Atrium
The STOREHOUSE®
was originally built in 1904 to house the GUINNESS® fermentation
process. This incredible building was constructed in the style
of the Chicago school of architecture, with massive steel beams
providing the support for the structure of the building. The STOREHOUSE®
building housed the fermentation of GUINNESS® beer until 1988,
and in November 2000, the new addition to the Dublin tourism offer
opened its doors.
The core of the GUINNESS STOREHOUSE® building is modelled
on a giant pint glass, stretching up from reception on the ground
floor to The Gravity Bar in the sky. If filled, this giant pint
would hold approximately 14.3 million pints of GUINNESS®!
No Dublin holiday is complete without a trip to GUINNESS STOREHOUSE®
