Guinness Storehouse, Beer museum at St James's Gate, Dublin, Ireland
The Guinness Storehouse is a seven-floor building shaped like a pint glass located at St James's Gate. Inside, exhibits cover the brewing process, the history of advertising campaigns, and the ingredients that make up the beer.
Built in 1902, this was Ireland's first steel-frame building and initially served as a fermentation facility for the brewery. The structure changed purpose in 2000, opening its doors to visitors after sitting mostly unused since 1988.
The Gravity Bar on the top floor is where visitors claim their complimentary pint while taking in panoramic views of Dublin. This space reflects how deeply the brewery is woven into the city's identity.
Visitors can learn proper pouring techniques at bars throughout the building and join tasting sessions at various points. Multiple eating venues are spread across the floors, making it easy to pause and rest between exhibits.
The archives preserve employee records dating back to 1759, allowing visitors to trace family connections to the brewery's workforce. Many guests are surprised to discover that their ancestors worked there generations ago.
