    Myself and famous historian ‪@bambinobecky‬ went to Athlone in Ireland to visit the world's oldest pub, Sean's Bar.
    Thanks to Timmy and all at Sean's Bar for a lovely Irish welcome and for looking after us. It's a genuinely great pub so pop in if you're ever in the area.
    You can learn more about the pub here: www.seansbar.ie
    Thanks to Beer52 for making this trip possible and for Becky for traveling to the Emerald Isle with me.

    Best thing about Seans bar is its a genuinely good pub. It has a bit of stuff for tourism but its still a good place for locals. Its a lot more real then most of the pubs that say they're old.

      When i worked in the big smoke with a lot of irish lads, on the sites in the 80's, a lot of them pronounced it "Hatlone". But they were from all over the 32, so they had their own way of pronouncing anything. T'is very similar to my shire, the white rose county. Ya can go down the road a few miles, and they all have their own "idioms". Nice little vid, Knoxy n Becky.

    Hi mate. Have you been to the smallest pub in the UK? The Nutshell in Bury St Edmunds? I imagine you may have been already, seen as it's pretty local. I thought it was the smallest pub in the world, but Google says no!

    • @johnp8131
      @johnp8131 Год назад +1

      You're right, I remember it and used it a lot when stationed nearby in the seventies. It was always competing for that title with a pub in Gloucester back then I think? However, I think the new "smallest" are either building conversions or purpose built, which is a bit unfair, if not cheating?
      As with Seán's Bar in Ireland, the Ferry Boat at Holywell, The Fighting Cocks in St Albans and Ye Olde Trip...... all in England, It all depends on the criteria?

    • @martinmay8919
      @martinmay8919 Месяц назад

      I think you will find that the smallest pub in the UK is The Signal Box in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire. As the name suggests, it use to be a signal box for the Cleethorpes miniature railway.

  • @johnp8131
    @johnp8131 Год назад +1

    Four miles from me, I have another of these "Oldest pub in the world", the Ferry Boat Inn on the river Great Ouse, parts of which are sixth century (Forget all this Ye Olde rubbish). However, only a few original parts are left and It wasn't continually a "pub", hence the name. I suppose it all depends on the criteria?
    Used to live in St Albans too, that's got another oldest pub claim, the Fighting Cocks, another spurious claim? Brilliant pub for Ale though.
    If I stuck a bar in the middle of Stonehenge, would that make it the oldest?
    I think "Seán's Bar", probably has it as the oldest recorded continual pub?

    I’m sure it’s commented, but AD so 1100AD for example means “Anno Domini” Latin for “the year of our lord”
    But more modern and more non Tory definition means “After Death”
    After death meaning after Jesus died.
    So “BC” before Christ
    “AD” after death.
