There’s nothing like a few centuries of history to accompany a drink, which is perhaps why so many different bars, pubs, inns and taverns like to advertise the year they were founded. From pubs claiming to be among the world’s oldest to bars that have hosted luminaries or witnessed significant events unfold, these are some of the most historic drinking spots around the world. It’s worth checking the latest travel restrictions and individual bar websites before travelling in case of any temporary closures or altered opening hours.
