Ye Olde Mitre Tavern - est. 1546
Holborn, England: Originally a watering hole for the help (the servants of the Bishops of Ely), this place is most famous for housing a cherry tree that Queen Elizabeth once danced around with Sir Christopher Hatton (Brits, who knows).
Fun fact: Martyrs and traitors and thieves and whoever were hung pretty much on its doorstep.
