McGillin’s Olde Ale House threw open its doors the year Lincoln was elected president. That’s shortly after the Liberty Bell cracked and long before ground was broken for Philadelphia City Hall. The beer taps have been flowing since 1860 — making it the oldest continuously operating tavern in Philadelphia and one of the oldest taverns in the country.

What's your favorite John Doyle story?
Stacey & Tod's story: We met John during the pandemic (summer of 2020) at Twistie’s Tavern in Strathmere. He saw the Marine Mom t-shirt I was wearing and struck up a conversation. We clicked right away and starting getting together with him and his wife, Laura, down the shore and then back in the Philly area. They felt like family right away and became two of our favorite people.
Once John was back behind the bar we started going to McGillins to visit him. We didn’t know who he was when we met him so it was funny to watch others recognize him - a local celebrity.
Have a picture with John? Post it. We'd love to see it!
