Historic & Iconic Dublin pub also known as 'The Gravediggers'. If it's an authentic Irish Pub you are after - this is it. NOT jazzed up, or remodelled. This is the Real Deal. Called the Gravediggers because in the past they used to serve through a hatch into the adjacent Glasnevin Cemetery...digging graves is thirsty work!
