"We booked as a family and it was perfect. The Arthur Guinness Walk captivated us from the very start. The pint at the Gravity Bar was excellent, far better than the one at the airport. Make sure to head up quickly to avoid the crowds."
"Stunning pint-shaped architecture with its glass atrium. The tour is educational about the four ingredients, but the Saturday afternoon queue was long. Allow at least two hours to fully enjoy the floors."
"Going solo, I loved this immersion. The history of advertising is fascinating. The 360-degree view from the Gravity Bar is unforgettable on a clear day. I took the advice to charge my phone, as digital use is limited during the tasting."
"A must-see in Dublin. The glass structure is spectacular. We compared the packages before buying and chose the standard version, which already included the final tasting. It offers great value for money for such a complete experience."
"The place lives up to its reputation, especially the impressive Atrium. However, it was grey that day, so the view from the top was less magical. The atmosphere can be a bit museum-like at times, but discovering the brewery is still very pleasant and well organized."
"As a couple, we enjoyed a dedicated time slot to avoid the rush. The vertical walk across seven floors flows smoothly. A fresh pint on the top floor perfectly crowns the visit. It's an immersive experience that is well worth the architectural sight."
"The seniors in our group really appreciated the overall accessibility. The exhibition on the four ingredients is clear and informative. The panoramic view of Dublin from the seventh-floor bar is a magnificent final touch to end the day."
"Very good overall organization. I strongly recommend checking food restrictions if you have any intolerances before choosing your package. The building's architecture is unique, and tasting various beers is a real plus for enthusiasts."
"With my friends, we did the full tour. The evolution of advertising campaigns surprised us with its historical richness. The price of €37 is reasonable given access to the seven floors and the complimentary pint. A convivial and entertaining moment at the top."
"The building's recognizable silhouette catches the eye. We headed up quickly as advised, which allowed us to explore the less crowded intermediate floors at a leisurely pace down. The pint at the Gravity Bar is indeed the best we've had."
"A solid experience, though a bit disappointed by the weather, which spoiled the panoramic view. Fortunately, the tour covering the brand's history since 1759 more than compensates. Booking in advance is essential to avoid losing time in queues."
"It is a point of pride to see a site distinguished by a Thea Award. The immersion into the factory is stunning. The final tasting in a unique setting at the top of the tower is perfect. Take the time to visit each floor; allow at least two hours to appreciate everything."

Discover Guinness Storehouse
The icon of beer since 1759
An architectural monument dedicated to Guinness heritage in Dublin.
7 floors
Vertical journey
360°
Panoramic view
Thea Award
International distinction
Located at St James Gate, the Guinness Storehouse is much more than a simple attraction: it is the beating heart of the capital. By visiting this iconic site, you discover the story of Arthur Guinness and the science behind the famous black pint. Booking a ticket guarantees smooth access to this two-hour immersive experience, culminating at the Gravity Bar for an unforgettable view of Dublin.
History of the Guinness Storehouse
Founded in 1759 by Arthur Guinness, the brewery transformed a small workshop into a global empire. The current storehouse, built at the end of the 19th century, initially served as a storage warehouse. Today, it welcomes visitors in a modern space set within the former industrial buildings, preserving the authenticity of the place while offering contemporary comfort.
The building stands out for its remarkable architecture: a glass atrium shaped like a pint of beer that rises over seven levels. This structure allows smooth vertical circulation between the different themes covered. The whole has been recognized by the Themed Entertainment Association, which awarded it a Thea Award for its exceptional quality of themed experience.
As a local guide, I have watched this place evolve over the decades. It remains a pillar of Dublin’s identity, connecting its industrial past to modern tourism. Visiting the storehouse is like touching the soul of the city through the prism of its most famous drink, in a setting that respects the original heritage while constantly innovating.
What to see during the 7-floor visit
On the ground floor, the journey begins with the four fundamental ingredients: water, barley, hops and yeast. Here you learn the basics of brewing before heading up to the floor dedicated to Arthur Guinness. This level traces the founder’s life and commercial ambitions, offering a fascinating glimpse into 18th-century entrepreneurship.
The intermediate floors explore the evolution of advertising around the beer and the history of the brand. Interactive panels detail the creation method and technical innovations that enabled beer preservation. A section dedicated to responsible alcohol consumption recalls current issues, adding a serious educational dimension to the entertainment.
The top of the journey leads to the Gravity Bar, located on the seventh floor. This is where the reward arrives: a 360 -degree view over the entire city of Dublin. The bar offers various tastings, allowing you to compare different flavors from the Guinness range. It is the ideal moment to immortalize your stay with exceptional panoramic photos.
Practical: Access, duration and tips
The complete visit lasts approximately two hours, including the ascent and time spent at the Gravity Bar. Opening hours may vary depending on the season, so it is essential to check available slots on the official website before you arrive. To access the site, allow a 15-minute walk from the city center or a short bus ride, as St James Gate is close to the main tourist areas.
Regarding accessibility, elevators allow you to reach all floors, including the Gravity Bar, facilitating the visit for people with reduced mobility. However, we always recommend confirming specific conditions with the provider if you have particular needs. For families, the content is suitable for a wide audience, but the duration may be long for very young children.
Before booking, compare ticket options: some include a tasting while others are limited to the guided tour. Arrive 15 minutes early to pass security calmly and wear comfortable shoes, as climbing the floors requires a minimum of effort. Also take the time to observe the exterior architecture of St James Gate before entering, a key element of the place's identity.

Tips for visiting the Guinness Storehouse
Insider tips
Manage your visit time
Allow at least two hours for a complete visit including the final tasting. School groups often arrive after 11:30 AM, so aim for a morning slot to enjoy a calmer space and better flow.
Compare packages before buying
Don't automatically buy the most expensive package; check if the tasting or access to the Gravity Bar is included in the base package. Compare the options available on the official website to optimize your budget without sacrificing the experience.
Check dietary restrictions
If you have allergies or intolerances, check the nutritional information for the tastings included in your ticket. Most packages offer alternatives, but it is prudent to confirm with staff before your arrival.
Optimize the vertical route
The intermediate floors can be crowded; heading up quickly and then coming back down sometimes allows more space to read the signs. This reverse strategy guarantees a more comfortable and less stressful experience.
Visit as a group
For families or groups, book a dedicated time slot to guarantee your entry without excessive waiting. The activities are designed for all ages, making the visit accessible to children as well as curious adults.
Use your phone wisely
Plan to charge your phone before the visit because tasting zones sometimes limit digital use. Take photos in authorized areas and save the tasting moments for an authentic sensory experience.
Access from the city center
The Guinness Storehouse is located at St James Gate, easily accessible on foot from the Dublin city center. If you arrive by public transport, get off nearby to avoid any tiring extra walking.
Accessibility and comfort
Check the wheelchair accessibility conditions directly on the official website before booking. The vertical route may present specific constraints, so it is essential to confirm the available adaptations for your personal situation.
Budget and prices
The standard price is around €37 for adults, but prices may vary depending on the package chosen. Always check current offers on the official website as seasonal promotions may change the final amount to pay.
Prime photo moments
Natural light streams through the glass atrium during the day, offering ideal conditions for photographing the interior architecture. The Gravity Bar at the top remains the must-see spot to capture the panoramic view of Dublin.
