O\u2019Hara\u2019s Irish Stout is a must to drink when you visit and as for food try Shepherd\u2019s Pie, Mile High Meatloaf and Fish &amp; Chips. Along the east wall of the first floor, behind the booths, is a collection of signs from iconic Philadelphia businesses that McGillin\u2019s has outlived. Internationally known politicians, professional athletes, rock stars, and television and movie stars have visit McGillin\u2019s over the years. The list is long. The bar\u2019s long-time publicist Irene Levy Baker wrote a book about its 166-year history called \u201cCheers to McGillin\u2019s, Philly Oldest Bar\u201d which is a must read! The bar has become part of the soul of Philadelphia and an iconic American institution.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Describe to the RSR readers when and by who McGillin&#8217;s Olde Ale House was founded?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>William \u201cPa\u201d McGillin opened the bar in 1860 &#8211; the year Lincoln was elected. He and Catherine \u201cMa\u201d McGillin raised their 13 children upstairs. It was originally called the \u201cBell in Hand\u201d and the original wooden sign (a hand holding a bell) hangs above the bar. Pa died in 1901 and Ma took over. On the bar\u2019s 50th anniversary she changed the name to McGillin\u2019s, because that\u2019s what everyone called the bar anyway and re-did the facade. She ran the bar, even through Prohibition.<\/p>\n<p>When she died, her daughter, Mercedes, and son, Michael, took over. When Michael died, Mercedes ran the bar with her nephew, who was the 3rd generation of the family to run the tavern. In 1958, the family sold the bar to Henry Spaniak &amp; Joe Shepaniak, brothers who spelled their last name differently when they Americanized it. Henry &amp; Joe ran the bar until 1993, when they sold it to their daughter and son-in-law, Mary Ellen &amp; Chris Mullins, Sr. They still run the bar today, with their son, Christopher Mullins, Jr. (who is Henry\u2019s grandson and the 3rd generation of his family to run the bar).<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: What is a drink that people must try at McGillin\u2019s?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Hara\u2019s Irish Stout. Some people lament that the bar doesn\u2019t serve Guinness. But, that\u2019s probably because they\u2019ve never tried O\u2019Hara\u2019s Irish Stout, which is the only stout made exclusively in Ireland of Irish grains and water. It\u2019s made by two brothers in County Carlow. Other than Irish Stout, we specialize in local, craft beers including three house beers made by Troeg\u2019s and only available at McGillin\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: What dish on the menu people must try?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Shepherd\u2019s Pie, Mile High Meatloaf, Fish &amp; Chips. The recipes are in our new book, &#8220;Cheers to McGillin\u2019s: Philly\u2019s Oldest Tavern\u201d along with tales about our colorful history, romances, ghosts, and how we survived the Civil War, two world wars, two pandemics, a fire and even Prohibition. Check it out on the website.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: There are signs of closed stores in McGillin\u2019s collection. Can you mention a few?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Along the east wall of the first floor, behind the booths, is a collection of signs from iconic Philadelphia businesses that McGillin\u2019s has outlived: Lit Brothers, CoreStates, Schmidt\u2019s, Gimbels, Snellenburg\u2019s, the F. W. Woolworth Company, Macy\u2019s, and more.<\/p>\n<p>In 1961, John Wanamaker opened the first department store in the United States. When Wanamaker\u2019s closed in 1995, an original logo patterned after John Wanamaker\u2019s signature became part of the collection at McGillin\u2019s, thanks to John Connors from Brickstone Realty, a good friend and customer. The sign from Strawbridge &amp; Clothier hangs in the tavern as well. That department store was founded in 1868, and when it closed in 2005, the sales clerks held the wake at McGillin\u2019s. Francis R. Strawbridge III, continued to stop by until his death in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>While the Mullins family cherishes the collection, they are in no hurry to acquire any additional signs, as that would mean a local business had met its demise.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Every liquor license since 1871 hangs on the wall at McGillin\u2019s.

The sign\u2019s glow is like a beacon, inviting them into the historic bar.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the heavy double doors, McGillin\u2019s is a classic English-looking pub with a beamed ceiling, tall windows, dark paneling, a working fireplace, and the original red tile floor.<\/p>\n<p>The focal point of the bar is its brick fireplace. In the old days it was used to roast the free potatoes. Now the seats nearby are considered some of the best in the house, especially during snowstorms.<\/p>\n<p>The decor is a virtual walk through Philadelphia\u2019s past and present:<\/p>\n<p>Liquor licenses dating back to 1871 hang above the bar. The original sign\u2014a wooden hand holding a bell representing the original name of the tavern, Bell in Hand\u2014hangs above the bar. A famous sign states that \u201cGentlemen will please avoid all political and religious discussion. Loud talking and singing strictly forbidden.\u201d Ma and Pa McGillin enforced this rule, but no one pays attention to it today.<\/p>\n<p>Hanging throughout the first and second floors and along the staircase are photos of celebrities who have visited over the years, including professional athletes, actors and actresses, rock stars, politicians from the United States and abroad, and regulars who made a name for themselves at Philly\u2019s oldest bar.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, some guests surreptitiously hung their own photos along the staircase. They thought that, with so many other images on the walls, no one would ever notice. The family did notice\u2014but left the pictures up anyway, taking them as a sign that guests felt at home at the bar.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the bar, but mostly on the staircase, are historic photos, such as Ma and Pa McGillin posing with their family, the Spaniak\/Shepaniak brothers, the Mullins family, and photos of past eras at McGillin\u2019s and in Philadelphia. Plus old menus, university pennants, breweriana, old newspaper articles and much, much more.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Why should people visit McGillin&#8217;s?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>After more than a century and a half, McGillin\u2019s has continued to receive accolades, including being named one of the 8 most authentic Irish pubs in the USA by USA Today, being featured on national morning shows, CNN, Al Jazeera, and MSNBC\u2019s Morning Joe, and it was even a clue in a New York Times crossword puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>But we don\u2019t rest on our laurels, we work hard every day to make guests feel welcome. McGillin\u2019s is a popular hangout for all ages, races, sexual orientations, blue and white collar workers, students and retirees, from around the world. McGillin\u2019s is beloved by locals and tourists and especially the Irish community. Whether guests visit as part of tradition or family lore; whether they are looking for great times on a Saturday night, or a hearty meal on their lunch break, or whether they are looking for their soulmate or for the bar they spotted on social media or TV &#8211; they always have high expectations. We strive to be just as extraordinary as the last time a local visited and to live up to the hype for a first timer.<\/p>\n<p>More couples have met at McGillin\u2019s than anywhere else in Philadelphia and the tavern is an annual anniversary destination for hundreds of couples who have met there, with their children and grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the historic bar has been owned by only two families: the McGillins, who raised their thirteen children upstairs and passed the bar down through three generations and the current owners, who have run the bar for three generations.<\/p>\n<p>Both families have set the bar high. They have dedicated every waking hour to being the best, to making memories, and to keeping the bar\u2019s 166 year history alive. And through it all, the bar has become part of the soul of Philadelphia and an iconic American institution.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>For more info, check out McGillin&#8217;s Olde Ale House\u2019s website: <a href=\"https:\/\/mcgillins.com\/\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;
