A Must Do In Galway!

5.00Absolutely highly recommend when in Galway, especially if you love gin! We had a private master class with one of the owners & can't say enough about how warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and engaging he is! Like making gin with a friend on a Thursday evening, as one does! We learned about how gin is made, the various flavors you can add and then created our own recipes to be distilled and bottled! They both turned out delicious! And you'll get a taste of their new, first for Ireland, tequila! Don't think about it, just book it - you'll be so happy you did!
What fun!

5.00What a unique and informative experience! Paul was a great guide through our gin making experience. We produced two passable bottles of gin but had a great time doing it. The Tribe gin was great and the cocktails were flowing during the experience. Afterwards we popped over to the pub next door, which was an excellent recommendation by Paul. Definitely one of our most memorable Irish experiences!
An experience you don't want to miss!

5.00Due to a Tribe scheduling situation, our class consisted of my husband and me. We didn't know what to expect when we registered to take the gin making class at Tribe Irish Gin. We were unsure when we followed GPS to the address indicated on the tickets. It is an unassuming building that definitely has a large "Tribe Irish Gin" sign next to the door but doesn't look like a distillery. Ciarán met us at the door and showed the way upstairs. My first reaction was "WOW!" The space is set up so well and is obviously a place where gin is distilled. One of the highlights was meeting Ciarán. His passion and energy were infectious. We talked about gin, Irish history (Ciarán is amazingly well-versed in both subjects), and many other things. When we got down to learning about the distillation process, Ciarán explained every step of the process. He explained all of the flavor choices we had (and there are many), and how they would affect the final product. We each brought home a 700 ml bottle of the gin we distilled. Of course, we bought a bottle of 'their' gin and a t-shirt. When you go to a class, and you must do that, ask your teacher how Tribe gin came to be. It's a very interesting journey.

5.00My wife and I booked a gin making class with Tribe Gin. We had traveled all day/night from the US to Dublin and Tribe Gin worked with us for a time that met our travels so we could get some sleep that night. It was pouring rain and we were soaked. Paul met us at the door and we had a gin and tonic and tried to dry off. When we took our seats to learn more and make gin, he brought in a heater to warm us up. Paul was so nice and educational and we just had a blast. The whole experience was worth it and so well done. Book and enjoy. Thank you Paul for the awesome experience and memories.

Amazing Experience at Tribe Gin School!

5.00This was a fantastic experience and would be perfect to do with friends, tour groups, or even with a family. It could even be fun to start the night at Tribe on a stag or hen party. It is operated by locals from Galway so it gives you that local vibe and personal touch that makes it unique. Paul was fantastic at answering questions and making it so much fun from start to finish! I highly recommend booking this experience, you will leave with your very own bottle of gin, and memories that will last forever!
Amazing Experience!

5.00Our hosts, two of the founders of Tribe Gin, shared their origin story and a bit of Irish history to answer our questions, all while guiding us through the process of selecting botanicals and distilling our own bottle of gin. It was a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and they served us gin and tonics and provided us with a meat and cheese board. This experience was the highlight of our trip so far! Highly recommend!
Great fun making our own gin!

5.00My daughter and I had the most wonderful time at Tribe Gin School. Adam was a great host and was so friendly and knowledgeable. Adam taught us how to choose a good balance of botanicals from their great selection, and helped us get our stills going. It was fun and easy, and we were treated to a very generous charcuterie and cheese board, and got to try their amazing Tribe gin in as many G and T's as we could drink while we waited for the distillation. We got to name and label our gin, and for those traveling, no worries, Adam shrink-seals the top so it won't leak. We did buy bottle protectors on Amazon, which I recommend if you're traveling a long way home. Everything was so nice and professionally done. Really impressive what a group of friends created during the chaos of the pandemic. Our favorite and most memorable activity in Ireland!
Interactive and Fun

5.00I loved it all. Such fun, but we also learned how to make our own individual bottles of Gin which we rook home. Haven't tried it yet so it's the gift that keeps on giving. But my god that guy can talk fast, with stories & local info
