The Guinness Storehouse

To many Dublin is the heart and soul of Ireland, and Guinness is at the heart of the city itself. So a trip to this vibrant capital is not complete without a visit to the home of Guinness and Ireland’s number one visitor attraction – Guinness Storehouse.

At Guinness Storehouse you’ll discover all there is to know about the world’s most famous beer. A dramatic story that begins 250 years ago and ends…where else - in the Gravity bar with a complimentary pint of the black stuff.

This £30million visitor experience brings to life one of the world's most iconic brands. Located at the heart of St. James’s Gate Brewery, the seven floors are designed around a central glass atrium mirroring the shape of a pint of Guinness. Floor by floor, visitors take a surprising journey through the past, present and future of the world’s greatest beer. They discover the ingredients, the process, the time, the craft and the passion that goes into every pint.

Since opening in November 2000, Guinness Storehouse has attracted over 4 million visitors from every corner of the globe. Its grand design and unique features continue to excite and intrigue as well as ensuring that visitors return time and again. A favourite with every visitor is the Gravity bar - located above the roof (in the head of the pint glass), Gravity is the highest bar in Dublin. While relaxing with their pint, visitors can sit back and enjoy uninterrupted 360ยบ panoramic views across Dublin City and its hinterland.

The year 2006 has seen much development at Guinness Storehouse, this began in January with the revealing of impressive new additions to the visitor experience. €2.5 Million was invested by Guinness® Storehouse in the development, which saw a new wing opening to the public complete with a live installation of the modern day Guinness Brewing process.

This four night tour is the perfect vacation for travelers looking for an energetic trip or for a long weekend in the Emerald Isle. Maximizing the time is the key to this short excursion incorporating visits to Limerick, Killarney, Blarney and Dublin and is the perfect pace to visit the major sites of Ireland. There is plenty of time to enjoy the nightlife of these famous cities and spend some time shopping, at the pubs and enjoying traditional Irish music!
