Is the distillery open on public holidays?

Jameson Distillery Bow St is open on most public holidays. Hours may change on major national holidays, so it’s best to confirm timings before planning your visit.

Do I need to book tickets in advance?

Yes. Experiences often sell out, especially mixology classes, blending sessions, and weekends. Booking ahead helps secure your preferred time slot.

When is the distillery least crowded?

Late mornings and early afternoons on weekdays tend to be quieter. These slots usually have smaller groups and a more relaxed pace during guided sessions.

Are evening or late visits available?

Experiences run at fixed times, but JJ’s Bar often stays open later, especially on weekends or event nights. Check the schedule if you’re planning an evening visit.

Can I visit without joining an experience?

The bar and gift shop are usually open to walk-in visitors. Guided tours, tastings, and classes require a booked ticket.

Is it easy to combine Jameson Distillery with other attractions?

Yes. Bow St pairs well with Smithfield, Temple Bar, and the Guinness Storehouse, making it easy to plan a half-day around your visit.

Is public transport available after closing time?

Yes. Trams and buses run regularly from Smithfield and nearby stops, though services may be less frequent later in the evening.
