Guinness Storehouse: Which Ticket to Book, and What Is Included?
Updated October 13, 2026 · 5 min read
For most visitors, the Guinness Storehouse entry ticket is the right one: €37 per person, 4.7 stars from 26,823 reviews, a self-guided visit over seven floors and a pint of Guinness or a soft drink in the Gravity Bar. For a seated tasting of four Guinness variants: the Connoisseur Experience is €95. For a guide and a second stop: the skip-the-line Guinness and Jameson tour costs €138.
The five tickets side by side

The standard ticket: what the €37 buys
The Storehouse sits at St James’s Gate, where Guinness has been brewed since 1759, in a former fermentation plant built around a glass atrium shaped like a pint glass. The ticket is for a self-guided visit through seven floors on the ingredients, the brewing, the history and the advertising, ending at the Gravity Bar with a pint of Guinness (or a soft drink) and a view over the city. The booking page says most visitors allow around 1.5 to 2 hours. An optional audio guide is offered in Spanish, French, German, Italian and Chinese.
Three practical points from the booking page. Bring ID. A maximum ratio of one adult to four children applies to all bookings, and junior student groups, or mixed student groups with guests under 18, cannot be accommodated. And the building is wheelchair accessible and accredited by As I Am. A reviewer who liked the visit mentioned two downsides: the fairly high price and the crowds.

The Connoisseur Experience: one hour, adults only
This is a different thing, not an upgrade of the visit. An officially trained Guinness connoisseur takes a group of at most 16 through a Draught, an Original, a Foreign Extra Stout and a Brewers Project in a private bar on the fourth floor, explains the pouring ritual and ends with a full pint of your choice. The booking page lists the private bar, the connoisseur, four varieties and the pint; it also advises you to allow extra time to see the main visitor experience beforehand, so check what your ticket covers before assuming general admission is part of it.
You must be 18 or over with photo ID, and latecomers are not admitted after the scheduled start. The page recommends arriving an hour before your slot. At €95 it is for people who want to taste, not for those who want to see the place.

With the bus: €64.40 for a day or two
The Big Bus combination gives you priority entry to the Storehouse and a pint at the Gravity Bar, plus a 24-hour or 48-hour hop-on hop-off ticket. The 48-hour version adds a one-hour panoramic night tour and a guided walking tour. The Guinness Storehouse is one of the stops on the route, so the bus is also a way to reach it. According to the operator, it is wheelchair accessible. It makes sense only if you were going to ride the bus anyway; if not, the €37 ticket and your own feet cost less. For the buses on their own, see hop-on hop-off buses in Dublin.

The guided half-days: with whiskey
Both four-hour tours are walking tours that pair the Storehouse with a distillery. The Jameson version, at €138, spends 1.5 hours at the Jameson Distillery on Bow Street with a tasting, an hour at the Brazen Head pub and 1.5 hours at the Storehouse, with skip-the-line entry to both. The two entry tickets booked separately come to €68 (€37 for Guinness plus €31 for the Jameson distillery tour), so the extra €70 pays for the guide, the order of the day and the shorter queues, not for more to see.
The €109 version swaps Jameson for the Roe & Co distillery in the Liberties, with a blending demonstration, whiskey samples and one premium whiskey drink, and ends at the Brazen Head. It meets at Arthur’s Pub on Thomas Street. It has 62 reviews against 1,220 for the Jameson tour, so its average rests on little evidence.
Check the conditions before booking either. Both booking pages list children under 12, people with back problems, people with mobility impairments and wheelchair users as not suitable, both ask for comfortable shoes and mention cobblestones, hills and stairs, and neither allows baby strollers. A line further down each page goes further and says children aged 12 or under are not allowed. Food is not included in either; the Roe & Co tour also leaves out hotel pickup and tips.

Which one
Book the entry ticket unless you can name a reason not to. Take the Connoisseur Experience if tasting is the point and everyone in the group is over 18. Take the bus combination if you were going to ride the bus anyway. Take one of the guided half-days only if you want whiskey in the same afternoon and no one in the group is a child of 12 or under or uses a wheelchair. Every Guinness ticket and tour is listed on the page for Guinness tours in Dublin.
