Experience
Guinness Storehouse is Ireland’s top visitor attraction located in the heart
of the Guinness Brewery at St James’s Gate. Housed in an old fermentation
plant, now the seven-storey visitor experience tells the story of this world
famous drink. It is a dramatic story that begins over 250 years ago and ends
in Gravity Bar, where visitors will receive a complimentary pint of Guinness
while relaxing and enjoying spectacular views over Dublin.
The adventure begins the moment you walk through the door and into the
building’s giant, pint-shaped heart of glass. As you wander through Guinness
Storehouse, you’ll discover what goes into making the “Black Stuff” – the
ingredients, the process, the passion.
Visitor information map available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish,
