John Kavanagh The Gravediggers in Dublin is perhaps the most classic Irish Pub in the world.
Since 1833, for the last eight generations, the Kavanagh family has been serving cold pints of Guinness to their patrons. Many say this is the place to get the best pint of Guinness in Dublin, and that’s saying something.
The pub is called The Gravediggers because they share a wall with the Glasnevin cemetery, where more than 1.5 million Dubliners lay to rest. Back in the day, the older generations of Kavanaghs would sell their beer to the Gravediggers through the boundary fence.
These days, Ciaran Kavanagh, along with his wife, his sister and other family, are all keeping the family tradition alive and well.
Their addition: a menu of tapas inspired by Irish food. Now, customers can visit The Gravediggers not just for a pint of Guinness, but for traditional coddle, beef stew, crispy mac and cheese, and a variety of other fare.

I’ve never seen Guinness poured so horribly. Has to be ragebait.
i see nothing wrong
One of the best pints in Ireland is gravediggers
@fanieldox Then you’ve never been trained how to pour a Guinness.
3:06 Haha
“a generational family” as opposed to…?
In business..nine generations of one family continuously is a feat in itself & usually there’s three generations working side by side each day
I saw Guinness, I tapped fast 😂
It’s funny how he mentioned that the more money you have the closer you work to God when in the Bible that contradictory
No the monuments in the graveyard
stew’s 🤤
Go here as often as I can when on the Northside! Guinness is class. To the tourists, the pub is brilliant and well worth a visit when you are here. Please try the Irish spring rolls, Ciaran is doing serious work in the kitchen. I’ll be going for a pint here on Tuesday when work is done.
Christ, yer one that married into the place wasn’t short of an opinion! The woman that actually grew up there barely got a word in!
Anne’s very shy on camera
Oh that’s me they asked me to join in to help .. & they control the edit.. I’m more used to being in the background.. but I have also worked there & support in other ways too ❤ Anne’s amazing & phenomenal
@AlfredaOBrienKavanaghYou were lovely, don’t listen to him
Sounds like you could do with a nice Coddle 🙂
@aviacohen3128thanks so much x

Legends
Absolute legends deserving of all the recognition!
if you ever find yourself in the South of the Netherlands, in a place called Sittard…come visit “De Gats” <3
Our first trip to Dublin is coming up this October. Your pub was already high on my list of places to visit, but seeing this video makes it a priority. See you in a few weeks!
@kellyscott5675hope we don’t disappoint you
This is so nice!❤
I had lunch there in April. They serve some fine gastropub fare. The Coddle was great, the jalapeño mac n cheese was fantastic as well. The Guinness was delicious.
I went here exactly one year ago (26th August 2025) and had the coddle, how did Munchies know?
Ugh poor fella.why you go with the coddle?
@BoyleJran adventurous tourist (I also had no idea what it was until about 2 hours after I had eaten it)
@Os22222gfffhaha fair play buddy.its usually best you dont know.the ingredients are great on paper ,just horribly prepared all over dublin😂
@BoyleJrI honestly really enjoyed it, granted I had nothing to really compare it with
Ya Dads a hero If only more people had tried to stop Bono playing 😂
😅😅
An amazing pub with the best Guinness I ever tasted. Was there in June, and I can’t wait to go back to try the food and drink more of the best Guinness in Ireland.
Lovely place, have a few pints, have those delicious chili prawns they do, head out into the graveyard a bit pissed and have a little cry at Brendan Behan’s grave, a perfect day
Do they have merch?
❤️❤️❤️ Love this place so much, i was there a month ago and very deserving of all the recognition! ❤️❤️❤️
This place has the best Guinness I ever tasted.
Don’t ever rub grass or anything on a headstone ever. Don’t deface them. If you want to read one there are techniques that leave no trace. 7:14
I don’t drink any more but I will if I ever get to visit this amazing place.
No music, no TVs. Man we need these kind of pubs in the US.
Turns out that “The more money you had, the closer you got to God” is utter bullshit, as exemplified by this beautiful story.
The higher your monument
That place looks haunted 😳😳
Very badly disguised Guiness ad, but I would go to that place nonetheless. Looks cozy and has a nice story. I don’t know if the custom of leaving one pint for the dead is true or not, but is good anecdote to tell and sounds very Irish.
I’m actually getting homesick watching this
