This is the door into Seán’s Bar, the oldest pub in Ireland. It’s 1,115 years old.
A cosy welcoming little place that’s well worth a visit if you’re ever in Athlone in Co Westmeath. And very importantly, the Guinness is good!
Thursday Doors is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favourite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world. If you’d like to join in and create your own Thursday Doors post each (or any) week, visit nofacilities.com for more information.
Thank you for visiting.

Everything inside is still very old. Old stone floors too. Unfortunately I have no photos of the inside.
