Get your Christmas spirit (& spirits) at McGillin's, Philadelphia's original pop up bar with over-the-top decor since 1860 and holiday drink prices that don't pop UP during the holidays. Make it a tradition to stop by before/after shopping & Christmas shows for meal/drinks. McGillin’s Olde Ale House is like a Winter Wonderland with hundreds of ornaments, bows and strings of lights. Starting early November.
We love being part of your holiday tradition!
We realize that wait times are sometimes long — thank you for your patience. We'll seat everyone as quickly as we can.
The no reservation policy helps us accommodate as many families as possible, it keeps seating fair and consistent and it keeps our prices at approachable levels.
We look forward to seeing all of your families another holiday season!
