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.

Toasting Mary Ellen & Chris Mullins, Sr!
Exactly 32 years ago today they bought McGillin's Olde Ale House from Mary Ellen's father & uncle (who bought the historic bar from the McGillin family in 1958). The couple now runs McGillin's with their son, Christopher Mullins, Jr.
McGillin's has been in the same family for 3 generations -- 67 of its 165 years!

My family and I are so grateful to you all for preserving and cherishing McGillin’s as much as we do. Thank you so much, it truly means the world to us.
Gotta go and meet the Mullins. My birthday in Feb I get a buy one get one lunch!
Congrats to you all!!!!
McGillin's uses Charles Jacquin et Cie, Inc.'s Green Creme de Menthe in our famous Iggletini (named for how Philadelphians pronounce Eagles) and proudly serves its Roasters Daughter Espresso Martinis too. In fact, we've probably served Jacquin's since its founding. We love to use Jacquin products not just because they taste great but also because they are a local company working hard to make Philly happy!
ICYMI: There was a great piece about Charles Jacquin et Cie, Inc. in the Philadelphia Inquirer:
