Pint a' Guinness



If you're looking for something special to do during your stay in Dublin city centre, then look no further than the Guinness Storehouse. On a recent visit to the storehouse I didn't quite fall in love with the taste of the reknowned 'black stuff' but I did fall a little bit more in love with Dublin and our Irish history. I was proud to be Irish when I saw the large number of tourists flocking into the building in anticipation of the great story that was about to unfold about Arthur Guinness.

The seven floors bring to life the rich heritage of Guinness, telling the story from it's origins at St. James' Gate to it's growth as a global brand, known all around the world. The panoramic views at the top of the building in the
'Gravity Bar' made the steep ascend all worth while. The day was very bright and clear which made the city a beautiful landscape. The atmosphere was energetic and the crowd perky after the informative climb up. The bar stopped serving at 6.00pm; this was followed by a quiet lull as the last remains of the stout was sipped by all.



The price for this adventure is only €12.96 for an adult when bought online or €10.60 for a student. As this includes a complimentary pint of Guinness plus a few tasters on the way up, I definitely think it is well worth a visit.
