John Kavanagh The Gravediggers in Dublin

A great little old style pub! I would definitely recommend you pay a visit at least once! Try the coddle soup!

Top notch pints of Guinness and wonderful food for a cool day.

We tried the beef and Guinness stew, and it was absolutely delicious! The waiters were very friendly and helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm, traditional, and inviting, and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend!

We we're here on Saturday and it was extremely busy, loads of people outside and very full inside, despite this we had a seat for food in just 20 mins, the pub had a really good atmosphere but at times it was so loud we had to shout at each other to hear ourselves, not a complaint just because it was so full, amazing character and the pub looks like it hasn't been changed since the 40s or 50s, very authentic feel and i loved it! The Guinness was quality's and very cheap, the young lady from the restaurant side came and found us for our table, obviously being a restaurant it was much quieter in there but it still had a lovely buzz and atmosphere, the food again was very reasonable priced and it was absolute quality, the coddle was unreal, the Christmas Arancini was exceptional and the irish spring rolls with an apple and mustard sauce was masif! Loved Kavanaghs and will definitely be back soon!

I’ve waited 2 years to visit this pub purely for the Guinness after hearing it was the best on the planet. I can confirm that even with a hangover it was the best pint of Guinness I have ever had. If I ever return to Dublin I will come back here.

We tried the restaurant side and it was simply perfect! Warm, friendly, caring and delicious. I want to come back, I came for the cuisine and I will come back for that AND also for the professional and extremely friendly staff (special mention for the young waitress who comes from Montreal who took care of us with a lot of attention and kindness). We passed by the pub side and there it's not the same atmosphere, the welcome there was freezing, it's a shame such a difference, especially incomprehensible.

This pub is next door to a cemetery, adding to the atmosphere when you visit. It is run by 8th generation of ownership and worth the visit. Many locals come for their meals. We sat and talked with one such locals. Other visitors arrive via Taxi or Uber. We reached it via bus and it dropped us off about 50 meters, very convenient. It is a well known pub in Dublin. The food served are on a limited menu. I highly recommend their seafood chowder. They used very fresh ingredients and is a welcoming dish for a rainy cold December night. If you get a chance, come early to visit the cemetery before settling at the pub or restaurant for a pint. They are closed Sundays and Mondays. We enjoyed everything about the place.

Fabulous old school pub. Great Guinness and equally good welcome from the staff

A 190+ year old pub near by the National Botanic Gardens. The bar has nice dark decor and the age shows, it's not worn out or tired though. Lovely dark floor and furniture and honey colored walls. No music and no TV, just a nice place to sit, have a drink and talk. Friendly staff. Next to a large, intersting looking, cemetery.

Blinding pint of Guinness, friendly staff, great ambience. Worth the small trek out from the centre. Deserves all its plaudits!
