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.

Thanks, Bean2Bean Coffee Co, for the focus on our history!Our last chef/owner spotlight goes to Chris Mullins of McGillin's Olde Ale House! McGillin's is the oldest running bar in Philadelphia with 160 years under its belt, and has been owned by the Mullins family since 1958. Not only is McGillin's owned and operated by the Mullins family, the staff has worked there for decades and are considered family too. Staying true to the bar's historic side, Chris aims to keep as much of the bar the same as possible to preserve the memories people have made over the years. When you find yourself in Center City, go check out this piece of history.

The latest addition to our First Responders Wall came from Sam, who is from Lens, France. He was here with a French tour group that stopped at McGillin's for lunch. 🇫🇷
