What the guides say

“…a popular one on Anne St South, it was overtaken by a wedding party when we were in the area…”

The Wanderbug ↗

“"Everything that makes an Irish pub good is Kehoes," he says of the 19th-Century pub, whose façade is inscribed with a James Joyce quote and has mahogany-bedecked interiors.”

BBC Travel (#1) ↗

“Kehoe’s is a Victorian time capsule that, when it isn’t wedged, is a joy to spend time in.”

The Irish Road Trip ↗

“…is often considered to be one of the best pubs in Dublin, yet it’s remained a pretty non-touristy venue.”

Eating Europe ↗

Also named by Lonely Planet and r/Dublin.
