When a photographer was about to raise his camera and take pictures of people drinking at John Kavanagh, manager Anne Kavanagh rushed out to stop her: `Oh no, please don’t take pictures of people here, they don’t like it.`
Kavanagh is also known as Gravediggers.
Generations of the Kavanagh family have lived here and run the shop together.
`What a paradoxical pub` is a saying that many visitors have commented when referring to John Kavanagh – a long-standing pub and so familiar to people in north Dublin, Ireland.
This place is famous for its strange requirements compared to other pubs: people are not allowed to sing, dance, or make noise.
The restaurant is located right next to the cemetery.
`Three years ago, Lonely Planet placed us on the list of 50 hidden treasures in Europe. That’s something that means a lot to us, and people are curious to come here to find out.`
The bar also attracted the attention of famous chef Anthony Bourdain and this is not the only celebrity who has visited the bar.
In 1984, lead singer of the band The Dubliners, Luke Kelly died.
The restaurant, founded in 1833, has been in business for eight generations of a family, and was a wedding gift that O’Neill’s father-in-law gave to Kavanagh when he married his daughter Suzanne.
The pub then flourished and was crowded with passersby.
After that, the cemetery management board introduced new regulations.
Joseph, son of John Kavanagh, with the desire to retain his father’s business, did everything he could to make the shop crowded again.
