One of the finest pubs in Dublin – it’s old world, going strong since 1833 and in its 8th generation of family management. No TV, music, WiFi, frills, no nonsense. Best pint Guiness in Dublin – therefore the world! Try the Dubliners favourite “Coddle”! The name comes from its proximity to the cemetery – thirsty gravediggers had only to reach through a slot to get pint-sized relief.
