Advantages: Free pint, friendly staff

Disadvantages: Museum like and boring

The Guinness factory is about a ten minute walk from the centre of Dublin (or half an hour if your as bad at reading a map as we are!)

Once you arrive you are met by the overpowering brewery smell. The staff are friendly and the prices are reasonable, you can also get student discount.

The factory is more like a museum than a factory, and good if you want to know the nit nats and history of guiness, but we found it a bit boring.

You get a free pint of guinness - which can be traded in at the top in a tower really high up, with glass windows all the way round, and you can see the whole of Dublin from them. It is pretty busy though so you have to wait if you want a seat! You can also pour your own pint, they teach you how to pour a pint of guiness perfectly, and you get a certificate for doing so.

It's worth going just for the free pint.

Summary: We all love Guinness!
