This engaging experience invites both locals and visitors to explore the rich history of Dublin and the unique venue itself, concluding with a traditional Irish coffee in hand.
A Journey Through Dublin’s Past:
Set within the architecture of a meticulously restored 18th-century church, the new tour offers a journey into the heart of The Church’s cultural and historical legacy. Led by our friendly guides, guests will be transported through key moments in Irish history, shedding light on the figures and events that helped shape the venue and Dublin. From its opening in 1701, to the wedding of Arthur Guinness in 1761, and its transformation into a vibrant bar and restaurant, The Church has witnessed over three centuries of Ireland’s history.
That’s not all, to complete the experience, the tour concludes with a traditional Irish Coffee demonstration—a delightful tribute to Ireland’s rich culinary heritage. Guests will learn about the craft of making this iconic drink, while having the opportunity to taste it for themselves, savouring every sip.

Visitors on the tour will explore all corners of this iconic building, from the main bar and restaurant to the hidden historic gems within its walls.
After the tour, guests can extend their experience by indulging in a delicious lunch, dinner, or special celebratory meal. With a menu that showcases traditional Irish dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients, coeliac options, along with contemporary favourites and inventive cocktails, the venue offers something for every palate. Whether dining in the outdoor terrace, at the bar, or in the restaurant, The Church offers the perfect place to relax and savour after a journey through Dublin’s past.
