Four Irish pubs have been named in the top 25 best bars in Europe as part of the European Bar Guide's Top 100 Bars in Europe for 2025.
Two of the pubs are located in Dublin and are known for being great spots for a pint or two.
The two that made the list are John Kavanagh The Gravediggers in Glasnevin and Grogans on South William Street. Gravediggers placed the highest with 14th-placed finish.
The Guide described Gravediggers as: "Heaven in Glasnevin, where all the tall tales about the 'best Guinness in Dublin ' finally come true."
Writing about Grogans, which placed 24th, they said: "Getting a seat at this iconic pub becomes ever more difficult, but there are strong reasons to persevere."
Two other Irish pubs made the list, both in Dingle Co. Kerry.
Tig Bhris in Ballyferriter, which the Guide describes as "a small West Kerry brewery with cask beer in a wonderfully cosy pub with views of the peninsula", placed 28th.
Meanwhile, Dick Mack's on Green Street placed 17th.
The Guide described it as a "brewery, wall of whisky, habadashery, garden, good craic and good song".
La Fleur En Papier Doré in Brussels was given the top spot.
Three Belgian pubs made up the top five.
Germany and Hungary also featured heavily on the list.
