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.
The McGillin’s staff hit its original goal on GoFundMe. THANK YOU! You asked how you could help and you responded in an amazing way! While the owners are continuing to help, these virtual tips really help our staff and their families. All money raised goes directly to hourly and tipped staff, whose needs continues.
We will get through this and look forward to celebrating the end of Coronavirus with you, just as we were here to celebrate the end of Prohibition.
