Buying guide
For the most authentic experience, travelers should book the guided tour with tastings, as Pearse Lyons operates primarily through scheduled group sessions due to its boutique size within a repurposed church. While official prices are the benchmark, booking via Tiqets or GetYourGuide is often preferred for their superior 24-hour cancellation flexibility and integrated mobile ticketing.
This provides the essential 1-hour guided experience through the church and distillery with a curated tasting flight included.

Enter through the main gates of the repurposed St. James' Church on James's Street. Check in at the reception desk inside the visitor center at least 15 minutes before your scheduled tour. While 'skip-the-line' tickets bypass the walk-up ticket office, all guests must wait for their specific guided time slot to begin. Note that a portion of the tour takes place outdoors in the 800-year-old cemetery, so dress for the Dublin weather. Valid photo ID is required for the whiskey tasting portion of the experience.
As of June 2026, official adult tickets for the guided distillery experience start at €22. Reduced concession rates are available for seniors (65+) and students with valid photo ID. Children aged 11–17 are charged a reduced fee of €10, while children under 10 years old enter free of charge. Please note that whiskey tastings are strictly for visitors aged 18 and over; minors are provided with soft drinks or juice as an alternative. Visitors who appear under the age of 25 should carry a valid photo ID for verification. Because all tours are fully guided with limited capacity, booking a timed slot online in advance is strongly recommended to guarantee entry during peak hours.
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
