Cheers to McGillin's: Philly's Oldest Tavern

By Irene Levy Baker

McGillin's Olde Ale House is the oldest continuously operating tavern in Philadelphia and one of the oldest in the country. The historic tavern's colorful history includes romances, celebrities, ghosts, and a tale of survival through the Civil War, two world wars, Prohibition, a fire, and two pandemics. Opening in 1860 (the year Abraham Lincoln was elected) McGillin's is an iconic Philadelphia institution. This preserves McGillin's unique legacy by chronicling the most enduring tales of McGillin's from the late 1800s through today and contains many never-before-published photos, along with plenty of great food and drink recipes from its bar and kitchen.
