Guinness Storehouse Experience
In 1759, Arthur Guinness signed a legendary 9,000-year lease for the St. James’s Gate site, establishing a dynasty that became synonymous with Ireland.
The Guinness Storehouse experience in Dublin is a 7-floor, self-guided journey through the history, brewing process, and branding of Guinness stout. It culminates in a complimentary pint at the panoramic Gravity Bar with 360° city views, offering interactive exhibits, tasting rooms, and a chance to learn to pour your own pint.
For all these reasons, the Guinness Storehouse is an immersive, award-winning attraction – both for beer / stout lovers, and general tourists alike, as alcohol-free Guinness 0.0 is also available as part of the Guinness brewery tour and experience.
