How It All Started…

Well, to know how it all began, you’d have to go back a long way, back to 900AD in fact, when Luain Mac Luighdeach decided to set up an inn on the banks of the Shannon. There have been a few changes since then, but the inn is going strong over a thousand years later, as Sean’s Bar.
