10 Best Breweries in Enniskerry

"To a more modern attraction next; the Guinness Storehouse at St. James Gate. Arthur Guinness famously signed a 9,000-year lease at this site in 1759, and his famous porter has been brewed there ever since. The current building however was constructed in 1902, in the style of the Chicago School of Architecture ­– the first steel-framed multi-storey building in Europe."

"No list of the best Dublin museums would be complete without a visit to the Guinness Storehouse. It has consistently been voted the most popular destination for visitors to the city, with many locals taking part in the experience as well. Follow the story of how Guinness became Ireland’s most famous export and its impact on the city that brewed it."

"Our last stop, and the perfect way to end your two days in Dublin is Dublin’s most popular visitor attraction – the Guinness Storehouse. This is on the site of St James’s Gate Brewery, where Ireland’s legendary drink has been brewed since 1759. Today, over 50 million barrels of Guinness are produced annually on this location."

"Ranging over four floors on the western edge of Temple Bar, this pub began flying the microbrewery flag over 10 years ago, and today it's still going strong. Come here for a range of excellent in-house Irish brews: from dark, velvety porters (try the Oyster Stout made, yes, with fresh oysters) to red ales (try the fruity Porterhouse Red). This place can be touristy and very packed: but still, well worth a visit."

"Porterhouse Central on Nassau Street is the 2nd Porterhouse location in Dublin. Thanks to being off Grafton Street just a little bit further from the heart of the nightlife action, it was much more chill than other pubs were on the same night I visited. I had the Celebration Stout, which had been created for the brewery’s 20th anniversary."

"Emma Devlin and Cathal O’Donoghue founded Rascals Brewing in 2014. It’s a bit of a journey out past Kilmainham Gaol, but Rascals Brewing Company is one of the most innovative breweries in Dublin. Going beyond the standard styles found at every other brewery, Rascals has unique beers such as Chardonnay Saisons, Mint Chocolate Stouts, & Strawberry Vanilla Milkshake IPAs."

"Location was key to Devlin and her husband when founding Rascals. “We always dreamed of having a city-accessible brewery that people could visit, and where we could offers tours. We have renovated the building, totally transforming it so it’s suitable for a brewery and restaurant,” Devlin says."

"This brewing gem opened the doors of its first branch in 1989 and hasn't looked back since. Sourcing some of the best beers from the continent as well as brewing their own, The Porterhouse now boasts five premises in Dublin, London and New York and their Plain Porter won the gold medal at the world brewing industry's most prestigious award last year. They brew an excellent stout in house, but offer a wide range of ales, lagers and seasonal beers to whet your appetite as well."

"There are a couple of Porterhouse brewpubs in the Dublin city centre. Their original Temple Bar location has been in operation since 1996. As is the case with most Temple Bar pubs, the’ve got live music every night of the week."

"The buses will take you past the major sights and, depending on which tour you choose (grab some leaflets the evening before or do some research on the internet), even far-flung attractions like the Guinness Brewery, Kilmainham Gaol, and Phoenix Park will be seen. The main thing to remember here: get a good seat on top, enjoy the view, listen to the commentary, and snap away... but do not get off the bus. This is your city tour."

"Supermac's are like the Irish McDonald's but ten times better. They take time and care and have loads of restaurants all over Ireland."

"Really friendly tolerant staff, well used to kids wandering around. They have a great atmosphere, and plenty of choice for everybody with a massive menu – better again, with outlets in Dun Laoghaire, Tallaght, Dundrum and Blanchardstown and a few dotted around the city centre, they're a solid option wherever you happen to be."

"The Workmans is a bar, nightclub and music venue located at 10 Wellington Quay on the Southside of the Liffey. The weekends are most busy here and you will see live bands as well as a DJ upstairs. The club got its name as the building where it is located has existed on this site for over 160 years and from 1888 to 2003 was the home of the original Workingmen’s Club."

"Did you know that The Workmans Club is home to one of Dublin's best rooftop bars?. Complete with its own burger joint and cocktail bar, this quirky (and colourful) suntrap is made for sinking in the hours while topping up your tan this summer."

"The Workman's Club is here for you, offering regular indie disco nights and live music sessions. Of course, there's plenty of rock, hip-hop, guilty pleasures and disco hits scattered into the jam-packed event schedule."

"Creative QuarterP Mac's is the kind of place that’s almost impossible to resist when you walk past its door, the spot where you can’t help but peek through the window just to see what the craic is like inside. Right in the middle of town, between the tangle of bars of William Street and George’s Street, P Mac’s has that perpetual "meeting place" vibe. There’s a great selection of craft beers on tap, and the candles on each of the tables give off a supremely flattering light (an important thing to note when you’re a couple of beers in)."

"P Mac’s is a sister bar of Cassidy’s, with a similarly large selection of craft beer. There are 30 taps available, plus another 50 or so cans & bottles. It’s a big place, but some hidden little rooms provide a more intimate experience if that’s what you’re after."

"For a more quaint American-themed restaurant, this small cafe offers a wide variety of traditional Irish and American classics such as Guinness Beef Stew and cheeseburgers. Read More: Almost 25% more North Americans visiting Ireland"
