The Weekend Just Got More Interesting with Official Tours of Bewley’s Grafton Street

Discover Bewley’s, discover your Dublin in the heart of Grafton Street.

Bewley’s is a family owned Irish company with a long and fascinating history, spanning over 175 years of Dublin. Bewley’s are pioneers in coffee sourcing and roasting. Today Bewley’s roast all their coffees and blend teas in North Dublin for the Irish market, with roasting facilities in the U.K. and U.S that serve markets locally in these parts of the world.

Bewley’s Grafton Street has long been considered the home of the Bewley’s brand. Your tour of this beautiful historic café will begin in 1840 when Joshua Bewley chartered the Hellas, a clipper ship that took a high-risk round trip to China. The Hellas was the first ship ever to sail directly from China to Ireland and arrived at Kingstown (Dún Laoghaire) harbour filled with 2,099 chests, containing the first Chinese tea leaves to enter Ireland. You will learn that this was one of many firsts that Bewley’s delivered.

Following a recent three-year refurbishment, there are many unique elements of the original café have been fully restored including the iconic Harry Clarke windows and ten open fireplaces. The Egyptian-motif façades on Grafton Street were inspired by the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb by British explorers. The café is an art lovers dream, with Pauline Bewick, Jim Fitzpatrick, Paddy Campbell, Eamonn Ceannt and Graham Knuttel only some of the artists whose works are on display. Bewley’s Café Theatre, located on the second floor, is another cultural delight offered at Bewley’s with shows on daily (Monday to Saturday) at 1pm.

At the core of Bewley’s is a never-ending desire to provide the best. Bewley’s Grafton Street was built to rival the finest tea-rooms in Europe and to this day it is one of Dublin’s most iconic and celebrated landmarks. Located in the heart of Dublin, unlock your senses and escape in this bustling café that offers crackling coffee log fires in winter and a bright, airy garden atrium complete with a balcony overlooking Grafton Street for the summer months.
