HIS Majesty's Excise Store 1821 is a Grade II listed warehouse (RPS 5070) on Mayor Street Lower in Dublin , built around 1821, in the same period as Stack A and Stack B on Custom House Quay.

The building, like the other warehouses, is made of brown brick and granite. Inside the building there is a tall, narrow chamber with a barrel vault over the entire width of the front, behind which are the remains of a parallel vault. Originally there were sixteen such chambers in two separate rows.

During the remodeling of Custom House Quay and George's Dock, this building was also restored around the year 2000. A patchwork of old structure and modern glass facades was created, as can be seen in the design of the main entrance, which now consists of modern steel stairs and a glazed balustrade.

The old Excise Store is said to be due to the British architect George Papworth , who was particularly active in Ireland. The concept of the building is similar to that of the Stack A warehouse.

Today the Excise Building is used for sales. There is a Korean restaurant called "Drunken Fish" in the building. In addition to the old brick, the plaque above the house entrance with the engraved old name "HIS Majesty's Excise Store 1821" reminds of its former function.
