From the smoothest of Irish spirits to the finest brews, you'll go on a journey through time with each sip.

As you savour each drink, an animated world will unfold on the walls around you to tell the story of the six key chapters of this experience. The city’s history comes to life before your eyes and paints a vivid picture of the past as you listen to tales of courage, triumph and transformation.
