after. Beyond that time, you'll have to rebook.
You can get to the Storehouse via taxi, Uber, hop on hop off bus. There are horse drawn carriages that are driven by the gypsy. Don't take them. We witnessed the drivers intoxicated and they are not kind to their horses either..

Must see if you are going to Dublin. Although there is no Spanish as an option, it is worth visiting. The industrial environment already foreshadows that the visit is worthwhile. It has 5 plants dedicated to how is the manufacture of beer in which you can observe all the processes for the brewing and the raw materials used.
The estimated duration is 90 min. The price will vary depending on the time you book. The early hours of the morning are 20 p/w and the next 26 p/w
In our case we went at 10 a.m. to try to avoid crowds and take advantage of the views of the top floor.
In half an hour we take the tour and leave the rest of the time to enjoy the views. Watch out if you match up with groups of Asians. They kill to get there first, get all the beers and the best places. Looks like they're going to get their lives into it. We could still take good place to enjoy this delicious beer. Just for the views it's worth it.

My son & I had some time to kill back in May and, visiting Dublin for the first time ever, we almost felt obliged to check out the Guinness Storehouse. We booked online in advance and then walked from the city centre to this place. As we got close up we were a little perturbed to see so many huge tourist coaches and a long line of horse drawn carriages waiting outside. Clearly there was a lot of footfall here.
We made our way inside, joined a shortish queue and had our tickets on my Smartphone checked. All good. We then shuffled into the gift shop area where a young lady shouted a short explanation about the fact that ours was a self guided tour over the 7 floors of this original building. After that we were on our own to walk casually through the many interactive displays which plotted the history of Guinness and explained how it is very precisely brewed here. Quite interesting really but the film on one of the higher floors was a bit naff. .
We didn't buy any of the specialty tours available but after having tasted a micro glass of the black stuff we made our way to the very crowded Gravity Bar at the top of the building. Here you have 360° views over Dublin. With a freshly poured Guinness in hand we pushed through the crowds until we hit on two seats at the bar. I eventually sank 4 glasses of this stuff (my son doesn't drink beer) and was quite happy by the end of our visit here.

Absolutely fantastic customer service. We arrived and my mother was in some pain from walking. They ushered us straight in ( an hour before our allotted time) , offered us seating and found a wheelchair for my mother so she could still enjoy the experience. This was made all the better by the member of staff , Katie , who was on the door! Bravo Guinness

A fine museum of experiences about how Guinness is made and the history behind Guinness. Very well built museum in nice old brewery. At the end of the tour you can drink Guinness (included in the ticket) in the roof rope bar. There are also great opportunities to buy souvenirs in this rather commercial museum

The first floor was clearly made for Instagram stories. What to do...signs of the times. It's nothing special in terms of the museum part - which is three floors - but the ticket you pay is 100% worth it just for the chance to drink Guinness 0.0 on one of Dublin's highest roof gardens with a view to match and for a little surprise tasting. Don't make the mistake of getting the classic Guinness and not the 0.0

Our party of 9 joined another 6 for the Connoisseur Experience.Whilst the Guinness Expert could certainly Tell a Tale & the Tastings & knowledge provided was expertly conveyed was it & 3 /4 tastings value for money @ 95 Euros... I'm not sure.On the plus side we did manage to visit the Gravity Bar for 1/2 Hr or so afterwards & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Unfortunately as we were the last Group it felt very rushed to such an extent that we weren't really able to have a 'Whole Store Experience'.

Free visit with audio guide in Spanish. We bought the ticket on the storehouse website. Depending on the time of day, it costs one price or another. We really liked the visit with the audio guide. The best thing, the beer included in the entrance fee and which we drank in the panoramic bar on the top floor at sunset. To improve the friendliness of some people on the team and the route directions.

The basic Guinness Storehouse experience is sufficient in my opinion. I did not see the value in the added premium experiences (pouring, selfie pour, etc). The interactive approach to the tour is amazing. The only drawback is that there are sooo many people funneled through the experience and the visit to the Gravity Bar was like being an a food court during peak dining.

What if you don't like Guinness is there another drink option?
Written 26 March 2025
Hello! Two questions: 1) Can I purchase one standard tour ticket and one Stoutie tour ticket at the same time for a total of 2 tickets? On the website, it's only letting me pay for one type of ticket only. 2) I'm not a big drinker but we are thinking of having lunch there in one of the restaurants. Can I bring my pint of beer into the restaurant to have with my meal?. Thanks!
Written 20 March 2025
I'm not sure about the ticket options you would maybe be better phoning or emailing them to check? About your drink though they were pretty happy for people to take their drinks with them, there's a bar on one of the floors where you can pay for drinks and my partner was able to come up to the skybar with it, also saw people going around the tour with their drinks.

Hello, we booked the last available 4:45 PM time slot, but we were wondering if there’s any flexibility in visiting earlier in the day if we’re able to check in to our hotel sooner than expected. Would it be possible to adjust our visit time upon arrival?

I went one a Saturday afternoon and the lady at the door was strict. Maybe you should try to amend your booking up to 24h before.

Be careful, they don't give refunds if you need to cancel, so it's best to take the Jameson Distillery tour.
