    Whiskey, Cocktails and Great Hospitality

    We spontaneously decided to visit the ROE & Co Distillery without knowing much about whiskey or what to expect. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. Tim greeted us at the reception and explained the different tour options. We really liked that there are two different experiences to choose from: one tour including a whiskey tasting and another featuring a cocktail workshop. It is clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating experiences for different tastes, especially for those who may not be big whiskey lovers. As it was a quiet day, we were lucky enough to have a private tour with Deano. He adapted the tour perfectly to our level of knowledge and explained everything from the history of the distillery to the whiskey-making process in a very interesting and easy-to-understand way. Then came the cocktail workshop, which was not only informative but also a lot of fun. We learned plenty while enjoying ourselves at the same time. At the end of the tour, we were taken to the public bar inside the distillery, where we enjoyed another perfectly mixed cocktail. Since the bar is open to the public, we decided to come back another afternoon and work our way through the cocktail menu. Deano and Tim recognized us straight away and gave us some fantastic cocktail recommendations. They also helped us choose the right whiskey to take home. This is definitely a place where not only whiskey lovers can have a great time. We ladies had just as much fun with all the delicious cocktails! We highly recommend both the cocktail workshop tour and the bar and would happily come back the next time we are in Dublin.

    THE Dublin Dram Experience!

    We've done all the distillery experiences in Dublin and this is by far the best! It's the only one that has a lab where you can concoct your own libation. Also, the only one where you learn not just about their whiskey (which is excellent) but about the history of whiskey making by all the distilleries that operated in Dublin from its not-do-humble beginnings as THE whiskey producing city in the world 🌎 to its status today. HIGHLY recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Beyond the Blend Tour is WORTH IT!

    LOVE LOVE LOVED the Roe & Co's Beyond the Blend tour!! It's such a great value for the money (we bought ours as a combo with the Guinness Storehouse Tour- also highly recommended), and the Roe & Co distillery was our favorite part of the whole experience! Oisin was a great tour guide- very knowledgeable and fun, and of all the bourbon/whiskey/wine tastings we've done over the years across the US/UK, this is by far my favorite! You get three whiskeys to try + a cocktail that they teach you how to make with whiskey that isn't available for retail + confections made by a Michelin star chef who exclusively works for this distillery + a fourth whiskey to try at their bar that's only available in their distillery! It was so much whiskey and fun for the price! I even enjoyed the tour and whiskey so much that it's the only place from my 2-week UK trip that I purchased a full bottle to take home. Cannot recommend this tour and distillery enough!

    Response from the operator: Hi Jessica! Thank you for the LOVE LOVE LOVE! ❤️ We’re absolutely delighted to hear that the Beyond the Blend tour was the highlight of your two-week trip, and even more delighted that you chose to take a little piece of Roe & Co home with you! It sounds like Oisín kept the whiskey flowing and the good times going! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. We’re thrilled you enjoyed exploring the different whiskeys, getting hands-on with the cocktail-making, and discovering some of the special treats and pours that you can only experience at the distillery. Thank you for such a detailed and enthusiastic recommendation. We hope that bottle brings back some great Dublin memories , and that we’ll see you again someday! 🥃

    Roe & Co Distillery Experiences: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.

    How much does Roe & Co Distillery Experiences cost?

    +

    Prices start at $32 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 Roe & Co Distillery Experiences take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.3 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 Roe & Co Distillery Experiences worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,224 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Roe & Co Distillery Experiences?

    +

    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 Roe & Co Distillery Experiences suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Roe & Co Distillery Experiences?

    +

    Around 428 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 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Roe & Co Distillery Experiences 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 Roe & Co Distillery Experiences?

    +

    Included: Blending or Flavours Experience; Bespoke Roe & Co cocktail in the Power House Bar; and Guided tour (English only) at Roe & Co Distillery. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Roe & Co Distillery Experiences?

    +

    The experience starts at Roe & Co Distillery, 92 James's Street, Dublin 8, Dublin, Ireland. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Roe & Co Distillery Experiences offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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 Roe & Co Distillery Experiences?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Roe & Co Distillery Experiences wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Roe & Co Distillery Experiences if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
