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.
