No phones, no TV, and no WiFi...and music is strictly forbidden within the walls of this old pub. Stepping inside, you'll find yourself treading upon two centuries' worth of Guinness spills and remnants of old tobacco strewn across the floor.

This quaint watering hole, located just outside the gates of Glasnevin Cemetery, is a place seemingly frozen in time - a relic from the past.

Countless tales, many intertwined with the realm of the departed, linger within the walls of this pub, waiting to be shared...
