Guinness Review

Guiness Land places absolutely a must for beer lovers.
Very well done visit with an intuitive route.
There is the history of this famous mythical Guiness beer, you will learn how to serve a pint there as well as to taste it (included in the ticket). Very beautiful places.

I highly recommend that you go and visit this place steeped in history.

An expensive 7-store building with advertising purpose only.

Great experience very interesting, staff are lovely and very helpful

Ok I know some 'professional' guides give the tour only one star BUT if you're a Guinness fan, the included tasting plus the lesson on how to pour a perfect pint is really without compare, because it the nitrogen difference (you learn about that on the tour). It's self guided so you can go as fast or slow as you want, and includes a free pint you can redeem at any one of several locations inside the tour.

If you're a fan of stout beer, this is a must while you're in Dublin. Guinness has a deep history in Dublin and it makes a great experience. You can learn how to pour the perfect Guinness or go to the top and get a sight of the city.

It is very commercialized but I wouldn't let that stop one from checking it out.

Great if your a Guiness fan...if not just another brewery with food and souveniers

More than a exhibition, plenty of interactive activities best place to taste a fresh Guiness with local delicious food in this huge mall dedicated to the famous Irish national drink. Enjoy

What a disappointment. Maybe I was misguided but there was no tour here. Just a bunch of levels dedicated to old Guinness advertising, gift shops and lame cafes. The redeeming part: pouring your own pint in level 5 and taking the lift to the Gravity Bar in level 7, which does have a sick view of Dublin.

Nice place to visit, though maybe a bit overpriced and overhyped. It's better to drink your free beer at 4th floor where you can try yourself as a barman than at the overcrowded top od the building.

Well, I certainly didn't expect to spend four hours there! Absolutely great!

Great tour, great beer :) We had lunch on the 5th floor and it was very good!

Dublin's best visit in terms of distilleries and wineries ... Superb organization, audio with the most spoken languages, impressive facilities, latest technology, a Guinness workshop and exclusive views of the city from the gravity bar. A 100% complete visit

A must-see place for every self-respecting beer drinker. An entry fee of 20 euros entitles you to visit as many as 7 floors of the museum, where each of them has many different attractions, such as the history of the brewery, production technology, tasting and recognition techniques, and free tastings at the very end. I honestly recommend!

Six floors of museum set-up in the historic Guinness Brewery Council to take the audio guide, also in Italian. It is part of Dublin's tourist attractions. The museum is however well done, it tells how beer is produced, in all its phases. The ticket price includes a beer or other drink tasting. There are three large bars. The one on the top floor offers a beautiful panoramic view of the city.

Definitely worth a visit but if you have been to other breweries before (such as Heineken) it much of the same. Great venue situated in the factory. Plenty of opportunities to drink as you make your way around. Make sure you make it up to the gravity bar for the best view of Dublin. Also a number of restaurants, some with live music.

Nice to see the history and origins but the tour was busy and nice to see many pepole about.. Worth the money plus much cheaper to drink then other parts eg temple bar but it's worth visiting these places

An unusual place that will immerse you in the Guinness universe. A gigantic blind and several floors to discover this legendary beer, with a lavatory worthy tasting in Charlie and the chocolate factory, and a diploma awarded by the Guinness Academy, which will teach you how to fill your pint. finish with a tasting of this one on the top floor with a 360 degree view of the city. The price of the visit (20 approx.) Is worth the detour.

Pretty cool place! For someone (me) who does not drink or has no real interest in Guinness it was actually very interesting! I was surprised just how much was in there. Prices were a bit steep despite the fact you get a free drink it was still an expensive ticket.

Fantastic tourists attraction.The museum trip starts from the ground floor and than using escalators you go up.Not for the faint hearted. Lovely little pub will be waiting for u at the top.Famous people being there such as Muhhamad Ali and Obama.

Excellent demonstration of how Guinness is brewed, great views of the city from the top floor viewing platform.

Best part was having a pint in the gravity bar at the end. Though very crowded. Nicest pint of Guinness you will have. 20 per person to see a tour consisting of videos a little steep. You are not touring a brewery so you will not see Guinness being made. Children under 10 are free. We went Sat evening. At that time Prepare for overcrowding and chaotic procession through the self guided tour.

If you are visiting Dublin, this is a mandatory place to go. It's a great tour through the history of Guinness, ending with a fresh pint with a view of all of Dublin.

I loved this visit, although the Guiness beer at the end they give you with the entrance was a bit strong for me

Private event awesome! Just a cool place to visit. Great food and fresh beer!!!

The alcohol is given twice. One shot in the middle and one glass from the top or bottom layer.
The program itself is not interesting, but the Guinness I eat from the top floor was pretty good.

I went 10 years ago and came back now. It is even better than before. This beer is all that is good, and the experience of the tour is worth it. Two tips: the audio guide is 2 euros and is good, you can rent one and share; to buy the ticket you can use the app getyourguide that has quotas (on the web it appears as sold out on several sites) and you also do not make the queue time outside.

Great experience. Lots of things to do.
Was skeptical due to the price but it was so worth it!
Great tasting fresh Guinness.

Definitely recommend eating at the restaurant.
The stew was excellent and the oysters so fresh & creamy!

Very great touristic experience to do when in Dublin. An adult ticket includes a pint of beer and a tasting size guiness.

Stylish museum that is like walking through one big ad for Guinness. Which is fine. However, no opportunity to sit down, no benches, chairs, anything...if you have trouble standing up for a long time, you will probably not enjoy the experience too much

Nice Tour with lots of interesting facts. If you're interested more in the history of the Guinness Brewery and not so much in the actual brewing process, then this is the place for you. Each and every commercial, poster and beer glass are displayed. There's a tasting area, a bar on the roof and a shop for all your merch needs. You can also reserve a timeslot for fun excursion on how to draft a perfect pint. It's not the actual brewery, since it moved away from St. James Gate, when they needed more space. All in all very recommendable!

This is my first visit to a beer factory. There are a lot of activities compared to what I expected from a mere brewery. Very nice presentation of the company as a whole and its entire activity. Broken down clearly into stages in order to gradually and sequentially introduce the non beer aficionado to the world of Guiness.

Been three times and it never gets old. So much to do here no matter why your in Dublin. Definitely a must visit.

The views at the bar at the top are great, it can get very busy however! Aurther's bar on level 5 does great food and often has live music. The taste bar on level 2 does free samples every hour on the hour and often has live performances too!

This time we paid extra to do the experience, which was a lot of fun. The guy running it was really helpful, answered all questions and had a bit of banter.

Massive experience of which I am sorry for having paid and to steal 25 which is not worth it. The visit is like intuitive, although it is well armed for tourism it is necessary to do it only following the arrows and directives.
I did not like anything, the only thing that I liked is that they give to try 3 glasses of different varieties of beer (among the 3 they would make a pint)
Nice the bar on the top floor that can be seen between nudges and shoves due to the overload of people the city with beautiful views

Guinness was impressive amazing building and experience it s very funny and you learn about all process of beer especially why the Guinness it s darkness s and more interesting.., and how the company helps the poor people in Ireland contribute to school, hospital and much more ... to recommend waiting for you pint in the gravity bar the views are incredible

Spent the whole afternoon here with my wife and daughter. Seven floors of fun! Lots to do here. I enjoyed gettingto know more about the history of Guinness and of Dublin. I particularly enjoyed the display that featured footage of a master Cooper making a barrel (cask) by hand. My wife and I had fun learning to pull a perfect pint while our daughter, who is not of drinking age, shot video. We also greatly enjoyed imbibing said perfect pint on the seventh floor with it's 360 degree views of Dublin. Lunch was fair though the fish of the fish and chips was overly greasy and the chips were undercooked. The stew was better. Staff were uniformly pleasant and helpful. Prices are on the steep side and the 25 to enter (free for 12 and under) is kinda rough. I understand you can get discounted tickets online ahead of time, which saves 7.50 and is a good deal, particularly since entry includes a pint of Guinness. The tour part is not highly structured, you can wander around and do things in whatever order you choose. You're not really seeing a working brewery, though, just a representation of it. Finally, the nearby free carpark does fill up but if you hang out, you may get in as they will let new cars in as other cars leave.

Commercial. But well created tour. Do not expect old rooms or anything, its like las vegas.

It's nice looking place, but overall quite boring. Recommend going earlier, so you can appreciate the city view in day light, and while all the restaurants are open ( we went at 5 p.m.) If you hesitate whether you should go, don't go, nothing important to miss here

Great place to get an idea of how the excellent Guinness is made, to know details of the history of the company as well as drinking excellent beer, of course.

Too much people. Too much tourism and marketing. Few old machines and a lot of videos. Really moderately interesting besides being expensive 25 euros with a beer.

... a special experience, a journey through history, perhaps a little too commercial ...

Unmissable step during a trip to Ireland. The museum is 7 storeys high and you can enjoy a free Guinness pint on one of Dublin's highest points.

Fantastic place corresponding to the history of the famous Guinness beer

Amazing building, history and presentation. But if you start at 5 like we did which they said was a fine time to come in, you are in a sprint to the end to get your free beer and view. They start closing everything down at 545. Give yourself more time. The trip was saved by their staff who bent rules to get us a great experience.

If you like Guinness this is the place to visit.

It is definitely worth to pay for the connoisseur experience. The tasting last for almost 2 hours and it's only 12-14 people. The bar VIP bar i really nice.

They have a huge store where you buy more or less everything with with a Guinness logo.

It's 5 star with the connoisseur experience and 3 star without.

Great place, so much to see and do. It is not essential to like Guinness as they have other products. The sky bar offers amazing views of the City, we had a great day.

They've invested a lot of money into making the visit smooth and interesting for large volumes of people. They've succeeded.

Definetly, the most interesting place in Dublin. Unique experience, with actual beer drinking in the end.

Excellent place. Whole story about guiness are amazing. Despite the fact that taste is above everything, whole academy arranged very intereting. Museum contains a lot of interesting story about beers ingrediens and way of making it!! On the top of the museum roof, there are very interesting pub with fresh beer and town overview is fantastic. We attended the celebration and the U2 tribute bank had very popula performance more that 3 hours in Bono town!! All in all, it worth each penny!!!

The tour I found boring. But the gravity bar is what made it for me. Attend during the early evening of winter for a different look to the city.

Definitely worth at least one visit. More of a museum feel than a brewery though. Self guided tour wasn't that interesting

Despite my distaste for beer, Guiness was a great hit! Even without enjoying the product, everything you can learn about its making and everything you see will make you love and feel the visit. Always packed with people but really worth it.

Couldn t recommend this more! We bought a skip the queue of tripadvisor and it was the best investment as the lines here can get very long.
We strolled through the museum and storehouse and after taking in almost all the knowledge we were greeted up top with a pint of Guinness and the beer view of Dublin one could want.
Can t wait to return one day!

This was an awesome outting. The employees were all great!

This place has so much opportunity to be great, but the tour, for the most part, is terrible. Go in with that expectation and you'll be happier.

This was my second time on the tour (first one was 15 years ago). There continues to be a fair amount of rah rah corporate messaging/grandstanding, which I found distasteful. The three best things about the tour (in order) is: 1) the pint of beer at the gravity bar on the top floor. 2) the video explaining how beer barrels were made. 3) the tasting room (if you have allergies, watch out for the visible mold on some of the smelling bowls).

Guinness, consider allowing visitors to taste the original recipe and then compare it to the current version (nitrogen wasn't instituted in the beer until the 60s, but the tour leaves out that point and instead strongly implies the beer has remained exactly the same since the founding).

Some of the advertisements were neat, but it's very dialed back in terms of what Guinness could have done with them. The biggest complaint I have about the tour is that there's also a fundamental lack of true history about the Brewery. Any history provided is very cursory.

I suggest getting there early to beat the rush. Go straight to the gravity bar upstairs. Then work downward (which is backwards, but you'll get the best part first and potentially beat the crowd)

There is free parking, but it's about a block and a half away. Elderly and the disabled can be dropped off at the entrance.

Have been here twice and it's still such fun. I'm not even a big beer drinker but the tour is definitely worth the stop. Beat part is the rooftop bar with 360 views of Dublin. Must visit when in town.

Superb experience, we learn a lot about this iconic brand

Brilliant experience and plenty of interactive stuff to keep you busy. Cracking view of Dublin from the Sky bar as well - perfect place to enjoy drinking Guinness

Huge building, nice tour. Learning more about Guiness Marketing and advertising than the beer. Bit of history included too. Shop and sky bar available. Long queues at times - can be avoided buying online beforehand.

Amazing day out. . Great tour, fun, interesting and tasted the finest Guinness I've ever had. Gravity bar has the views of Dublin City.

Excellent interactive visit which you can not miss during your visit to Dublin. 100% recommended for all audiences, even for those who are not very fond of beer

I was quite reluctant to got the Guinness storehouse and believed it wouldn t have met my expectations. It s safe to say that it in fact exceeded my expectations. The storehouse has a plethora of information for those completely unknown to the brewing process and details why and how Guinness and other beers are different from one another. The aesthetics of the storehouse is great. If you go to the storehouse, please book in advance and online otherwise the tickets are too overpriced in my opinion.

After you pour your own Guinness you can take it with you to wherever you please, but the bar at the top may be extremely overcrowded so be wary. The Guinness store is also great with a lot of and every kind of merchandise.

Very beautifull!! Not going there is a crime !! A fantastic visit. With the ability to tap your own Guinness.

The price is worth the visit, drinking a pint at km 0 tapped by myself is priceless

One of the greatest museum experiences money can buy. Must do in Dublin!

This tour is self guided so it's not an in depth look at the Guinness making process unless you really take the time given the crowds and how much there is to do. Be sure to give yourself time to enjoy a meal there (several choices), tastings, drinking your pint at the Gravity Bar with almost 360 views across Dublin and the extensive gift shop.

PRE-BOOK your TICKETS!!!! You will get in much quicker as there was quite a cue when we went. Long walk from city centre. Adult ticket 20, student ticket 18 (they will ask for your student card). You get a free Guinness included in your ticket price which you can use in any of the bars in the storehouse. There are places for coffee and food inside. Probably spend about 2 hours in there. It's a self guided tour so you can walk around freely and go at your own pace. It talks about the history and making of Guinness, there advertising and other cool facts. On the very top floor there is the "sky bar" with 360 view of Dublin. Enjoyable but I wouldn't recommend for kids.

What can I say brilliant place, fantastic layout, informative and a sense of pride in the product and it's history. Well worth the price, never pulled a pint of the dark stuff till today.
I can only say five of us spoke of our heritage growing up on Jamaican Guinness Punch. Yep we use a bottle of Guinness in it
. Google it peeps. I was surprised no one heard of it here, it's passed the lips of every Jamaican person on the planet
staff are fab and very sociable well worth 20 euros. Thank you

I was expecting something really "touristy" (and it is) but it was also really interesting. However, it is most enjoyable if you are interested in the details and not deterred by a lot of reading. A lot of great Irish history told through the lense of Guinness. Not suitable for families I think but if you don't have you're kids with you, go

No trip to Dublin would be complete without a visit to the world famous brewery at St. Jame's gate. Fantastic experience

To taste, literally, this museum must be an admirer of the beer in particular of the ax. In fact the museum is well structured and tells the story of Ireland's most important commercial success, but if you don't taste the main product something is missing. The cost is certainly important, 20 euros, so carefully evaluated

100% awesome. Your is great and ends with pints at the top with 360 degree views of Dublin. Will definitely do this again.
