Guinness Storehouse

To close out the weekend in proper Dublin style, we're taking everyone to the Guinness Storehouse at St. James's Gate for a self-guided tour through seven floors of history, ingredients, and craft — ending with a complimentary pint at the Gravity Bar with panoramic views over Dublin. Open to all ages.

Adults can also add on the Guinness Academy: a 15-minute hands-on session where you'll learn to pour the perfect pint from a Guinness master. Academy spots are limited, so we need to know exactly how many people want in. If you're attending as a family, each adult can choose independently — you don't all have to do the Academy.

One thing to plan around if you have children: the Academy takes place in a separate room and no one under 18 is allowed in during the session. It's only 15 minutes, but you'll need at least one adult in your group who isn't in the Academy at that time to stay with the kids (think Disney-style ride swap).
