“The seven-storey atrium built into the old fermentation plant at St. James's Gate, shaped like a pint glass that would hold fourteen million pints if filled. Arthur Guinness signed the lease in 1759, for nine thousand years, at forty-five pounds a year. The Storehouse opened to visitors in 2000.

Guinness Storehouse, on ceramic.

Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

— about Guinness Storehouse

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

The Guinness Storehouse occupies the former fermentation plant at the St. James's Gate brewery in Dublin 8, west of the city centre along the Liffey. The seven-storey building was completed in 1904 in the Chicago school style, the first multi-storey steel-framed building in Ireland. It opened as a visitor experience in December 2000 and has since become Ireland's most-visited paid attraction, drawing roughly 1.7 million visitors a year before the pandemic and recovering steadily since reopening.

— the year

Arthur Guinness signed the lease for the four-acre brewery site on 31 December 1759: nine thousand years, at forty-five pounds per annum. A copy of the document is displayed under glass in the floor of the entrance atrium. The brewery began with ale and switched to porter in the 1770s, the dark roasted-barley style imported from London that the Guinness family refined into the dry stout the world now knows. By 1914 St. James's Gate was the largest brewery on earth.

— the visit

The self-guided route climbs seven floors, opening into a central atrium shaped like a pint glass with the theoretical capacity, if filled, of roughly fourteen million pints. The Gravity Bar at the top serves the included pint under a 360-degree glazed lantern with views from the Wicklow Mountains to Phoenix Park. Tickets are timed and best booked in advance; lines are shortest at opening (typically 09:30) and on weekday afternoons. The site is fully step-free by lift.

A few questions we get about Guinness Storehouse — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

A seven-storey visitor experience inside the St. James's Gate brewery in Dublin, telling the story of Guinness stout from raw materials to the Gravity Bar pint at the top. It opened in December 2000.

Nine thousand years, signed 31 December 1759, at forty-five pounds per annum for the four-acre brewery site. The original document is displayed beneath a glass panel in the floor of the entrance atrium.

The bar on the seventh floor of the Storehouse, with a 360-degree glazed view of Dublin from the Wicklow Mountains to Phoenix Park. The included pint of Guinness is served there at the end of the tour.

It is shaped like a pint glass that would hold roughly fourteen million pints if filled. The base sits on the ground floor; the rim opens at the Gravity Bar seven storeys up.

The brewery began with ale in 1759, switched to porter in the 1770s, and through the nineteenth century refined the dark style into the dry Irish stout the brand is now known for. Extra Stout dates to that period.

St. James's Gate is in Dublin 8, about twenty minutes' walk west of Trinity College. The Luas red line stops at James's; the 13, 40 and 123 buses also serve the gate.

— about the piece in your home

It travels well for that recipient. The Storehouse is one of the city's most recognised landmarks, and the tile reads as Dublin without leaning on shamrocks or pub kitsch. A Small or Medium with a handwritten note from the studio carries the city quietly.

The deep blacks and copper notes suit Industrial, warm Pub-traditional, and Jewel-tone Maximalist rooms. The piece sits well next to dark stained oak, brass, and saddle leather. Less at home in a strictly minimalist white room.

Yes. A Large or four-tile Mural reads strongly behind a back-bar shelf or above booth seating. The Dura Satin finish handles vertical installation in spaces with humidity and the occasional spilled pint.

A single Large sits well above a standard sofa or a long console. For a longer wall, behind a dining table or a bar, a four-tile Mural extends the composition; a nine-tile Mural anchors a feature wall.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and suited to backsplashes, shower surrounds, and other vertical installations with humidity. The Glossy finish is for framed wall display.

A soft microfibre cloth and water. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaners. The colour lives in the surface, beneath a thin glossy finish, and does not wear off with normal use.
