In Part 1 I showed you the beautiful Trinity college. As part of the Dublin City open top bus tour we stopped off at the Guinness storehouse, where we learnt all about how the famous black stuff is made (information you don't need), looked at lots of advertising memorabilia from over the years and sipped a rather lovely pint in the Gravity bar:
The interior of the storehouse is actually really beautiful
A wee mini glass to start with for sampling purposes
Old school machinery etc.
Cool giant Guinness man, husband answering phone and failing to realise where he was leaning..ah ha ha ha!
A very small sample of the past advertisements
The view from the Gravity bar of the entire city was actually stunning, even when a massive rain cloud descended, and eh, more Guinness.

I love the Guinness Store House, I went this time last year. We were lucky as we got really nice weather! My fave part was the advertisement section. I've done a few 'local tourist' things over the years, it's a great idea http://rare-opal.blogspot.ie/2012/06/guinness-store-house.html
ReplyDeleteI loved the advertisement part too! Really interesting! Thanks for the link, I love getting new ideas! X
