Bit out of town. A little superficial and felt commercial. Pint of Guinness with nice views ok (but nowhere to sit on 7th floor). Overall good but slightly disappointed. Better spend your money at the temple bar bars.
Very well done experience that walks you through the history of Guinness and the beer making process. It’s an exhibition. You won’t see the actual process at all! It’s crowded, almost feels like you are in a Disney World but still worth it. At the end go to the 7th floor for your pint and a cool view of Dublin. They only have Guinness, one Lager, and a few selected soft drinks. No wine! Get your tickets in advance!!
Well worth a visit, we really enjoyed it. A must for anyone coming to Dublin that for sure. First class
The best way I can describe the Storehouse is an indoor historical amusement park. Four floors filled with exhibits and memorabilia from the history of Guinness. There are a couple of really interesting historical exhibits - one of all of the traditional brewers tools and another of the advertising history. In other parts there are some interpretive exhibits to highlight some key points about a Guinness and there is a pretty technologically interesting water display that uses persistence of vision to display words. Finally, two tastings, both part of the admission. The first is on the second floor. The tasting experience walks you through the smells of the ingredients, brewing, and the beer itself- served in very tiny pint-style glasses. Enough for a good few whiffs and a few sips to go with it. The second is at the top - a free pint in a rooftop lounge. Seating is at a premium so expect to stand. Pints are poured continuously - day not reach for one, the spigot tender will hand you one when it is ready. Great sips and a 360-degree view of Dublin. Overall, great (if different) experience that you will not see duplicated anywhere else. Even if you are not a beer drinker, this is a place to go.
We enjoyed the Guinness tour - from the history of the Guinness family, to the science of the beer-making process, to the tasting room samples. And of course the experience of the Guinness of your choice at the 360-degree bar at the top of the building can’t be missed. Oh yes, and the gift store onsite has all things Guinness souvenirs! Fun tour!
One big advertisement for the beer. Granted the beer is iconic, but remember this tour of about souvenirs and Disney like displays. Do the tour of you must buy remember the real experience of in a pub somewhere else on the island. There is no parking near here so you have to walk or cab.
Extremely well done, the old warehouse is perfectly suited for this activity and well designed. The set up and artifacts were displayed appropriately.
Book directly through Guinness. I paid €30 and all the people I went with paid €20. I felt ripped off. But the factory was awesome and I had a great time.
Fantastic tour from start to finish. We walked from Parnell Street in Dublin which took us about 25mins. Booked tour by Viator for £26. The tour is over 7 floors. With a cafe on the upper floors and The Gravity Bar is on the 7th. Guides are available throughout the tour with the tasting area a must. A free drink is included in the ticket price but you pay extra if you decide not to use the Gravity bar- The bar does get extremely busy and seating is at a premium, but fantastic views across Dublin. When leaving the Storehouse why night turn right and walk about 650metres and visit The Lark Inn pub, which for €5 a pint of Guinness is a must👍👍
Fantastic experience within walking distance from Temple Bar. 7 floors of information and a bar at the top. The Gravity bar does get very busy so seating is extremely limited.
