Westmeath sits at the centre of Ireland's 'oldest pub' debate. Sean's Bar in Athlone traces its story to around AD 900, and Guinness World Records certified it as Ireland's oldest pub in 2004, although surveys date most of the present building to the 17th or 18th century. Kilbeggan's distillery still works under a licence from 1757. Near Lissoy, where Oliver Goldsmith grew up, the Three Jolly Pigeons is named after the alehouse in his She Stoops to Conquer, and Mullingar hosted the very first Fleadh Cheoil in 1951.
