John Kavanagh "The Gravediggers"

PubLocals' pick

Family-run since 1833 and built into the wall of Glasnevin Cemetery, with no music and no TV, so the pint and the talk are the point. Gravediggers once tapped the wall and a pint was passed through the railings; it tops Lovin Dublin's list of the city's best pints.
