Reviews
"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."
"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."
"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! :-)"
"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"
