Sean’s Bar Whiskey Experience

Sean’s Bar Whiskey Experience is a little different from your conventional whiskey tasting event. You will of course taste our two own whiskey blends, Sean's Luain Edition Specially Blended Whiskey and also our Single Malt "Clonmacnoise".


Our experience will begin in the main bar with a talk and tour of Ireland's oldest pub where you learn about the amazing history of the pub, including Luain the very first Inn Keeper and the many other colourful characters who owned the pub throughout the centuries. We will also bring you back in time and talk about the drinking habits of the Irish throughout the years which has led to our worldwide reputation for having a fondness for pub life and having the craic. We will then bring you upstairs where you will sample our own whiskeys in the comfort of the Boathouse.


The price for the whiskey experience is €15 per person which will include a drink on arrival (Sean's Whiskey or our own house beer) Minimum group size is 6 people and booking in advance is essential. For more information or availability please contact us on 090 649 2358 or email info@seansbar.ie.

Daily Historical Talks

Daily Tour of Sean's bar and Historical Whiskey Talk by Timmy Donovan @ 11am

Sean's bar is delighted to announce that we will host a daily tour of the pub and historical whiskey talk every morning hosted by Timmy Donovan. Timmy has been at Sean's for almost 40 years and has a great knowledge of the pub, the town, and indeed many events connected with the river Shannon throughout the years. All tours will be welcomed by Timmy and he loves to talk about the history of Ireland's oldest pub dating right back to 900AD. Each group will also hear about the very origin of whiskey itself on Lough Ree where the monks brought back the secrets of Uisce Beatha and distilling to their main monasteries and where they perfected the art of whiskey making. This is an amazing story and guests can enjoy a Sean's Irish Whiskey or indeed an Irish coffee while listening to Timmy.

 

For individual or larger groups please phone 090 649 2358 or email info@seansbar.ie and we can arrange a time to suit.
