Guinness Storehouse tickets and visit planning
Compare the activities included in each booking before choosing a slot. A visit centered on the exhibitions differs from one with an additional tasting or guided element, especially if your group has mixed interests. The visitor entrance is on Market Street South, away from the main road. Build in time for that final approach rather than aiming to arrive at the brewery gates.

Guinness Storehouse tickets and tours
Standard self-guided admission
This suits visitors who want to move through the exhibitions at their own pace. Check the current inclusions and drink choices on the official booking page.
Admission with a tasting experience
Choose an option with an additional tasting if you want more focus on the drink itself. Check the duration, age requirements and meeting arrangements before booking.
Guided visit
A guided option suits visitors who prefer a set route and commentary. Check whether the booking leaves time afterwards for independent exploring and the upper-floor views.

Guinness Storehouse tickets and visit planning
Is this a tour of the working brewery?
The Storehouse is a visitor attraction with exhibitions about Guinness. Do not assume standard admission includes access to the working brewery's production areas.
Can someone who does not drink enjoy the visit?
The exhibitions cover brewing, advertising and the brand's history. Check the current non-alcoholic drink choices and ticket inclusions before booking.
Which entrance should I use?
Head to the visitor entrance on Market Street South. The surrounding brewery occupies several streets, so a route to a general brewery gate may leave you misplaced.
Should I book extra time for a tasting?
Yes, allow for the scheduled activity as well as the exhibitions. Read your booking's duration and meeting instructions before arranging your next stop.
