Title says it all, really. I'm not sure if this is a bit too racy for this community!

It's called Zu Fährer in Stralsund. From 1332, it solidly beats Ye Olde Cheddar Cheese in London, which is a mere whippersnapper from 1667.

Ireland is famed for its pubs, but Sean’s Bar is the crown jewel. Situated in Athlone, this watering hole dates back to the year 900.

Yes, that's ninehundred.

I'm not upset though and I hope you enjoy the no doubt historic athmosphere and possibly also very traditional beer.

No stranger to visitors, the pub welcomes tourists and locals alike to enjoy its historic ambiance alongside a pint of Irish whiskey or beer.

The Irish drink whiskey in pints?

I was wondering the same thing. I guess I need to go back to visit again.

You can tell them about The Royal Standard which dates back to 1086 and is in the Doomsday Book or Ye Olde Fighting Cocks which is dated to 793.

I was going to bring Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem up, but I see they don't have documentation! Shocking lack of paperwork.

What pub? I feel like I've been in a dozen places that claimed to be Britain / Europe / world's oldest pub. Not that it matters, a good pint in a nice pub is great thing!
