    We went there on Saturday afternoon and there were no lines. The museum was quite interesting, especially the old ads. The gravity bar was so full of people that we couldn´t really see outside at all so we took our pints and went a few floors down to sit and drink. I´m not normally a beer drinker so I had a little trouble to finish to whole pint :D

    Our trip to the Guinness Storehouse was limited to what we could see, and smell, from the rooftop of the Hop On Hop Off bus. At this early morning stop the bus nearly emptied, however we stayed on due to our limited time in Dublin.

    Must be one of the most popular spots in Dublin.

    Take a tour around the guinness brewery and guinness museum. Here they produce 2 and a half million pints of stout daily.
    Arthur Guinness was the founder in 1759 and at one time the largest brewery in the world.

    We really liked this place!many of you say,it´s so expensive and boring,but we liked a lot.One of best places we´ve been in Dublin.I didn´t even think it was expensive,because it was 12,50 € if booked in net(and then you could skip the line,and gio straight to info-desk to get your tickets)and the booking was valid for 30 days,so you didn´t even need to know when you were going.
    We thought that the place was interesting,and made in good taste.No wonder it paid that,and in the panorama-bar you got so big pint of Guiness,that I don´t understand why someone said "a little glass",maybe he took only that little glas witch was in "tasting room".But then he miseed the view,too.(In my last picture there´s a view from the bar)

  • If your on holiday in Dublin seeing the Guiness brewery is a must. Aside from the fact it
    is such a well know and historic landmark, if you do the self-guided tour you get to go to the
    SKYBAR! this alone makes the tour well worth it because you get a Pint of Guiness and a 360 degree view of the city from high above. So I conclude this review with Cheers!

    Probably the most famous location in Dublin, the Guinness Brewery at St James Gate is a little over-rated and over-touristed. The brewing process is interesting if you've never before visited a brewery, and the story of how Guinness was first (accidentally) made is interesting. The museum is certainly the most interesting part of your visit. Otherwise they are just trying to find unique and innovative ways to take your money. The souvenir shop is pricey and the restaurant is very expensive.

    The brewery was founded in 1759 and Guinness still brews 60% of the beer drunk in Ireland. By 1870, Guinness was (and still is!) the largest brewery in the world. No beer is brewed at the St James Gate Brewery today.

    Guinness Brewery: A drop of the black stuff

  • Booked this trip through Expedia when I booked my flights/hotel package and I am glad we did. The queue was around the block with people waiting to purchase tickets to go inside. Thankfully as we had a pre-booked ticket we were able to jump the queue and get straight on with the tour.

    For the tour it is best to allow for 2 hours as it comprises of 250 years of Guinness history—from the initial conception of its creator Arthur Guinness, to brewing, and finally to selling the product around the world. Learn what goes into making this famous pint.

    After the tour is over, head to the Gravity Bar to claim your complimentary pint of the black stuff (or if you're like me, a pint of coke) and contemplate a stunning 360-degree panorama over the roofs of Dublin.
