Brought a group of visitiors from Wales over to this as it is Ireland biggest tourist attraction. Very disapointing. Split over several levels all accessible via winding stairs this is not for the physically challenged. found the whole thing very boring. Toursits feel they 'have' to come herwe but you would be better off going into a local pub and... More

A BBC presenter once likened the Storehouse to being Dublin's best theme park, and he probably has a point. I say this happens to be one of the best designed walkthrough presentations you'll ever encounter for a consumer product. The first two floors are given over to describing the history of the Guinness brewery as well as the process of... More

A worthy pilgrimage for any Guinness devotee. We learned a few interesting facts, but it was basically a large, long advertisement. The building design was cool, and the gift shop was fun. Must go to the 7th floor to have your free pint with panoramic views of Dublin- that was awesome! More

The Gravity bar is an amazing space and, in my opinion, worth the 13 euro admission price. The gift shop here also has the best selection of Guinness merchandise anywhere in Dublin. As for the "experience," it is a sorry excuse for not offering a real factory tour. The exhibits all have a cheap Epcot or state fair ambience and... More

This was my second time visiting the Guinness Storehouse and my first time for my wife. We enjoyed the self-guided tour. We wish we could actually see the company make Guinness, but that was not part of the tour. More

It was a great experience. The store house locates 10 minutes taxi drive from city center. 7 floor museum gives you an detailed information on Guinness. The bar at the 7th floor is a must see with a stunning Dublin view. We found the 14euro entrance fee quite expensive though but still one of the highlights of our visit to... More

Great place to go! It was everything I'v been told and more. It's the perfect place to go if you like Guinness, but if you don't drink it, you can't miss this. You will enjoy it also!!! More

A good self paced tour of the Storehouse which we enjoyed even though we don't drink Guinness. However we didn't think we could not pay a visit to at least one brewery while in Ireland! The view from the top great - unfortunate there were too many children running around. More
