A must visit if you enjoy pubs and are in the area. My parents took us here as it was the oldest pub in Ireland and it is an amazing place. Lots of history with a nice vibe and a really nice range of tasty drinks. They don't serve food but all you need is a liquid lunch. Staff are very friendly and they also offer some nice memorabilia.
The most fun I had during my two-week stay in Ireland. As a solo traveler going into a bar alone can be great or a disaster. The bar staff are the absolute best! The patrons are just as lovely. This pub is the area's melting pot and is guaranteed to make you smile. When I left, the man tending security and the door noticed me taking a photo of the sign and quickly offered to take a picture of me in front of it. That was super sweet and thoughtful. When traveling alone, I do not want to burden people by asking them to take a photo of me, and some memories are missed. I'm so glad he offered Thanks for the delicious pints, the good company, and for the memories that will last a lifetime.
There was no way that I was going to Ireland without having a pint at the oldest pub in Ireland and probably the world! Literally my only requirement on our schedule :-D Was not disappointed! The atmosphere is awesome, the service was great, the staff is very friendly and happy to share the history of Sean's. My only regret is that, in my revelry at having a pint in the same pub as Vikings probably had a drink, I forgot to ask about getting my Guinness perfect pour certificate. Oh well, I guess I have to come back! :-
Stopped in on the way back to Dublin. Bartenders loved sharing stories of the bar, the city, and their love of the area. Service was excellent and they allowed us behind the bar for a picture. Fantastic, historical stop while in the area.
A must visit just because it was founded around 900AD. The pub hasn't served food in over 40 years so expect a liquid diet if hungry. The space is much bigger than expected if you count the back rooms. Good selection of beers
Made the trip to Athlone focusing on making my way to Sean’s bar. Considered to be started in the year 900AD, this is recognised as the oldest pub in Ireland and one among the few that’s the oldest in the world. The place was an experience in terms of the old fashioned look to it and it’s history. But in terms of drinks, I personally don’t think it was the best. Had beers and Irish coffee. Irish coffee was average. Overall experience was great in terms of being In a place that had been in existence over centuries.
My wife and I visited Sean's Bar with our guide and new friend Robbie Allen. We didn't have time to drink or eat but what we saw of the bar was very impressive and the atmosphere seemed very friendly and welcoming. Tourists from all around the world who have visited Sean's Bar presumably because of its reputation as the oldest bar in the world. Very cool!
Amazing atmosphere and heritage to this bar and a bloody good pint of Guinness. We bought their gin as well which is very tasty. A must-stop place to sample the black stuff and soak in the ambience.
Great historic Irish Pub in the heart of Athlone. Warm fire made it refreshingly cozy on a cold ‘Irish weather’ day. Chatty Ryan was awesome! If you’re coming from Galway bring him a burrito!! Wife’s input: “Amazingly clean women’s bathroom.” she included photo proofRecommended dishesJameson's with Ginger and Lime and Guinness
Misleadingly small from the outside this bar extends much further to the rear and indeed even further back in time. Proven to be Ireland's oldest bar, this establishment is steeped in culture and history dating back to before your own earliest genealogical records. With memorabilia strewn throughout, there are plenty of original artifacts and records on the walls and in the minds of the highly knowledgeable bar crew. This is not just a bar but a time capsule positioned in the centre of a trading haven for early merchants and military. There is no other bar in Ireland that has a castle protecting it. And worthy of note, the Guinness is extraordinary. One of my favourite Irish bars by far.
