Guinness Storehouse and a pint in the Gravity Bar

Self-guided visit · 90 min · from €26 · seven floors about stout and a pint with views over Dublin

€26 adult
Duration
1 h 30
Season
All year
Who it's for
All ages; under-18s must be with an adult and get a soft drink instead of beer

The old fermentation plant of the St James's Gate brewery is now a seven-floor tour about how Guinness is made, its history and its advertising. You go round on your own, at your own pace, in an hour and a half at the very least. At the top, in the glass-walled Gravity Bar, you get your pint included, with the city at your feet; if you don't drink, there is Guinness 0.0 or a soft drink.

Buy online: it is cheaper than at the ticket desk and in season the time slots sell out. Children can go in with an adult (ages 5 to 17 pay €10; under-4s pay nothing) and get a soft drink; the building is accessible with a pushchair. It is in The Liberties district, about 25 minutes' walk from Trinity College; the Dublin Express coach stops nearby, at Usher's Quay.
