FAQ
Mobile tickets are the standard for entry; simply present the QR code on your smartphone at the gate. It is recommended to arrive at the St. James's Gate entrance at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time slot to allow for mandatory security and bag screening.
Official tickets are generally non-refundable, but you can reschedule your date and time via the official 'My Booking' portal up to 24 hours before your visit. For those seeking full refund flexibility, third-party sellers like GetYourGuide or Tiqets often provide a 24-hour free cancellation option.
Entry is strictly managed by time slots. While a 15-minute grace period is typically observed, it is not guaranteed. During peak periods, staff may be unable to reallocate you to a later slot if you miss your window, and no refunds are issued for missed arrivals.
Children under 5 years old enter free of charge but still require a 'Child Under 5' ticket to be added to your online reservation. Reduced-price tickets are available for youth (5-17), students (18+ with valid photo ID), and seniors (65+).
Yes, every standard ticket includes access to the 360-degree Gravity Bar and one complimentary pint of Guinness (or a soft drink). To avoid the heaviest crowds, book a slot before 11:00 AM or after 4:30 PM; if the top floor is congested, you can also use your drink token at Arthur's Bar on the 5th floor.
No. For security reasons, only small personal bags (maximum A4 size) are permitted inside. There are no on-site storage facilities for large backpacks or suitcases, so you must use a city-center luggage locker or your hotel's concierge before arriving at the brewery.
Yes, the venue operates a 'Challenge 25' policy. If you appear to be under 25, you will be asked for valid photo ID (Passport or Driving License) to receive alcohol. Note that in Ireland, Guinness 0.0 is also restricted to those aged 18 and over at this venue.
While a limited number of walk-up tickets may be available, they are significantly more expensive than online rates and frequently sell out days in advance. Online booking is the only way to guarantee entry and secure the lowest available price.
