If you enjoy beer, this place is mandatory in Dublin. I had a good time learning a little bit more about the brewery history. The exhibitions are interactive what makes you want spend a lot of time listening and reading the information. I suggest to buy the audio guides, it's only 1 euro and makes you understand everything clearer. They offer an opportunity to pour your own free pint at the end of the visit. There's a magnificent view of Dublin at the higher level. There's also restaurants if you need to lunch or brunch, it's a bit expansive but I won't take one star out for it once the price they practice is related to the experience they offer. I appreciate so much being part of this. Lastly the Guiness shop, almost impossible to get out without buying anything.

Unmissable place in Dublin, really very well done and interactive, the downsides: prepaid tickets do not have a line to them so they are regularly taken from the line
'' classic '' 'to pass in front of everyone, the audio guides are very well done but I would have liked headphones rather than a
'' phone'' .
Finally, the bar at the top is good but so crowded that we didn't have a chance to see the windows, it's a shame they didn't set up an 'ambulatory' to go around before arise. In short, do it, take the time because the tour is great but with a few things to improve.

Very overpriced for the experience. A lot of big displays to tell the simple story of using barley, yeast and water to make Guiness. The store, of course, was also huge and there were signs everywhere reminding you to stop and shop. There were no sights of the actual brewing process...guess that's done elsewhere. Very disappointed.

Absolute tourist trap and super expensive for what you get.
Not much of a museum as you don't get so see the actual process or machinery or anything.
Instead you get plenty of propaganda of how great of a company it is.
Absolutely no educational value.
The view on the city from the overly crowded sky bar is nice though.

Ok so basically you pay 20 to walk past monitors that are blocked by crowds of people that tell you how to brew guiness beer in consecutive stages - you'd learn the same studying Wikipedia for 20 minutes. You have your free guiness at the end which is ok. Go there if you're easily entertained otherwise get drunk in any pub in the city using that money. Cheers folks

Although it's a bit touristy, still worth visiting to learn about the history and brewing of Guinness. Once you get to the top, enjoy a well earned pint (included in ticket price) and take in the panoramic view.

The best place ever! You can learn all about making beer, Guinness's history and propaganda. Also, in the end, you can craft your very on pint of Guinness. The bar has an amazing view of Dublin, that you can enjoy while drinking a pint.

Awesome! To optimise the amount of Guinness you can have you should hold on to your ticket for a free pint until the sky bar. Pay with cash for the other two floors. Also pouring your own Guinness is totally worth it

The Guinness storehouse was a fun experience.

The Guinness storehouse was a fun experience.
But since it was very technical and basically just a walk though, it seemed to be quite pricy.

The rooftop bar was cool but also quite over crowded. Nevertheless a good option for a cold day.

Excellent the Guinness Storehouse! Tour entertaining and excellent the explanation with the audio guide of the history and elaboration! Best to end up having a pint on the top floor with a panoramic view of all of Dublin! Highly recommended!

Very nicely done marketing action (do not understand in the negative sense!). Elaborately and attractively designed. Bay in any case online, for students, the surcharge in the store 3.50 (!) To the already comparatively high entrance fee of 18 (for students). But: a PINT is included :). But you should have already seen!

This place is a must! We thought we would just skip the tour and hit up the Gravity Bar, and I am so glad we opted for the self guided tour. Well worth the money and get your cameras out, as this place is picture perfect

It was a lovely Irish brewery experience. Anyone coming to Dublin should try it and see how the Guiness brand came to be. Just have in mind that even though the 360 degree of the Gravity bar is awesome, it being always full to the brim with people makes it less enjoyable.

Probably worth going once. Overpriced for the experience. Felt very "Disney". But some interesting exhibitions and the gravity bar at the top is cool, albeit very crowded to get a seat to enjoy your much needed Guinness!

There is never a shortage of fun here. One time the Auburn University marching band was playing in the main foyer after the St. Patrick's Day parade. Another time there was live Irish music in a great hall with beautiful views of Dublin. The top floor always has good panoramic vistas and the history is even more interesting after stopping for lunch or having a pint.

To be honest, I didn't have a lot or expectations about this place... However, it was absolutely amazing! Fascinating history.

Two and a half hours later there were still things to see, read and learn about. Would highly highly recommend!!

Meh. High priced and overrated but I"m impressed that a global corp can build so many floors dedicated to a six step process that most people can do in a basement and can be shown in a single room. Wiki, barley, hops, yeast, mashing, fermenting, filtering then go to a pub. Same effect. View at the very top was good except for the hundreds of people sitting and standing in the way. Disney would be proud of the place.

The Guinness Storehouse is huge, there's a lot of things to see and experience! In can spend half day there and it might not be enough. You get to learn the process of fabrication and the history, walk along several different rooms, try different beers and, at the end, you can just enjoy a fresh pint of Guinness at the rooftop with the most wonderful view!

Really enjoyed this place! It's definitely not jam-packed with information if that's what you're into, but some great displays and photo-ops and some really neat tech exhibits. The free drink on the top bar with the stunning views doesn't hurt either! I don't really like Guinness, but I loved my time here!

Visiting the home of Guinness and learning everything about the history of the black stuff, to how it is brewed, the advertising throughout the years, learning to pull the perfect pint in the academy and receiving my certificate for my achievement.
We then had food on the fifth floor and the Guinness bread was superb to compliment the Guinness stew.
The final stop is the gravity bar where you receive your complimentary pint of Guinness while enjoying one of the best the views of Dublin from the wall to floor Windows that wrap around the bar to give you a superb 360
View. What a great place to visit

If you are short on time in Dublin, this is definitely one of the place you should consider visiting. You ll learn all about how the world famous Guinness is brewed, and more ! The pub on the 5th floor is good craic, especially during weekends as they play live music.

A place that must be visited precisely. I traveled about 2 hours. A separate story on every floor. Every story is very special, how the birds are made, how the barrels are made. When you go to the 7th floor, you will have 360 degree view of Dublin. Get fresh fresh guinness (including 1 beer cube) and enjoy the view.
IMPORTANT: Obtain your ticket 1 day in advance from the internet. If you take it from the door you pay 4-5 .

In any case you should book the tickets online beforehand. The snake is very long if you want to buy the map on the spot. At the beginning of the museum, the crowd is still quite large. A little further inside, it then runs. Overall, it is very nice with attention to detail

Self-guided tour through a VERY busy place. We bought tickets online in advance, allowing us to go through the turnstiles quickly and get upstairs. The most of the first floor is a giant gift shop. The host gives a 5 minute intro and then sends you in for a self-guided walkthrough up multiple floors, ending with drinks up at the top. The top floors were incredibly busy (even though it was early in the day), and it was hard to find anywhere to sit. The views are nice, but the room was crowded and windows were super dirty - so not a great place for photos - but a good place to orient yourself to Dublin. Glad we went, though this didn't compare to other brewery tours we've experienced around the world (in comparison to others, I would rate it only 3 stars, but on it's own for what it was, 4). I wouldn't go again - it's a been there done that kind of experience, but still worth while.
