John Kavanagh The Gravediggers in Dublin

The rumours are true, great pints at the gravediggers 🍻☘️

Popped in for a pint on my first day in the city on several recommendations, and I was not lead astray. One of the best prices I paid in Dublin as well. Wish I made it back before I left the city.

Very friendly staff, good beer but the food sucks, small portions of mediocre quality. Our family spent two weeks in Ireland and this was the worst meal by far.

There’s nothing I can say that hasn’t been said already but I will echo the praise for Coddle and the Guinness. We went on a Sunday, had a couple of pints before joining the queue for the restaurant. The Waiting Staff are fantastic, those ladies earn their step count !!

Best Guinness I’ve ever had, proper boozer.

One of the finest pints in dublin

Great pub, great Guinness and the food, we just had some nibbles but very nice. The pub is a bit of a throwback in time, lovely stuff!

Amazing pub and I would love to come back more often as I just moved into the area but selling 10€ pints of Guinness is ridiculous. We were having a great time until I saw the bank notification on my phone that I had paid 20€ for 2 drinks. If that's what it has come to I might have to start warning tourists about here just like temple bar l.

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