The museum is closed as is the soda fountain. The bottling company operates M-F only. There are several places in town to buy cases and to get fountain cups of 1891. read more

We love this place and come and get a case or two every couple of months. The flavors that they have are great. I love the Cherry Limeade, Lemonade, Grapefruit, Ginger Ale, and my husband loves the Root Beer. It is nice to just browse around the shop and talk to the girls working at the register and find out what their favorite flavors are and some of the interesting things that they have seen other people try. read more

The Dublin Bottling Company museum was closed during our Saturday visit despite Google and Yelp indicating that it is open. The sign on the door has hours from Monday to Friday from 9a to 4p. Banker hours for a tourist attraction. Don't waste time or gas for the drive to Dublin since other than the museum there is nothing else this town has to offer. read more

I'm not sure where all of these photos were taken, but they were not taken at the Dublin Dr Pepper museum in Dublin. A tiny little town, a tiny little bottling company and a tiny little soda shop next door is pretty much what Dublin is made of. You buy your tickets in the soda shop for the tour and as it starts you are given a frosty cold, full of slush, Dublin Dr Pepper to enjoy while touring the bottling area. As you walk through the little tour, you are given a complete history of Dublin Dr Pepper bottling. As you leave the bottling area, you walk into an air conditioned room full of memorabilia from the private collection of Bill Kloster. Photos, desk, cash register, clocks, slogans, all there, and history is given while you walk through the various rooms and admire them. Definitely worth the few dollars they charge for admission!! read more

Yes, another foolish tour by the foolish boys commenced to Waco to see the David Koresh place and the Dublin Dr. Pepper Museum. The museum itself is nice a place to take a quick tour of how they made Dr. Pepper in the beginning. This is a place you can buy genuine Dublin Dr Pepper, still made with the original Imperial Pure Cane Sugar formula. They also bill themselves as the oldest Dr. Pepper plan in the world. Does anyone remember the 10, 2, 4 slogan and commercials. For that matter do you remember the days when soda bottles were 5 cents? We spent about two hours or more looking at all the old stuff including bottles and watching the movie they had. Lots of neat stuff. They also have a souvenir store with all kinds of stuff from glassware, t shirts and Dr. Pepper itself. We bought some. The old doc's soda fountain was my favorite; I ordered a Dr Pepper float and a chicken salad sandwich. It was good. They also have Moon Pies (pronounced Moon Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii), I grew up on moon pies but my buddies had never had one so they were excited to try them, I got a lot of teasing. Oh yes they had two flavors the banana flavor and the standard chocolate flavored ones. So, if you are in Waco with nothing to do go get some old Dr. Pepper soda and browse the museum. Would I go back? Yes, especially for Moon Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiis! read more

Begin With The History Of Dublin Dr. Pepper. End With A Delicious Soda Float. This is a perfect example of the resilience of people. After bottling the Dr. Pepper soft drink for more than 100 years, a law suit forced drastic change on this company. In spite of this conflict, the company is embracing the change. Dublin Bottling Works now produces 11 original sodas, none of which are close to the dearly departed Dublin Dr. Pepper. The flavors we tried were tasty and refreshing! Start with the staples: Vintage Cola, Texas Root Beer and Tart & Sweet Lemonade. Then try the more unconventional flavors of Sweet Peach, Blueberry Breese, Black Cherry and Cherry Limeade. All of their drinks use granulated pure cane sugar, as opposed to the cheaper alternatives of high fructose cane syrup or newer alternative, liquid cane sugar (which is used in the Imperial Sugar Dr. Pepper currently being marketed). On the guided tour, sample six of these delicious flavors. As you sip the samples, explore the old equipment as the guide explains the bottling process. These machines date back to the early 1900s. Even now, the equipment is fully-functional, operating once a year as part of Dublin Bottling Work's birthday celebrations. After the bottling room, two museum areas showcase years of Dr. Pepper memorabilia. The guide uses the pieces of soft drink history to tell the story of Dublin Dr. Pepper, and the newly-revived Dublin Bottling Works. Our guide cheerfully answered all of our questions. After the tour, do not miss the ice cream floats served in the soda shop. You can choose from six creamy Blue Bell ice cream flavors and all eleven Dublin Bottling Works soft drinks. The shop also sells their sodas in singles, six packs, or by the case. The soda shop and museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Sunday 1:00 to 5:00 PM, with tours offered every 45 minutes. The guided tour can be purchased for $5.00 per adult. Self-guided tours are also available, but not all areas can be viewed. read more

Awesome tour on Saturday with my group of Autistic students. They had a wonderful time learning about the history between Dublin and Dr. Pepper. It's a great place to take a school group or just to take a tour on a Saturday afternoon when out exploring the back roads of Texas. read more

We love visiting with our family! Everyone is so warm and welcoming. We always bring our out of town guests!

Super cute and worth stopping. The helpful teens gladly got out boxes of postcards upon inquiry. Please don't confuse this Dublin Dr. Pepper Museum with the Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco. The Dublin establishment is the ONLY place that still makes Dr. Pepper with cane sugar. This weekend the new "Museum Annex" opens. That's right, they've expanded. Go check out the new digs and then go to Granny Clark's up the road to eat. read more

LOVE Dublin Dr. Pepper!!!! It's one of those things that makes you mouth hurt after a few of them because they are so sweet. THe museum has some really cool vintage soda items. They also have a huge festival every year for the original Dr. Pepper. I would suggest taking a stroll to shop afterwards because you can get a soda float which is amazing OMG!!! They also have some unique gifts for Dr. Pepper fans. read more

I'm not much for touristy things that you have to pay $$ for. This I figured why not. I came down to get my dad some of the Dublin Dr. Pepper he loves so much. He cant get it in DFW as they only sell it in 100 mile radius to the factory. I love to take care of my dad when I live at home, so I packed up the kid and away we went for a little weekend to Fort Hood. You can order the drinks through the website, but its cheaper to just go there and get it (provided you're within driving distance) To sum it up, it was just fun. Everybody gets a bottle of the Dr. Pepper (it has cane sugar). We sit around sipping and listening to tales of the history of the Dr. Pepper factory. It has a bottler that you can touch. They use it certain days of the week also. Lots and lots of Dr. Pepper memorabilia. Its not a lot of walking either. When your done, you can go to the side that has stuff for sale. I bought ten cases of the Dr. Pepper Took me forever to buy those as there's one line for everything. I choose not to eat there as it would have taken forever. Also, the prices were a little high for what it was. It's all sandwich's and crap. The bad thing about this place is that its always packed. The manager told me this as he helped me pack the cases into my car (he had to get some from the back). My uncle loved the old NuGrape with cane sugar and I was gonna get him some, so I also inquired as to if they had it (all I saw was regular NuGrape cans) Low and behold, I was told they do do NuGrape with sugar on occasion. They only do it in bottles. Problem is, you have to provide the bottles. I can order some through China or India, but then we're starting to look into big money. I don't think my uncle will drink enough to warrant me getting them. Especially since he's diabetic and his wife watches his diet like a hawk. A little bit of planning and Dr. Pepper can be part of a nice weekend for you. The area out here is so economically depressed. Why should you go spend you money overseas on vacation? Spend it here. read more

Dublin Bottling Works still in business. Great collection of Dr. Pepper memorabilia in the museum, but most interesting to us was that it is a working plant making unique-flavored sodas with pure cane sugar. So, the stop ended up being more of a plant tour The store, soda fountain, and museum was a nice break in the trip. Museum and soda fountain takes all cards and cash. Encourage readers to research a little about the lawsuit brought against the bottling plant by Dr. Pepper/Snapple in 2012. They do not allow what was the first bottler of Dr. Pepper (Dublin Bottling Works) to bottle their product any longer - a bottler that never went the high fructose corn syrup route to save $. Nice little town and stop to enjoy some soda flavors unique to Dublin. read more

Well, I am leaving another review, because there are 3 different businesses associated in the same block. A must see museum, and even if you don't like Dr. Pepper of soft drinks period, you will love it just for the history of the man who started it. read more

On our day trip during Spring Break we stopped in to see the Dublin Dr. Pepper Museum. We had to purchase tickets at Doc's. The only thing with this is that in order to purchase tickets we had to stand in line with the people purchasing food and sodas which took 30 minutes just to get our tour tickets. If planning a guided tour you will need to take this into account otherwise you may miss the scheduled guided tour. I purchased the self tour tickets but wished I would have purchased the guided tour instead. It was very interesting to learn the history and see the memorabilia. read more

Very cool piece of history. The soda jerks are not "jerks" at all! Very friendly and helpful with plentiful samples of all the flavors of sodas they still make there with real sugar - no corn syrup. Fun place to stop and ice cream for the kiddos! read more

Interesting if you are a Dr. Pepper fan. The tour of the bottling machine is pretty neat.

Stopped by as a spur of the moment deal. Enjoyed a delicious root beer float and did the tour. The museum is smaller than I expected but really neat if you're passing through. Great selection of old school pop. read more

This was a cute place. My parents and I went during the week in the morning and were able to have a private tour. Our tour guide was friendly and allowed us plenty of questions. This would have received 5 stars but though ppl were friendly they are a bit stand offish at first, Im use to business welcoming and greeting people from the start and our tour didn't start on time. But other than that it was a good experience. read more

This soda shop and museum is very interesting and delicious! We loved the hand crafted sodas and milkshakes at the soda fountain. The guided tour was really great and allowed us to see the history of soda bottling and the whole story of the Dr Pepper drama. The staff was very friendly and informative. read more
