Sean’s Bar
There’s a pub in Ireland that’s been running for more than 1,100 years! Sean’s Bar in Athlone in Ireland has been open for business since about 900 AD, with records of every owner of the pub since its founding. While surprising at first, it makes sense that it has stood the test of time. Sean’s Bar is in the middle of a town that’s pretty much smack-bang in the center of Ireland. Source: The Fact Site

It’s nice for business owners when a note of fame surrounds your establishment. Here to wish you a happy Wednesday!
That’s a lot of fame. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
OHHH we want to go there!!!! Living in history with a glass of beer!
Me too. I’d love to have a brew there. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
We traveled through Ireland many years ago…..friendly people everywhere but you could count on finding friends in every little establishment like this in every little town. Always a warm welcome.
Hugs, Pam
I’m sure of that. A country I’d love to visit. Happy 10th birthday, Teddy. 🙂
They must serve delicious foods if they’ve been in business this long!
I’m guessing it’s the booze that’s the draw. Happy day and rest of the week. Scritches to Duke. 🙂
That is a long time to be in business. I’m wondering if it has had the same name the whole time or if it has changed with different owners.
I don’t know, but I’m guessing the name has never changed. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
It looks like a fun place! We would love to see how it has changed in looks over time.
I would love to see that too. I think I’ll try to find out more about this bar. 🙂
What a welcoming place, and how impressive they have been in business that long. Happy Wednesday.
It’s very welcoming. I’d love to visit and have a brew. Happy Wednesday, my friend. Love and hugs. 🙂
Me too! 🍻
Too bad there was no photography 1,100 years ago. I wonder what the building looked like over the years. Alana ramblinwitham
I would love to see that too. I think I’ll see if I can find something. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Now I have to go there. This is the kind of historical monument I love. 🤣😎🙃
That makes two of us. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
WOW! That is amazing. Thanks for hosting. Have a great day. XO
I thought so too. You have a great day, Ellen. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Kind of like an Irish “Cheers” bar.
That’s a great way to look at it. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
That sure is amazing and hooray for them!
Yes indeed. Hooray for them. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
The amazing stories Sean’s Bar could tell. A credit to their care of their history that the building looks so well-maintained too. Thank you, Sandee, and happy Wordless Wednesday. Much love and hugs to you, dear friend.
I know there would be many stories, both fun and some sad. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Love and hugs, dear friend. 🙂
Yes indeed. Thank you dear friend! Much love and hugs to you!
Sean must have been a popular fellow!
I’m guessing your right about that. Happy Wednesday. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
That’s very interesting. It probably looked somewhat different back then.
I would think it did. What a rich history. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Wow, over 1,100 years of history in one pub–that’s incredible! 🍻
I can only imagine the stories those walls could tell!
Happy Wednesday!
It sure is. I’m sure there are millions of stories. Happy Wednesday, Veronica. 🙂
Such history! That is really cool about Sean’s Bar!
Happy WW, Sandee! I hope you’re having a terrific day! Love and hugs. xo
I agree, Kymber. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂
Wow! That bar must be doing something right to stay in business that long.
You’re right about that. That’s a very long time to be in business. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
How cool it is to have something that historic!! Thanks for sharing!
I thought so too. I had no idea. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
Oh wow! Great history and lovely pub ~
Hugs and love from me and Ziggy
I agree with you, Carol. A place I would love to visit. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
OH how happy it makes me to read about Sean’s and that the value of it as it was originally built is treasured. I love the outside colors
Hugs cecilia
I loved this too. Something that has lasted so long. Happy Wordless Wednesday, Cecelia. Love you. 🙂
I don’t know of any other business that has been in business for 1,100 years. That has to be some kind of record.
I’m guessing you’re right about that. I found this most amazing. Happy Wordless Wednesday, my friend. 🙂
That looks like a cute place. Mom is half irish and would love to go to Ireland, but at her age she knows it isn’t going to happen. Thanks for linking us up and visiting. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid & Sawyer, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Kizmet, Audrey, Raleigh, Gibbs & Tali
I would love to visit there too, but we don’t travel anymore either. Scritches to all the kitties, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and a big hug to you. 🙂
How cool that that pub has been there so long! It’s also interesting that the concept of the pub has been around that long, and in many ways hasn’t changed much 😺🍻
I agree with you. I found this so very interesting. Thanks for joining in on the hop. 🙂
Incredible old this place. And it looks so … young!
And inside is very beautiful. Thank you for this presentation, dear Sandee.
Happy WW and a fine week! Love and joy!❤️😘
All the owners have taken great care of this treasure. Love and hugs, Suzana. 🙂
So much history in one place. You can just hear the laughter and some other things like jokes, etc. and maybe even a brawl or two. Fun to imagine.
All of those things and more. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Talk about longevity! Apart from therlocation, I’ll bet the company and beer are pretty good too. 😉
I’m guessing you’re right about that. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Love and hugs to you and lots of scritches to handsome Wilson. 🙂
Wow, that looks like a great place. I’d love to visit someday. Have a great Wednesday and rest of the week!
Makes two of us. I’d love to have a pint here. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Yvonne. 🙂
Good to know in case I ever fulfill my dream of going to Ireland.
I know I’d visit here if I were to visit Ireland. Happy rest of the week. 🙂
Another interesting piece of history.
Thank you, Sandee, for the weekly linkup party. Happy #WW.

I love these fun tidbits of history. Happy WW and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
That’s amazing, Sandee! We wonder if the pints (Guinness) are so old too😸🍺Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day and week ahead to you, Zane and the kitties too🐾😘💞
I don’t think the beer is old. Just the business. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
That is amazing that the pub has been there for so long.
I intended posting today, even sorted out my photos, then completely forgot about it. Immunotherapy gives me brain fog and it is so annoying.
You do what you need to do. I always enjoy your visits and your posts. Love and healing hugs. 🙂
That is very cute! Happy St Patrick’s Day to you.
That would be a great place to go for St. Patrick’s Day. Brilliant idea. 🙂
That’s incredible! Thank you for sharing. Hugs, my dear.
I thought so too. I love doing these tidbits of history each week. Hugs. 🙂
Yesterday the link failed. I think your followers crashed their website. LOL It opened today, though. Hugs, my dear.
What a cool place! If I ever get to Ireland, I’ll be sure and stop by.
Same here. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Love and hugs. 🙂
That’s what we cal a place with a long history. So cool! Happy Wednesday, Sandee. 🙂
I loved this piece of history. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Wow! That’s impressive! I’d love to visit Ireland. I’ve been to England, but not Scotland or Ireland.
I’m with you. I would love to visit all three countries. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
That would be an interesting place to visit! 😎 If only the walls could talk. 🍻
What tales they would tell. Happy rest of the week, Debbie. 🙂
I am now pondering why it is blue and not green… that’s all I got other than that is a long time
I hear you. Green and Ireland just go together. 🙂
What?! That is just amazing. Millennia of business. I wonder what it looks like before and what they’re selling then!
I’m going to see if I can find out more. Happy day and weekend. 🙂
Amazing!!!!!🎉🎊🎉 We won’t ask if it’s the same family running it!!!! MOL Thank mew furry much for adding our links, we really appreciate it, mew are epic!
Great to see you. Scritches to the kitties and a hug to you. 🙂
Maybe someday I’ll get to Ireland, my Grandma’s home country.
I would love to visit Ireland. Hope you get to visit there. 🙂
I’m living in Ireland, and I never knew of this pub’s existence! That is pretty cool though!
I would love to have a pint or two there. Happy day. 🙂
