About this space

The Irish Whiskey Museum is a compact museum presenting the history of Irish whiskey through immersive, themed exhibits and recreated period interiors.

Design: The interior is composed of small, low‑ceilinged rooms finished with exposed beams, rough plaster walls and timber furniture that recreate historical distilling and pub settings. The lighting is dim and directional, and some exhibits use projected imagery to extend the scenes.

Features: The museum has Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and a PA system that supports presentations; hosts may play their own music. The museum contains multiple discrete galleries, an onsite gift shop and accessible restrooms, and the building is wheelchair accessible. The onsite team runs guided tours and educational classes and can assist during private bookings.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking an informal, educational and social gathering in a compact, hands‑on museum setting.

What sets it apart: A guided blending and tasting experience at the end of the visit lets visitors sample and create whiskeys, and certain premium tours include aged drams and a small take‑home bottle.

What guests say: The guided tours are entertaining and informative and delivered with humour. The museum's galleries are compact but detailed, and the onsite staff are helpful during interactive sessions.

50th Birthday Party · 30 guests · November 2025

Food was excellent, staff friendly and helpful, great location, lots of options, so it was just perfect!

Practically nothing, just as advice for the future, let people pour their own prosecco (which should be kept in ice) so it doesn't get warm
