Guinness Storehouse

One of the must-do in Dublin… Not only you will have access to the history of the beer and especially Guiness, but you will also meet other curious people, enjoy some pints on the roof-top..
I really enjoyed eventhough I am not a big fan of beer but the path was breath-taking!!!

Yes, it’s quite pricey and probably not very interesting unless you are a real Guinness fanatic, but as a tourist in Dublin is one of those things you can’t help doing. The views from the bar on the 7th floor are great, and all the stuff related to advertising and the brewing process are entertaining and well presented there. I don’t really like Guinness but I enjoyed my perfectly poured (half)pint at the end of the visit :)

Informative, well-presented history of Guinness. Most expensive pint of my life and I don’t even like the stuff ;) But the Gravity Bar is really cool and offers a wonderful view over Dublin! I had lunch on the 5th floor in the brewery restaurant: “quiche with a selection of salads” the quiche was ok. The selection of salads was weird: cold half potatoes, cold vegetables, no dressing – aweful taste for a high price! (Little piece of quiche and salad – 11,95€)

Top Attraction!!

Definitely worth every penny of the entrance to see the factory and make it all the way to the top, to the Gravity Bar.

Dublin is full of Guinness Gift Shops anyway, but the best one is undoubtedly in the Guinness Storehouse!

Overall fantastic, and coming from Birmingham - I appreciated how good the real Guinness tasted with its extra flavour and sensation on the tongue compared to its distributed variety back home.

We're all guilty of visiting a big city and paying some ludicrous price to go up it's highest tower, wheel, needle or what have you. But in what other city can you say that once at the top you are rewarded with a free pint? Okay so the Guinness isn't technically free since you paid to get in, but the entrance fee is more than worth it. The tour of the storehouse itself is okay, some parts more interesting than others. I particularly liked seeing the infamous Guinness advertising through the ages and the part where you can enter your surname to see if any long lost relatives once worked for Guinness (but then my surname is O'Callaghan so the chances were pretty high)

But it really was all about the Gravity Bar for me, the views across Dublin are amazing, and we were lucky to have glorious, somewhat blinding, sunshine. Now maybe it's my Irish routes but I am partial to a Guinness, however I'm telling you straight this was damn fine Guinness. It's true what they say, there's something in the water!

Fantastic place and a pint when you reach the top with grand views of Dublin to look at.(if its a nice day).

I'm not going to lie.....guinness is my drink of choice, but the tour was boring! The place was over crowded and that spooky what could have been a good tour!

The merchandise and advertising floors are less crowded and thus, more interesting than the brewing process!

Don't be fooled, the gravity bar is about the least relax place in the history of mankind! It's just full of hundreds of people pulling funny faces (which almost made it worth while)

The gift shops sells very little that you can't buy in any other gift shop in Dublin!

€15 to get in, but when you get a free pint, which sets you back €5 in a pub, €10 for the tour and the chance to say.....I went, blah blah, I suppose it's not too bad!

Overall, not really worth the hype, but you kind of feel compelled to go! It would be like going to Rome and not visiting the pope!

A must visit if you have ever sampled a pint of the black stuff, very interesting tour of the history of brewing of Guinness, ending in a roof top bar with spectacular views of Dublin.

This famous factory produces the Guinness stout, famous the world over. We did not get the opportunity to go inside as our tour bus merely stopped outside briefly while we were given a quick synopsis of its function and history. We did however get the opportunity to taste its produce in a typical pub whilst sheltering from the rain. I had tried the stout in the UK and whilst very palatable I was shocked to taste it there - it truly is a different taste to the exported stuff - much creamier and lesh harsh on the tongue.

Interesting place to visit and find out about the black stuff. Informative but not information overkill and fairly entertaining. Worth it just to enjoy a pint in the glass observation tower at the top.
Hop on hop off bus stops right outside.

If you are going to Dublin then the storehouse is a must visit. the whole building is modern combinded with old in a nice way and you really feel like you have earned that free pint when you get to the domed shaped bar at th top

Well, what can you say about the one main tourist attraction in Dublin? That the Guiness Brewery did a great job in setting up the Storehouse. Interactive, with loads of information on the brewing process made easy understandable and even a tasting lab that a) makes you really eager to the full pint of Guiness at the Gravity Bar, and b) invites you to enjoy the Guiness like at a wine tasting. I end here with most friends who visit Dublin for the first time, and have not yet felt bored during my visit.

As newly converted Guinness drinker they do a very good job here as a tourist attraction. A bit too good.

I know they have to handle a lot of visitors everyday but I found the place too big and not intimate enough.

Story of Guinness was very well told and visually explained.

I would have liked more on the branding side.

Great pint and great view from the top of the Sky bar. I think the highest viewing point of the city in Dublin.

Definitely worth a visit.

I love Guinness and I love the way they tell their story.

I read up a bit about the story and branding behind the tour before I visited the Storehouse. When you've been on other brewery-like tours, you can see how Guinness has set themselves apart and created a really special visitor experience.

There are plenty of other happy comments, so read further to know more. But if branding and storytelling (a very Irish pasttime) are your thing... this will definitely appeal to you.

Definitely a must see in Dublin. Tried my first Guinness here!

It is a little out of the way, but easily accessible via the city tour bus, which I recommend if you have limited time. A hop on hop off bus which stops at all the major attractions, and some you wouldn't consider but are worth a visit.

The food is good, reasonably priced. There is a lot to look at for the whole family, although I think young children may get bored quite quickly!

I particularly enjoyed the vintage advertising.

Spent approximately three enjoyable hours here.

shame the stout is so poor

A little off the beaten track, the GUINNESS store house is well worth a visit for newcomers to sample the taste and history of the 'liquid gold' Ireland has become known for.

I'm not actually much of a Guinness drinker but the view from the top bar alone makes the ticket worth the cash. Trundle along 7 floors (yes there's a slight danger of over-information, but as you're doing it in your own time you can skip one or two if you fancy). Personally I found the first two floors of what and how they make the brew, along with the advertising section the most worthwhile and recall a boring patch in the middle but not exactly of what filled it (this was before the bar I'd like to add).

There's quite a bit of walking around floors and up stairs and you end with a Guinness (included in ticket price of 15 Euros) in the top 'Gravity Bar' - spectacular on a sunny day with a 360 degree view over the whole of Dublin.

A neat little lift loads you down to the bottom again conveniently next to the little gift shop and perhaps sold by the story or the happy Guinness sitting in your belly, you're quite likely to buy something - a T-shirt, bottle opener or even Guinness mustard.

A fab day out for all the family. However it is quite expensive to get in!!! But worth it for the children it shows them how the Guiness is being made. The museum is built like a pint glass, you start at the bottom and work your way up to the top of the oh so famous white head of a Guiness. you get a chance to see the history behind the Original Master Brewer, and how Guiness came around. Your ticket entitles you to a free pint which is always a bonus, you can then either to use your free pint to gain your certificate in pulling the perfect pint. This is were a member of staff lets you in on the secrets of that perfect white creamy head, that we all love from a Guiness. Work your way to the top of the Guiness and cast your eyes over the skyline of Dublin, If you havent already this is the time to claim your free pint :)

The Gift shop/ Store house as it knows, is huge, and with an upstairs too, there is loads to choose from, including storehouse exclusives that you will get no where else.
All in all its well worth the trip to Dublin to visit!

It’s a great visitor center and you get a sample of Guinness and a free pint. It’s really hard to beat the view from the highest building in Dublin. On a clear day you can see all the way to the bay. All & all a great way to spend an hour or two.

Dublin’s 'must see’ top attraction in Dublin has been voted number one for the fifth year in a row.
Highly recommended by Almara Accommodations Dublin.
