Decision matrix

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Dynamic pricing: Official rates vary by day and time; weekend and afternoon slots can cost up to €10-€14 more than early-morning weekday tickets.
  • Strict late-arrival policy: If you miss your timed entry slot, the venue is not obligated to reallocate you, and tickets are generally non-refundable.
  • Security queue reality: 'Skip-the-line' tickets only bypass the ticket purchase desk; all visitors must still queue for security checks and the main entry flow.
  • No on-site luggage storage: Large bags and suitcases are prohibited and there are no lockers; you must pay for external storage services in the city center.
  • Gravity Bar overcrowding: Your complimentary pint is included, but seating in the panoramic bar is not guaranteed and it is often standing-room only during peak hours.
  • Paid experience upgrades: The 'Stoutie' (selfie on foam) and 'Guinness Academy' (pouring lesson) are not included in standard tickets and require a paid add-on.
  • ID verification: A valid government-issued ID is required for the complimentary pint; visitors under 18 or those without ID will only be served soft drinks.

Insider tips

4 things to know before your visit

  • Entrance: The main visitor entrance is located on Market Street South at St. James's Gate. While 'skip-the-line' tickets bypass the physical ticket office queue (saving significant time in peak May season), all guests must still clear a mandatory security bag check. For the best experience at the 7th-floor Gravity Bar, book the 9:30 AM opening slot to beat the midday peak rush. Note that there is no on-site luggage storage; large bags and suitcases must be stored at a city-center facility before you arrive. Specific guided tours, like the Connoisseur Experience, may use a dedicated meeting point—check your voucher carefully to avoid being redirected by security.
  • Price: Official adult tickets for May 2026 utilize dynamic pricing, typically ranging from €26 for off-peak weekday slots to €36 during weekends and peak hours. While booking directly is the most cost-effective for specific times, third-party platforms often offer a flat rate (starting from €28) with the added benefit of 24-hour free cancellation, whereas official tickets are strictly non-refundable and only permit date/time rescheduling up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Discounts: Official 2026 admission uses dynamic pricing, with adult rates typically ranging from €26 to €36 depending on the selected time slot. Reduced pricing is available for Seniors (65+), Students (18+ with valid ID), and Youth (5–17). Children under 5 enter for free but must have a pre-booked 'Under 5' timed-entry ticket added to the reservation at checkout. All visitors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Visitors with disabilities pay the applicable standard or reduced rate, while one accompanying carer is granted free admission; carers should select the complimentary carer ticket option online when booking the paid visitor. Note that the complimentary pint in the Gravity Bar is strictly for visitors aged 18+ with valid photo ID; those under 18 or non-drinkers receive a soft drink or water instead. All visitors, including those eligible for free entry, must have a confirmed timed reservation to guarantee admission.
  • Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to print my ticket or can I show it on my phone?

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.

What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy for 2026?

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.

What happens if I arrive late for my timed entry slot?

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.

Are there free tickets for children or discounts for students?

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+).

Is the Gravity Bar included, and how can I avoid the crowds?

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.

Can I bring large bags or suitcases into the Guinness Storehouse?

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.

Do I need to bring identification to get my complimentary drink?

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.

Is it possible to buy tickets at the entrance on the day?

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.
