Guinness Storehouse & Dublin's Brewery Scene for Corporate Teams
Guinness Storehouse corporate packages start at €30/person for a guided tour with Gravity Bar pint and go up to €120/person for a premium private reception. Beyond Guinness, Dublin's craft brewery scene has exploded with Rascals, Porterhouse, and Hope Beer all offering team events from €35/person. This guide covers Guinness Storehouse's private event options plus the best craft breweries for corporate groups.
Guinness Storehouse Private Events
The Guinness Storehouse at St James's Gate is Ireland's most visited attraction and offers dedicated corporate event spaces across seven floors. The self-guided tour takes teams through the brewing process, from ingredients to the iconic Gravity Bar at the top. For corporate groups, private tours with a dedicated guide, exclusive tasting rooms, and food pairing experiences elevate it from tourist attraction to premium team event.
The Connoisseur Bar on the 4th floor hosts private whiskey-and-stout comparison tastings for groups of 15–40. It is a unique format — comparing Guinness with Irish whiskey reveals fascinating flavour connections and generates lively discussion.
Gravity Bar for Corporate Receptions
The Gravity Bar on the 7th floor offers 360-degree panoramic views over Dublin. For corporate receptions, it can be hired exclusively for groups of 50–150 standing. The glass-walled space looks out over the Dublin Mountains, Phoenix Park, the Liffey, and the Dublin coastline. A complimentary pint of Guinness (or non-alcoholic option) is included. Canapé and drinks packages run €30–60/person on top of the venue hire.

Rascals Brewing is the standout for corporate groups: excellent space, their own pizza kitchen, and a beer geek atmosphere that works for both casual socials and structured tastings. Combine with a pub quiz for a complete evening. The Porterhouse offers the most central location in Temple Bar.
Pro tip: For stout lovers, request a “Guinness vs. craft stout” blind tasting at any craft brewery. Comparing the heritage giant with local craft alternatives generates passionate debate and great team bonding.
