16 Best Things to Do in Dublin | Condé Nast Traveler

"Empty Jameson bottle chandeliers hang from wooden rafters and illuminate the large bar of this whiskey emporium. Remodeled just in time for St. Patrick's Day in 2017, this historic distillery–turned-museum is an attraction for all whiskey lovers . The museum stands at the site of Jameson's original distillery, dating back to 1780, though the brand's major production now takes place in Cork. The 40-minute distillery tour includes a comprehensive Jameson history, a comparative tasting, and a drink on the house at JJ's Bar, the downstairs whiskey bar that's seemingly always rowdy." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner

We enjoyed every bit of the tour in Jameson Distillery. We have learned about history of whiskey and now have skills to distinguish good quality whiskey. My husband and I were not much of alcohol drinkers but we appreciate our time here. Welcome drinks were provided and there were enough space for the tour groups to enjoy every bit of it.

I just had the most incredible experience at the Jameson Distillery Bow St. Tour in Dublin! From the moment I stepped in, I knew I was in for a treat. The ambiance was top-notch, and the facilities were sleek and modern. But what really made the visit stand out was our amazing tour guide - he was super passionate about Jameson and its rich history. He took us on a journey through time, showing us how Jameson's iconic whisky is made and what sets it apart from the rest. The highlight of the tour was definitely the whisky tasting - we got to sample three different types of Jameson, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer. The "Grain to Glass" process was fascinating, and our guide did an excellent job of explaining it in a way that was easy to understand. Plus, the comparative whisky tasting was a great way to learn about the different flavors and notes. One thing to keep in mind is that you won't actually get to see the whisky being made - it's more of a theatrical experience. But trust me, it's still totally worth it. The Jameson Distillery Bow St. Experience is a must-visit for anyone in Dublin, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves whisky, history, or just wants a unique and immersive experience. So go ahead, book your tour, and get ready to be blown away by the rich history and smooth flavours of Jameson!

There are different experience options to choose from so my review comes from choosing the cheapest option. This option included a lesson on Jameson Whiskey + a choice of a drink (I highly recommend the mixed drink, it's really tasty!). The amazing guide taught us the history of Jameson whiskey. We were then guided through how the whiskey is made with visuals and props. I believe the actual place the whiskey is made is on a different location at another part of Ireland. However, we were still lucky to have tasted different variations of Jameson.

Visited the Jameson Distillery! It was really nice! They have a restaurant that you can get some good food at across the way before your tour (that isn’t affiliated). Once you enter, you will find a lobby and a cool bar! They have signature cocktails and you can of course get the whiskey poured straight up. Gift shop is also located in the central area, lots of fun items and bottles! I got a T-shirt and a Red Breast 21 ;) We did the Secret Whiskey tasting, not a full tour. I decided to do this because the normal tour did only included a tasting of some normal Jamesons. I mainly wanted to try some unique whiskeys! The tasting was pretty quick, about 45 min. But you did get to go into the “private office” and try 4 different Jameson branded premium whiskeys. You had an employee guide you through the tasting which was super cool. It was pretty private, since there were only about 8 people in the tour! If you are mainly concerned about the whiskey, I would recommend to do the Secret Tasting! We also hit the bar after the tour to hangout and try some of the signature cocktails!

Niall was hands-down the best tour guide I’ve ever had. Full stop. Hilarious, modest, intelligent, and wildly entertaining. Thanks to him, Jameson whiskey is no longer a mystery — and I might be a little in love (with both). The tour has gone digital, but not in a cold, Guinness-factory kind of way. It still feels intimate, rich with yarn-spinning and storytelling worthy of Ireland itself. Highly recommend.

We took part in the standard tour at the Jameson Distillery during our time in Dublin. The booking process was straightforward and the staff at the entrance were friendly and professional. The waiting area was clean and well-organised, with a small bar where you could order a drink before the tour started. The tour itself lasted around 40–45 minutes and followed a structured route through different parts of the building. Our guide was knowledgeable and spoke clearly throughout, providing a general overview of the history of Jameson, its founder John Jameson, and the basic principles of Irish whiskey production. There were visual displays and some interactive elements, though nothing particularly hands-on. The storytelling was steady, if a little rehearsed, and the pace moved along without any rush. Towards the end of the tour, we reached the tasting section. We were given three small samples – and talked through the basic tasting notes. It was a helpful way to understand the distinctions, even for someone without much prior whiskey knowledge. Afterward, we received a complimentary drink at the bar, which was included in the price of the ticket. The gift shop offered a selection of bottles and branded merchandise, and it was easy to browse through before leaving. Overall, the tour was fine. It provided a clear and accessible introduction to Irish whiskey, particularly for casual visitors or those new to the spirit. While it didn’t feel especially immersive or unique, it was professionally run and easy to enjoy without requiring much prior interest in whiskey. A solid way to spend an hour in Dublin — not unmissable, but pleasant and well put together.

The Jameson Distillery in Dublin was such a fun and memorable experience! The tour was incredibly enjoyable, and our guide made it even better with their energy and knowledge. The entire process of learning about whiskey-making was fascinating, and of course, the tasting at the end was a highlight (definitely had me buzzing!). The gift shop had a great selection of unique items, perfect for souvenirs. If you're in Dublin and enjoy whiskey, I highly recommend stopping by—it's an experience you won't forget!

We did the 1405 tasting on 14 Aug… cannot recall the name of our guide but he was truly amazing. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour was the perfect length in time and engagement! 10/10 would recommend.

3.5 stars. We purchased our tickets through the Big Bus Tour company so they were good for anytime arrival. I'm not a whiskey drinker, but that's not really my reasoning for the star count. We had done the Whiskey Museum earlier that day which was insightful and informative about Irish whiskey in general. Then we went to Jameson a few hours later and it felt a bit like a cattle call. They assign a certain number of people into large groups, then herd you into a room where you start off with your cocktail - either Jameson ginger lime or Jameson sugar free lemonade. Both were actually very tasty. Then we were taken into a room where we watched some media history about Jameson before taken into another media room where we learned about the distillation process and smelled different parts of the fermentation. Finally we were taken back to the first media room which then had our samples and water to cleanse our palates. We were given standard Jameson, the distillery's own Jameson that you can only buy/drink there, and finally the 12 year. Our guide Daniel was super knowledgeable and was able to answer questions from the crowd. It's a pretty quick tour which is nice - about 45 minutes total. The gift shop was pretty weak compared to having just been at Guinness whose gift shop is ELITE. I say this is probably worth doing while in Dublin just to say you did, but in my opinion you get a much more in depth history lesson of Irish Whiskey at the Whiskey Museum in town for the same price and get more samples/souvenir glass.

All the drinks here are so amazing! They have perfected to ratios and flavors to complement and create the Jameson mix drinks. I got the Jameson cold brew, cola and orange and I was blown away! I never would have put that combo of flavors together but it all mingled so well! My friends also got drinks and I didn't catch the names of what they ordered but it was all so good. It really felt like you couldn't go wrong with any of the menu options! The inside had plenty of seating and the aesthetic was pretty. A lot of the decor was just displayed bottles of alcohol. Cool place, definitely worth a visit!

Lots of fun. Cool way to learn about such a famous spirit. They take you on a tour and do a presentation which was very impressive. You learn all about the process and there's a tasting with 3 types of Jameson. Lots of drink options.

Very cool place. We went for a whiskey tasting with a great host. We had four different whiskies which convinced me to buy more! Lots of photo ops with a nice shop for souvenirs and bottles to take home. Next time we will do the tour. Lots of places around the area for food and drink. Also got an old fashioned at the bar. Loved it.

We had the absolute BEST experience! Thank you to Neásan for booking us our tour, and Paddy for being the best guide. This was an unforgettable experience for my family and I. Not only did we get to try some great Jameson whiskies, but we also learned so much about the company and how Jameson is made. At the end of the tour, I surprised my dad and bought him his own custom bottle of Jameson black barrel. He was thrilled! Everyone here is so nice and helpful, and the distillery itself is very cool. Definitely a must see if you come to Dublin!

Robin was an amazing tour guide! I loved that the tour was very interactive, high tech, with great story telling. Tasting the 3 whiskeys was really interesting when it was led by Robin and we had a drink the start the tour off as well. Would highly recommend this as an activity in Dublin! Bought my tickets online and checked in easily. Staff is great and their facilities are clean and well kept.

Jameson was my third distillery to visit on this trip after Bushmills* in Northern Ireland and Kilbeggan in the Republic. This one was definitely impressive and I enjoyed the experience. A number of whiskeys were consumed including the "welcome" drink for the tour, three tastings as part of the tour and then I purchased a final drink in JJ's Bar at the end. My friend described Jameson's tour in Dublin** as Disneyland and yes, it feels quite engineered and scripted. Perhaps because this is such a huge tourist draw, they have a series of rooms with videos and lighting and multimedia screens with some interactive touches and smells that crank people through swiftly. It's fun and it's enjoyable but it absolutely feels "produced." I would still highly recommend it. Lots of history, lots of displays, lots of information about the largest producer of whiskey in Ireland. Jameson outsells their competition by ten-to-one. They have an extensive gift shop and I did check prices. They're the same as the prices in the duty free at the airport though there are a few unique whiskeys that are only here. So if you're looking to avoid carrying your whiskey throughout the rest of your trip, that's an option. [Round number review 23000*** overall - review 1978 of 2024 - 159 in Republic of Ireland] * Bushmills was my favorite. Sorry! ** Eight years ago, my 6900th review was the Guinness Storehouse. Jameson's was closed for remodel at the time. *** 1000 reviews in 136 days! Number 22000 was Atlantic Dunes Park in Delray Beach, Florida.

Emer was an incredible tour guide! It was only her second week and she did an amazing job. This was one of our favorite things in Dublin that we did. We did the basic tour that they have and we learned so much about their history. Afterwards we grabbed a drink at the bar and did a red breast tasting. Red breast was the best bourbon we had there so I would recommend doing that when you visit. The orange chocolate drink had amazing flavors. The bar was super clean and the staff were all amazing. Definitely make time to go!

My friend and I got tickets for the Jameson Distillery tour around 3pm on a Sunday. Right off the bat, you kick the tour off with a complimentary drink. I know that there were 3 choices, but I could only recall whiskey neat (or on the rocks) and a cocktail of Jameson, ginger, and lime. No pressure to consume the drink before the tour starts; you can sip it along the way. The tour was awesome. Our guide, Kieran, was funny and passionate. I loved how interactive and high-tech the exhibits were. Very cool, seamless projections told the story of Jameson's history, how the whiskey is distilled, etc. The tasting room was at the end of the tour where we got to try 3 samples including the original, Distillery edition (my personal favorite), and Black Barrel. After the tour, my friend and I enjoyed a few more drinks at the bar. It was a lively spot with friendly bartenders, and a great way for us to mingle with other tour goers.

We did the 45-minute tasting and tour! It included a complimentary cocktail (3 different options), a tasting of 3 different whiskeys, and the tour explaining the process of how Jameson was started and made. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable! The group was about 20-30 people. The gift shop had lots of fun Jameson themed items and gifts!

Really happy with our experience here! I went into this tour not knowing any details and ended up loving it. We did the Guinness tour the day before and felt like it kinda fell short, and enjoyed this more in comparison. It isn't too long which I enjoyed, but it is entertaining and the space is great. We had a drink before the tour at the bar and it was one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. The tour started with a welcome drink as well. Definitely felt like it was worth it and was a nice way to spend some time.

This was a fun place to check out. My friends and I did the distillery tour and were able to walk right up and book the next time available slot which was about 30 minutes later. If you are staying at the Generator hostel next door, let them know and they will give you a discount on your ticket. The tour lasted about 25-30 minutes and the tasting was at the end. I will say.. I am not a whiskey fan at all so this was tough for me to get through but I'm sure if you like whiskey then this is absolutely perfect for you. I really just came for the experience + to have Jameson in Ireland and I still found it enjoyable. The tour guide was charismatic and I thought there was a lot of interesting information talked about throughout! You do get a free drink at their bar at the end of the tour.

So glad I did a distillery tour. The quality of the whiskey is much better at the distillery than getting a bottle somewhere outside of Ireland. The tour guide is super friendly knowledgeable and got all guests involved in the tour. Tour prices and drinks at the regular bar were super reasonable in price and gotta try red bird whiskey when you visit here. It's their staple fancy whiskey that's super smooth and takes the edge off better than most fine whiskeys

Obviously when Ireland you need to go to the Jameson Distillery & do the tasting. It's a great time, it isn't too long & the experience is wonderful. Personally not a whiskey drinker but why not if you're here! The tour was great, our tour guide had great information & was very animated. After the tasting we did the 20yr cast tasting which is totally worth it! Trevor was our tour guide for the 20yr cast draw & he had great information too! Super friendly! Recommend asking for Trevor. The Jameson tour was very neatly set up. Come in, grab a free drink, do the tasting of their 3 whiskeys then head over to the 20 yr cast draw. Pair this day with a Guinness tour. You won't be disappointed.

The place is so nice & big. Has lots of room & bottles of whiskey everywhere, of course. Amy, our cocktail class instructor, was awesome!! She took us into the cocktail classroom & we each had our own workstations to make our cocktails. She went over the history of Jameson it was very interesting. We started off with her telling us about an easy drink to make for gatherings. It's called a punch she put a lot of ingredients together so that it can mix together & sit for a while before we had it. After that, we started our first cocktail, we lined up all the ingredients & started putting them all together. Then, I got ready to mix it all up to make sure & get the foam from the egg whites. We made a strawberry sour it was delicious & came out beautiful. Enjoyed the first drink, then started lining up everything for our second drink we were gonna make. Added all the ingredients & mixed it up. It was old-fashioned & it was really good as well. At the end, they took us to a private part of Jameson Distillery to finish up the last drink the punch. We were able to stay there & have that drink & we also received a recipe book to take home so we can make these drinks again at home. Can't wait to come back when in Dublin, Ireland.

Omg came straight over here from a long L.A. flight, jet-lagged and with an empty stomach. No regrets! Lol got the tour and it was nice knowing the little history of it along with some tastings that were included. The shop is pretty cool especially if you're a collector. They have one bottle of Jameson you can't get anywhere but here and you can also get it engraved. You're in Ireland you gotta stop by this place!

My son and I spent an afternoon touring the Jameson Distillery and it was superb. In addition to our first Jameson creation at the Daily Grog (entry point of the tour) which was delish, the ambiance was outstanding and staff incredible. Gavin was our tour guide - I cannot recommend him highly enough. From his dry wit to his depth/breadth of knowledge of all things whiskey, to his patience answering some of our (clearly) novice questions - he was the best. The facility is so rich in history and tradition - I think we both learned a great deal! At the conclusion of the tour, the gift shop and the bar were both equally high caliber - staff were fabulous and ambiance perfect. We enjoyed trying different Jameson concoctions; and as someone who wasn't exactly a whiskey connoisseur, not only do I truly appreciate it now, I genuinely really enjoy Jameson! Highly recommend the tour and suggest seeking Gavin out as your tour guide.

My husband really wanted to check this place out as he is a fan of Jameson Whiskey. The tour talks about the history of Jameson and where it's grown to today. They no longer distill out of Dublin, but it is where they started, hence why they still have the tour here. The tour concluded with three small tastings and a whiskey drink of your choice at the end of the experience. There was also a gift shop for you to purchase Jameson related products. If you're a fan of Jameson Whiskey, it's not a bad tour to check out, but personally I'd rather just do the tasting. Keep and eye out for promo codes. We found one at the hotel we were staying at and got 10% off ticket price.

If you visit Dublin, you MUST come here. There were many great sites on our trip but this was one of the most memorable and in no small part due to our guide, Molly. I will confess to have never in my life having tried Jameson but we were told this tour was worth it. The history behind this incredible Irish Whiskey is fascinating. Even if you don't drink alcohol at all, you will be captivated by the story of Jameson. We did not have reservations but we just walked up and were able to get tour tickets and the start it off right by giving you a drink to have on the tour. And at the end, there is a gift shop with some very quality T-shirts... and Irish Whiskey too (of course). I've had whiskey back home in the states and we tried whiskey on Scotland but there is no question that Jameson is my number one choice. Again, even if you don't drink, you will enjoy the tour (especially is Molly is your guide). I'm sure all the other guides are as knowledgeable, but Molly sure knew how to get the group engaged and made the tour such a fun and memorable experience.

I highly recommend coming here for a cocktail making class. You get 3 drinks out of it (4, if you share a cool fact) and you can to have a neat cocktail menu/recipe book to keep. What's not to like. Our tour guide knows his stuff and gave a few explanations on why you chose this ingredient over that. Very good lessons!

If you're a fan of Irish whiskey and Jameson in particular this is a must do. The tour is very informative and provides you tastings that elevate your senses. After the tour you can sit at one of their bars and learn some ne drinks from their skillful mixologists.

Great tour! The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience fun. We had a relatively small group (approx 22) the information and presentation was enjoyable with video, hands on and experiential in nature. The tasting was great as well. As someone that doesn't try whiskey very often it was nice to understand the process and be guided on how "best" to taste

We didn't have time for the tour, so we stopped in for a drink. Place is clean and sleek. Bartenders are friendly and efficient.

I will be back to take the tour.

We had so much fun here. Definitely do the cask draw. Jameson in Dublin has a rich history as one of Ireland's most iconic whiskeys. Established in 1780, Jameson's mantra, "Sine Metu" (Without Fear), speaks volumes about its founder's daring and risky approach to distillation. The 1960s marked a pivotal era when Jameson's collaboration with other distilleries helped save the Irish whiskey industry. Whiskey is called "uisce beatha" in Gaelic --the water of life. The visit is not complete without a toast "Sláinte" (Good Health).

This place is hopping and a graining. Everyone is here to enjoy all the many experiences of Jameson. The interior bar is roomy and lots of seating in and outside. They have a gift shop also for shirts and etc. I tried the Trad which is an old fashion, and it was great. Also had a shot of Jameson orange which was good. Looks like the winner was the Irish coffee special everyone was walking around with. Parking was easy and it was a close walk to the front entrance. Happy I picked this out of all the other tours, it was fun..

If you visiting Dublin and you are a whiskey drinker this place is a Holy Grail. The tour was super interactive with complimentary drink and whiskey tasting.

Our group decided to go to the Jameson Distillery on Bow St for their general tour and tasting experience. The tour itself lasts about 45 minutes between the "tour" and tasting. The distillery itself is beautifully done with accents to the spirit lines they have and is a very cool atmosphere to grab a drink. What we didn't realize was none of the machinery is at this location anymore. The tour included a welcome drink, discussion of the history of the distillery, how their operations current work, and the process of distilling their liquor. We ended with a tasting of (3) spirits neat. Our entire group felt the experience was lacking and not curated to Jameson itself. One could learn anything from the tour on a youtube video. Overall, I would recommend going for a drink but nothing more.

I'm not a whiskey drinker but the espresso martini made with Jameson Cold Brew at the Bow Street distillery is worth buying a flight for alone. My best friend is a Jameson lover and we had to experience everything the Bow Street experience had to offer. We did a tour, our tour guide was great and gave us plenty of fun facts associated to the experience. He also encouraged plenty of questions and with a small group tour, we felt like we could ask and learn throughout the experience. (Please note the first 15 minutes is self guided and allows you to explore the space.) Both of us became obsessed with Jameson Crested. It's a whiskey that's available basically everywhere with the exception of the US and one of the oldest flavors of Jameson. It was incredible and we both ended up buying bottles of it to bring home. The extra add ons offered are also pretty fun (sampling whiskey out of the barrel - woah man, it'll grow hair on your chest ) and bottling your own whiskey is fun too. Pro tip: buy before you fly to Ireland there are bubble wrapper envelopes made for wine bottles that our bottles of whiskey fit in to travel home in within our checked baggage. No issues at all and we're both SO happy we packed them! Save them for your next trip!

While most think of Guinness when the idea of a Dublin visit is on site, Jameson's Bow Street tour and distillery is a welcome stop. Combining both history and spirits, the tour gives you an incredible multimedia experience on how the most recognized Irish whiskey got its start and continues to thrive. As expected, the tasting experience is wonderful. The tour guide was amazing. And the overall experience was very enjoyable. There is a bar and lounge on site but I'm not sure if they have food.

The Jameson Distillery is a must-visit for everyone ! It's a place where you can learn all about the history and process of making this famous drink. The tour guides are friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. Plus, at the end of the tour, you get to taste some delicious Jameson whiskey. The atmosphere is lively, and it's a great opportunity to understand and appreciate the craft behind this iconic spirit. You don't need to go on a tour to enjoy some Jameson cocktails but the tour is a bonus and for sure not boring. For sure coming back when I visit Ireland again.

What a fun tour! When in Dublin, you have to check out the Jameson distillery and purchase the tour. It was definitely worth getting to learn the history and sample versions of Jameson you can't easily get back home. The black barrel is lovely and I wish it was easily accessible in the states. The tour guide was charismatic and wonderful and with the purchase of the tour, you also get one free Jameson cocktail or shot. Whenever your poison of choice may be...

Whether you're a history fan, whiskey fan, or just enjoy learning something new. The Jameson Distillery in Dublin is a great choice. We enjoyed a tour with whiskey tasting, cask draw sample, and even poured our own bottle from the cask. Only wish I had more time!

From the outside courtyard you'll see a gift shop, statue, and the famous Jameson Distillery, you walk down small alleys to or on Bow St. Before to dress warm or drink up to warm up! HA! Once you walk in you'll see bars to your left and right and on the floor you'll see class plates to see the old grounds of the distillery which look absolutely killer! I totally recommend doing the highest tire tour to get the facts, outstanding history, and amazing tasting at the end of your tour. I did not like dark liquor before this tour, but now I can say that I am a fan. You will honestly enjoy your time here and after, kick back at one of the bars and enjoy your stay. You're gonna love it! I think my tour guide was James or Jason! You were great bud!

On a vacation in Ireland and this was on our bucket list. We did a tour that included the history and making of the whiskey at Jameson. I didn't know what to expect but it was surprisingly interactive and the guide was there every step of the way. Shout out to Leah, who was informative and funny! My favorite part was the tasting process. Leah walked us through each one and it was a fun experience! Very entertaining and a must do. Also, we got our fee grog (I think it just means Drink) on the way out at the bar! Comes with the tour and the bar was such a cool place to sit and drink. I highly recommend heading here! We were here no longer than 2 hours so it was easy for us to fit in.

September 2023 - Our revisit to Dublin Did you know that in Irish, whiskey is called uisce beatha and literally translates to "the water of life"? Chronicling the history of the Jameson family and the "water" they're known for, the Jameson Distillery no longer makes the hard stuff (that's done elsewhere) though it does offer tours that provide insight on just how to do it. Whiskey drinkers hail the 40-minute guided tour (and the included tastings) as informative and fun, with energetic guides and a beautiful refurbished facility. Whether you're a fan of whiskey or not, learning about the history is sure to entertain anyone. Even non-drinkers say they enjoyed the informative tour. Like learning that the founder of the most famous Irish whiskey, John Jameson, was actually a Scotsman. Or that the Latin on the bottle's label, Sine Metu, means "without fear."

Definitely a must book experience. Ate at the little cafe before our blending class and prices were great. Decent food, fast service. The inside of the distillery is amazing. Great drink menu at the end, educational, and fun place to spend the day

The Jameson tour was short, engaging, and packed with great info. Finn was entertaining and kept the perfect balance of history, trivia, and humor. The tasting session was a highlight, especially learning the breathing technique using your mouth and nose at the same time when tasting to savor the whiskey. Definitely worth the price!
