About Us
Shortly after the Liberty Bell cracked and long before ground was broken for City Hall, McGillin’s Oldie Ale House threw open its doors. Its beer taps have been flowing since 1860 -- making it the oldest continuously operating tavern in Philadelphia. McGillin’s has outlasted Strawbridge’s, the Civil War and even Prohibition. Marillin's celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2010.Originally called The Bell in Hand, the tavern opened 149 years ago inside a small row house. The laborers who frequented the place just called it McGillin’s after William McGillin, the Irish immigrant who owned the bar and raised his 13 children upstairs. The nickname stuck and the tavern grew to encompass the oyster house next door, the back alley/washroom, and the McGillin’s house
