# Irish pubs

What is a pub?

They are businesses that serve food and drink with a friendly atmosphere related to culture, such as Irish sports and traditional Irish music. We can find pubs all around the world but they have the origin in the UK. There are over 7,000 Irish themed pubs worldwide. Often, outside Ireland, the Irish theme extends only to the name and the decor, while the menus are similar to other restaurants in the area.

If you don't remember how Irish music sounds have some time to listen and enjoy!

Irish music has a Celtic origin and it is very famous. Listen to it and then share your impressions.

- Did you know this type of music?
- Do you like it?
- Is there a similar music in your area?

Where does the name "pub" come from?

The word “pub” comes from “public house". If the pub has rooms to sleep at night, it is usually called an inn.

What is the difference between a bar and a pub?

A British pub cannot be confused with an American bar. Pubs are an important part of the life and culture in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

Bars serve only drinks. A Pub generally is a place to have fun, eat and drink.

What is the oldest pub in Ireland?

The "oldest pub in Ireland" is in Athlone, Co. Westmeath from the 10th century. Sean's Bar is officially the oldest pub in Ireland and the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records (2004).

Although most of the evidence found during excavations are now at the National Museum of Ireland, some of the coins from the original establishment are on the walls of the pub.

One of Northern Ireland’s best known pubs, the Crown Liquor Saloon is one of the last Victorian palaces on the island. It has a lavish design, inside and out.

There are some elements typical of the Irish pub interior, richly decorated ceilings and a red stone bar top. The rest is an example of Victorian lavishness, with ornate wood carving, polished brass, glass, polychromatic tiles and period gas lights.
