The Big Smoke Interlude

Happy New Year! As we get  ready for our post-Christmas episodes please enjoy our third 'minisode' courtesy of resident bartender, Alex Buckley. He delves into why we call our local pubs, our local haunts... at one of Dublin’s most Haunted Pubs, John Kavanagh ’The Gravediggers’ in Glasnevin.
