What do Sean’s Bar visitors reviews this place?
I was excited to be able to say that I went to the world’s oldest pub when I visited a few years back. The beer was good, the environment and atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for – just a great time. I’m very excited to say that I’ll be bringing my extended family back to Athlone in a few weeks to see Sean’s again and have a pint (or a few more). Not only is it a great pub, it’s also history.
Highly recommend anyone visiting Ireland take a stop in Athlone for the town and for Sean’s. I don’t need to recommend it to the locals. They already know.
My husband wanted to stop here as soon as we were planning our trip to Ireland. As it got closer I was afraid we’d have to skip this place since it wasn’t on our route, but we made a detour and I’m so glad we did. Such an interesting place with a lot of history. It seemed so small when we first walked in but if you go back the hallway past the bathrooms it opens up into a ton of space. We went on a weekday in the afternoon so it wasn’t insanely packed. They had music and the staff were so nice and personable.
Great little pub. Every seat was full and the staff are great.
Very solid pint of Guiness. Be prepared to take off all the clothes you can with out being arrested, cause it’s hot in here! They have their own whiskey which hits the spot.
Well worth a visit

BEST BAR IN THE WORLD! I loved it!!! It was worth it to plan my road trip from Ballina to Dublin on this route just to visit this old bar. The place is super cozy, with perfect music and volume, a fireplace with a fantastic smell, low lights, and good selections of drinks. It was just the perfect place! They have their own selection of Sean’s licors
Sean’s Bar has been researched thoroughly by the Guinness Book of Records and proudly holds the record for “The Oldest Pub in Ireland” with an official dating of 900AD. Research is ongoing into the title of “The Oldest Pub in the World, so far as nothing older has been found. According to legend, Sean’s Pub was originally called Luain’s Inn. The story goes that, around 900 A.D., an innkeeper, Luain Mac Luighdeach, would help travelers get across the waters of the nearby River Shannon before any bridge was ever built. It is a must place to visit for sure 👍
