- jollies12Stockport, UK117 contributionsMake sure you book your tickets in advance as they sell out quickly. It’s not to be missed!
Great tour which the horrors of the goal are told with some humour thrown in.
Highly recommend you visitWritten 24 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s not just a museum, but an incredibly modern and experimental experience that goes beyond your typical brewery tour. The interactive displays and state-of-the-art technology really bring the history of Guinness to life in a fun and engaging way.
From learning about the brewing process to discovering the brand’s global impact, every floor offers something unique. The highlight for me was the Gravity Bar at the top, where you can enjoy a perfectly poured pint of Guinness with breathtaking panoramic views of Dublin.
If you’re a fan of Guinness or just curious about Ireland’s iconic stout, this place offers an exciting, immersive journey through its world-famous history. Definitely worth the visit!
This captures the modern, experimental vibe you mentioned while focusing on the interactive and memorable nature of the experience.Written 9 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah EChichester, UK29 contributionsBooked the Jamesons experience for my husband's 60th Birthday as he loves Jamesons. I am a non-whisky drinker. We both really enjoyed the time spent, the drink included in the ticket was a bonus, my husband had his Jameson's neat and I had the Whiskey, Ginger & Lime Cocktail which was delicious! Very interesting tour, great guide and tastings. We enjoyed a drink in the bar afterwards and made a few purchases in the gift shop although we felt this was a little limited and rather expensive. It would have been nice to be given a discount off of the Jamesons they had there. Would definitely recommend even if you don't drink Whiskey as there is something for everyone!Written 22 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- worktotravel14Trenton, NJ4,502 contributionsA beautiful haven amidst Dublin. Around every turn you might find a different style of garden, a water feature, some history, or a special piece of art. Be sure to walk its circumference. During my stay in Dublin this park was my early morning walk. I watched Dubliners from all parts of life enjoy the park, walking to work, and enjoyed all of the plant and animal life that was present throughout. I just felt it to be such a peaceful park where there is always somewhere to be by yourself knowing that the city surrounds you.Written 24 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rikard HGothenburg, Sweden4 contributionsAlan took very good care of us and showed us and told us the history and anecdotes about the Irish rock scene. Alan is inspiering and know his stuff.

- ShipahoyahoyPortsmouth, UK774 contributionsReally enjoyed this museum. A comprehensive telling of Irish emigration and the positive impact of Irish emigration on the rest of the world. Like many others, I made sure I stamped my "passport" at each display. Because I was booked on a tour of the Jeanie Johnston tall ship, just opposite EPIC, I broke my visit into two. So EPIC, Jeanie Johnston, EPIC. That worked really well for me. Found the display of fitting your "Entire life" into a suitcase very poignant. Very good use of visual images to enhance the displays in each section.Written 20 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Simon KPortsmouth, UK656 contributionsFun fact - If you want to taste your way through a huge range of Irish Whiskeys, and have already visited plenty of Distilleries in other countries, or maybe have just come off a good look around Jameson's or Teeling's, you don't need to go on a 23 Euros guided tour of Dublin's Irish Whiskey Museum to do just that!
The upstairs Whiskey Bar at the Museum, just across a busy main road from Trinity College, is open to anyone who just walks in off the street, and the knowledgeable Barman will point novices in the right direction, with plenty of helpful and impartial advice.
My evening in the congenial surroundings of the McDonnell's Whiskey Bar was not only educational and informative but also entertaining, as free live music was provided on Saturday night, when the bar stays open until 22:30 hours.
On the Barman's suggestion I began with the House 15 year-old Single Malt (a snip at EUR 16:50 or GBP 13:70) and moved on to the Connemara 22 y/o. Which is pretty much the last thing that I remember before waking up in my hotel room next morning with a slight headache!Written 5 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sightseer011190573901 contributionWe went on the Irish history tour which was guided by a brilliant host Pat. Very knowledgable guide and brought in some personal stories to his connection to Irish history. The tour itself was brilliant and Pat brought the whole story together very well would highly recommend.Written 22 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marizan LHermanus, South Africa51 contributionsSuch a gem within Dublin and it is FREE,.. I did the highlight tour and our guide was so knowledgable, friendly and a true asset to the museum. My 1 hour tour ended in me spending an additional 2 hours just walking around, visiting each exhibit, seeing the effort that goes into preserving each relic and the research behind it is truely astonishing. I will definitely be back,..Written 20 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
