We went on a recommendation.
It's a bit out of the way, but that's better; it's more authentic.
The most home-style food we've had in Dublin—super tasty and natural.
The waitresses were very friendly and professional.
The atmosphere is fantastic.
And the price is much lower than the more touristy places in Dublin.
Don't miss it!

Absolutely superb.
I think we've tried 15 different places for a pint of Guinness on our visit this week.
Kavanagh's is easily the best.
No idea how but it's lighter and no bitter taste.

Best Guinness in all of Dublin. And we tried almost every pint I reckon. They wouldn't let us have it until the head had settled properly. It really was lighter somehow.

Easy busline from center (19 or 24), BEST Guinness hands down and fantastic food! Ate there twice while staying in Glasnevin, next to a beautiful cemetery and near botanic gardens. Perfect pub! Historic & important place, local vibe without tourists! Awesome Bourdain homage inside — iykyk.

A great place for a traditional pint of dark beer and good food. The service was really nice. Moreover, you can learn a lot of interesting things about this establishment :-) For example, how in the 19th century they served beer to gravediggers through a secret hole in the wall, since they are next door to a cemetery. Or even the fact that this pub has been operating without a break since 1833. A place with a soul!
And while you're there, I also recommend visiting the cemetery, where they say 1.5 million Dubliners lie - there are beautiful Celtic crosses there.

Oh, what a cute little pub that was! It was a stop for a Guinness on the horrible bus tour.

This place lived up to it's reputation of having one of the best pints of Guinness in Ireland. I wasn't here for the food, it was pints only and my good God, they didn't disappoint. The pint is phenomenal. The staff are very friendly considering how busy the are. And the owner even took time to chat away with us outside in the evening sun. I can't recommend this pub highly enough. If your a Guinness drinker this place is a must to visit. I will be back.
