Guinness Storehouse, Dublin (must see)
Arguably Dublin's most popular tourist destination, the Guinness Storehouse is a multimedia celebration of all things Guinness, housed within a converted grain storehouse nestled within the 26-hectare brewery grounds. Across its seven floors, visitors are treated to a comprehensive exploration of Guinness and the brewery's storied history, complete with interactive exhibits and insights into the art of mastering the famous two-part pour.
Any doubts or reservations you may harbor about the modern-day marketing and hype surrounding Guinness are swiftly laid to rest upon reaching the pinnacle of the building – the circular Gravity Bar. Here, you're rewarded with a complimentary glass of Guinness, served with breathtaking panoramic views of the city. And let's not beat around the bush – the Guinness itself? Let's just say it's as close to beer perfection as you can get.
For the true aficionados, there's the Connoisseur Experience, where you'll have the opportunity to sample four distinct varieties of Guinness – Draught, Original, Foreign Extra Stout, and Black Lager – all while soaking in their fascinating backstories from your designated bartender.
As if that wasn't enough, there are additional add-ons like the STOUTie – think latte art, but with stout – where a surprisingly accurate likeness of yourself is skillfully drawn in the creamy head of your pint. It's strictly for the 'gram, of course, but hey, who doesn't love a good photo op?
