It's called Zu Fährer in Stralsund. From 1332, it solidly beats Ye Olde Cheddar Cheese in London, which is a mere whippersnapper from 1667.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Ireland is famed for its pubs, but Sean’s Bar is the crown jewel. Situated in Athlone, this watering hole dates back to the year 900.
Yes, that's ninehundred.

I'm not upset though and I hope you enjoy the no doubt historic athmosphere and possibly also very traditional beer.
No stranger to visitors, the pub welcomes tourists and locals alike to enjoy its historic ambiance alongside a pint of Irish whiskey or beer.
The Irish drink whiskey in pints?
Shit, I guess I could've chosen a better source. In any case my 5-min-research suggested that the oldest pub debate is complicated.
I'm gettin one.
I was wondering the same thing. I guess I need to go back to visit again.
You can tell them about The Royal Standard which dates back to 1086 and is in the Doomsday Book or Ye Olde Fighting Cocks which is dated to 793.
I was going to bring Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem up, but I see they don't have documentation! Shocking lack of paperwork.
Not nearly dull enough for this club, sorry sir.
What pub? I feel like I've been in a dozen places that claimed to be Britain / Europe / world's oldest pub. Not that it matters, a good pint in a nice pub is great thing!
Cheers!
Pub as bar or as "british bar" and where is it? Cheers pal
Might be racy depending on what you're drinking...
