THE OLDEST PUB in Ireland is an often contested claim.
Sean’s Bar in Athlone, however, has the most convincing. It was founded in 900 AD and is in the Guinness Book of Records as being Europe’s oldest pub.
It was originally known as Luain’s Inn, and it was owned by Boy George briefly in 1987.
A peek inside, and it looks exactly how you’d imagine an old Irish pub to look.
It’s got the fireplace
A serious pint of Guinness
Trad music
Sawdust on the floor
This PROPER cup of tea
Shite on the walls
They do fancy cocktails too
You might even see a celeb
It’s the perfect watering hole
