John Kavanagh The Gravediggers in Dublin

Best point of Guinness in Dublin by far

Best pint of Guinness we had in Dublin. The vibes were great - staff and other patrons made it a lot of fun. Would absolutely recommend!

Still the best pint of Guinness around. My only problem is it is so popular it is hard to get a spot to sit. So go early or during the week if you want a quiet pint.

I’ve been meaning to get here for years, the Guinness is legendary. So to say expectations were high, is an understatement. Vibe in the bar is really relaxed - mind you this was a Wednesday. Seats were hard to come by, it’s not a huge pub so be prepared to have your drinks outside. As for the Guinness.. it’s good, it’s very good. Best pint I’ve ever had? No… but it’s on my top list going forward - I’ll need to go back before it can claim the top spot for me. Will be back for sure to check out the graveyard and quench my never ending thirst for Guinness

Called in this evening with my parents. Food was great & a lovely atmosphere. Stand out was two of the lovely staff, I should have asked for their names. My Dad loved the warm custard with the dessert and appreciated the effort made during our meal!

What a gem. The staff was just lovely and the food was amazing too. Fresh ingredients prepared with love. I especially recommend the seafood chowder.

You travel across counties for a place like this. Known through the land as the best pint of Guinness, I can't confirm or deny that but I can say it's absolutely smashing. Great atmosphere and a great story about the pub aswell.

Both the restaurant and pub were amazing. The coddle was maybe the best soup I’ve ever had in my life! A+

Yummy, interesting history, super friendly servers, good value. Had the Irish egg rolls and cottle-yum! Again-the servers were sooooo nice and welcoming!
