Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does this crawl end at the Guinness Storehouse? ▼

Yes! The final stops on Thomas Street are less than 300 meters from the Guinness Storehouse entrance at St. James's Gate.

2. Should I book my Guinness Storehouse tickets in advance? ▼

Yes, Storehouse tickets frequently sell out days in advance, especially afternoon time slots with Gravity Bar access. Book online prior to starting your crawl.

3. Can I bring bags or luggage on this pub crawl? ▼

Most heritage pubs have limited cloakroom space. If you have large bags, use the luggage lockers at Heuston Station or the Guinness Storehouse coat check.

4. How long should I spend at each pub on the walk? ▼

Allocate 35 to 45 minutes per stop. That gives you plenty of time to savor the two-part pour without feeling rushed before your brewery tour.
