Mcgillin's Olde Ale House

What a wonderful lunch experience I had here with my friend. Her first time at this Olde drinking establishment which opened their doors in 1860!! The first floor creates an atmosphere of warmth and friendliness. A long wooden bar with a large seating area of wooden tables n chairs and walls filled with historic photos quotes and humorous sayings. Great atmosphere!!! The food is delicious!! My friend had the R.B. McGillen which she said was one of the best Roast beef sandwiches au jus for dipping)she ever had. I had Shepherds pie a ceramic bowl of sirloin beef with peas topped with mashed potatoes and one of the best I ever had!!! I tried O'Haras stoudt imported from Ireland.... that's right folks no Guinness!!! I may have found a new stoudt to drink. Won't know for sure until I have several more pints...lol. Can't wait to go back again!!!!

I've visited this place twice, both times just for drinks, and I had a great experience on each occasion. The atmosphere is really cool, though it always seems to be quite crowded. If you enjoy a lively environment, you'll probably love it! It's just not quite my style. That said, the drinks are excellent, and it's a fun spot overall.

The restaurant offers a wide selection of local craft beers along with classic bar food. The portion sizes are just right for someone with a hearty appetite.

Thank you for hosting the Philly Young Republicans event featuring Kathy Barnette for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. We had an amazing time!

Great atmosphere with eclectic music! Attentive staff despite how busy it was. Good pub grub. Multiple stouts on draft.
