Roe and Co is not your typical distillery tour. It’s set inside the beautifully converted former Guinness Power Station on Thomas Street in the Liberties, and it’s as much about design and atmosphere as it is about whiskey. The space is sleek and modern - a long way from the dark wood and brass of most whiskey experiences - and at its heart is a hands-on cocktail workshop that puts you behind the bar.
When you book, you choose between two workshop formats. The Blending experience takes you into Room 106, where you discover the secrets of Roe and Co’s unique blend and build your own Whiskey Old Fashioned. The Flavours experience explores the five pillars of taste to help you identify your ideal flavour profile. Both are led by a professional mixologist who walks you through every step, and both end with you drinking the cocktail you’ve just made.
After the workshop, you’re invited to relax with a signature serve in the Power House Bar - a spectacular double-height space that feels more like a high-end hotel lounge than a distillery visitor centre. The whole thing takes about an hour, which makes it easy to slot into a day exploring the Liberties. When it launched, Lonely Planet named it one of their top 10 best new openings, and it’s held up well since then - it’s still one of the most distinctive and genuinely enjoyable things to do in Dublin.
Pick your workshop format before you book, not on the day. You need to choose between Blending and Flavours when you make your reservation, so it’s worth having a think in advance. If you already know you love whiskey and want to understand how blending works, go for Blending. If you’re newer to the spirit and want to figure out what you actually enjoy in a drink, Flavours is the better fit - and it works brilliantly for groups with mixed tastes.
The Liberties makes for a really good afternoon itinerary. Roe and Co sits on Thomas Street, a short walk from both the Guinness Storehouse and Teeling Distillery. If you’re already heading to one of those, adding Roe and Co to the same afternoon gives you a proper whiskey trail without any real effort. The three sit comfortably within a 15-minute walk of each other.
Stay for a second drink in the Power House Bar. The included cocktail is a generous start, but the bar menu at Roe and Co is genuinely well crafted. The space itself - a converted power station with high ceilings and clever industrial design - is the kind of place you want to sit in for a while. It’s much quieter on weekday afternoons than weekends, if a relaxed pace matters to you.
Thomas Street has a deeper history than most visitors realise. The street runs through one of Dublin’s oldest working-class neighbourhoods, and the building Roe and Co now occupies was central to Guinness operations for generations. If you find yourself curious about the area, the Guinness Storehouse is a short walk away and tells the broader story of how this part of the city was shaped by the brewery.
