Lonely Planet review for Guinness Storehouse

Like Disneyland for beer lovers, the Guinness Storehouse is an all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza combining sophisticated exhibits with more than a pintful of marketing. The highlight of a visit to the museum – housed in an old grain store opposite the original St James’s Gate Brewery – is a glass of Guinness in the Gravity Bar at the top of the building.

    Number 1 destination in Dublin to see!

    dinoo1898 recommends this,

    After an amazing tour trough whole production process you'll experience beautiful Dublin sightseeing from the top of the storehouse where you'll be served with a pint of Guinness.

    As a Dubliner I can't believe the Guinness Tour ranks only 126th place of things to do in Europe.

    This is brilliant for all types of people of all ages. It is educational and interesting and a really authentic feeling experience. It is also the place where you can get your token shots of your visit to Dublin - the Guinness Gates and the Waterfall (see attached).
    Of course once you have worked your way up the several floors, looked at all the history, processes, advertising campaigns and had a taste of the stuff, you will be thirsty - which is why reaching the top of the tower and claiming your pint of Guiness can be very rewarding! However, I then found out I was not a particular fan of the stuff! Oh well, it was worth a try! I did notice that many people spent a good few hours up in the bar, and were pretty merry (perhaps the altitude helped as well!) so it would be a good place to go to start a night out. It was a great panoramic view of Dublin at the top and a lot of photo oportunities, like the Eiffel Tower of Dublin ;o)

    Worth it for the pint at the top alone

    The Guinness Factory is very entertaining. Learnt a bit, a lot of fun looking exhibits.
    It is very slick. It lacks that 'raw' 'brewery-type' feel. All shiny surfaces and polished perspex. And the price does seem on the steep side.
    All is forgiven when you get to the top however. The Guinness tastes fantastic, and the view over the city is equally as good.
