John Kavanagh The Gravediggers in Dublin

Famous place to visiting in Dublin! Good food and the best Guinness pint of the Town. A place to go with friends and to spend some time there.

Best pint of Guinness I’ve ever had. Wish we could package it up and take it home 🥹

What can you say that hasn't been said a thousand times. Just a pleasure to be there and experience the legend myself. Hands down the best pub in our tour of Dublin. Unique and authentic. Can't wait to return.

Easily, the best pub im Dublin.

Anthony Bourdain recommendation with the highest honor! Thank you, this place is yummy and has the warmest welcoming feeling in the belly and in the heart ❤️

Sunday night drink with friends. No food but lovely Guiness. Proper old school pub, the only entertainment being talking to each other. No TVs, no music.

First off, the service is absolutely top class both in the bar and in the restaurant. The Guinness is outstanding. The ambience is that of a genuine old school Irish pub with no contrivances. The clientele seemed to be a mix of locals, tourists dropping in for one, and wayfarers like myself. Definitely looking forward to returning. The food wasn't bad. The coddle was very salty but that suited me perfectly. It had cocktail sausages and proper bacon ribs, and came with plenty of bread. The soup wasn't the worst I ever had. *** Returned with friends on a Friday lunch and stayed for dinner. Between us we had the coddle, meatballs, manchego and almonds, seafood chowder, and beef and Guinness stew. I reckon that the stew has to be the best thing on the menu - such tender, quality, tasty beef. The chowder is fantastic too, fresh! 😋 The place is full all day here on a Friday but with a great atmosphere and quality service all round

The staff here make the place, everyone we encountered was just lovely & so attentive, food & drink top notch 👌🏼

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.
