Create an itinerary including Guinness Storehouse
Have a pint of Ireland's favorite beer at Guinness Storehouse, which narrates the history of one of the country's major exports. The old storehouse is the only part of a massive brewery open to the public--its signature attraction is a glass atrium designed to resemble a pint of Guinness. Discover the history of both the historical brewery and the popular brand on the ground floor, and then proceed up through seven more floors that demonstrate everything from the selection of barley and hops to the transportation and advertising of the finished product. Once you reach the top, claim your complimentary pint of the black brew at the storehouse's glass-enclosed bar, which offers panoramic views of the city. Put Guinness Storehouse into our Dublin day trip app to see other points of interest to visit during your vacation in Dublin.

  • A Disney-ified look at how the beer is made, spread out through different floors. It’s stupid, overpriced, and one of the most over-hyped tourist attractions I’ve ever been to. Even the “view” from...

  • Absolutely brilliant brewery experience. There was 7 floors of interactive facts about Guinness. There was even a free tasting room where a tour guide would describe the different tastes and aromas that Guinness gives. They had a lovely cafe which serves good coffee and food at very reasonable prices too. They also had a well stocked gift shop. The rooftop bar at the top is phenomenal and you get some great views of the city too. Would really recommend this brilliant place. I spent 2hours there but you could easily spend longer.
  • Wonderful, wonderful time spent in the Guinness building! History with fun, good organization and excellent set up. The pint of Guinness in the gravity bar is so worth it! The view is phenomenal and the beer is so fresh and smooth! They have a parking that is only for Guinness guests and it is only a block from the building - so convenient! Highly recommend getting tickets in advance and getting there at least 10 mins before the tour start as there are lines forming. We had fun!
  • An absolute must-do when visiting Dublin. Every part of this adventure is worthwhile and memorable. The building itself is on such a massive scale that it is awe inspiring. The design is also incredible; from the shape and sight lines of the central tower, to the layout of the visitor walkways. There is so much to see and the experience covers multiple angles of inquiry. You will learn about the ingredients and the economic scale of the product, the history of the Guinness family’s impact on Dublin and the world, the industries of producing, packaging, and transporting the black stuff, and honestly so much more. The tour is highly interactive and there is a fantastic level dedicated to old advertising that I particularly loved. You will also get the chance to enjoy a perfect pint in one of the many great bars. This is one of the best tours to take in Dublin and is loved by locals ad well as visitors. I spent about four hours here so do plan to get there early and take the time to enjoy it.
  • Iconic museum describing the 250+ year history of the Guinness brewing company. Each of the 7 floors describe different aspect of the company like the brewing process (ingredients, process), the packaging & delivery (cask making, shipping by barge train or boat, horse carriages), advertising, company management through the centuries, etc. It is possible to rent audio guides or use your own smart phone to load an audio clip from the QR code located at each station. The top floor is a bar with a 360 degree view of Dublin. Most entrance ticket will include a drink at that bar. There is also a coffee shop and several restaurants, some requiring reservation. We arrived at 10 am and made it to the bar at 11:30, and lunch at noon. By 1 pm the place is packed so it is best to arrive early to enjoy the museum and get a nice spot at the bar.
  • You get a feeling of a "day well spent" while coming out. You'll get to see each step of the preparation of the famous Guinness! Friendly staff and great environment. On the top floor you could see the entire Dublin's 360 view. You can have a fun evening with your loved ones. Don't forget to get some souvenir from the shop!
