Roe & Co Distillery is a guided, working distillery located in Dublin’s Liberties district, set inside a restored 1940s power station. Visits run on scheduled, guided experiences rather than open roaming. Groups move together through storytelling spaces, flavour rooms, blending areas, and tasting zones. With small group sizes and limited availability, planning ahead helps you choose the right experience and enjoy it at an unhurried pace.

Each Roe & Co experience starts at a fixed time. Hosts gather groups in the welcome area before leading them into the distillery and workshop spaces.
Experiences follow a clear, guided route through storytelling zones, flavour rooms, and blending areas. The pace is relaxed, with plenty of time to listen, taste, and ask questions.
Most experiences conclude near the Power House Bar and gift shop, where you can unwind, take photos, or browse Roe & Co merchandise at your own pace.
Follow the journey from grain to glass as guides show how ingredients, barrel influence, and maturation create each whiskey’s unique character. Smell, sip, and notice subtle aromas and textures that bring the flavours to life.
Step into the story of George Roe and his family, who shaped Dublin’s whiskey legacy. See how that heritage blends with the modern distillery, where creativity and craftsmanship breathe new life into a famous historic name.
Experiment with aromas, textures, and flavour layers in a hands-on session that puts you in the maker’s seat. Bottle your own personalised blend and leave with a tangible, memorable keepsake of your creative experience.
Finish your visit in the distillery’s striking bar, surrounded by glowing copper stills and industrial walls. Sip a crafted non-alcoholic drink, take in the atmosphere, and enjoy a relaxed, social setting designed for lingering.

Late mornings and early afternoons on weekdays are ideal for smaller groups and extra attention from your guide. Weekends have a busier, livelier, with more visitors around, meaning tours fill up quickly, and spots can sell out.
Roe & Co is popular throughout the year, but visiting midweek outside school holidays gives a more relaxed pace. You’ll have room to move, more time with guides, and a chance to fully enjoy tastings and hands-on blending without the crowds.
