More information

The Guinness Storehouse is Dublin's most-visited tourist attraction, a seven-floor experience built inside the original fermentation plant at St. James's Gate brewery, where Arthur Guinness began brewing his famous stout in 1759. The building itself is a feat of theatre: the central atrium is shaped like a giant pint glass, rising 164 feet (50 meters) from floor to ceiling.

History

Arthur Guinness signed his legendary 9,000-year lease on the St. James's Gate site in 1759, a detail that has become as much a part of the brand's mythology as the stout itself. The fermentation plant that now houses the Storehouse dates to 1904, when it was built as a working part of what was then the largest brewery in the world. The building closed to production in the 1980s and reopened as a visitor attraction in 2000, since when it has drawn tens of millions of visitors to the Liberties neighborhood of Dublin.

Why Visit

The Storehouse tells the story of Guinness from raw ingredients through to the finished pint, with dedicated floors covering barley, hops, water, and the brewing process. The top floor houses the Gravity Bar, a glass-walled panoramic space with 360-degree views across Dublin, where each visitor receives a complimentary pint. It is one of the best vantage points in the city, looking out over the rooftops toward the Dublin Mountains and the bay.

How to Visit

The Storehouse is located on Thomas Street in the Liberties district, about a 25-minute walk from Trinity College or a short bus ride from the city center. Booking your ticket in advance is strongly recommended, particularly in summer and on weekends, as timed entry slots sell out regularly. Check the product page for current opening hours and to confirm whether your ticket includes fast-track entry.
