John Kavanagh The Gravediggers in Dublin

Best Guinness we have tasted Very small old pub with lots of character and very busy

One of the best Guinness in town!

Had a pint of Guinness and a seafood chowder at three places yesterday. Denvir's in Downpatrick, Fitzpatrick’s just outside Carlingford and the Gravediggers. Kavanagh's was the best for both. The Guinness is absolutely one of the best in Ireland and the seafood chowder is amazing. Service was efficient and friendly, Ann was wonderful. Totally recommend anyone contemplating a visit to do it. Highly recommended!

It was such amazing pub, with good old vibes, really old and cool, freling like travelling to the past. We have been lucky enough to meet its chef, such an honour and he was able to tell us amazing stories about this place. It s a must if you live in Dublin or you come for some days

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.

One of the great Dublin pubs. This place is also known as 'The Gravediggers' and has been in the Kavanagh family for seven generations. Very little has been done to this place for nearly two hundred years so it retains an authenticity. Excellent Guinness. The lounge sells the classic Dublin dish of Coddle.

I’ve had this bar on my Guinness bucket list for ages, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The staff were super friendly, especially Ciarán, whose great banter made the experience for us. We initially only popped in for one... And ended up staying for some food, which was absolutely spot on! Can’t wait to come back!

Googled this bar before we left England certainly glad I did didn’t disappoint at all from the history of the place to friendly professional bar staff fast and efficient service to the best pints of Guinness we’d tasted also have to mention the locals everyone we spoke to took the time to make us feel welcome superb place and we’ll be travelling back to Dublin specifically to visit this gem again thanks to all this is one special pub👍

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!
