    Sean’s Bar, located in Athlone, Ireland, holds the distinction of being the oldest pub in Ireland, with a history dating back over 1,000 years. According to historical records and archaeological evidence, the establishment was originally built in the 10th century, situated along the ancient route that once connected the east and west of Ireland. This venerable pub has evolved over centuries, reflecting Ireland's rich heritage and serving as a social hub for both locals and travelers. The structure itself, with its traditional thatched roof and wooden interior, has preserved much of its historical charm, making it a living monument to Ireland's past.
    Throughout its long history, Sean’s Bar has witnessed significant events and changes in Ireland, from medieval times through the turbulent eras of the English conquest and Irish independence. It has served as a meeting place for historical figures, poets, and revolutionaries. Despite the passage of time and numerous renovations, Sean’s Bar has maintained its authentic atmosphere, providing patrons with a unique experience that intertwines with Ireland’s historical narrative. Today, it remains a popular destination for visitors who wish to experience a piece of Irish history while enjoying a pint in an atmosphere that has been enjoyed for centuries.

    I’m pretty sure the Irish raiders of 1100-1200 didn’t have such nice glass mugs, nor was the beer quite as clear… And they certainly didn’t hold it and gingerly sip it like Finley sipping a glass of juice..

          Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s not an actual photo from that era.

            Really? I wasn’t sure.

            If they are staging a photo, they could have staged it better is all I’m saying,

                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          Yup. We've talked about this before. As Mark Twain said, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."

                                          Extending that thought - if you're dressed like a slob, people will treat you like a slob. Look at any photos regarding air or train travel from the 1950s and even up to the 1970s. It was different. Now they have to tell you not to take your shoes off and clip your toenails on an airplane.
