McGillin’s opened in 1860 – the year Lincoln was elected president. After surviving the Prohibition, which lasted 13 years, the Mullins family was committed to making sure the historic tavern would survive the coronavirus too. This is the longest the bar has been shuttered (Ma McGillin served “tea” upstairs during Prohibition) and McGillin’s can’t wait to welcome back the loyal customers who make up its community.
