If you love Guinness, do yourself a favor, find your favourite pub and have a pint! Unless you really care about how it is brewed it is not worth the 14euro admit(which includes a "free" pint), considering you can ONLY reach the souvenir area after purchasing entry. The gravity bar is ok' crowded but does supply a view of Dublin. More

As a non-beer drinker, I wasn’t too keen to going to the beer factory, however, I’m so glad I did. The factory is amazing, its 4 floors and the last floor has a huge observatory deck where you get a 360 view of the city. There is a self guided audio tour, where you learn all about how the beer...

You can't beat enjoying a pint of Guinness while gazing at the view of the city. The tour is your typical tour, but informative. The bar at the top is nothing the write home about, but you're there for the beer and the view. It was very crowded and there wasn't enough seating, so be prepared to stand, which isn't... More

Had great time going through the self tour. Great setup, seven levels, easy to get around and see everything. And the Guinness beer at the end in the top level bar, with the great view of Dublin, was nice ending. More

Come on, you're in Ireland - if you're a beer connoisseur you must visit this brewery. It has definitely been built to host tourists. The tour is great with lots of history and neat information. Of course the highlight is getting to drink your Guinness in the Gravity Bar at the top, with great views of Dublin. I would definitely... More

Went to the Guinness Storehouse yesterday and was waiting for the bus when we were attacked by kids throwing eggs at the tourists. We alerted the Guinness staff and no one did anything. No security appeared and the kids kept throwing eggs and banging on the busses. It was terrible. Guinness should do something. More

This place is a tourist trap. I was disappointed to learn that you didn't get to see any of the actual brewery or brewing process. We skipped the several floors of fluff about the brewing process (after being on several REAL brewery tours, there was no point), checked out the gallery of Guiness ads, and went to the Gravity Bar....

The self-guided tour was interesting, but the best part of a pint of Guinness is to enjoy it at one of the historic pubs. More

We'd heard of the Guinness brewery tours before visiting Dublin and if we hadn't every bus and taxi driver would have told us, so we went for a tour. Having done tours of other breweries and refineries, including Bushmills in Ireland, we knew we'd be given a short course in the craft of brewing beer. Nothing wrong there. But when... More
