Sean’s Bar, in Athlone , County Westmeath, with its walls made of wattle and wicker interwoven with horse hair and clay, has been in business since the Dark Ages. 900 AD to be exact. Located near to the ruins of a 12th-Century Norman Castle, it is the oldest continuously serving public house in Ireland, and many believe it to be the oldest in the world. Open before the discovery of whiskey and beer as we know it, mead was the house specialty.
