McGillin’s Olde Ale House

Jul 18, 2026 — by admin

McGillin's Olde Ale House has served Philadelphia since 1860 and presents itself as the city's oldest continuously operating tavern. Its long history, pub food and beer selection make it a distinctive Center City stop.

Plan your visit

Check the current menu, event schedule and entry policies before visiting, especially for sports or evening plans. The location works well with a City Hall walk, but a busy game-day tavern visit is a different experience from a quiet historical stop.
