Avoid
The staff on the door and in the sky top bar were rude and aggressive. Overrated tourist trap - avoid - not family friendly
via Tripadvisor
Must do
This was fun, interesting to see the history behind the brand. Place was huge, great time. Highly recommend
via Viator
Not worth the hype
I suppose it’s cool to see where Guiness is made, if you’re really really into beer, but the whole “experience” was overpriced, overcrowded, confusing, and so incredibly loud with music you couldn’t really concentrate or take it in. Unless you are super into Guiness, I’d skip this entirely
via Viator
Fresh Guiness from the source.
Very informative. Fresh Guiness tastes best. Had a chance to see live Irish dancing and music. Food options were delicious. Great way to spend a few hours on a Dublin visit!

Interesting and Enjoyable
Very interesting, self-guided tour! Visually pleasing and informative learning experience! The view at the top is worth the price of admission.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guinness Storehouse Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Guinness Storehouse Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $42 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guinness Storehouse Experience take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is Guinness Storehouse Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5,737 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guinness Storehouse Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guinness Storehouse Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guinness Storehouse Experience?
+
Around 2,008 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guinness Storehouse Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Guinness Storehouse Experience?
+
Included: 1 pint of Guinness or soft drink; Admission to the Guinness Storehouse; 1 soft drink for each child under 18 years; and Car parking - Subject to availability on a first come first serve basis. Not included: Food and beverages not listed as inclusions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Guinness Storehouse Experience?
+
Departure Point: Guinness Storehouse, Dublin Address: St James's Gate, Dublin 8, Ireland Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Guinness Storehouse Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Guinness Storehouse Experience?
+

+
