BARBARELLA PUB [ THE GATEWAY BAR BESIDE ELIZABETH FORT IN CORK]

125 Barrack St, The Lough, Cork, Ireland

Claims to be in business since 1698 … I did not know that Jane Fonda was that old.

I think that the Gateway Bar is the real name for this pub.

“The Gateway Bar, next to Elizabeth Fort is the oldest pub in Cork. It was established in 1698 and the Dukes of Wellington and Marlborough were among its patrons. It is possibly the oldest pub in Ireland. That title is being claimed by a few pubs in the country. The Brazen Head in Dublin had was a pub before The Gateway, but didn't hold a continuous license!
